This q interesting: taken from wiki: epiphenomenalism,

Recent research on the Event Related Potential shows that concious experience does not occur until the late phase of the potential (p3 or later) that occurs 300 miliseconds or more after the event.

I imagine after a few cans of special brew you could add a few more zero's to that figure.

Well I can't even get the lid off a tin of corned beef, so I'm not going to try answering this one, but looking forward to somebody explaining what the question is?

I think event related potential is the change in the brain as a response to an event.

It's effectively saying that there's a 300ms delay between a sensory input and the brain registering it.

I don't think there is a question jojo's just being silly again.

I think she accidently hit a particularly deep area last time in the connection between perception and reality (trees falling in forests etc.) and is trying again

I was wondering if/and or/when how/who in the continuum of jo/jos questions, whether an actual/or otherwise question or hypothetical propositioning ever makes sense or is just a juxtaposition or indeed divergence from rational and logical �plain English�.

Or it just me?

Question Author

the idea of concious experience and its occurence . just wondered about its idea, apologies if it is silly.

Octavius

No not really, just didn�t �get� the question, or whether there even was one. Maybe some simplistic questioning on high ideals is the way forward.

Question Author

are high ideals not ultimately attained through simplistic suggestion?

Octavius

Depends what you are suggestion and to whom.

Question Author

not not necessarily meant from a narrow perspective i.e personal but from also a wider outlook too (does eveything ultimately stem from suggestion?)

.... but the problem is, what if the key becomes unravelled from the metal strip, and the potatoes are boiling away, and the sharp edge of the corned beef tin cuts my thumb, and the meat is still stuck inside the tin, and the kids are waiting to be fed, well, is it hot dogs or what?
