How Does Your Memory Work? Pt.3

You might think that your memory is there to help you remember facts, such as birthdays or shopping lists. If so, you would be very wrong. The ability to travel back in time in your mind is, perhaps, your most remarkable ability, and develops over your lifespan.

Horizon takes viewers on an extraordinary journey into the human memory. From the woman who is having her most traumatic memories wiped by a pill, to the man with no memory, this film reveals how these remarkable human stories are transforming our understanding of this unique human ability.

The findings reveal the startling truth that everyone is little more than their own memory.

The brain is not a complex well designed machine, it works on trial and error, events, sounds and sight are recorded in a vague manner and are retrieved in a confused and imprecise manner, recalling a memory creates a new memory of the event, recalling an event is contaminated by other memories and the lacking part is filled up with fantasy.

It takes over 100.000 hours to train this brain to bring it to an adult mature level.

I would recommend you read Michio Kaku's book Physics of the Impossible before you assert that super computers are far more complex than the brain. Sure they are faster, but we are not that much closer to achieving true AI now than we were in the 1980's, because the complexity of the brain far surpasses that of any computer.

I find the comparison with supercomputers quite silly, they have no idea what they are talking about, even a computer in the 1980's is far more complex and faster than any brain.

@supadox Trauma fucks with people's head. The more mentally unstable I am, the more I laugh, I've been near suicidal at times, and just laughed, laughed as loud as I could. It's creepy, not something anyone wants to see. Anyway, that's not always what it means, and I doubt she'd be shelling out the money for something like this if it wasn't all that bad a memory.

I was more listening than watching and so when I looked up and saw that the guy in the suite was talking I just thought "Damn that guy has got the voice of a woman".

The pill doesn't remove the trauma, it just lessens it. The memory and feelings are still there, but they aren't as strong. People who are afraid to leave their house due to a traumatic experience would be able to get their life back by toning down the severity of the trauma.

Do no believe him!

Jesus didn't came yet, this man is from the devil!

Jesus said:

Revelation 22:12

"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done."

This man didn't give to someone Heaven of Hell, he is just sick.

What's the chance that the Dude at 8:00 is really, or was really a chick?
