The brain

[I_am_not_mafia]

I and a whole crap load of other scientist disagree including tesla edison and einstein.. I know those guys are all old but the proof is in the puddn' jerogie..

Unsubstantiated claim.

Now from an engineering perspective no other 'proof is needed.' 

IF ifact this kid can control this car by wearing a head set designed to pick up externally transmitted brain activity the your argument is moot.

If the brain is self contained then why does it transmit electrical commands through the skull?

Oh fuck where do I even start with this. You are so wrong I am really struggling to come up with an analogy to show just how wrong you actually are.

I know that the entire world works by magic according to your world view, and magic by definition is beyond explanation. But it's not magic to the people who made that toy car to respond to electromagnetic waves given off by the brain.

What to you is a 'signal' is not some intelligently designed wizard's spell. It's just a fluctuation in the electromagnetic field. Neurons are capacitors that spike when they reach a certain voltage threshold. They have firing rates that change over time and therefore oscillate. They therefore produce waves and these can be read as electromagnetic brain waves. You wouldn't refer to waves in the sea as complex water commands that control the environment but this is exactly what you are doing when referring to electromagnetic brain waves in this regard. If you attached a buoy to the seabed and have it do different things depending on how strong the waves were say then the waves still would not be considered commands.

The brain is part of a sensorimotor loop where sensory information comes into the brain, the brain adapts, acts within its environment and senses the changed environment. But instead of moving a muscle to change your environment, if you are hooked up to a device to read the electromagnetic brain waves given off by your brain then you can learn to adapt to change your environment that way instead.

The fact that you are ware of your 5 senses/6 means the brain also receives electrical activity.

Unsubstantiated claim.
