It was interesting in this read to realize the role of body mapping for placing our sense of self solidly in the world. And it was particularly interesting to note the relationship body mapping has to "paranormal" experience, i.e. "out of body" experiences, "phantom pain" in amputees, the experience of extra limbs, or the brain's ability to develop new maps in virtual reality experiments, in which an experimenter learned to move claws and tail un-self-consciously.
