I don't know what you mean, but i don't think you know what i mean either. You're being too vague or inconsistent about what we are talking about. I t...
I answered this here: This process would stimulate your brain using the information from my brain, after translating it from my encoding to yours givi...
Right. Those statistical models are needed to reproduce the information contained within the electromagnetic signals emitted by neural activity. The i...
The "living experience" in the brain is simply the active and recursive processing of the conscious mind, or the "global workspace". Experience is a s...
That's fine, but my original response was about finding an image in the brain, not about the experience of the image. Experience involves the processi...
That's right, the input stimulus and response sessions are meant to identify the encoding that a specific brain uses for the images or parts of images...
Then where does the information used to recreate the images on the device come from? The brain does not store information, such as an image, in the sa...
I just wanted to answer your question about: I wouldn’t say we can exist without a body, since the brain itself is part of the body. However, it does ...
Why would the brain need to process pain messages? What would happen if the brain did not process the pain messages? The reason phantom pain occurs is...
I just wanted to bring to your attention: The feeling of your body is not truly the feeling of your body, but rather the feeling of your brain simulat...
In my opinion, the singularity has not yet occurred, but i do believe we have already crossed its temporal event horizon, and there is no going back. ...

From my understanding, everything you quoted and said in your last reply to me is absolutely correct. I have a more engineering and technical oriented...
Yes, but how do you suppose the determinate and finite aspects of the universe come from or emanate from this Indeterminate One Infinite Zero? How and...
The thing of all things that is not a thing. The sound of the silent word. The nature of origin, and the point of reason. The deep darkness from which...
So, you think that an atomically precise replica of a genuine work of art is not art? For you, the art lies in the physical artifact itself rather tha...
Some art is valuable not only because of its aesthetic appeal but also because of its historical significance. An old painting, such as one created by...
Well if i knew which one was the original before they got mixed up then i would know that one of them is the original. I will have a 50/50 chance of b...

Well, what i intended to express there was that the deeper the exogenous stimulation of the brain is, the more integrated and unified the effect felt ...
The extended mind theory proposes a different way of defining the "whole". It argues that the cognitive system is not limited to the brain or even to ...
