Try searching for brain position body.

That still wasn't helping me find the word for it. But when I added "model" to the search it brought me to this.

Kinesthetic was the word I had in mind. And I knew it was connected to the "phantom limb" situation, but when I searched for that I was just finding stuff about phantom pains.

Also, the 27th result for brain "body position" is UIUC Kinesiology - Exercise Psychophysiology Laboratory. All on one page for me.

the 27th result for brain "body position"

The search you gave me was brain position body, no quotes. There's a difference, you know.

Anyway, the 30th result on that search had this:

PROPRIOCEPTION: The sensory awareness of the position of body parts with or ...

But the site timed out on me. Not that it matters, because I'm too impatient to read down that far. That's why I stick to the default 10 results per page.

Hey, I didn't pick the color. And I think the inspiration behind that smiley is a sound, not a color.

Blowing a raspberry or making a Bronx cheer is to make a noise made to signify derision, made by sticking out the tongue between the lips and blowing to make a sound reminiscent of flatulence. In the terminology of phonetics, this sound does not appear to have an official name, but might be characterized as a labiolingual trill.
