I don't take drugs I can't I get urine tested at work. I actually have a urine test tomorrow I am certainly not on any drugs or medications right now.

I tested it further. Pitch black room with my eyes closed and with fabric covering my face and I can see the outline shadow of my hands and fingers. How.

Yes it is, and if your girlfriend can "see" how many fingers you're holding up too, it means she's a figment of your imagination.

No light. I assumed the brain has some kind of inbuilt knowledge of where all your limbs are and so in complete darkness I am hallucinating this mechanism.

But none of you have suggested this and this is supposed to be the smart board.

What it has is connection to a broad sheet of sensitive tissue and small hairs covering your entire body and other nerves under it too.

This seems a lot less likely than my suggestion as you're still basing it on sensation which isn't being activated. I can't use drugs I'm drug tested weekly for work but it sounds like you have run out of whatever drug you usually use.

You didn't mean that you said something completely different and now you're attempting to save face by pretending its what you meant. None of you could explain such a simple concept until I put forth my assumption.

Funniest thing is you didn't even need a black room or blindfold, you can just blow air on your forearm. Your brain distinctly perceives a cone of air or something, if you close your eyes you notice you're sub-visualizing it. Even though there's obviously nothing for you to see, even your arm hair is barely even moving.

And where does this moronic confidence come from exactly?

>> No.15541914

>>15541899
Nuh uh! I know what I meant

But yeah, fag you're right. It could be your brain just trying to make a sort of mental image of where exactly your limbs are, though I don't know if I would call it hallucinations

Because my left arm is still recovering from an accident where the skin and nerves had to be reattached I don't have much feeling in it but it looks the same as the right.

>> No.15541961

>>15541921
How dubious. But assuming that's true, it would mean your proprioceptors have recovered already. You can test that by positioning your left arm at a particular angle, closing your eyes, putting your arm down and trying to get it back to that particular angle without looking.
You can further test that by holding some object in your hand (ideally while holding the same in the other hand), if you can visualize both equally well then at least part of your somatosensory system in your arm is functioning just fine.

I don't believe it. There's a reason blind people can't walk, without eyes to see where the legs are they just stumble over.

your brain has extra info that you are not aware of at any time. it can track your limbs and can also create any type of visual image, overlayed on top of what your eyes see, in a way that you can't distinguish it from "reality".
all these "spiritual" bullshit is just a testament for how incredibly awesome, complicated and fascinating our biology is.
if people could just stop filling the blanks with whatever they wish for and call it "real", that would be great.

Sometimes when I am sleep paralyzed, I can still see myself wave my arms waving in front of my eyes, merely because I feel like I am currently doing this action, despite me rationally knowing my arms are currently paralyzed and at my side (I know this because after the paralysis episode, my arms are tucked under the sheath or wherever, so the waving was logically impossible).
The brain is spooky, innit?
