Memory: The Hidden Pathways That Make Us Human
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 гру 2024
- 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.

#BrianGreene #Memory #Neuroscience #Psychology
Outstanding panel of experts! This topic is most fascinating. Thank you Brian.
In my opinion, one of the best WSF episodes ever! Terrific panel of guests.
This was a good one, however they should of had sapolsky on
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.
I am delighted to see all of you sitting together once again, side by side, just like the good old days!
I would like to express my gratitude to Brian Greene, Veronica O’Keane, Tim Bredy, Gail Robinson, and Oliver Baumann.
Thank you! 🌈
Don't be gay.
this is a very difficult subject and I could tell that our guests were always clear with their answers.
I agree but dr Greene nailed it when he starts asking about molecules wondering about molecules. The emergence or whatever else could hold the memory as experienced over and over is a total mystery. We just know how to break it
I was very impressed with your guests. Certainly surprised of my own level of understanding the concepts expressed in your discussion. Thank you, most informative. As always Dr. Brian Greene does not disappoint.
Whenever I saw Dr Brian Greene talking, that itself turns into a good memory for me.😊
Lots of love and respect🙏 from India🇮🇳
One of these days, we will surely going to watch how the memories of the hallucinating mind's.
Love it, from Nigeria 🇳🇬
I swear, I can recall almost every situation in my life, that has happened from childhood until today. Either its a good thing, or bad I have no idea, but I love it so far
You’re so lucky
Memory is one for the most awesome things a mind can have. With out the mind being able to remember we would be lose is space. 😅
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.
Are you hyperphantasiac by any chance? You can imagine things with as much clarity as your real visual sight? Just curious.
Didn't recognize Randolph. As the Earth aged so did Brian. All this years I never paid much attention how we all have aged. Today, seeing Brian on UA-cam caught me off guard. It's hard to accept that some of my favorite people changed with the time. Thank you Brian for all the shows and lectures. They have enriched my life to the utmost. I look forward to watching more of your shows.
Brian is so good at asking probing questions at depth!
Also he is a great moderator and keeps the discussion flowing between the 4 guests.
Savant ?
Thank you for bringing this interesting topic to the table's surface. All of you made this potentially complicated topic regarding memory/brain brilliantly comprehendable ... Thank you again.
I am schizophrene. This help me to understand myself. Thank you very much. Remember the one god and be thankfull...❤
Memory forms our identities so keep it well 😂...
Omg can I talk to you about Schizophrenia pleasseee?
Great learning today. Thank you so much for the molecular level discussion.
Astounding 🎉 Makes a human being teary eyed to learn from authentic, exceptional human beings ‼️
Science definitely gives new way of thinking 😊
❤fantastic to see live for the first time thank you all so very much❤❤❤❤
That guy at 37:00 really explained his own fundamental understanding clearly. Not many scientists put so much effort to explain others
Very important topic, love to learn and study human brains!!
Very fascinating topic. Still very much to uncover in the future.
I loved every minute of this. It's really fascinating to hear and try and understand the way our brains work.
Remarkable, what an epoch to be a part of. I have so enjoyed all your experience and knowledge which has opened my mind to new possibilities for my own way forward. Thankyou one and all. Kind regards keith.
13:26 Veronica O’Keane - from Stimulus to Cortisol; 19:05 Survival vs. Allostatic Load; 37:28 Oliver Baumann - Molecular Basis of Emotional Event
Memory is important to keep personal identity coherent (it’s a process).
This is golden, thank you very much! Best channel out there by far
Amazing information, huge thanks to professor Brain Greene
Fascinating subject. My father had an exceptional memory. He could remember meals he'd had at particular plane flights, who had been the captain, etc. He was in the airline industry for a long time, so his interest was there, but he was really great at remembering lots of things. I often quizzed him over the years to check if he really remembered so much and I never caught him in a mistake. He was phenomenal in remembering people's names too and who the person was, their background, even though he met lots of people because of his work. I think he had a sort of "Mind Palace" memory mnemonic system. I didn't inherit this from him, unfortunately. I forget names very often, wish my memory was as good as his was.
Many thanks Prof Greene for this amazing episode once again. Hopefully I won't forget it quickly all these valuable information I captured :)
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.
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.
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.
1:04:50 reconstruction of memory poses a very important question that contradicts their previous assumptions!
1:23:43 dude, what she says here made so much sense. Us being aware of ourselves to this extent and looking at ourselves is the illusion of there being something more. More conscious things must be capable of becoming aware of this illusion too?
Fascinating! I stumbled upon this video and I'm so glad I took the time to watch it all.
Thanks Brian and WSF for these wonderful and educative videos. I have been a great fan of your writing for well over a decade. I have also been a subscriber to this channel for many years now, Have watched your documentaries and loved them. These videos with the brilliant guests you have are absolutely a breath of fresh air for someone like me with a curious mind. It’s staggering that we live in a time when such content is widely available at minimal monetary cost if that. Thanks for this brilliant content and wish you all the best.
Fantastic discussion!
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.
Excellent!
Excellent discussion and Brian Greene always asks excellent questions. It would be interesting to ask the panel what their thoughts are about AI Superintelligence.
I think the extent and reach of human memory is a very different process for people. Some have extraordinary reach and depth of memory and others very brief. It's also different for people on different subjects, making it a personal and unique way in which our neurochemistry is defined and functions. I can see Dr Greene has a specific interest in this subject and I wonder, why is that?
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 🙏
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.
I agree and am mindful of all that exists that we are not aware of but should seek to find
I have musical notes flowing through my blood, so to speak. I play several instruments and cannot survive without music. I also speak several languages. This is just to give some context. Proust ‘s use of olfactory memory was absolutely astute… I have not had the direct “recollection” in months but there was something that used to remind me of some Playtex bottles that my mom gave me when I was a baby. They had slits on the sides and the milk was placed in a baggie that would go inside. I remember holding my bottle and putting my fingers through the slits. It has not happened in a while but there was some smell that always brought that memory to mind. I know I exercise certain parts of my brain that keep certain memory skills active as I am a professional interpreter. But, I used to recall conversations word per word as described here but I am not sure I recall as many as I used to… which scares me a bit. Emotional trauma and dwelling in those negative, sad feelings certainly play quite a number in our memories, I am an example of that. So, to emphasize creating positive memories and not dwelling in the sad ones that are not necessarily is a must and I keep working hard on it. We can all do it! How wonderful our brains are! I love this conversation, I revisit it every few months, it is soothing and motivating.
A great discussion although from my POV I would have liked more talk on the use of implantable, synthetic devices for memory storage and BCIs for "off site" memory storage / computation. My organisations The Neural Archives Foundation, has particular interests in a number of the points that were discussed but primarily how this stored information might be recovered from frozen neural tissue.
Also, as usual, Brian did a great job leading the discussion! Well done everyone!
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).
Thank you very much for the remarkable discussion on memory, indeed it was a complex process (at the end of discussion, does it pointing on human's soul?). 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....
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.
Awesome + Informative = The Mind is very powerful.🙃😎✌️
😊 wow thank you all !!
My first memory is under a tree at a free festival... not sure if it was stonehendge or Glastonbury (I don't remember 😅) but I have a vivid memory of being under a tree, in a buggie, in the shade and our family dog was watching over me...that's it! But it remains vivid and I have later discovered that when I was
We actually only remember or visualize things that get us closer to our objective. When we go more unthinking, careless, unconscious, sleeping/dreaming, or die our consciousness travels to other perspectives across space and time which help us work with other people, living, material, and to otherwise impossible understanding and freedom.
I'm usually stuck on memories of people who taught me important lessons, or characters from a story similar to the ones in my life, but different enough to challenge my perspective, and mostly I seem to dream from the perspectives which remind me of cute girls or guys who like the cute girls I know.
It is difficult to find out if these dreams are from their real lives due to how awkward the line of conversation may be, considering the strange yet personal subject matter.
Trauma emotions can be removed and should be done because it is possible ❤it's solely self work. I used to be sad and stuck in my head for over 30 years and finally now freed and happy ❤😊❤
This was such a beautiful conversation
1:10:00 in some cases of severe trauma (both psychological and physical trauma but here specifically psychological trauma ) some cases could block both memory and the process of generating personal identity.
why and how?!
This conversation has invoked my memory of watching " Total Recall " for the first time.
Surely a memorable episodic memory is formed of this episode on memory.
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.
My first memory is from when I was in the back yard with my brothers and a German Shepherd (no surprises there...lol). The weird part is that when we left that house for a different house i was eighteen months old.
So I can remember something from when I was a toddler.
My son remembers being about three months old and we can vouch for this as he remembers the fridge being in the breakfast room, not in the kitchen. He can point it to its exact place and he's right.
I remember being in cot and crawling. I also remember sitting in my dad's slipper and pretending it was a boat. Then I looked up and my dad was so tall!
I have many memories of that kind, all from a very early age.
With Brian Greene at helm, you can be sure that the talk would be high quality and interesting. However I would have wanted to hear a bit more on the exact mechanics of memory formation and retrieval, involving neurons and circuits. The talk was more general.
Thank you for your education! love its!
Fabulous ! Yay !
Thanks for posting
"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. This started in 2015 I'm 37y/o
Somthing beyond the molecule is gods job that we deserve for human kind.
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.
Attending your torso?
@@malindabrowning9240yes, like my chest- for most people the constant locational shifts of their attention escape their conscious observation, but if you learn to pay attention, the brain must 'render' even inertial forces and internal movements of balance and adjustment.
It’s very interesting that approaching my 40 I started to dream my past experiences - it’s like coming back memory of my birth- literally the peak of struggle reaching the light, other past lives in strong action moments- short but so vivid and clear dreams/memories 😅..
grande..........................................veramente............................grazie..................................
0::48, smell is probably the oldest of our senses
🎉🎉🎉🎉super episode
Brian and Beast have totally different audiences. Tell your 200+ friends with emails to forward this to their 200+ email contacts. That's 40,000+ possible viewings. Two more forwarding levels could yield at least 1,600,000,000 viewings. Just a thought.
Thanks Brian I’ve always enjoyed your presentations this one is really good and presents some very important information on consciousness that I have been seeking you did a great job makes me want to claim you as an Aussie. Fair dinkum
1:16:00 that’s important part (recognition), that is why I wrote both personal identity and consciousness type one are generated simultaneously in a very complex process by self concept.
Notice: I write only for the sake of future generations (your descendants) and science.
many sick irrational thieves already have stolen and polluted human thoughts badly (so dangerous because human logic is completely different and passed through human thinking process).
I feel like the panelists missed the mark in answering some of Greene's questions, but it was definitely a great episode.
1:12:00 as long as they don’t understand that there are two types of consciousness (consciousness type one and type two) and that both consciousness type one and personal identity are generated simultaneously within a very complex process then they have no chance to understand what is going on even after millions of years!
Fascinating!!
1:14:10 read carefully what I wrote before, self concept is what generates personal identity (to simulate itself) why?! It’s a long story but very effective.
here memory is just part of the process (even though here permanent memory is still there but can’t process it,…etc)
1:15:10 rethink carefully.
this is the first rational intelligent human entity in human history (impossible to break human thoughts even after billions of years)
this must reach future generations clean (intact), they will need all I have written to survive.
Consciousness is the key word
An interesting follow up might be the impact of technology such as asocial media and AI on the brain and behavior.
Great discussion until the 1:28 mark and one of the guests (Tim Bredy) says that if we lean on technology more it frees up creativity. Although this guest was extremely knowledgable, I don't think he understands the roots of something like creativity. Creativity is not based on a clear path of thinking, but it's based rather on just the opposite - the energy and identity forces at work when our path of thinking is blocked, repressed, etc.
Brian asked some really good, tough questions
Impressed by the detail
11:53. .... oliver: emotion is obviously an important currency for the brain; to know when to encode something or not ....' 🤔 wow
Interesting.Thank you
A long line of kids walked in single file in a great big room to where a nun sat with a tennis racket. What was going on? 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.
1:23:10 dude… we have been there for a while… people get lost in hypotheticals and dont extrapolate what we know for certain already… complexity we know for certain doesnt at all need to imply something beyond determinism… yes it’s complicated and the nuances are very difficult to sus out… but we can observe the system “above” to be deterministic… as well as “below”.
The fact that MrBeast video has more views than this video is a Shame.
Yes and it shows in society
Are they giving out a thousand dollars, or a private island??
@@intuitmovers6927 yes, the question is, is a private island more valuable than a Human Being???
for the large majority of people the knowledge displayed in this video is completely irrelevant. MrBeast provides better entertainment so he gets more views.
I prefer this though over MrBeast, but accept that I'm a minority.
@@daarom3472 Thank you for taking the time to reply. while I support your preference, I however, cannot unsee the systematic and cultural failure that you mention in the first paragraph of you comment.
44:00 maintaining the state and regenerating them regularly in such a very complex active environment (human brain), the mechanism they mentioned is impossible to maintain continuously changing states!
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).
Problem solved 👍
Better to invest in and rely on future generations (they are the only one who can solve the problems of the fundamentals of physics).
improve the education system and offer them better living and education conditions.
I was missing the applause ... Fantastic show. I had around 5 epiphanies the hour.
@JesusDiedForYourSins-nm4gq I just called him up. He did not such thing. He told me he that now he was doubting if he was even an historical person with a propper mail address: "All these stories lie in a bit of a messy fog...". Jesus today seemed in quite a desperate mood. 500.000 germans have resigned the church this year alone. Something to do with many thousandfold abuses of authority. But I ask myself: Why do you bring up death and debt in context of a a fantastic science-show that enlights us on the majestic gravity of the neurobiology of human memory?
Thank you ❤
Thank you so much
Awesome program! Thanks to the experts for their professional explanations, which solved my hard thinking. Hopefully what I have learned from you will help you too.
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.
Concepts as I understand them are a representations of what humans not fully understand but at the same time they acknowledge its existence even if only mentally,…etc
usually it’s something agreed on its existence, but may not be agreed on its essence (ambiguity)…
to concise it’s a concept till they agreed on its essence!
Very informative
These descriptions and explanations are splendid, yet they keep changing as more measuring devices are made. Associations to human feelings are dynamic, non-linear and context-depending.
It does keep learners occupied in comprehending the terminologies and flow of logic in making some sense of the data collected by devices and by observations.
Difficulty of such pursuits does not make it superior. Functionality in mitigating real problems make it more relevant. Issues are on-going and has no solution. Only problem statements have solutions. So the pertinent question is, "What problem, if any, is it going to solve?".
0:55,, that word, intuitively, remembering your future
To all involved with this video from the narrator and writers and the artists and videographer and all the scientist , fantastic job well done making a the subject matter easy to comprehend and enjoyable. The voice of the narrator keeping me interested. Surely this won awards and deservedly so.
Very interesting,
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.
