A neurological condition where a person feels a touch or sensation on one side of their body but perceives it on the opposite side.
From allo- (other) + Greek cheir (hand), literally 'other hand.' First documented in neurology to describe a crossing of sensory perception.
Your brain is like a mail sorting office, and in allochiria, the 'letters' of touch get sorted to the wrong addresses—a touch on your left arm feels like it's happening on your right!
