"Backmasking" - Jeff Milner
This is the website with a collection of songs that supposedly have hidden messages if you play them backward. See how many you can get before you look at the reverse lyrics.

"Mosquito" tone
Here are a few versions of the so-called mosquito tone. Have your parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles/siblings/etc. listen to it to find out who can hear it and who can't. Each one gets a little tougher to hear. Most of you probably won't be able to hear the last one (although your dog might be able to). media type="file" key="8000.mp3" width="240" height="20" media type="file" key="12000.mp3" width="240" height="20" media type="file" key="15805.mp3" width="240" height="20" media type="file" key="18798.mp3" width="240" height="20" media type="file" key="21101.mp3" width="240" height="20" media type="file" key="22357.mp3" width="240" height="20"

The Artist With No Eyes, Esref Armagan
This is a pretty incredible and bizarre video about a painter who depicts things that he's never seen... since he was born without eyes! Truly remarkable. Thanks to Ryan Lecy for finding and sharing this video. media type="youtube" key="L3AgO6H0H98" height="315" width="420"

Phantom Limb Syndrome
Your text refers to "phantom limb sensations" which are when people that have had a limb amputated often describe perceived touch, movement, or pain sensations from limbs that are no longer there. This is a fascinating phenomenon that occurs due to the brain interpreting random nervous system activity. This further shows that even our perception of touch (just like all of our other senses) is ultimately really just our brain's interpretation of the firing of a collection of neurons. As a result, certain firing may cause us to experience things that aren't "real." Again, I ask... what is "reality"?
