Can you "feel" which part of your brain you use to

Post Reply New Topic

I know his is really left field , but I am beginning to take note of what part of my brain I "feel" I am using when I do certain things. I feel as though geographically different actions and thoughts come from different areas of my brain and I notice for example when I type my focus comes from the front of my brain above my left eye.(anatomically speaking)
Has anyone else ever noticed anything like this and if so what areas are you " feeling" you are using during specific tasks?

Yes, sometimes I can feel/certain instruments when I listen to music through head phones, and feel colours in different parts of one side of ny head.

Well, I tend to have some feel for the flow of chemicals throughout my body, actually. You can't really detect what any given part of the brain is doing and when, actually, but you can detect some chemical fluctuations in your blood vessels, usually, as long as there are nerves in the region capable of picking up on it. It works more or less along the lines of a migrain, just without the pain. I imagine that, when you're engaging an area in a certain way, there's a minor serotonin or catecholamine dump.

I'm also sure you could learn how to make an accurate guess as to what your brain is doing and when, to some extent, if you were to hook yourself up to an EEG machine or something and watch what it does when you're performing a specific task or experiencing a certain emotion. Really, I might try to convince somebody to invent a cheap, compact EEG machine that can be implanted in the skin at birth and jacked directly into the visual cortex, so people can learn how to keep track of their mental state and know when or if something's wrong. Heh. That would be cool.

I tend to be more aware of the changes in my body as a whole, perhaps because I like to read about a variety of medical topics.

i cant feel anything girls!

Yes. It's kinda like I feel a slight tightness deep deep inside of my head.

Yep. Sometimes, for example, when I'm writing with my right hand, I can feel electricity going up thru my fingers, up my hand, up my arm, diagonally across the back of my neck and to the inside of the center of the left side of my brain. When I smell something noxious, like gasoline, I also feel my brain cells dying sometimes.
