    ugh.. my bad, I misunderstood the post you made.. yes I'm a noob, and I can't get the system to let me edit OR delete my previous message.

  2. Re:The problem of nerve impulse conduction on An Alternate Human · · Score: 1

    Our vision is ALREADY on a separate "bus" -- the optic nerve has its own signal conduction system, totally separate from the spinal cord, that doesn't go to the brain stem at all. It DOES go to the thalamus and hypothalamus, where emotional context, memory fetches (object recognition.. things and faces, language, that sort of thing), all gets processed or routed, and then gets shunted back for enhancement and edge recognition. You, sort of need.. all of those things. Though, I admit, the human thalamus is a bit shy on the processing power.. giving it a bit more muscle would mean no more PTSD (technically, emotional trauma is when that system "crashes".. and as often and as easily as it BSOD's, you would think it was designed by Bill Gates). There is a big difference between antiquated, and layered.
