I have selected a section of clips from an old docudrama featuring Daniel Dennett and Douglas Hofstadter. I have only uploaded that portion with Dennett in it, for all the Dennett fans on YouTube. I am pretty sure Dennett did not allow neurosurgeons to remove his brain and connect it to his body by radio transmitters. It was just a good thought experiment. But if I ever get to ask him, this is the first thing I would like to clarify. This set of clips is from the 1988 docudrama 'Victim of the Brain' that was uploaded to google video by VIRGIL.GRiffith, a graduate student in Computation and Neural Systems at Caltech. That is his website: http://virgil.gr/49 You could watch the whole docudrama at , http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8576072297424860224 It was made by Dutch director Piet Hoenderdos You may also leave user comments at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096382/ Plus there is an entry at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victim_of_the_Brain
