> The brain controls personality, as an originator or a receiver? > But when neuroscientists triumphantly pinpoint areas of the brain that light up during particular activities, they don't ask (and would not be able to answer anyway) just what part of the person activates those areas of the brain. -Another question, after I've had a night of vivid dreaming is, who is in control to manifest the dream sequences? Is it me or is it an independent brain? But I can relate most dreams to my own experiences and thoughts. Freud used dreams in his therapy of patients just for that reason. I know I initiate a line of reasoning at my volition, but I'm not in control of dreams. And of course the other question: why dream at all? What purpose? I know my dog dreams, I've watched him, but what function or purpose does it provide for him? The whole issue is well beyond fMRI's. I've presented websites that make the point that the material presented is extremely basic and elemental, like learning pre-K material when we are really searching for a Ph.D. thesis. For the atheist (think Dawkins) who uses Darwin to justify his personal philosophy, the presence of a conscious brain is a nightmare. By chance from an origin using inorganic matter to start? Ridiculous!
