The Malleability of our Sense of Self

The podcast explores how our sense of self can be easily manipulated through the rubber hand illusion experiment. By synchronizing touches on a visible rubber hand and the hidden real hand, individuals can start feeling a sense of ownership over the rubber hand as if it's their own. This experiment demonstrates the malleability of our sense of body and how conflicting information can influence our perception of self. It also raises questions about the unity of our experiences and the existence of a self underlying our perceptions.
