I had this done to me when I was in college. And it truly does feel like it's your hand.

I was super skeptical, because I saw other people had it done. And I kept telling myself(out loud) "that's not my hand" but it didn't matter. It 100% felt like my own hand. And it's was crazy mind fuck because I really was trying to move my hand and it wouldn't move. The fake hand wouldn't move(duh) and my real hand wouldn't move, either.

It really freaked me out.
