The human brain is one of the most complicated scientific arts
in the world. Neuroscience technology is seemingly becoming more advanced
through robotics, but it some other cases we might becoming “slaves to
machines” Professor Vesna. This is because as machines memorization becomes
stronger ours can stay the same without noticing the lack of memorization use,
because everything seems to be at the touch of our fingertips with the Internet
and books. Another interesting aspect to look at with the brain is dreaming,
because “95 percent of what we dream is forgotten” (Professor Vesna) and one of
the main questions Professor Vesna asks is where does all of this information
go.
The unconscious brain is a mystery
to many, because what we know about the brain is only a fraction of what’s
inside. This also brings me to question what happens to the people’s brains
that are in a coma, because the body is asleep but the mind is awake. I always
wondered this because of some personal experiences that I have been apart of.
My friend’s father has been in a coma for a couple years now; it’s a very sad
circumstance that has affected many people, but one of my wonders is where does
the mind go during that stage. I guess it would be a parallel circumstance to
when we sleep, because the mind ponders with no control.
