One thing is abundandly clear, when you disconnect the spinal cord the brain doesnot receive neural information from the rest of the body.
In a house it is the main breaker . Throw the breaker and the house goes dark.
The sensory organs like eyes and ears can also be damaged outside the brain itself, as is demonstrated with color blindness and deafness.
The reactions of colorblind people who âseeâ color for the first time is revealing of the level of isolation from reality when unable to experience color as we take so granted. Monochromacy is a total absence of color experience and the world is like a black and white movie.
Think about it. Isolated from the millions of colors that allow us to appreciate paintings.
Total deafness that separates us from sound and music.
That moment of discovery! From total silence to sound!
