Golf Clubs Change How You Perceive Your Physical Body, New Possibilities Emerge for Amputees
Next time you pick up your golf club your brain may do more than look for a long fairway.

The simple act of holding a mechanical tool, such as a golf club, “temporarily modifies the cerebral representation of a subject’s arm,” said Lucilla Cardinali, lead author of the study.
Essentially, individuals think their arm is temporarly longer. The cognitive schema for ‘body’ momentarily adapts and grows in size. And all of this takes place without your conscious awareness.

The brains of these riders have shifted the cognitive schema to include the bike as an extension of their body. No doubt.
