I don't believe in Ghosts but I have seen one.

RE: I don't believe in Ghosts but I have seen one.
Phil, according to Wiki the brainstem is responsible for bottom-up attention. I don't know if I should trust it though, there's only 26 credible sources on the page. Wink

"The first aspect is called bottom-up processing, also known as stimulus-driven attention or exogenous attention. These describe attentional processing which is driven by the properties of the objects themselves. Some processes, such as motion or a sudden loud noise, can attract our attention in a pre-conscious, or non-volitional way. We attend to them whether we want to or not.[16] These aspects of attention are thought to involve parietal and temporal cortices, as well as the brainstem[17]."

I don't really see where you're going with that as he has no ability to reason with what is "attracting his attention in a pre-conscious" way.
Just an fyi, I am at work and will be afk shortly so expect a slight delay on further responses.
