Sometimes I wonder what would happen if we created a dolphin with a human brain, or an octopus with a human brain, etc. Are brains plastic enough to adapt? What if after learning how to use one body, the brain was somehow transferred to / plugged into a different body? Would it be possible to learn 2 different bodies and even swap between them at will?

I think so, like cars are a fairly simple version of that. And if you’ve ever used a digger which is essentially a giant arm controlled by hydraulics
If you put on glasses that turn your vision upside down you’ll adapt to it within a week, it will literally just start looking normal to you.
I think we can quite literally adapt to fucking anything if we just do it right.
