  • What would you do if one day you woke up, and you found out your brain was removed from your body and is now in a jar? How would you survive like this? How would you not go insane? And how would your brain change being left like this?

    I imagine my brain would have similar effects to psychedelics.
    Sensory deprivation isolation chambers would be the closest thing to this we have nowadays.

      Even then it’s worse since you can at least feel gravity in a gravity deprivation chamber.

    I'm making a sci-fi story with a character whose brain was taken out and kept alive for years. It'd be used to operate organic "vessels" without having the host die whenever one gets destroyed. But I was wondering what would actually happen to a human brain if it wasn't connected to anything. How would it feel to the person coming back to a body that isn't his. How long would it take to get used to it and how would his personality be affected. Glad you made this video, it goes around what I thought the main issues would be.
    But I have to wonder, would the brain sleep? Would the person deprived of any sensation go to sleep or be in a somewhat permanent state of dreaming. How would they know when they're consciously awake? What would dreams be like if the brain has no real new memory?

    So, your brain would receive no new stimulus, but the recombinant synthesis of all its prior stimulus is still a lot of possibility space. For every stimulus you had before being put in a jar, the options scale factorially. I wonder what the minimum amount of experience to draw upon would be to stave off insanity.

    You wouldn't even have emotions. Think about it, emotions are a physical response to the thoughts in your mind. You would have the thought but you wouldn't even be able to feel a response to it. The good news is there will be no sense of pain either physically or emotionally. Unfortunately this means you have nothing, not even sadness or happiness, it is a complete void. Just thoughts, you couldn't even go crazy, there's absolutely nothing. You don't get tired there's no rest, but your not awake. You would eventually enter a dream state. Your thoughts would become your reality, you'd be in a dream until they decide to turn you off. And when that happens you would have no idea it ever did. Your not asleep or awake, your not alive or dead, the shade of black doesn't even exist. Darkness is a concept of the living world, this is something different, there is no death, no life, there's nothing at all.

    Wouldn't one feel constant pain because the brain is not receiving signals from the lungs and it's breathing, nor the heart and it's beating, neither the stomach and eating? Basically the pain of being suffocated and have a heart attack and being starving at the same time?

    • @stanleybowman-hood6194
      @stanleybowman-hood6194 3 года назад

      No the suffocating feeling is from co2 in blood and starving and heart attack is caused from organs being there so no input and no pain

    • @vecstrandedonabarrenplanet7343
      @vecstrandedonabarrenplanet7343 3 года назад +1

      @@stanleybowman-hood6194 Yes, there is no input from the organs. However, the brain may then experience something similar to phantom limb pain, or in this case phantom organ pain. Such that, the absence of the heart may induce the feeling of cardiac arrest, or angina, or maybe even shock/coma over extended time.

    I would assume sensory deprivation due to some condition or injury. I would not assume my brain was living in a jar. That may be possible someday but is unlikely. I suppose your brain would start to imagine things and produce its own sensory input to stay alive. You might live an imaginary life until the end.
