Anyone ever get that feeling that your cell phone is buzzing when it really isn't. Apparently you're not the only one. After keeping your phone on vibrate for a while, your brain will attempt to interpret that sensation as part of your body.
"If you use your cell phone a lot, it becomes part of you," says Dr. William Barr, the chief of neuropsychology at the New York University School of Medicine. "You become habituated to it.
"It's like wearing a tight sock all day," he explains. "When you take it off, you still feel it there on your foot. If your cell phone is not there, you still feel like it is."
Interesting huh?
