Question Phantom vibrations???

There is a story on Yahoo news (video with no link) today, discussing how
normal people are getting phantom vibration sensations from their cell phones.

I think this is very similar to the vibration sensations PNers sometimes have.

The neuro that was interviewed says the brain learns the feeling, and then it
may become phantom for some people! (like phantom limb perceptions after an
amputation).

So that leads me to wonder how much we are really perceiving, and how much it might be historical perception? (learned responses) ??

If you go to Yahoo news today, you can see the video. I couldn't find a link to it, I'm sorry.
