V.S. Ramachandran is the world's leading expert on phantom limbs. His findings help us to understand how a non-damaged brain is also doing all those things just in a less magnified way. I was able to speak to him at a wonderful conference, a really cool thing called Being Human in San Francisco. We did talk backstage and it's noisy so the interview that you're going to hear in just a minute is really noisy.
In this episode, we discuss confabulation with neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran, and at the end of the episode we taste a cranberry chocolate chip cookie while contemplating positive affirmations.
