Not sure why you think that folks may not be getting here… You obviously have several plugins that are running that are pushing out ping information to sites, I am guessing google SEO stuff (getting it in search engines automagically), and not to mention it open and the sign says on even if you have not advertised elsehwere…. And speaking of which – how many plugins do you have on here? I should log out and leave this anon, but I really don’t care… and what is that captcha crap…. hard to read when you have been drinking…

Thanks.. this is exactly the type of discussion I hope to stimulate with this site. I’m not sure how you found it… I haven’t gone public yet. BTW, I still think it is highly unlikely that they would be able to find a tumor that didn’t show up in an earlier MRI by isolating the increased brain activity from the tumor.

You are right, you are not a brain surgeon or in the medical field. I will say this…… they were not trying to track Issy’s thoughts, they were trying to track her hallucination. She would see Denny but was still able to know he was not truly there. There is much we do not understand about the brain, but there is still a lot we do. Researchers have found where certain emotions originate from too.You are right about Izzy being under stress and that does show up too, but they were watching the image BEFORE the hallucination started and was able to pinpoint the new area of activity after it started. From there they can get a better understanding of where the pressure is from the tumor and go from there. Brain injuries can not \repair\ themselves, rather they re route themselves. If an area is damaged, it pulls from another area to get the job done. But there is still permanent damage with TMI’s. Damage that is long-term and that will never be repaired. If you research serial killers, in many cases you will find that the killer had frontal lobe damage at some point. That person has forever lost their ability to have a conscience, the ability to reason (cause and effect), and things of that nature. That is never repaired. Here is a relatively new concept, researchers have now linked brain activity with being honest and not. I am sure this will soon prove to be a valuable tool in court cases sooner than we realize.
