Alien hand syndrome (AHS) or Dr. Strangelove

Alien hand syndrome (AHS) or Dr. Strangelove syndromeis a category of conditions in which a person experiences their limbs acting seemingly on their own, without conscious control over the actions.There are a variety of clinical conditions that fall under this category, which most commonly affects the left hand.There are many similar terms for the various forms of the condition, but they are often used inappropriately.The afflicted person may sometimes reach for objects and manipulate them without wanting to do so, even to the point of having to use the controllable hand to restrain the alien hand.While under normal circumstances, thought, as intent, and action can be assumed to be deeply mutually entangled, the occurrence of alien hand syndrome can be usefully conceptualized as a phenomenon reflecting a functional "disentanglement" between thought and action.
