Scientific American had a great article on this a month or so ago (could've been more, I've lost track of time). I plan on building a "mirror box" based on Ramachandran's article for my sensation and perception class--the article suggests some interesting applications.
I also heard Ramachandran speak (probably about 10+ years ago) and he was fantastic. I would love to have him come to my school and talk, but he's expensive. Sigh...he used to be cheap. Arol Carol L.

News Although this article reports work coming out of Boston, it was pioneered here in San Diego by Ramachandran at UCSD. I heard him give a presentation about 5 years ago about this and it was fascinating. Ramachandran strikes me as a somewhat more emprically based Oliver Sacks type of person. A very interesting fellow.
