Suppose your brain contained identical parallel circuits A and B, tied together at input and output, which could be switched on and off independently of each other. It would be difficult to do with biological tissue due to chaotic internal processes but more straightforward if you consider a digital implant. Obviously, if you switch A and B off together you will lose all the functionality of the circuitry. But if you switch off either A or B, you will notice no change. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Stathis Papaioannou</span></div></div>
