"The brain is constantly monitoring the body. Specialized brain regions create maps of the body’s position, form and physical state—including all of its sensory inputs. Neuroscientists call this mental representation the bodily self. For a long time, scientists assumed that this representation was relatively unchanging. But findings over the past few decades show that the bodily self is surprisingly malleable. The brain constantly updates this self-representation in response to what a person sees, feels and hears."
