experence (pain) which appears to be located in the amputated limb. This is an 
exceptional, but reliable, observation suggesting that there is not an absolute 
association between neuronal events and consciousness (and
I'm defining it). i.e events in the amputated limb - I accept that the
registering of pain in consciousness is a neuronal event, at some level of 
analysis, but, in the brain, not the limb." 



Amputed limb "belongs" to the phenomenological body not the "physical body" as 
the brain does. This phenomenological body "is" indeed in the brain. There is 
no "events in the amputed limb".
