I\'ve already seen that somewhere before, could you please stay on topic?

how exactly is it you control your brain? It would seem impossible since it is the brain that controls all function.
the reason why humans are all different is that no 2 brains are exactly the same. The reason that no 2 brains are exactly the same is, because they all exist in different places, interacting with different things.
The way you\'re saying it is as if the brain is a whole seperate part of the body,..... like our conciousness is lying dormant until the brain itself(which is functioning on it\'s own) gives the rest of the body directions and actions to take...that\'s not the case at all, the brain is not "thinking" for us..it is not giving us instructions...we are in total control of everything that we do...the brain is a part of us as a whole....

OMG! Check this out!
I watched it again and the best part of the video is the camera guy took him down and he still had the camera in his hand.

I´ll ask the question again then: how do you control your brain?

That is a tough question. You stumped me. Still don\'t believe what you\'re saying though but I will definitely think about it when I\'m at class tonight.

sometimes you can\'t. Hence why the majority of murders are on the fly and unplanned. But you\'re able to think about the situation, and stop. You can\'t control your thoughts very easily, but you can control actions. And once you control that action, you control your brain. Only way i can think of to control thoughts is to become ignorant of something so you cant think of it..

that doesn\'t answer my question, I\'m asking HOW you control it. Your saying you can control action, but what controls it? is it not the brain?
also none of the above disproves my claim that every action your brain takes is a predetermined one...
Every action your brain takes is not predetermined. Every action you do happens inside the brain, yes. But not everything is predictable like your salt example. There is unpredictability with human decision-making, but it still all happens in the brain. Just because everything happens in the brain doesn\'t mean all your actions are predictable. It just means your brain is...well...working.

I have to agree with Evi on this. Your brain works like a computer. It uses circuitry through use of electricity. You can control your own brain. It is that complex. I don\'t believe life or anything for that matter is predetermined unless man does it himself.

you haven\'t said how we don\'t. I could say, we create the chemical reaction that makes our brains do certain things. As infants we learn to control these chemicals and develop our brain as we grow. That doesn\'t mean its right.
I can say however, that scientists have done studies to people where they\'ve played around with peoples brains to stimulate certain parts of the body to see how long it takes people to feel anything. Then they play with that part of the body directly.
Guess which one people feel quicker, people feel the direct touch faster then the brain itself. It\'s quite interesting, they even had cases when people felt things before they were even touched. The brain is a complex thing, our understanding of it is extremely small. I personally believe we have a "soul" so to speak that controls everything. Problem is when our brain gets damaged this control gets screwed up and translated back to our bodies wrong.
I also believe in leprechauns and fairies.
