sleep paralysis and cables

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 11:23am.

Nice connection. Quadriplegia can be understood in terms of trauma that cuts "cables", but its very much worth beginning to catalogue phenomena that might sense in term of cables tht are either normally missing or are reversibly inactivatable.

For more on sleep paralysis itself (which we'll return to later in the course), see Sleep Paralysis: Awake but Still Asleep, Mismatch Between Brain's Expectation and Sensory Input, and REM and the I-Function, and readers' comments following those student papers.
