Man has made a lot of advances in the field of Natural Sciences. However, despite these accomplishments, we are still yet to fully understand the very core of all these—our brains. Experts say that we are yet to fully understand how the brain processes information.
There are a lot of theories that attempt to define what a “self” is, but the fundamental question remains. Are you a body with a mind or a mind with a body?
Let’s watch the video and find out.
Discussion Questions:
- According to the video, what does the Rubber Hand Illusion experiment show about our judgment?
- Do you believe that our body is part of our consciousness? Why or why not?
- What do you think is the reason why despite extensive research, we still understand very little of how the brain works?
- What is your opinion on neuroprosthetics and/or mind uploading? Do you think they’re possible?
- Based on the arguments raised in the video, which one do you think are we? A body with a mind or a mind with a body? Explain your answer.
