The problem is that, though there is a lot of information and a lot of advancements continuously, the brain and consciousness is still poorly understood. Certainly neurology provides a lot of information about the parts of the brain, but as a whole, it is so complex that it may never be fully understood. Strong AI, as a result, is a fantasy of science fiction.
Electricity will obliterate all myelin in the body, which surrounds nerve cell axions to insulate them and increase the rate at which electrical impulses are passed along the axon. The purpose of myelin is to increase the speed at which electrical impulses (known as action potentials) propagate along the myelinated fiber.
IANAN, but the result of losing myelin is everything described in the article, memory problems, cognitive disfunction and pain, and unmentioned, the individual will no longer recognize sarcasm, revealing a particular type of brain damage. Patients get the same result from electro-convulsive therapy, and it is bizarre that it is still an approved treatment for depression; trades your depression for brain damage, effectively an electrical lobotomy. Anyone that experiences sufficient electric shock will also develop one of the many pain disorders, such as fibromyalgia and polymyalgia.
Losing myelin is considered permanent, but it actually will grow back, it just takes about 20 years. When it finally does grow back, the patient is bombarded with extra brain function, such as rapid thoughts and hearing voices. Without stabilizing drug therapy, this can lead to severe and lasting insomnia, which can lead to extreme sleep deprivation, which can lead to despair and suicide.
