Hi Roger,
Did you mean to write something in your e-mail? I didn't see anything
in your reply besides "hi Jason Resch" and your woodey Allen quote.

You might cite blund sighr as a counter example, but actually i
think it is evidence of modularity if mind. Those with blind
sight appear to have a disconnect between the visual processing
parts of their brain and others. For example, they may still have
reflexes, like the ability to avoid obsticles or catch a thrown
ball, but the language center of their brain is disconnected, and
so the part of the brain that talks says it can't see.
I agree. But it raises a question about the woman who feels
pain but doesn't care. Who is it that doesn't care?
Obviously the conscious person who tells you they don't care.
But is there another, inarticulate person who feels the pain? or
does care?
Brent,
Good question, and a scary thought.
I think this might be likely in the case of a fully split brain, but
correspondingly less likely the smaller the isolated (disconnected)
part of the brain is.
Unconsciousness under anesthesia results from brain regions becoming
isolated from each other. Maybe they are still conscious but cut
off from the memory, motion control, and speaking areas, so we have
no evidence of the consciousness of the sub-regions.
