You've probably experienced it and didn't even realize there was a name for it. “Phantom Vibration Syndrome" happens when you think your phone vibrates, but it doesn't.  In fact, sometimes your phone isn't even near you. It's a phenomenon that happens to more people as we depend more on technology in our lives. Dr. Robert Rosenberger is an Associate Professor at Georgia Tech, and studies this syndrome.
