In reply to anybody FEEL thoughts in their head?, posted by badhaircut on October 5, 2004, at 15:36:31
bhc,
Like you said, sensory doesn't happen inside the brain cavity. However, a feeling in the gut is feedback from the visceral cortex, since the image of the feeling happens in the brain. Involuntary contractions in our gut, which happen to us most often, are still generated in our "radiators" (the ancients thought all that happenned in our skulls was cooling of our hot blood).
I admit that I have never felt thinking going on. I have felt disgrace, failure, and the pangs of mortification when I did something stupid, inept, wrong, or bad. I had migraines for about five years. I wonder what was going on there. I felt like my brain was being squeezed from the center outward somehow. Glad that was a long time ago now.
I know this is sounding like a "stream-of-unconsciousness". More to the point, the brain convolutions do undulate when complex thinking is going on. Perhaps that's part of what you are refering to.
