Alien Hand Syndrome

Alien hand syndrome (AHS), also known as an anarchic hand or Dr. Strangelove syndrome, from the Stanley Kubrick film titled Dr. Strangelove (the first film to present AHS), is a rare neurological disorder. The main symptom of AHS is that the patient’s hand appears to have been possessed by a will of its own, acting without them being aware of it.

The condition is most commonly caused by a brain injury. However, much about AHS remains a mystery, as not enough information has been gathered on the causes, cures, or treatments for alien hand syndrome.
