I think Thursday's discussion was really interesting. While playing the illusion games, I deeply believe how powerful and clever the unconscious part of our brain is. I think that these games let me have a better idea of how our brains function. Thursday's discussion really raised my interest in our unconscious mind. I think it is really difficult to study our unconsciousness. I still believe that there is a limitation to use our brain itself to study brain. Moreover, I am still not convinced that we are able to study the unconscious part of our brain, since this is the part of the brain that gives rise to a collection of mental phenomena( unconscious feelings, unconscious or automatic skills, unnoticed perceptions, unconscious thoughts)that manifest in our mind but which we are not aware of at the time of their occurrence. If we human beings are not even aware of the presence of unconsciousness when it works in our brain to give us intuitive thoughts, how can we study how it works? Hence, I still think it is unjustified to study unconsciousness by the conscious part of our brain. Even though scientists are able to give very logical reasons to explain how brain functions, all the seemingly logical explanations are just stories to me. I am still quite confused about how scientists study the unconscious part of our human brain. I guess that scientists use the conscious part of their brain to study other people's unconscious mind. Am I correct?
