(9:06) Our experiences are constantly changing our neural connections, physically altering the parallel system that is our consciousness. Direct modification of this can have surreal consequences that bring into question what and where consciousness really is.



If your left cerebral hemisphere were to be disconnected from the right, as is the case in split brain patients you would normally be able to talk and think from the left hemisphere, while your right hemisphere would have very limited cognitive capacities.



Your left brain will not miss the right part even though this profoundly changes your perception. One consequence of this is that you can no longer describe the right half or someone’s face but you will never mention it. You will never see it as a problem or even realise that something has changed.



Since this effects more than just your perception of the real world and also applies to your mental images it is not just a sensory problem but a fundamental change in your consciousness.
