9/11/2014

0 Comments

 
In the early seventies, Ian Waterman lost all sense of proprioception, which is the body's nearly unconscious sense of position in space -- how you know where your arm or toe is without having to think about it.

This is a BBC documentary about him and his incredible concentration.

I'd love to see some debate about this. Maybe all the infinitely wise people on Reddit will get into a fascinating discussi-- what the hell am I saying? Anyway, here's the link.
