  • Memory defines us. Memory is the basis of our sense of self. But how do the structures of the mind store memories? What changes do memories imprint on the brain? And what is the role of emotion in determining the quality of our memories? Brian Greene explores these and related questions with four top researchers--Veronica O’Keane, Tim Bredy, Gail Robinson, and Oliver Baumann-who unravel myriad mysteries of the human capacity for memory.
    This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
    The live program was presented at the 2023 World Science Festival Brisbane, hosted by the Queensland Museum.

    I remember being put in the crib during the daytime and experiencing how the sunlight was glowing an orange red color through my thin baby eyelids,, and thinking about how I was breathing.
    Later in my life I remembered that as I was starting to be able to breath through my mouth on demand, and how I could switch from using my nose and then my mouth, because there was this sensation in my nasal cavity that I was feeling and controlling.
    Many years later, I found out this only happens in about the first 9 months of life.
    I definitely remember being a baby.
    I also remember what I now can call the great forgetting period, and I sort of argued with my mother, around the age of 4, that I had a harder time remembering things from before and she told me I couldn't remember those things, and yet I described some things that I obviously still remembered, and she said, oh your just reinforcing those memories from pictures or stories, but Noooooo, I remember from inside my head and my own eyes, what I was experiencing, and pictures could only help, but not be the cause of these memories of breathing and controlling my nasal vs mouth breathing.

    Not only memories mark a section of life we lived, but emotions also do to. Emotions and mind can also write the script for your life story, and it happens quickly too. Especially when angry or in time of sadness. Once the mind is made up, and those emotions distills in us, the solutions running through our minds tend to get to the point where action is taken. It’s either good or bad, but it’s a normal process.

    Great talk, especially how the long stored memories can be affected and recorded depending on your current state or experience. Making it logical to recall unpleasant or traumatic memories in more positive or even comical light. However a specific thing here- going to an older doctor might be nice and quick but you are much more likely to get misdiagnosed, so to each their own.

    My earliest memory, ~ 2.5 yrs?, was of me in a crib (1st person; can picture the bottom of the crib set off the floor, bars, etc), and my mother leaving the room. Then shortly thereafter looking through the bars I see a spider - vague image, but lots of little legs and a body heading towards me on the floor. I scream “Mommy mommy”, freaking out, until she comes back, by which time the spider had crawled under the crib and disappeared! I am even more freaked out because I don’t know where it is, but with minimal language skills, cannot explain why I am screaming. My mother tries to convince me everything is all right, and leaves. Don’t remember much after that. Two points. (1) that was the first time (as far as I know) I saw a spider - and still I went ballistic. (2) I remember a minute or so before seeing the spider as part of the memory. This is VERY important, as it means that what was in working memory was also recorded with the memory. Without the earlier memory, you may not be able to predict a dangerous situation if it repeats. That is not relevent in this situation, but could be in may others. As for (1), a Columbian friend says he is “programmed” to react to a ball with 8 lines radiating out (symbolic of a spider) and even drawing a circle and 8 lines on a chalk board generates an adrenalin spike in him.

    Admittedly dated, but I am reading Carl Sagan’s The Dragons of Eden. He talks about the structure of our brains and speculates on the origins of the right and left hemispheres. He speculates that originally they were redundant. Doing the same thing. But as humans evolved one of the hemispheres evolved to do rational thinking. He reminds us that the Greeks used geometry, shapes to perform mathematics, using the right hemisphere of the brain long before humans used numbers using the left hemisphere. Mathematics today is taught using shapes as well as numbers integrating the right and left hemisphere’s of the brain. Maps and multiplication are still quite relevant in the opinion of this writer.

    That was incredible. I particularly liked the bit piece towards the end, where Veronica made reference to that feeling we all have on occasion - when we sense something other than ourselves (in her words, consciousness looking back at us) - because it is reminiscent of a recent talk given by two well-known Dzogchen masters during which one of them described a meditation practice where the meditator would - in effect - throw their consciousness into a corner and have it look back at them. Great discussion guys. Thank you 🙏

    Absolutely love the channel and this particular show. With this one and a few more I have noticed that towards the end, discussion reaches a point where there is no answer. I think that is where they need to have a couple of practitioners from spirituality such as vedantic scholars or monks that have done years of meditation. I love the modern science and gadgets and tests that discover new facts. The spiritualists can take it to the next level and show that it's not just that perception is reality but in fact reality is a perception.

    This is fascinating, the first time I have seen a plausible (albeit superficial) explanation for how thought and memory work. However, I do not share the idea that this is reductive, or somehow diminishes what we are.
    We are made of the elemental forces of the universe, arranged into patterns that can expirence and contemplate its very existence. Then to further know that these patterns are the result of universal causation that traces back throughout time to the very moment of creation. If you think that a better understanding of how our bodily systems work, somehow diminishes what we are, then you do not fully grasp what you are.
    Also consider that the universe appears to be (and is almost certainly), infinite. In that case every pattern will inevitably repeat, and not just once, but throughout infinity.
    This implies that the perception we are separate finite beings, is in fact an illusion. We are far more than the some of our parts, and in more ways than we can possibly imagine. If these facts don't convince you, and fill you with awe and wonder, you're not paying attention.

    "Who am I without my memory?" I said that. I woke from a SE coma with a shredded memory. Realizing I was having trouble accessing my memories was disturbing and no one could see it. I can remember Monday on Tuesday well, come Thursday I'm not gonna know. I can prime a memory with a note/picture for months and when I stop it will be swept away. I couldn't recognize my daughter, friends, boyfriend shaved his face, he looked familiar but no memory came forward. If I close my eyes and listen/ed to their voice I'm in a better position.

    Well the Irish psychiatrist mentioned about hallucinations, some people do other people do experience esoteric phenomena which is much different. Extraterrestrial abductions, ghost apparitions, smoke suddenly appearing, moving lights suddenly, the soft halo of apparent souls moving, channelers written in sleep, all these phenomena happens. I saw a body of light and I was completely awaked and I saw that Sheddims ( souls without physical body mentioned in the Kabbalah), a body just of light where the rainbow of colors swirled. This phenomena is explained in the Kabbalah. A psychiatrist have to be an objective person and allows people that have witnessed these phenomena not to become traumatized by them but on the contrary value them, enrich or strengthen by them and continue moving on ahead.

    I find it a bit perplexing that people can assume, limit, their belief to thinking what we see and know is enough to explain something like consciousness or life. What we do know, if we look from a sufficient perspective of the whole, is that life repeats on all scales in all directions, and its safe to assume that we do not know all scales. This makes it hard to think that mind, consciousness, awareness is original, and limited to and a result of the brain as we understand it, that it isn't a version of something else, like a microcosm of something fundamental. Mind as far as we know is intrinsic to everything, because we cannot know anything without it, if it is intrinsic, then as nature does it must be intrinsic on other scales. Truth is with or without understanding, our job is to find the understanding that reveals truth, and not create truths that we can understand, because our understanding is always behind.

    This was great, particularly the bit about RNA function in synaptic plasticity - perhaps this is why some instinct (learned lessons from one lifetime) can be passed to offspring. Do you think even our understanding of 3D space/shape was learned via evolution and passed on in DNA? I think some memories are triggered by what 3D shape we are currently attending to, and what shapes from memory may be similar (that there is a mechanism for triggerability via proximity/likeness in perceptual space). For example, once when attending to my torso while lying in bed, I had a memory flash of my torso while driving a Volvo, but the road going towards ceiling for torso in memory to align with torso of current attention.

I can see Dr Greene has a specific interest in this subject and I wonder, why is that?

Each crying kid was laid across her lap and whacked once, then hurried out a side door. It was 1943. My sister and I were at Angel Guardian Orphanage in Chicago while my mother was treated for TB at the TB Sanitarium. Years later figured out the whack aimed to keep kids afraid and quiet.
    It was dark and warm when Mom and Dad picked us up. He carried the baby. She had to be there, but I don't remember seeing my sister with us. We passed a streetlight that brightened the sidewalk briefly. I felt happy to be going home. We must have taken a bus. No car. Second Memory.

    35:00 - I think the expert misunderstood the question, though the answer was interesting.
    ‘How do I feel emotion attached to the partial reliving of remembered events, how is that emotion encoded?’
    It’s the reliving of the event that causes an emotional reaction, at the present time. It’s why your emotional reaction to an event can change over time (think of a bad break-up/being cheated on, and good/bad memories twisting). I think that’s important in addition to meta-encoding at the post-synaptic level (amount of dopamine vs nonciceptin).

    I am always on alert for BRIAN GREENE`s work-of-art type topics and discussions on world science festival because I learn and get fantastic insights from the top notch professors and academics about the things that I am both personally and professionally interested in.
    Perhaps, I should not say that but I feel somehow compelled to express what I was kind of given by watching this discussion that is, I think, if these discussions on World Science Festival, are not made in front of live audience, instead, if BRIAN GREENE hosts these great festivals like in the times, when he was hosting it alone sitting alone infront of windows through each of which there was a scientist speaking with BRIAN GREENE,,, it would be marvelous because only then both the host and the speakers are feeling at the best level of comfort,,,, I know.... everone who is familiar with human behaviour, consciousness and language, is certainly realized that the stage fright is present in such discussions and it also hampers the level of productivity, level of questions, better insights and so on.......... I think I have made it clearer, at least, to those who think the same and wish the same. Hopefully, this great show would be hosted in a more intimate atmosphere, not in front of a live audiance and also the audiance hampers the producivaty of such discussions too is not that so ?...... because clearly, not everbody is keen on many details and what is really going on in the discussion.....
    Best regards to all the speakers and of course to BRIAN GREENE he is a real giant in the realm of science, we are really too luck to have him among us in this era.

And actually, I have question, beside organic trauma which could affect the human memory, is that possible that the brain/memory it selves get injured by psychologic trauma? and how this could be explained through molecular basis?... Based on my own experience, huge lies impact on my memory and as consequences conflicted with the identity. And also, is that possible our memory already made before our birth? and if it is possible, how it could be?....any answer are welcomed....

    Awesome range of views. Somewhere along I imagined the " synergy" that takes form when Hydrogen and Oxygen give rise to water. I wonder if consciousness expresses it self in the synergy. That it happens invariably and repetitively suggests that the synergy isn't the cause but the expression by some law of this consciousness. All creatures therefore have this power. It is seemingly more pronounced and nuanced in man.... Thanks for this episode WSF.

    What is consciousness?
    The subconscious information of the network of neurons is decoded or encoded by the thalamus, and the resulting electrochemical substance is consciousness.
    Consciousness, subconsciousness, and deep consciousness are subjective distinctions created by the interaction of various organizational structures in the human brain.
    Our consciousness is like an electrochemical flow, divided into conscious stream, subconscious stream and deep conscious stream. Transfer information electrochemically between neuronal networks.
    But we cannot perceive the deep stream of consciousness, luckily we all know what we are thinking. That is, we all know our consciousness, so when the subconscious information of the network of neurons is decoded or encoded by the thalamus, the resulting electrochemical substance is consciousness.

      Very wrong. Our true conciseness has nothing with our memory. You are messing up with your mind which is just surfer on the water. You need to see your thoughts in rhird place, being aware about your conciseness to realize that your life instance is more than your memories accumulated.
      Btw, memory is not stored in our brain.

    1:22:00 matter (human brain) can yield consciousness type one because it’s a process that requires human brain (in this case), consciousness type one is the key for mankind to decipher both consciousness type one and type two.
    even though at the end self concept (one of the most advanced coding systems in existence itself), but it’s possible to decipher consciousness type one.

    1: 14:90 memory is just a small part of the whole process, but here you can connect what they have mentioned before about DNA to how humans acquired psychological traits through genes from their parents (far more complicated than that).
    the process of generating personal identity is one of the most complicated process in human brain related to body, memory, environment, cultures,….etc
    but the phenomenon of transferring psychological traits via heart transplant is related to the same topic,….etc.

      I'm not sure if this is what you are trying to say or imply, but if you're thinking that emotional or memory experiences of parents can effect the DNA of their future children, then that's simply not the case. On the mother's side of things, the DNA in her ovum (eggs) is present at her birth and certainly isn't being changed. On the fathers side, the DNA in the sperm he produces is also not being changed by any experience he has stored in his brain. I also think you may have misunderstood what they meant when referencing to "changes" in DNA. They are likely talking about gene expression, not actual physical changes in DNA sequences. If this is not what you were implying, then please ignore my reply.

      @@johnchappell4492 I don’t mean exactly what they said (that can’t maintain the state), but I talk about genes in general.
      but they are unaware of what’s behind what they have noticed (their interpretations are incorrect).
      there’s something else far more complicated than that (governed by science and only science).
      it’s possible to make that as axioms (if you understand who you are then you will be able to recognise which psychological traits you acquired from your mother or your father and which are related to your own experience), it’s possible to turn that to axioms (just understand your personal identity).
      to concise: it’s something else far more complicated but related to genes too, I think that will take at least few thousands of years of continuous scientific progress for mankind to figure out what is going on.

      What they said can’t maintain the states in human brain especially rapidly changing states (there’s something else far more complicated behind that), what they mentioned can’t maintain a complete mental and psychological states for instance in the case of transferring psychological traits via heart transplantation.
      (too early to figure out the mechanism behind maintaining the state in human brain).

    • @aminam9201
      @aminam9201 10 місяців тому

      I didn’t want to mention that directly but there is something else uses genes (very advanced coding systems), something else governed by science but very far from humans to grasp (could take up to thousands of years to recognise it).
      they will figure that out as soon as they recognise that they can’t build living entity from scratch.
      that has nothing to with so-called gods, …..etc
      but it’s science, humans can recognise that as soon as they decipher gravity (gravity has nothing to do with that directly, but it will open the gate to reach cycle two).
      it’s not good to mention that but (everything is governed by science and only science „nothing would come into existence without science whatsoever „). to concise: what they said can’t maintain rapidly and continuously changing states in human brain but there’s something else uses genes and can maintain the states.

      It’s not easy to comprehend but this could help: they think that starting from one cell then go to the miracle (they give that ambiguous names such as complexity,…..etc), at the same time they claim that they don’t believe in so-called gods and miracles but at the same time they want things to take place miraculously!
      everything is governed by science and only science but this existence is far more complicated than that!
      there are no miracles: nothing will happen miraculously such as turning complexity into miracles! there’s something else far more advanced and governed by science (nothing would come into existence without science whatsoever), there’s evolution but the interpretations are wrong, it’s possible to start from simple to become more complicated and advanced at the same time in cycle two but cycle one (this universe) never started simple at all (evolution does exist but their interpretations to evolution and life is completely wrong).

    It's interesting that till the point the experts were sharing the techniques of their individual expertise they seemed very precise and certain. But soon as the conversation came to the collective result of their work, they started rambling. The experts might have charted parts of the brain and the mind and have come to understand the two as units of form and function but they still have very little understanding of the combined processes of the two. And if you really want to see them perplexed, just look at them the moment the word "consciousness" was thrown into the mix. That word is the Achilles heal of neurosciences.

Satisfied, I quickly turned back and closed the door behind me. First memory.

    Here you find the explanation of why Time is a process not a dimension, you have to read till the end to be able to understand: There’s a difference between Time is the measurement and Time is a process l, because time is the process of measurement (that is why they couldn’t understand what time is till this moment ), clock hands (minutes and hours) are the reference (memory) the calculation of seconds (The tick of the clock, and oscillation in atomic clocks ) is present time (future in clocks has different approach, clock itself doesn’t recognise future)
    to concise the whole process is time (it’s a PROCESS)
    in human brain the whole process in clocks takes place but humans have memory and can anticipate future (next step based on previous experiences or calculations but in clocks they have fixed pace unless something happens to seconds hand ) so in human brain there’s a whole process (ticking or oscillation, processing “including cognition “ and memory.
    in human brain the processing itself is the present time and the result of processing is the past time “in memory”.
    in pysics it requires space to calculate time, but in human brain probably works at level close to Planck’s length,. in human brain there are more than one clock, one is very accurate such as how humans reach perfecrion in shooting, and other games, and inacurate clock that works in conscious experience (daily life) and that is more effective (no need for high accuracy). clocks can’t recognise time but human brain can. there’s action but could be quantum action or possible mental action in the brain too (but very likely Quantum action) (so-called Quantum action could be the minimum action). talking about space here is in the classical physics (normal equations where we calculate speed and distance) but that is the core of clocks in general (time = distance / speed) the shift in seconds hand. but there’s minimum action (Planck’s scale). mental clock requires action too but different approach. to concise human brain can recognise time unlike clocks (it’s a process). Planck is one of the best former scientists.
    Hopefully the idea is clear, I hardly can focus.
    I think the idea is that time is a bit complicated: why do you need the minute hand and the hour hand? Because time is a process and not just the ticking of the seconds hand, here I am talking about the conventional scale of ordinary clocks , and I am not talking about the scale of atomic clocks, but it is the same idea at the end. but there’s a big difference: clocks can’t recognise the ticks of seconds hand but humans can.
    There’s a mental clock for sure: it’s the result of continuous approximate calculations of dimensions and speed, it’s inaccurate but very effective in usual daily activities such as: is that narrow road is enough to my car to pass through?!, but there’s other type of time which is very accurate and very likely based on physical clock similar to atomic clocks.
    to reach perfection in some shooting sports (repeatable) indicate that there is a very accurate clock (probably more accurate than modern clocks), in human brain (very likely) it is in cerebellum, accompaned with other accurate caluculqtions such as wind speed,….etc. of course all that happen unknowingly.
    ……
    By the way, they hide or delete human valuable precious thoughts for theft purposes (many of the irrational thieves wrote books only out of human thoughts), they worked in a systematic collective theft and worked on erasing human traces).

    My symbol of “Gaia Tree” is inspired by Greek mythological character, the mother of earth, and all organic life also a grandmother of Zeus. In my artwork, magical powers of planet earth can be expressed by volcanoes, storms, earthquakes, famines, or blossoming gardens, and fruitful scenery. I give a credit to magical goddess of this planet Gaia for producing food, prosperity and well-being for all species.
    On the right of organic forces, you see my “bio-mechanical organism” (here size of a mountain Everest) confronting organic life.
    Mash with organic shapes, supposed to resemble an erotic figure, but that at the same time supposed to glorify human civilization as the greatest achievements and the measure of our progress.
    However, what is depicted here is the beginning of the struggle between artificial intelligence and wild, unpredictable, bi-polar human nature.
    Far away on the horizon, you see a super volcano smoking and ready to explode, annihilating most of life and bringing extinction.
    In the center you see how I masterly used my stencil of a “pirate skull” penetrated with a dogger.
    I hope you understand my symbol of a pirate is expressing an attitude of a pirate 🏴‍☠️ in contemporary society. Ancient wisdom says, pirates, die, violent death.
    In this particular composition “shadow stencil” gives a flavor of “human pirate’s spirit” of all of us who were using/abusing Earth for hundreds/thousands of years and care less about our grandchildren’s freshwater.
    I have to admit, execution is fairly bold, but I managed to balance my harmony with dark sky and complex elements communicating directly to each other creating a novelty story that can be interpreted many ways.
    I have created over 400 images of my trademark “Gaia Tree”
