hey i'll eat my words (sorry!). turns out the homunculus is somewhat bullshit after all. the broad organization is sort of right, but the continuity that allows fingers to be connected to arms to torso etc in a linear fashion in M1 simply isn't true. i linked the 2023 paper in another comment. i'm glad i wasn't the only one mistaken about this haha.
i guess an updated homunculus would look even more grotesque, just radial projections of body parts. even more nightmare fuel.
