I remember this study. And I think, as I thought then, that it's not a mental ninja mind trick responsible but the ENVIRONMENTAL FEEDBACK that stimulated & reactivated parts of the brain still harboring feelings & "muscle" type memory from their existence decades earlier. It's not just forcefully requiring your brain & body to act "as if," it's being given the natural stimuli so they can. Naturally.
