It's common to see lower-leg amputees attempting to put a slipper on an amputated foot as it feels cold. Thanks for this video Fran, I found it very interesting.

Parkinson's is a serious problem the world needs to address, possibly through more stem cell research. (controversial, I know!) Anyway, the human brain is fascinating. I've been having seizures the past year and a half, and although it's frustrating, it has been quite an experience going through all the neurological tests & discussing things with my neurologist. Dr. C keeps telling me epilepsy might be related to creativity. Not sure if that's the case or if he's just trying to humor me 'cause I'm a graphic designer! Either way, the brain is amazing. Thanks for sharing the vid! First off, best wishes to Amy and her father. Parkinson’s is a serious problem the world needs to address, possibly through more stem cell research.

Levitin. If you haven't already read it, I highly recommend it. My Dad is in advanced stages of Parkinson's and on a daily basis I am fascinated by the way his brain is (or isn't) functioning. Maybe we missed our calling? This really reminds me of the book “This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession” by Daniel J. Levitin.
