Closer eyes, touch your chest, reach your hand out, touch your chest, chest, chest, chest.

Over the summer I went to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland to see

a study take place.

When we go into a lab, it's a big white square room on the walls or a dozen plus infrared

cameras and they're all pointing at the center.

And in the center of the room, there's a desk and a chair and a woman's strap to the chair.

What they're investigating here is extremely rare and is something that really made me

think a lot about.

What does it mean to have a body?

All eyes and all these cameras on this woman, the center of the room, and she's asked to

do a pretty simple test.

So out on the desk in front of her, there's a cylinder.

It's a black cylinder and there's a little piece of plastic.

It's kind of like a motion capture ball and she's asked to touch her sternum and then

touch the ball.

It's really unremarkable, like okay, she touched it and then comes the hard part.

And they have her close her eyes and it's like it was a race from her mind.

She suddenly starts grooping like to the left to the right kind of smacking it and if she

does it kind of seems as though it was an accident.

This woman was actually one of two sisters being studied at the NIH and later on I saw

the other sister perform a walking test.

Now that he likes both you, your rest first.
