Abstract in brief
- Alien Hand Syndrome (AHS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by involuntary limb movements and a feeling that the limb does not belong to the person, mainly affecting the hand or leg.
- It has different types, such as anterior frontal, callosal, and posterior variants, each linked to specific brain areas like the supplementary motor area and inferior parietal lobule, which are involved in controlling limb movements.
- Current research explores various theories about how AHS develops, including damage from strokes or neurodegenerative diseases, and discusses approaches for diagnosis and treatment based on understanding its complex brain connections.]

Most liked on X and BlueskyHuh, apparently if you get high enough as a system you can give yourself alien hand syndrome and get dommed by your own appendage. I've drunk a lot of water in my life, but never "dominantly poured water down my own throat" before today

Alien Hand Syndrome (AHS) is a rare neurological disorder where a person experiences involuntary movements of one hand, as if the hand has a mind of its own.
Random. Years ago my mom was hospitalized because she got “Alien Hand Syndrome” to this day when I think about it, I almost pee myself laughing. It was hilarious. I mean she had an infection in her brain fluid and that was not funny, but the alien hand was probably the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

He is a psychopath with a twitch. Dr. Strangelove is his role model. The nerves that control his neck muscles are like Dr. Strangeloves Alien Hand Syndrome (AHS). Miller twitches his head to the right every few seconds, and can't seem to control it. Fascinating to watch.

- It is St. Augustine's Day! He preached for the union of man and machine until the day his soul was uploaded to the Datasphere. - There have been reports of second-hand bioware containing traces of the previous owner's psyche. Coincidentally, there has been a sudden rise in the alien hand syndrome.

Woah, I was thinking of making a thread about how I think the Aging Devil arc was inspired by Doctor Strangelove. The idea that Asa/Yoru will go full Alien Hand Syndrome is pretty compelling.
Or, alternately - in any medical drama show, conditions like alien hand syndrome are gonna be overrepresented and conditions like alcoholism or schizophrenia are gonna be underrepresented. The audience is there to be entertained, not learn the frequency of certain conditions.

Peter Sellers as: Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, a British RAF exchange officer. Merkin Muffley, the President of the United States. Dr. Strangelove (né Merkwürdigliebe), the wheelchair-bound nuclear war expert and former Nazi, who has alien hand syndrome.
This car I'm renting has a thing where the steer jerks if the car decides I'm too close to the edges It's really quite scary. Like microdosing alien hand syndrome
Fun fact: Aja suffers from alien hand syndrome, a neurological condition where one's hand feels detached from one's self and will act on it's own so much so that people who have it refer to their hand as if it was it's own entity.

ALIEN HAND SYNDROME~
Alien hand syndrome. Dr. Strangelove demonstrated one in action. Some issues are so heinous in #47 that some appendages must rebel against the apparatus “brains.”
The alien hand syndrome episode of Watson missed the obvious opportunity to make the alien hand the good guy and the rest of Phipps the bad guy.
#Gayboyfriend & I are watching #Watson S1 ep10 The Man with the Alien Hand The clinic's latest patient, who is under treatment for Alien Hand Syndrome, comes under suspicion of fatally pushing his brother in front of a bus. Watson must determine if he is guilty or innocent.
They just make up names for these condition bc "alien hand syndrome" sounds wrong. #WatsonCBS

I am the same, as soon as I have a coffee in my hand I get alien hand syndrome
What you're describing here, basically, is called "alien hand syndrome", and it's a real disorder. The most high-profile (fictional) example in popular media is Dr. Strangelove. But I do like the idea it could be caused by TFing someone into a hand, rather than the decidedly less fun actual causes.

@willow0w0.bsky.social alien hand syndrome
Yep but mine is almost like having alien hand syndrome x 2. Bilateral tremor, numb swatches at the thumbs, & not knowing my own strength or too little strength ends up with me knocking things around or flinging them across the room. Both are bad news for a house filled with vintage/antiques.

Maybe I won’t rewatch the film. Between the Alien Hand Syndrome and *everything else going on*, vintage satire is supposed to be outlandish and exaggerated not prophecy… www.newyorker.com/news/news-de...
one of our special interests is weird brain stuff like split-brain syndrome or alien hand syndrome we believe those two examples show that the brain is (usually) two consciousnesses working together to form our perception of self, and the ways they work when separated are fascinating!
Not me asking in the group-chat before I drop a Dr. Strangelove reference about "alien hand syndrome"
Great example of @mattglassman312.bsky.social's idea of "The disembodied senator" that is a senator who seems to believe that they aren't actually a senator, or perhaps someone else controls their action alien hand syndrome style.
There's this thing called Alien Hand Syndrome, where the hand will act separately from the body and attack normally the face. That's what this GIF reminds me of
Has Elon blamed "Alien Hand Syndrome" yet?
For his performance as Strangelove, Sellers spoke in a German accent and combined it with the speech patterns of famed photographer Arthur ‘Weegee’ Felling. Sellers also said Strangelove suffers from ‘Alien Hand Syndrome’, causing his arm to shoot up. 42/50
As fans of Dr. Strangelove will know all too well, it's clearly Alien Hand Syndrome where your limbs do their own thing regardless of conscious control. Often suffered by those who have had a lobotomy.
A Strangelove-esque Alien Hand Syndrome?
I don't flip them off, but I DO seem to have the affliction of Dr. Strangelove's 'alien hand syndrome' when I encounter any Tesla. Weird.
He's like Dr Strangelove in the Peter Sellers movie who's right arm involuntary makes the Nazi salute. Maybe Elon has AHS, alien hand syndrome.
. May Musk develop alien hand syndrome and choke himself.
Alien Hand Syndrome (AHS) is a horrible condition that happens to strike us when a nazi is around Horrible that I can't control my hand and it accidentally slaps people from time to time!
For folks tht don’t know Who/What Kubrick, or4thtmttr, Who/What Peter Sellers was, They’re MissingA WholeLevel OfFilmography’sHistory & aCentury of satire/black comedy/parody!
Does he think they should call it alien hand syndrome instead?
Wikipedia: "According to Alexander Walker, Sellers improvised Dr. Strangelove's lapse into the Nazi salute, borrowing one of Kubrick's black leather gloves for the uncontrollable hand that makes the gesture. Dr. Strangelove apparently has alien hand syndrome." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Str...

Musk wasn’t doing a Nazi salute; he has Alien Hand Syndrome. www.zmescience.com/medicine/ali...

He suffers from Alien Hand Syndrome....Dr Strangelove suffered from it too.

Elongated Mouseturd gives his impression of Peter Sellers as Dr. Strangelove and his alien hand syndrome
If he meant it, he'd be making it in some sense deniable, so the fans could relish it while he claimed innocence. Or say he was "joking", like Trump. That's how these trolls work. Hence the imitation of Peter Sellers doing alien hand syndrome. He definitely meant it.
It's just alien hand syndrome, people, it's very common with people with high intellect like him and nuclear war experts, jeeeeeeeez.
I would think you of all people would be understanding of the plight of people suffering Alien Hand Syndrome.
In Dr Strangelove in 1964, Peter Sellers has alien hand syndrome and can’t stop himself giving a Hitler salute. In Washington today, Elon Musk doesn’t even try.
so they are going to say it's alien hand syndrome, aren't they?
That was not the effect of alien hand syndrome.
Alien hand syndrome. Dr. Strange love style.
cowboy that has alien hand syndrome and can play the mandolin on occasion. and uses she her nouns on weekends
alien hand syndrome is fascinating, horrifying but also really sad
Just saw an ad for the new series, "Watson" that featured a storyline on Alien Hand Syndrome. I guess Alien Penis Syndrome has just been overdone.
Alien hand syndrome - my right hand thinks it's a bird and attacks me in the night.
maybe could function similar to alien hand syndrome or split brain patients. two halves of one brain trying to coexist/communicate and often failing miserably
Alien Hand Syndrome (AHS) is a rare neurological disorder where a person experiences involuntary movements of one hand, as if the hand has a mind of its own.
When you see genuinely isolated neurological stuff it’s magical. There’s a couple videos of alien hand syndrome out there. Incredible.
