Neural system converter
More actions
We can imagine connecting the nervous system (not including the brain) of a different animal to that of a human brain. The first problem is that the number of incoming neurons is not likely to be the same as the number of incoming connections that are in the brain so which one do you connect up if you want there to be a human experiencing what it is like have an animal's body? There is no clear map on how to connect the nervous system of the animal to the brain of the human. So where do you connect each incoming neuron to? There are a very large amount of possible combination connections. There are however solutions such as there being types of neurons that should be conected to certain areas of the brain like neurons form the right arm should go where they usually connect onto the human brain for the right arm of the human.
Neural system converter is the concept that incoming neuron signals can be converted to a better form for the human brain to process. It could also be made to begin with regular human body type sensepath and gradually change to one or more different types of animal body sensepaths. There would not have to be the relearning of body skills like moving body parts. There are numerous possibilities and many different types of neural system converters. A neural system converter could be biological or electronic or both.
Awaretheory is not suggesting that this should actually happen. What awaretheory is suggesting is that there can be all sorts of different awarepaths for each ixperiencitness that can exist that can experience having different human bodies and different types of bodies. They can be created in an awarepaducer that has none of the problems of connecting a real animal body to a human brain. Whether we ever want to do this or can technological do it is something that we can decide when we know more of the consequences to the awarepath. It might be possible that there can be many positive awarepaths (awarepath that you want to experience) like these. Imagine flying like a bird, or seeing (hearing) like a bat does with sonar, swimming like a shark or dolphin. They are, nonetheless, part of the potential you.
