Every point on your body, each internal organ, and every point in space out to the end of your fingertips is mapped inside your brain. Your ability to sense, move, and act in the physical world arises from a rich network of flexible body maps distributed throughout your brain. The science of body maps provides a new way to understand human emotions. It can also help people lose weight, improve their ability to play sports, and assist recovery from stroke, among many other applications.
