What`s happening when amputees feel not only pain from a severed limb, but a sense of 'wholeness'? IOW they 'feel' the limb to still be there. Is there a harddrive in the brain playing back pain sensations as well an aura of an intact body from before the operation, or do they still sense new input from a phantom limb?
