Personally I thought that the topics on losing a sense and gaining another or having a “super sense” was one of great interest for me. I thought the whole idea of losing one sense meant that respecters were then turned off causing other senses to emerge was a great point and highly likely. I also liked our conversations on love just because we talked about it in a scientific manner that caused the class to really get into it and when people’s personally views were then put in the mix the discussion went even better. Our conversations on consciousness brought out many different views that I was not thinking of which helped me towards my writing of the final paper.

The three questions/topics I would like to have explored are aphasias and the broadness they cover. I know there are a lot more, though also more rare, aphasias that I think are really cool to talk about. For example there is aphasia where the individual believes they are speaking perfectly fine when in reality we cannot understand a word they are saying. Even when they try and write it comes out wrong but it seems perfectly fine to them.

Also anxiety and whether it is really something that was apart of our evolutionary process and that is why it has stuck around or whether it is a mutation. It also could be a manifestation in our minds that for some people it is kept more repressed than in others minds.

The third topic is consciousness. This topic is highly complicated and if there was discussion both on self awareness and consciousness, how they differ and how they are alike there might be some light shed on the topic.
