The premise of Dystopian scientific series of Dan Erikson's "North" is a novel and intriguing. The main characters in the show work for a mysterious corporation called Lumon, which perfected a new type of brain implantation that offers its employees the perfect balance of work/life. When Lumon employees drive a lift to their office, a computer chip in their brains activates and deletes all their memories from the outside world. When they are in the office, they only know the office. Then, at 5 pm when they leave the building, the chip is back, returning their memories from the outside world, but suppresses all the memories of their work day.

Another wrinkles: Lumon is so enigmatic and mysterious that they do not allow their office workers to know anything about their external alone, or their "connections". To maintain loyalty, "Innies" are told fantastic stories about their "top" that are safely not true. What does Lumon do? Why do they play these strange memory games with their employees? The mysteries of "cutting off" are huge and deep and have been explored through the two seasons of the show.

The questions are immediately tantalized, and "separation" has become the only most watched show in Apple TV+ history because of his premise and its surreal mysteries (why lumin raises goats?). Another question arises: is it even possible? Is there a way to "exclude" memories in a human brain that does not include trauma to blunt force? Is there a way to undermine the whole person of a person and replace himself with a taboo race, just to return that person later?

People in the conversation I looked at it a little.

In the talk article, he pointed out that some kind of epilepsy surgery, a pioneer in the 1940s, had doctors to literally cut off the left and right cerebrab of the patient in unattainable halves. After surgery, the separate halves of the brain's brain were then able to process information independently of each other. This did not mean that patients necessarily developed two separate figures with two separate memory sets, but that means that may be possible. Indeed, Some studies on the "split brain" phenomenon It began to appear in the 1970s for people who turned between two groups of memories. Of course, these studies were examining what happened when both contrasting halves of a patient with a split were active at the same time. One "half" would answer the speech, while the other would answer in writing, and the answers were different.

The article on the conversation goes deep into specific cases studies, and the details are fascinating, but not as we are witnessing "cutting off". In real life, patients with brain splitting can remember certain things when reading and writing, but other things when talking. The left brain does not know what the right hand is doing, so to speak.

Instead, the "cutting off" procedure can be adhering to the brain hippocampus for artificial stimulation of the effect of splitting, but this time with all the skills of reading and writing left unchanged in both halves of the brain. As we all remember from the biology of high school students, the hippocampus is part of the brain that shares one's memories of the day up in "episodes of easily understood". Quibis, if desired. You can forget the small details from Quibi to Quibi, but you always remember the whole bow of your day.

When you enter a new room, a new Quibi begins, and your brain "forgets" what happened in the previous episode because it shoots a new one. Brain chips in "separation" can very well continue that forgetfulness, allowing the Lumon employee to forget everything about what came before the moment she stepped into the elevator. The fantastic element of the "cutting off" chips is that they also seem to work in another way, deleting the workday when you leave the office ... and then you will return the first set of memories. The interaction within the hippocampus does not work that way, and the "cut off" part of the brain cannot be "cut back" as it was. After watching Quibi, it's permanent.

Also, on "cutting off", the "Incts" have new sets of memories and acquired skills all of their. The main characters (played by Adam Scott, Brit Dolna, Zack Cherry and Johnon Turturo) work in the "Macro Refining" department, a skill they do not know in their external lives. They know everything about the rituals and history of Lumon from within. Hippocampus can be reset every time you enter the room, but the skills and long -term memories will be held around. Brain chips "cut off" clearly do something much more than dividing the two halves of the brain.

It has also been established throughout the "severance" that the chips of the brain do not depend on walking through the doors or to be in Lumon's offices. Lumon's managers, in fact, have the ability to roll over and exclude whim chips, allowing the "Injinja" to walk out and vice versa. So, this happens much more than to use the brain. The chips turn back and forth between two groups of memories that are alternately suppressed. Since the "inns" and "dares" have different memories and skills, they have different personalities. And this, we must admit, is things of science fiction.

But very good science fiction. Season 3 is coming. Get excitement.
