everyone can do it even if they dont know it. all sensations from your nerves are sent to your brain as electrical impulses and then the brain interprets the impulse and tells you what your feeling, hard/soft cold/hot ect., so in essence you never actually 'feel' anything with any part of your body and whats happening when you create feeling in your hand is that your brain is simply telling you what you would feel if the object you immagine were actualy in your hand. you can duplicate any sensation you have ever felt and even tell what something would feel like with only having looked at it and never touched it. a good demonstration of this is if you have ever picked something up and though to yourself that it didnt feel how you imagined it would. -Jak
no need to get mean about it, maybe hes truely feeling something different then your trying to explain.
