THE SILENT BIOMEDICAL OTHERS: INTIMACY, COMMUNICATION, AND NEUROLOGICAL QUEERNESS

Micro-gestures require special hermeneutic efforts, which are often discarded in evidence-based medicine. [...]I declare giving voice to biomedical others as an ethical task of this essay. The severe realization of philosophical intuition about the redundancy and uselessness of the body is the scientific model of the mind, claiming it to be an exhaustive scientific explanation of the soul. To determine the point of intersection of abstract cognitive processes of the human species, we must not center them on consciousness and experience, culture, or artifacts. The subjective experience of being present is predetermined by functional factors, such as the number and accuracy of input and output channels, the ability to modify the virtual environment, and the level of social interactivity-the ability to be recognized by others as a person in the virtual world.
