What an enlightening documentary. I am always amazed and curious how our brain works when it comes to memory. My two earliest memories were 1 happy and 1 scary incidents. I didn't know how old I was, I just remember the details of each incident. The happy memory was when my grandpa just returned from pilgrimage. Later on when I was in my early 40s I was having conversation with my father about his preparation for his pilgrimage and my father said something about the year his father (my grandpa) went for pilgrimage. That's when I found out it happened when I was only 1 year old and just learning how to walk.
My younger sister FATIMA, is telling me more about herself. Some scenario happened only when she is 11 months old. Many families are not believing in her, but answers many of their questions. And that makes them rethink. I believe you dear 🍎🌹🍎
Memory is not a mystery, but a faculty developed during the adaptation process. It made possible the survival of individuals and also of the human species. Natural selection was cruel to humans who forgot the way back to their caves after hunting or where there was clean water to drink when thirsty in the dry season. A female that forgot her baby in the woods when returning from fruit gathering did not guarantee the survival of her genes. The mystery for me is oblivion, as we are tormented by memories of frustrated relationships and professional failures. We can't forget that and we also project what happened onto new people and situations creating more and more traumas and problems. Forgetting these things would be really awesome. We stuffed ourselves with drinks and drugs to forget the pain. But oblivion is temporary. The painful memories return when we sober up again. Studying the faculty of forgetting and developing healthy ways to turn off unwanted memories would be more interesting.
I think they mean it is an utter mystery where and in what form memories are stored. Say you remember your fist dog as a child: we know this experience of your first dog changes the neurons, which form new connections - but your new dog and new connections don't resemble each other! So how does a flux of chemicals and electrical signals - always changing at lightning speed - form a stable image of your dog in your old kitchen, of its happy eyes, of its blue collar, of its dark spots, of your feelings towards the dog and how you used to play with it - how does a stable image of such a thing be stored in a dynamic and constantly changing chemical and electrical environment? It's a complete mystery. You can't imagine that mere synaptic connections between neurons explains this. We don't even know if memory is stored in one place (i.e., locally) or is non-local. We don't actually know whether memory is stored in the brain at all, or if it is in this phenomenon called 'consciousness' which mobilizes particular neurons for particular things. Consciousness itself is called ''the hard problem of science' because science has not touched its mystery. Memory is as mysterious if you really look into it and try to explain where it is stored and in what form.
@@zeroxox777 I rarely forget the central ideas of a book or text I read. As I'm always reading new books on the subjects that interest me most, this allows me not only to remember things I've read but to make new associations and, when rereading books I've read, to notice details that I hadn't paid attention to before. Memory learns. Difficult is learning to forget.
⚠️ Everybody encodes everything that happens. We only can't access that information normally. Have you never accessed a fact that you didn't know you even had memorized ? It happens to me from time to time, coming out of nowhere, remembrances of things that I didn't knew I had in my head, and yes, I recognize. Mom sometimes talk about things that happened in my first year, and suddenly, I remember, and even complete what happened after that and provide more details. So, I think we store everything, but normally we can't access, only in special occasions. 🙏👍
In my opinion ,narcissists can mind wipe your thoughts that disagree with their reality ....the only way is to keep a journal and hide it well ,being sure not to think about it too much
Very interesting, it means that under general anesthesia during micro surgery of ear drum, all memory got deleted from the time of inhaling till wakening from anesthesia😌😳🙏
Even bad memory with time it serves you as experience, endurance to survive many more to come. We only define who we are by how we handle our Lowest moments and carry on without affecting your future.
Of course, memories do and must change throughout time, because the brain is always learning, and the meaning of past events will be transformed by this learning. To illustrate, imagine you were in a Catholic school and the priest there said because you were so bad, you'd go to hell. You saw the priest as the expert in religious matters and believed them: you feared the priest and saw them as an authority. Then, through the course of experience, you start to appreciate that there are innumerable different religious views, you start to disbelieve in the Catholic church, then later you start to see the Church as a false, psychologically destructive thing and start to see the so-called self-appointed experts as charlatans. Of course, this will transform the meaning of the memory, but also to some extent it's very substance. You won't see in the mind's eye a priest with authority and expertise, to be feared, but a rather nasty man whose freewheeling assertions on the fate of souls of children amounts to a form of abuse, of psychological violence. I just used this example for its starkness but if we look within our own changing perspective on things, we can see how the past is constantly reinterpreted and our memories are transformed by this reinterpretation. If this process didn't happen, our fear of things, say from childhood, would resist any new learning and we would be afraid of things that we know are not threats. That would be dysfunctional. Probably the problem of false memories would be a marginal concern compared to the problem of memories that resist any change despite new learning.
There's a lot of assumptions in this regarding why things are happening that are simply untrue. For instance, you don't know why the slug is reacting the way it is. You're just assuming it's because of the shock. There could be a much more complex or simple reason as to why it's reacting that way. These scientists are simply assuming it's a reaction caused by a specific memory.
I'm only five minutes in and it's a bit worrying! that bright young kid is doing something that's been known for centuries and it's a bit unsettling that the adults around him are oblivious to this when they are portrayed as experts It's long been known how good the human memory and what techniques there are available to recall things from memory🤷♂️
See? Now you've depressed me. I've always had early memories of being in hospital with polio at aged 2 for nearly 9 months. This was in 1952. I don't have memories of seeing my parents but I'm sure they came to see me, i just dont remember. But, I have always had memories of being given salt baths in the hospital, playing with a little boy called muchael and he was wearing a full bodyThomas splint like me i remember falling off a talll hospital bed and the nurse carrying me around comforting me. Fast forward and I contacted that hospital to get my files 58 years kater but they had been destroyed. But....instead they sent me photos of some of the polio children in the salt baths. They also gave me the name and telephone number if the nurse who took those photos. As i looked at the photos i noticed a lttle girl in the bath who looked almost identical to my little grand daughter. It slowly dawned me that little girl was me! When i called the nurse to ask about her time working there she told me she was 80 now. She confirmed things that nobody else knew about except me in my memories. This story depressed me because I KNOW those memorues aren't a copy of a copy of an original memory. They are the real thing. Some theories should be kept quiet - those early hospital memories have always been a comfort for me. Being separated from my parents for such a long period at such a young age really affected me. My hospital memories are all i had from that time That hospital became my temporary home
It doesn't matter what they say. Those are just theories. There are other theories that say that all time exists contemporarily - past, present and future.
Ti know the difference should be advinced from level education...... first of all memory has connection with math that defined the difference between....... 1×1 yet one 2×2 yet 4 and 2+2 yet 4 ...... and why 1 ×3 it yet three but 2×3 is 6 .... and when it uses 1to 0 yet on the table to identify the difference and 0 has nothing to increase with tymes...and whe 0 it uses to plus makes more one .....
Yes and before this Africans were regarded as as close to a gorilla as to a white man.This gave the excuse for slavery.ultimately it's not what you believe but what you are prepared to do about it that matters
Forgetting is a blessing, cause you forget the bad times too 😊

Some of us dink to forget.

That was my first thought also, more interesting would be to study how to turn off bad memory and forgetting about traumas.
👍
If you find any videos to discuss just that I'd be extremely interested👍
I'm experimenting with that right now actually
This doc is good. A complex subject perhaps oversimplified. However, considering the audience it's good for awareness.
Do not forget: you may be able to implant fake memories to circumvent or cover the real ones, but the real ones stay and CANNOT be deleted...
The kid is high intelligent, he will understand more when he grows up. You maybe need to wait that happens.
No. Memory is not intelligence. Intelligence is about perception and observation, not memory.

This would help so much if it could somehow be used in rehab facilities.

I DEVELOP SHORT-TERM MEMORY i notice that TESLA and Einstein lived inside Images when developing theory
A bit Clockwork Orange in the wrong hands... whoa

Aww 😮 poor rats!
My home town hospital was putting first time mothers to sleep having their first baby. Doctors create situations for pills.

why are we here to submit to the creator of all so easey
Why you don't try on yourself ? I live like this 4 years. Still normal and healthy thanks to God.

Ahh documentary narration shld leave it to men,
Lol my mom seems to suffer from this 'ability'
Poor rat 😥😥😥😥😥
.poor human. All meds that you buy from the pharmacy has been tried on rats and animals ! Then why you buy them.
Yes and before this Africans were regarded as as close to a gorilla as to a white man.This gave the excuse for slavery.ultimately it's not what you believe but what you are prepared to do about it that matters

The old guy speaks like he has something in his mouth. Quite difficult to understand him sometime.
More assumptions than makes any of this close to being scientific! What a load of rubbish. A waste of time and money.
So slow.
Mental overloud music. Turned it off
