Seeing the phantom: A functional magnetic resonance imaging study of a supernumerary phantom limb
Annals of Neurology, 2009 AbstractObjectiveSupernumerary phantom limb (SPL) is a rare neurological manifestation where patients with a severe stroke‐induced sensorimotor deficit experience the illusory presence of an extra limb that duplicates a real one. The illusion is most often experienced as a somesthetic phantom, but rarer SPLs may be intentionally triggered or seen. Here,
