it's the phantom limb phenomenon made famous by V.S Ramachandran.

WHY YOU ARE WRONG: You have missed one particular point that shows how wrong you are about this. The subject does not pull away with their real hand most of the time. If you were to do this test without the rubber hand, everyone would pull their hand away from the hammer. You have not convinced them that the rubber hand is their real hand, you've taught them that things happening to the rubber hand will also be done to the real one. So while part of them is aware that you are not striking the real hand, there is that moment of fear that they will also feel it in the real hand. There IS a difference.

-

I'd like to see the outtakes where he hits the wrong hand.

But I just get scared when I see a hammer slammed down...

I'm not sure it's neuroplasticity, on such a short time period. As far as I know, the brain takes a while to rewire itself. Speaking as someone with multiple sclerosis, I wish the brain was a bit faster with the rewiring :D

He suggested them what he wanted from them, so they were merely compliant. Also the visual stimulus of one hammer hitting an familiar shaped object so near to their actual hand is helping.
Would be more convincing if he took some kind of brain measurement and tried the experiment with and without stroking the hands. But it's fun to play and call it science. -
I did this to my friend
-
Interesting...........brings to mind an idea........
-
I was only watching this on the computer screen and I was flinching when he hit the rubber hand with the hammer...
-
Isn't he suppose to hit the actual hand?
-
Surely this is more to do with associative conditioning. They may feel pain from the hammer, because ever other action is being done in synchrony with the real hand. Therefore being hit in the rubber hand with the hammer may elicit fear, because they may anticipate also being hit on their real hand.

Is the narrator claudia black? I fucking love her

Consider this: The brain didn't adopt the rubber hand. It simply correlated the synchronization of stimulation and extrapolated that a simular experience was probably gonna hit the actual hand, so it has reason for fear.
If the brain actually believed the rubber hand belonged to it, wouldn't it experience pain of some sort?
Shit's not adding up lol -
