Next question: is it possible to split consciousness at all?
- rixed 10y agoYou mean, between several "individuals"?
- praptak 10y agoSimilar question - how can an observer discern two consciousnesses that communicate somewhat (like two people talking to each other) from a single consciousness?

- randcraw 10y agoFabulous question. I believe not. The only mammalian model that makes sense to me requires there to be only ONE point of central executive in the brain. If more than one could arise, you'd have chaos. All coordination of bilateral activity would be impossible, much less the initiation of action or a chain of perceptual focus or cognitive reasoning. With all animals above worms having bilateral symmetry, the introduction of one side becoming dominant must have ocurred very early in evolution. Thus ALL species with any cortex at all must have circuitry that prevents the bigger parts the nervous system from becoming fully decoupled and 'going' rogue.
