Thank you!

Please reply to me if they do!

I don’t deal a lot with human stuff, I mainly specialise in plants, but the brain has always fascinated me.

That barrier between unconscious and conscious processes has always been so intriguing to me.

Is this one of the reasons people like me struggle to move their hands independently of one another?

Like if I’m playing a piano, for example, my left hand cannot stray from what my dominant, right hand does. It copies it almost exactly. It takes an insane amount of conscious effort for me to move my hands independently when they’re both doing something.

Normal things are easy. I can point without pointing both my hands. But for complex tasks like this, my hands seem to become one being.

Yesss like the people with “blindsight” - a lot of people with damage to a particular area of the brain (I forgot the name of the region. I want to say occipital lobe but I don’t know for sure) were consciously blind, but their brain could “see” what they couldn’t unconsciously. We then figured out this part of the brain was like the middleman between the eyes and your conscious self, IIRC.

Absolutely crazy to me. Imagine that. You can’t see anything, but you can TELL something is there. You know how it’s moving. You know how close it is to you. You know how it makes you feel, but you dont know you’re seeing anything.
