I don’t think I like the idea of the I-box as a physical part of your brain. That idea seems far to static to me for something as complex as our brain. However, I do like the idea of a shifting, summation of properties of the neural pathways in the brain. I may have posted this before, but in some cases of multiple personality disorder one personality will have diabetes and the other won’t. What is happening with the I-box in this case? This transformation of body, if what we said in class is true, must in some way be linked with the so called I-box. And if the body is morphing so much is the I-box changing as well? I don’t think so. Although there is some change in the brain activity between two different personalities, there is no change of structure (the brain doesn’t morph, then change back). I think that however this I-box manifests itself, it is an integration of way that the other boxes work together, not necessarily a commanding force. And, for whatever reason, it can change and cause changes in personality and even body (for more on this subject read my web paper).
