according to UCL researcher Dr Henrik Ehrsson,

"we feel that our self is located where the eyes are"

this makes sense for non-blind people. i just wondered if it was any different for people who have been blind since birth. perhaps they perceive 'self' to be nearer the ears or heart? Bit of an odd question i know, but it's also crucial to the survival of the human race.
