The concept that I received from the video is that each individual's brain, when experiencing the same sensation that end at a similar conclusion , creates different neurological connection paths. That even genetically identical organisms, twins or clones, create different connections. Our the possible trails for connections are firstly decided anatomically, secondly through the experiences of infancy and as time progresses the other possible trails of connection that are not used are then no longer available for use.
What came to my mind almost immediately was dissociative identity disorder (DID) or multiple personality disorder. Since every individual has different trail in which different neurons connect how would the path of an individual with DID appear from one personality to another. Would the different personalities each have their own distinct trails as if they where completely different people. Or because they share the same physical brain would the paths be the same?
