My Brain PhD.

My PhD is about the brain. In it I suggest the brain is like the lungs; it ‘breaths’ in and out in brain waves and contributes in a meta sense one’s mind, much as the lungs contribute oxygenated blood. Its in breath is the sensory perception cycle and its out breath is its prediction cycle. Crudely it plays a complete game of ‘20 Questions’ every second. It works in real time using basically one single process to provide perception, memory, imagination, and if you’re asleep, dreams. Though it perceives via the senses it exists in a different and isolated domain to its real environment. It does not function in an absolute sense but is constantly adjusting to its sensed surroundings. Now the fun begins. You didn’t think this was going to be serious did you. So how do you confuse the brain? Well you can cut off its air supply as in sensory depravation, in which case its host will go crazy. You can blast it with sensory input around brainwave frequency to mess up its perception/prediction cycle and it will suffer terminal confusion. Apparently tunes from Sesame Street are particularly good for this. You can slowly, over time, adjust its circumstance so, though it doesn’t notice any change, it will end up with a completely different outlook by the end. You can give the outward appearance of doing nothing while behind the scenes feverishly beavering away on some dastardly fiendish plot. See ‘Ninja Cat’-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSdShKOybSU You can continuously feed it repetitive banalities to, in effect, put it to sleep. You can ‘teach’ it to think in prescribed ways. You can mislead it. And PsyOps thought they had a monopoly on this sort of thing!
