0n the Penfield map

Carl Zimmer discusses Penfield map http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2013/07/24/mouseunculus-how-the-brain-draws-a-little-you/ and curiously does not discuss V.S Ramachandran's work on phantom limbs and pains http://www.npr.org/2011/02/14/133026897/v-s-ramachandrans-tales-of-the-tell-tale-brain See also the comments, in particular the one by Michael Eastlake where he applied Ramachandran's technique. It seems to me that this is a useful technique not widely practiced except in places like Afghanistan.
