Hey everybody! My TF panel is
Transformation – Friday 4:30 PM
We'll be talking transformation - the idea of physically transforming. I tend to gear the discussion toward furry transformations, but all topics welcome! We've discussed hypnotism, transgender, and the sociopolitical ramifications. Good times!
So, be there!
By the way, I meant to post my TF panel audio from Midwest Furfest, but I just don't have the time! Busy busy busy making pictures. Does someone want to take the audio off of me, edit it to remove everyone's voices but mine and Tincrash's, and then send it back to me for posting?
And then do that again for this year's FCN TF panel?
Just throwing that out there. No pressure.

Yes to mind loss
Yes to keeping their mind
or Yes to mind alteration?
Let me answer you properly then...
The mind changes are up to the writer.
A transformation to the brain in real life has varying effect, but usually detrimental. You don't want to have a damaged brain. Or, a brain on drugs.
If the transformation of the body was over the whole body, then the brain would be affected, too, and the memories of the human would be lost in the new animal brain.
If the brain was preserved somewhat, the major problem would be in loss of higher functions. What separates us from animals is our prefrontal cortex. This allows us to focus on some things and ignore others. Animals don't do that: they see everything all at once and react to it all at once.
A doctor once noted that she felt she knew how animals thought because she was slightly autistic - thinking more in maps and images rather than words and plans.
