I've blogged a-lot about luxuries to purchase. But here is a video worth watching. Dr. Ramachandran discusses mirror nuerons. As a child I speculated the concept, but never could quite explain it. Until now I have always described this particular connection with other humans as a waltz, our mouths are shut but our souls are dancing over-head. Dr. Ramachandran explains the Phantom Limb to be our neuro-connection with one another. For example, when someone-else is hit in the balls you feel it! you feel empathy, you feel their pain, your brain fires the same neuro-connections as if your own arm sent the signal. Dr. Ramachandran scientifically proves my crude example. He explains how a sedated arm on arbitrary person X, no longer sends reception to the brain due to sedation. However, when person X sees an external person Y be pricked on the mirroring arm, person Xs' brain Feels it! This development of our brain has recently been explained by Neuroscience and is a Luxury worth understanding. I always wondered why so many good ideas came to mind around strong academics. Or why the saying great minds think alike. We'll now we have an idea. I hope you enjoyed.
