Science Interest?

Learning about the brain has sparked an interest that I thought I never had.

When I was in HS my teacher told me that the reason one feels deja-vu is because your brain has an overload and it confuses the present with the past so the feeling of "oh, i have done this before" is nothing spiritual or anything to do with reincarnation because it is your brain having an overload.

 

When I first found this out I was so excited  I told everyone. 

But what we talked about on Thursday was a real brain "f*&^"

thinking that everything around you can be a figment of your imagination can really cause problms to your reality.

I remember I asked if we can just fix the problem with the disease that prevents you from seeing faces, but Paul said which reality is the true reality.

 

Now that I think of I think a true reality is the one that most believe in. It might not actually be the absolute reality but it is one. I think whatever reality you think is true should be the one you live by. Also if that man received a fracture and something became different from his head we should ask if he wants to see his mom again and help him fix that problem. If he says no then we leave him to his own reality.

 

I don't know if there is a cure for any of these problems, but how difficult is it to fix the problem. If we know the cause for certain problems in the brain then shouldn't we be close to what the solution is. How come we can't just fix the brain injury?
