More than fun. True ways to fool the brain. The brain isn't a perfect observer of everything. But purposely fooling the brain does not disprove 'self' in ordinary life where experiences are more controlled. But it does show there can be disconections. With purposeful understanding, study and restudy we can overcome much of this.-I agree it is not proof. But then it is somthing we have to consider when we give anecdotal evidence for a self as evidence for a consciousness.-But ultimately when it comes to consciousness, anecdotal stories is a powerful source of our positions. Interestingly Blackmore suggests that external examination of the mechanics of consciousness will only get us so far and that we we should try examining our anecdotal perceptions in a bit more detail and scientifically.

At work I am known as a contrarian ... for the life of me I don't know why.
