My shitpost is that they're lucky they didn't trigger a buffer overflow :-) but really, it doesn't seem completely out of question to me that it's possible that some unintended and serious consequence could occur from your brain receiving some stimulus that it doesn't naturally receive. I guess maybe there's no biological analog, but obviously bad things can happen in circuits, computers, etc., when this happens.

- braingravy 2y agoThe brain is remarkably resilient to that type of issue… Temporary buffer overflow (if you like) can be easily induced and observed with chemicals that modify function at the receptor level; Psychedelics being a classic example. (Worth noting there are many such chemicals used in medicine and research that induce overflow in function besides perception.) What I find fascinating is the neurological resilience that can be observed at cellular and behavioral levels to bounce back after an event like that. Non-chemical interventions, like adaption wearing special glasses that flip vision(1), are quickly accounted for by a healthy brain. 1:https://www.npr.org/2012/12/14/167255705/a-view-from-the-flip-side https://www.npr.org/2012/12/14/167255705/a-view-from-the-fli...
