THE MENTAL TRANSCEIVER

By Norman McCormack

Like other communications systems, our brains receive and transmit messages. As is the case with any transceiver, the human brain contains many electrical circuits—each devoted to a particular task or set of tasks. How clearly messages are received and sent out depends on how well our brain circuitry works. Disruptions (e.g. open circuits, short circuits, power fluctuations) interfere with both reception and transmission—in other words messages get garbled.

Unlike man-made transceivers, our brain circuitry does not rely on transformers, diodes, resistors and the like. The flow of electricity is modulated by chemicals called neurotransmitters. If the actions of these chemicals are disturbed, the electrical signal—the message—is interrupted.
