I have selected a section of clips from an old docudrama featuring Daniel Dennett and Douglas Hofstadter. I have only uploaded that portion with Dennett in it, for all the Dennett fans on YouTube. I am pretty sure Dennett did not allow neurosurgeons to remove his brain and connect it to his body by radio transmitters. It was just a good thought experiment. But if I ever get to ask him, this is the first thing I would like to clarify.

This set of clips is from the 1988 docudrama 'Victim of the Brain' that was uploaded to google video by VIRGIL.GRiffith, a graduate student in Computation and Neural Systems at Caltech. That is his website:
