You remember wrong! Memories of noise

- Ever wondered how your brain condenses the expanse of creation into sloppy meat? We'll explore concepts like information theory, lossy compression, and pattern recognition to understand how we deal with all the noise. Plus, you'll get a glimpse into how AI models can help us visualize this process. Why are you still reading this? No one reads descriptions, right? I’m frankly not really sure why they’re there. Who is actually reading descriptions and deciding whether to watch a video they’re already watching. What would possibly in this description that would change your mind not to click away if you were already bored enough by the video to be reading this? Nothing, that’s what.

Thinking of brains as "lossy" is such a simple and appropriate way to describe something I already knew, I'm definitely incorporating it. Good short explanation!
I really enjoyed this - and your presenting style! Have very happily subscribed, and now I'm joyfully remembering all the cute collections of subatomic particles which have fallen asleep on my lap over the years 🐈💤
I read the full description paragraph before hitting play.
Fascinating, good to know!
I sometimes check the descriptions to see if the creator cites their sources at all.
Noted, that's fair!
mine is the most valid tbh
facts
I'm not like the other guys
Loved the video. Keep it up 🧡
the most "valid" is what reality actually is...only reality is real and anything else is our understanding of it. If we can get close to describing it accurately, we've don't a pretty good job. Random dude here from the algorithm.
I thought "memory of noise" was going to refer to auditory memories lol. I don't think our memories of sounds are as editable as more emotional memories, we can all remember our favorite guitar solo pretty much accurately
This is also true about what we read and see in the news. We don't remember all the tiny little details like date, names, numbers and so on, but with remember the most important (many don't remember the name of the terrorists on 9/11, the exact number of victims, the time of day or the number of the flights, but they do remember what happened).
This can be a problem when arguing in social media, where opponents demands links, documentation and facts ("otherwise it didn't happen"). You remember reading an article about a topic, but don't remember the article itself or all the tiny little details, just the conclusion you share with others online.
Also makes me think about the debate about the "Jennifer Aniston Neuron" some years ago, suggested by UCLA neurosurgeon Itzhak Fried.
Oliver Sacks deal with a similar topic: ua-cam.com/video/SgOTaXhbqPQ/v-deo.html
I hadn't heard of the "Jennifer Aniston Neuron", looks like it was kind of a joke when they first proposed it. From wikipedia for context on the name, "After operating on patients who experience epileptic seizures, the researchers showed photos of celebrities like Jennifer Aniston. The patients, who were fully conscious, often had a particular neuron fire, suggesting that the brain has Aniston-specific neurons". That's cool!
cool video keep it up
Comment for the algogod. Keep up the solid work!
One pizza please
here you go 🍕
He said "here's your pizza, with lots of extra cheese!"

Only God can have a full experience of reality, we are fixed to a tiny space in perception
No, not even God can do that
