Since as you had said that eyes are each a "brain", how do I use that knowledge in self-protection or martial arts combat? Would that mean I can respond to a sudden attack faster than if the eyes are not each a "brain"? What about the flinch reflex? Is the flinch reflex any faster for a visual stimulus than for an auditory stumulus, as the research on the flinch reflex commonly applies to an auditory stimulus? Does the flinch reflex always come from electrical signals coming from the same place -- the brainstem? In any case, what if anything is different between the physiological and mental response to different pathways of stimuli, whether they be auditory, visual, or any other venues of stimuli that illicit a response to an attack to a person?
Not for an AMA, but a topic that may be covered by an expert guest: things that can go wrong with the very end of our digestive system. A topic that makes people seriously anxious, even depressed, yet rarely is shared with family, friends, even doctors. Hemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas, itching, pain, bleeding, prolapsed mucosa, skin tags... causes, effect of stress on the development of aggravation, prevention, DIY remedies, medical procedures, risks and benefits... Thanks for considering!
