As another example, instead of a dog imagine your sensory input was remotely connected to someone else's body X, and to make it easier, imagine you have control over X's motor functions and no prior memory. Where would you believe the thoughts you're experiencing are occurring, in your physical brain or halfway across the country in X's head?
