How would a disembodied brain even be capable of being “aware of its surroundings” without any sensory information?

- Razengan 9y agoSome sense of touch/pressure/temperature as the skin does, perhaps? Consider how we can feel physical sensations in dreams without any physical source, or “phantom limbs” that amputees are sometimes said to feel.
- digi_owl 9y agoThat is not being aware, that is the brain making stuff up from noise.
- swiley 9y agoHuman brains can’t sense any of that, idk about pig brains.
- ghkbrew 9y agoFun fact: the retina and optic nerve are outgrowths of the developing brain, and commonly considered part of it. So technically a bare brain can see.
