The Craziness of the Brain

[hisoe]

It's not that often that studying inspires me to write about it. Well at least outside of the realm of complaining/feeling guilty for not doing enough of it. But I've been reading articles for my cognitive psychology paper and I have to say, some of this stuff is so out there it boggles my brain. Lesions in the brain can cause things so far beyond

I know dude! That hat/wife thing could be object recognition. Some people (after brain lesions) can't recognise objects. They can see them, they can interact with them, they can even describe them, but they can't say what they are. But I'm not sure, the fucked-up things that can happen appear infinite.
