RE: The Neuroscience of Memory Formation.
Holistically, the more you focus on something, ponder on something or give it energy of thought, the more it grows, and becomes a part of your reality.
Ideas are like infectious psudo organisms, language is the medium of transport, the playpan called our mind is theri nutritive medium and growing ground.
Observing nural structural similarities amoung indivisuals having similar knowledgre, andother form of memmory couuld reveal what structures corrospond to what piece of information. That way this information can be used for various pourpouses like knowing tye kinds of thoughts people have, highly helpful for psychologist who could. Rely on a software to detect and determine what kind of environment the patient is in and what kind of worries are present by observing the nural structure.
We could maybe then with thia databases check mycelium colonies structure and see what that reveals, see roots structure and see what that reveals.
Hahah Power of perspective and magnification ;)
Forgive my spellings
I like your poetic perspective. Certainly some interesting, forward-looking ideas. There is research being done with different brain scanning techniques such as fMRI which give some insight here. Being able to create a database of specific information being stored based on structural or even activity scans would be very difficult, as even if two people had exactly the same memory, it's representation in their brains would be different as it depends on their entire life experience up to that moment.
well how about brain scanning newly born children? that might reveal something, if nural networks physically develop over time wouldn't it?
we can compare the different complexity of the brain structure of that newly born kid (control) vs another newly born one subjected to harsh pain ( Experiment ) and see which regions and what structural changes are observed. it isnt ethical but hey, in the name of science what not has been done already XD
I wouldn't personally do it. maybe alter the pain part to something else. maybe keep the kid hungry ? cant try the happy route cause who knows what would make a baby happy., we are so artificial anyway :P
haha
Yes, highly unethical :P That aside, it's a good thought. Thanks for joining the conversation @sishirbaid!
We do know that our brains/neural networks develop as we grow, and we know a good bit about this developmental process. But, there are many difficulties when it comes to memory. Our current technology does not have the resolution to see the relevant changes. If we did, it would still be very difficult and require a deeper understanding than we have to link specific activity causally to a specific experience/memory or vice-versa.
