If you have had a stroke, you may develop a condition where you believe that your arm, or other limbs, are not your own. There are many other conditions where people lose their sense of their body parts. We speak to neuroscientist and psychologist Dr Andreas Kalckert, whose research in body perception tries to understand how the mind understands ownership and control of our body.
