TED-ED: Are you a body with a mind or a mind with a body? - Maryam Alimardani

The video explores the mind-body relationship, starting with the rubber hand illusion, which demonstrates how our perception of self can be easily manipulated. It delves into philosophical perspectives, including Descartes' dualism, and contrasts them with modern scientific views that see the mind and body as deeply integrated. The discussion extends to future technologies like neural prosthetics and mind uploading, questioning the possibility of consciousness without a physical body. The video concludes by pondering the nature of self and consciousness.
