I was just browsing various health subjects and I happened to come across this. At first I thought it would rather put a dent in such mystical subjects such as, OBEs, reiki healing and similar subjects. However as I read on it seemed to draw quite interesting parallels between the two. I guess I need to look more closely at how the study was done to really have an opinion on it, but it was interesting reading.

I found it on this link:

Researchers instructed the woman to move her right hand. As expected, the motor cortex and visual processing areas in the left side of her brain became mobilised.

The same effects were observed to a lesser extent when the woman simply imagined moving her right hand. Imaginary movements of the woman's paralysed left hand prompted the same activity in the brain, but on the right side.

But when doctors asked her to move her phantom arm, her brain reacted as though the arm really existed and could be moved. In addition, the patient's visual cortex was also activated, indicating the she actually saw the imaginary limb.

And when she was instructed to scratch her cheek, regions of the brain relating to touch were activated

This gives me ideas on ways to supplement NEW.
