When we discussed sleep walking we talked about how the person acts as they would if they were awake. They also have their eyes open (in most cases I'm assuming). If all this is happening isn't it safe to assume that there is some sort of input (from eyes, ears and touch) and output (walking, eating, driving, etc.)? Since I feel like there is an input and output for a person is sleepwalking I do not completely understand where all the information goes. They do not remember these nightly jaunts but they performed them, their brain was active for them, so where did the information go? Do they have an unconscious knowledge of what they did and are unable to access it? I don't entirely understand how this works when the brain is involved. It counters certain things we have already learned during the semester about the brain and its activity.
