Mm - hmm.
So this is all  This is  There 's this linguistic facts. But apparently , the  Uh. Here 's the way the findings go. That , you know they do MRI , and  and if you 're uh  got something within reach then there 's one of your areas lights up , and if something 's out of reach uh a different one. But here 's the  the amazing result , um , they say. You get someone with a  with a deficit so that they have a perfectly normal ability at distance things. So the s typical task is subdivision. So there 's a  a line on the wall over there , and you give them a laser pointer , and you say , " Where 's the midpoint ? " And they do fine. If you give them the line , and they have to touch it , they can't. There 's just that part of the brain isn't functioning , so they can't do that. Here 's the real experiment. The same thing on the wall , you give them a laser , " where is it ? " ,
Mm - hmm.
they do it. Give them a stick , long stick , and say " do it " , they can't do it. So there 's a remapping of distant space into nearby space.
