The author recounts their coronectomy experience and the intriguing phenomenon of being lucid but not having short-term memory post-surgery. Despite this memory impairment, the author demonstrates cognitive abilities by performing math and word puzzles while still under the influence of anesthesia. They question their determinism and plan future experiments to test their memory and cognitive function further. Additionally, a friend shares a unique experiment of implanting false memories to test against memory loss. The post-surgery discovery of a dentigerous cyst, rather than a more serious condition, brings relief. The author seeks suggestions for more experiments, eager to delve into the complexity of memory and cognition.
