@stepagain There has been many test along the lines of this, done before you were even born. The Salk institute is a private, non profit organization who receives its funding from, private foundations (Sloan), and grants. If you feel that a large portion of your taxes are being sent to the Salk institute alone, then you might want to research that. If you want to attack people for wasting your taxes, then you should go attack government funded Pseudo-scientific practices, such as homeopathy.

a youtube video does not give the correct framerate for viewing that experiement. thats probably why it doesnt work for some.

[stepagain]

thats crap! that man is just wasting our taxes

But if there's no region in the brain where the neural signals all come together, then there would be no where in the brain that would benefit from neural signals being bound together temporally. (cont.)...

[nspeert]

...(cont.) it seems to stand to reason that the brain would represent time temporally, but the very nature of a representation is a medium in which the value of representation differs from the value being represented. For example, motion in the world isn't represented by way of motion in the brain, so similarly there's no reason to suspect that time in the world is represented by time in the brain.

i dont think so

[Chapa7ld]

I saw the flash right in the middle tho.

[requiemdexter]

I suspect he meant it as a relative term.
