Our BRAIN can do amazing things and we can do amazing things because of our BRAIN.. For example,, we can accept light along the visible wavelength reflected from objects in our environment into our eyes.. Our optical nerves convert the light into electro chemical impulses,, which is the language the BRAIN uses to communicate.. As this signals passes along a neural network,, it reaches the region of the BRAIN responsible for analyzing and categorizing these impulses called hippocampus..

These categories determine which region of the BRAIN receives the signals routed by the hippocampus.. So,, a signal sent to the visual cortex suddenly becomes a large green metal road sign that we understand as our exit..

Even the most mundane operations of our BRAIN are pretty amazing.. Those feats,, however,, are nothing compared to some of the things that a small handful of people's brains have done.. What follows,, in no particular order,, is a tidy list of some of the most amazing -- and horrible -- things that our BRAIN have ever done..
