Part of how morphing works
« on: August 14, 2009, 10:12:04 PM »
Okay after stating my last post I would like to state my theory on how a body can be controlled. The brain is connected to the animal nervous system from Z-space this leaves the origional coniousness in tact while keeping the animal's instincts still accessable. As the animal's brain is created purley from DNA it possesses only insticts and prexeisting genetic factors. So under this theory a person with... lets say... down sydrome when used as a morph would still possess... a below average inteligence (keep in mind this is only an example. I deeply apolgise for any offense on my part) while the morph of someone with agoraphobia, or arachnaphobia will not possess any of these conditions.

The thing with morphing is that it puts your brain on two inteligence levels one of yourself and one of the morph. So in the book where the buffalo gains the ability to morph it gains slight inteligence through access to the human brain.

Post your thoughts if you would like to add to this theory or state alternate ones.

i dont see how morphing someone with down syndrome would leave them with below average intelligence when morphing animals leaves their intelligence intact.

Right.  To give a pretty clear example only a few terrestrial taxa are capable of understanding complex vocalizations: birds, apes, whales.  This doesn't stop the Animorphs from being able to understand human speech even while morphed roaches.

I always assumed they discerned human speech via viabrations in the ground and not actual audiotory imput -- remember, in #6 they had to learn how to do this. . . . I'll shut up now.

Well, yeah, but there's no way a ****roach brain is capable of doing the sort of audio-processing that birds and humans do.

Right, that but a human brain can, so if your brain is still connected through Z-space, your brain could translate the vibrations. It would be like hooking two CPUs to one computer mother board. Both CPUs take certain jobs, and can switch between those jobs, so the animal cerebellum and medulla oblongata continue to work, and the human cerebrum takes over with small input from the animal cerebrum.

It's the same way Tobias was able to get lost in the hawk's mind. He stopped using his own cerebrum, and let the animal's take over.
