After a surgery in which nerve plexuses were damaged, resulting in the inability to raise my right arm above my shoulder. I began physical therapy to regain the full use of my right arm. One therapist came up with the idea of using my fingers, which still worked well, to climb my hand up a wall until my arm was overhead. Within a month I had regained full use of my right arm, once my nerves remapped to enable the motion. The brain had to relearn using certain muscle groups in certain ways resulted in certain motions.

Fascinating! This experiment with the poking robot finger was also carried out to investigate the experience with "night mares". It turned out that this phenomenon is related to the asynchrony between body and mind. As it was said at the end of the video, our body constantly performs a check of its spatial position - even while we sleep. But sometimes it happens that people who wake up can open their eyes, but their body is still in sleep paralysis. The intensity of this experience varies from person to person. Often they feel a presence in the room. Something in the periphery of their eyes. Sometimes it is a mystical person standing in a certain part of the room, or a shadowy spider slowly approaching from the ceiling. The now less mystical explanation for these reports is the aforementioned asynchrony between body and mind, which causes the body to make us believe that another body is standing in the room. In this case the foreign body is only the manifested expectation of the own spatial body position. And now this experiment is being studied for possible Parkinson's early diagnosis. I wonder if there is a correlation to night mare episodes and Parkinson?
@kemueeel9 ай бұрын
Several of my mom's siblings have had these sleep paralysis for decades. I had it three times, a very spooky/scary experience. I also used to think that it's just our mind's attempts at trying to process/explain this unexplainable experience and the mind just brings up whatever kinda makes sense in this situation and creates these images/silhouettes of mystical creatures from the past database/experiences like movies, stories, cartoons etc.; and then 15 years later demons were cast out of me at a church which I walked into as an atheist lol. This is a real story and I was oh-so-humbled and traumatized because I was totally unprepared. There is so much more in this existence that we don't know/choose not to educate ourselves.
@dio86369 ай бұрын
I had sleep paralysis 3 or 4 nights, several times each night. Twice when I was 16. I woke up, couldn't move, and when I opened my eyes a very old lady was screaming right in my face, like almost touching me and I could almost feel her breath on my face. Then the same happened with an old man. I had never heard of sleep paralysis ebfore and it took years before I found out it was a real thing. Then, the next 2 times were last month actually. I woke up, couldn't move, didn't hallucinate any people but I kept trying desperately to get up as I was aware I could hallucinate one any minute. Then I'd succeed in getting up, or moving, but then I'd blink my eye and I Would STILL be paralysed. I hallucinated I had succeeded in getting up about 15-20 times, it was horrible lol. Once I even made it to the toilet only to blink and still be paralyzed in my bed. It took so much effort trying to move that I eventually fell back asleep not having moved a single toe. Which is what you should try if it ever happens to you! Moving a toe or a finger will wake your body up and enable the rest of your limbs to move after. Just didn't work for me because I was on sleeping pills and my body was too tired. But for normal people it should work
@dannydetonator9 ай бұрын
Most of people i know have had the sleep paralysis, luckily without scary hallucination in my case (i've had them while awake though, beyond scary). We have aord for it in my language, known for at least centuries, attributed to an evil spirit, "lietuvēns". This is the best explanation yet, don't know about the supernatural - as everything is natural, if yet unexplained.

I have an atrophied cerebellum. As a result, my vestibular sensory system is seriously compromised. I can't walk without technical assistance, (a walker),I have no precision in my movements. The diagnosis for me is spinocerebellar ataxia. I've recently received TMS treatment (transcranial magnetic stimulation). The treatment has helped my cognition but it didn't help my balance, so I still can't walk. The onset of this condition started when I was 53, I'm 69 now. Most of it is hereditary, I've spent years trying to find an effective treatment. Any ideas Mr. Vance?
