Explain the virtual Stimulation Theory of Consciousness.
1. Within the film Brain Burn it explains virtual simulation theory of consciousness shows the different ways our brain thinks of things to the most effective way of our advantage. The video Brain Burn explains the way our brains come with several ideas that verify the out comes while not really doing that action or being aware. This helps one as a result of it offering humans the most effective result and also the best things to try and do while not pain ourselves within the method. The virtual simulation theory of consciousness will be viewed as a thinking processes our brain uses to consider the most effective outcome. As declared within the book “Universe App” by Lane “Consciousness is a fantastic virtual simulator and because of its inclusivity and insular engineering it has an inherent tendency to believe its own machinations as an exterior to itself and not as the byproduct of its interiority” (Lane 75). This book explains the way consciousness works as a virtual simulation, it's the most effective thing we can possibly have in our body, which differs us from animals. When a problem comes up our brain automatically thinks of many ways to come up with solutions. Many ideas come to mind when a problem is brought upon us and there are many ways to solve it like I stated earlier, but it shows how differently we can also understand things in the place we are.
How does the brain trick us and for what benefit is it for our genetic survival?
David Lane writes “The brain tricks us into believing something to be real when it is not, provided that such trickery provides with a survival advantage” (Cerebral Mirage 18). Here lane tries to explain to us that our brain works in miraculous ways, it keeps us alert when it is unsure of a situation in order for us to stay safe. For example, if one was abandoned in in a dark forest, and hears or sees something moving, the brain would trigger an alert for the person to stay cautious assuming that the thing that moved is harmful. When one approaches what the brain triggered to be harmful they can realize that it was not harmful what so ever. This is brought to us by virtual simulation which creates the ideas or illusions which helps us with survival. Our brain is very complex and in ways very interesting, working it’s absolute hardest to keep us alive. Survival is the most important trait our brain decides to focus on, everything we do on a daily is based off of survival.
