In the journal Pain, they suggest this is because putting hands on the "wrong" sides disrupts sensory perception. Pain experts say finding ways of confusing the brain is the focus of many studies.

The team used a laser to generate a four millisecond pin-prick of pain to participants' hands, without touching them.
