[QUOTE=Reagy;51250804]Here's something else for you to think about, you as yourself is only one half of your brain, the left hemisphere, the other half is actually a completely separate "person" that can't talk because the right lacks the speech centre, normally its just a slave to the portion that is "you" and they work together, but there are conditions where it can take over, look up Alien Hand Syndrome, its an example of where the other section takes control and does stuff without you actually consenting to it, think of it as someone trying to talk but they can only do it through action because they can't actually talk.
Basically, you is two and they work together to be you, if you want to look into it more look up split brain and Corpus Callosotomy, it used to be a thing that was done to treat epilepsy but it actually opened up a lot on how the brain as a whole works, as we know both sides are specific to doing certain things, when you remove the link between them, shit gets fucking weird.[/QUOTE]

Imagine being able to communicate with that part. Sounds fucking insane.

Ok, wow. While watching that, my internal dialogue started playing along as though it were the silent brain finally getting through and scolding me for being so dense.
This is all a bit much for today I think.

basically you get brains from a father and body from mother

It makes the tulpa-mancing crowd seem more believable, at least.
As in it seems like they trained their right brain to actually communicate on a conscious level that their left brain can understand.

But is it actually an evolved Spermatozoon?
[QUOTE=Jamsponge;51250908]Imagining that this person had only [I]just[/I] died, probably less than half an hour or so before this video was filmed... It makes you wonder if they still experience anything, even the vaguest vestige of what we'd call life. Obviously they're not feeling being touched, since the brain has no nerve endings, but I suppose we won't know exactly what happens or what it feels like until we go through it ourselves.[/QUOTE]

Man, the amount of comments like "wow this piece of meat was someone's whole life" really shows how arrogant humans are, isn't it?

They don't really do it justice though, since the information (just barely still) stored in it isn't visible to us.
Depending on who you ask, you can consider the lingering effects someone has on others part of their life too. I guess that's up to what the latter entails to each individual though.

Makes me wonder if it's ever going to be possible to replace the brain of a recently deceased similarly aged individual with the healthy brain of another with a paralyzed body.
[editline]24th October 2016[/editline]
As if you were to replace the CPU, RAM and all other important components and put them in a new motherboard in a different case.
Brain transplantation has been tried before, hasn't it? Or at the very least head transplantation.
I wonder how that's even possible. How do you allow the spinal cord, which has been previously severed, to reconnect to the new brain? Furthermore, what has previously been a human individual is now nothing more than an empty husk during the time of the procedure...
Somehow the part that freaked me out the most is learning that the entire brain is suspended in a bath of fluid and covered by that weird flap sticking out of the top.

There are two huge problems we're barely scratching the surface of:
-The brain is actively, at all times, regulating tons of critical bodily functions. You have to figure out a way to keep the entire body 'going' after it's lost connection to the damaged brain.
-Rejection is even more of an issue. We still haven't fully figured out how to get a body to accept a kidney without going haywire and trying to eject it, we're ages from getting a brain to interface with an entirely different body. In your computer analogy, that's the equivalent of taking a hard drive and sticking it inside another computer. The drivers the OS has are for the previous one, and it hardly ever works well.

Arrogant? If anything it's humbling.

I'll just add on that people used to think the brain was immunologically privileged and would not be attacked by immune systems, but the experimental head transplant done by Dr. Robert J. White transplanting the head of a monkey onto another monkey's headless body proved otherwise. The transplant survived nine days before the monkey died. In addition to this, the monkey was paralyzed from the neck down in any event because the transplant involved severing of the nerves at the neck level, and any advancement in this regard has to account for normal functionality completely restored in the transplanted body if this method is to become successful.
The big issue is how this could be properly researched and progress without violating ethical concerns, as the White experiments were deemed barbaric by the medical community at large, and are a pretty gray area when it comes to advancing medical knowledge in its current state.

in serious sam classic (not HD) you could split screen coop with 4 characters and have them all bound to the same controls
have your left and right brain each control 4 characters
1 person playing 8 people
it looks pretty delicious tbh

It's fucked up mostly only if you have your hemispheres severed. Normally the halves are wired together and functionally one entity.
If you were to have two entirely separate whole brains in one head, perfectly wired together since birth, you couldn't really consier them different "persons" after a while.
