Ok, but what I want to know is... how is that we can just "see" things? How can we remember or imagine something? We can see, hear, and possibly smell memories. But _where_ exactly are we seeing/hearing them? It's not like a movie that is actually physically in front of you, it's just... there? "In our head"? Doesn't anyone else trip out about this lol? I need an explanation cause I think about this a lot.
i be asking myself the same like i can clearly see my memories like pictures or images that just pop up. but its not physically there its in our brains. its weird i can't quit explain it. its our consciousness.
A very good short video! Yes, sleep, exercise and reptition are three vital instruments of building a good memory network.I would also find association of ideas/ tagging a thought or person to an event a good way to improve memory.
- yes you are right memory can be fallible - maybe one day will will make a video about that in the interim you might be interested to view more of our videos on freedemliving.com
that is so true i was telling my husband about one easter when i was little my dad brought us home ducklings i described everything in such detail then he asked me how old i was.i said you know, i dont remember ill call my sisters; all 4 of them told me this never happened , yet i still remember it clearly
Question: Is memory independent of time? Meaning, if someone were to time travel back 5 years, alter something small but significant like a childhood book title, would everyone (or most) remember the original title even though it was always the altered title in the new timeline?
+Michael Banks Heavier than aircraft didn't exist prior to the 20th century either, but my question is hypothetical. My theory for the "mind" being outside of time is partially based on an observation. When you fall asleep for a few minutes after being extremely tired, entering dream sleep, then being woken it can feel as though you were asleep for hours.
+Michael Banks You appear to have made a channel for the sole purpose of attention seeking via trolling. Ask a question & look like a fool for 5 minutes or remain silent and be a fool for life.
That's an interesting question and even though I'm answering and responding to your question 6 years later, your question about memory being dependent and independent of time reminds me of the series. "OUTLANDER"!!! I LOVE THAT SERIES AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE IN MY FAVORITE THUS FAR AND I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT SEASON TO START.
It's weird cause not only do I see memories, but I also can smell them when I inhale, or remember how something feels on my fingertips like I'm actually touching it. I can even remember the taste of something like I'm actually eating it at the moment. The brain is amazing.
People say I have a really good memory and I can even remember things from when I was really little. I only have a few memories from preschool and they all feel like a dream. But there is one specific preschool memory I remember the most. Back when I was in preschool, Silly Bandz were very popular. I had a bunch of dinosaur shaped ones and I wore them to school everyday. One day, I forgot to put them on before going to school. As soon as I got to school, I realized I forgot to put them on and began to cry. I cried for hours. The teachers tried to cheer up. One of the teachers suggested I color a picture and gave me a picture of a rat. She pointed to my classmate who was coloring the same picture. The teacher said, "Look, Alysa's coloring her rat green with a purple tail!"

Research on the brain's ability to process information in the presence of distractions, such as music, reveals nuanced findings depending on several factors, including the type of task, the nature of the music, and individual differences. In summary, while background music can be beneficial for some tasks and individuals, it can be detrimental for others, particularly those requiring significant cognitive resources. The effects of music on cognitive performance are highly variable and context-dependent. Now, if the research about the presence of distractions such as background music suggests it may be detrimental to comprehension, why do so many teaching videos include it?
I don't care that much of the change of narrator but this really didn't explaqin that much and concentrated too much on the animation so the pacing was notably slow.
He isn't "Producing" it, he co-presents the Top Gear show. To answer your question though, more than likely the reason he has not been doing HS is because Top Gear is back on our screens in the UK.
Interesting though there must be a distinction between how short term memories are encoded and long term memories are encoded. And what happens if you cann't recall a memory is it still taking up that space in the brain just no neuropath ways /bridge to it for retrivel are available. Or is it completely gone and new things can fill the void ?
This video is actually really bad. Very inaccurate. Long term memory is used for remembering important things like information about friends and family, or how to get to work. Short term is used for information that is only needed for a short time. Like remembering a phone number long enough to dial it. Chances are you'll fail to recall the number in 10 minutes. You can compare the two to computer memory. Where the hard drive is long term memory, and RAM is short term. The hard drive stores important data like the operating system, all the programs and files which are comparable to skills and memories. RAM only stores data long enough to use it. After the data is finished being used it is deleted. Same for short term memory, it only stores information as long as you're using it. When you're done using it, it usually gets forgotten (deleted). When you fail to recall a memory, this means that memory may have degraded to the point it's no longer recognizable, or gone completely. The brain has limited storage space and so memories that are older or aren't used often may get erased to make room for new ones. The neurons storing the memory aren't wasted space, memory is simply the neurons remembering how to fire in the same way as they did when the memory occurred. Like let's say facial recognition. When you first meet someone specific neurons fire enabling you to process the visual data of their face. You can remember what that person looks like because when you call up their face in your memory those neurons fire like they did when you saw their face, which causes your brain to process the information and voila you remember what they look like. However memory storage isn't perfect and details may degrade over time so you may incorrectly remember some details and if you haven't seen that person in years you may fail to remember what they look like altogether. But memory is still a poorly understood phenomenon and nobody really has a good answer for exactly how it works.
The brain has space for way more bits of memory than most of us humans are capable of remembering except for a few people like possibly Kim Peek. In fact, I think it's possible to determine from the state of somebody's brain very precisely what their entire past experience of their life was. It's just that the brain doesn't know how to extract very weak memories. Each memory probably exists all over the memory part of the brain instead of in just one part of it except for possibly the very weakest memories that no one except a handful of people like Kim Peek could consciously extract and the stronger the memory is, the more cells in the brain it affects the state of. The existence of a memory all over the brain instead of in just one spot also explains the ability of humans to extract many memories very easily. It's also possible for people to train themselves to gradually be able to extract weaker and weaker memories and thus recall a fact they once forgot without relearning it as follows: buy a to be invented cell phone where each time you learn a phone number of somebody, you can add that person to the list along with their phone number but each time you want to phone somebody, you can only see the person's name in the list and not their phone number and to phone them you have to touch where on the list their name is then type in their phone number from memory and the phone will refuse to ever retell you the phone number. I believe that after the person punches in a lot of phone numbers, their will be a few phone numbers that are just barely on the edge of being able to recall where the person after 5 minutes of struggling can recall a phone number and each time they struggle to recall a phone number, they practice up the ability to recall a slightly more badly forgotten phone number they once learned until they can recall a really badly forgotten phone number. Some of those people might be really glad later that they were unable under any circumstances have the phone retell them one of the phone numbers because it causes them to recall a password that they once got locked out of their own account for a website from having forgotten or because they don't stop being able to contact their friends when their cell phone breaks down. When a chess grandmaster memorizes a complex chess position, they are actually using less memory to memorize it than ordinary non-chess experts would use to memorize it because there's a pattern between different complex positions that can happen in a legal game so the short cut for memorizing those complex positions only has to be memorized once giving a short cut for describing all those different positions that can occur in a legal game.
There's a lot of inaccuracies in this video. E.g. "retrieval", which is here described more or less as simply bringing memories back to consciousness, and them becoming reinforced. While this seems to be the case to some degree, "retrieval" has also been shown to reconfigure the memory (both phenomenologically, cognitively, and neurochemically), rather than merely reinforcing a crystallized experience (check both Elizabeth Loftus' and Karim Nader's separate research). Also, you sort of make it sound as if the cognitive function often referred to as "memory" is a stock, where things are being put, after they undergo a process of "consolidating". The problem with this line of thinking is that you encourage people to believe that memories are either there or not, while it seems more likely that memory is an amalgamation of experiences, semantic parts, and emotions, which gradually become conceptual anchors, which guide our behavior and ability to imagine/reimagine. Lastly, you don't just remember, because you really want to remember, and your individual brain centers doesn't spring into motion, working in unison from then on. Your brain is constantly in action, and if there's one thing that you truly have very little direct control of, it's what you remember.
This video actually pissed me off quite a bit, as it fails to address possible congitive-deficient conditions. And, as its target audience is likely the most common of people, they will all assume that, indeed, mental illnesses (like amnesia) are caused by the sufferers themselves, as they failed to keep their own memory in shape.

Memory doesn't work at two events, an exam, and when getting into an argument (usually when it ends, you wish that you said that or that, and keep arguing with your virtual opponent)
Hello all. English is not my 1st language, I noticed the English of the lady in the video has an accent different to the ones I normally hear. Can someone please tell me which accent is this? Thanks.
Still no solid information as to how the memory is actually stored in the brain. If the brain is made of atoms and molecules like the rest of the universe, and everything is just electric impulses, where is the information actually stored? I know certain parts of the brain work together to recall and process memories, but that still doesn't explain exactly how they are stored. From my research, I think it could possibly either get coded into the "junk DNA" that science can't explain yet, or into something like the Akashic record, and then our brains somehow retrieve them magnetically/electrically from this field, using the magnetite in our brains. Yes, our brains are magnetic and interact with Earth's magnetic field.
kieran10202 That was not a good rebuttal to the question, and I can't believe it got 20 likes. Just another indication of how ignorant the masses of people are Rockets and memories are two totally different topics. And plus we have successfully launched rockets, but we havnt successfully figured out how the memories are stored. In fact, the video did very little to shed any light whatsoever on the mystery either.
The answer is that they don't know how it works yet, and the regular approach of sensors and electrodes on the head are not going to answer it anytime soon. If we could somehow examine the brain under an electron or quantum microscope while it was functioning, that might be a good place to start.
I was just trying to get across that in science, if all we had to go on was a best guess and that was a reason to stop, we'd have stopped a long time ago. Best guess is always the starting place and then you run with it, more often than not you end up with evidence backing up earlier steps. We don't know a lot of things for certain in science, but that's never held us back before. At the moment, they think they know how to improve retention based on how they think they know retention occurs.
I apologize if my previous comment sounded rude...I agree broad understandings of how things function, like as shown in this video, are good and all but someone like me wants to know on a much deeper level. I want to know on a quantum level what is going on with things. Although brain regions and how they interact are interesting and all, everything really interesting is going on on a much smaller scale. How does the brain know what areas to look to for the impulses? And how do simple electric impulses actually get tuned into mental images? And what part of our brain is responsible for even wanting to know these things? Possibly the pineal gland and the magnetitite in our brains... I'll find out one day.
"long-term memories are stored throughout the brain as groups of neurons that are primed to fire together in the same pattern that created the original experience" So does this mean our brain can only have a limited amount of experiences? since the brains size is limited therefore only so many patterns of firing can be achieved right? but what about creativity? is it just bits and pieces of other experiences to create a new firing orders? Mathematically if this is true the brain would have the capability to explores its max storage potential with experiences created with other experiences. Now the other question that arises is what if the brains size and it's potential to store experiences and creativity is suited to our potential life expectancy, which is also finite as our brains capacity.This kinda shit makes me stay up at night because realizing filling your mind with nonsense may potentially be hindering your goals because if creativity is borrowed from other experiences then enriching ourselves with positive experiences is essential for discovery. On a side-note if our brain is capable of deleting experiences or firing orders at a mature age as children are capable of this task at an earlier age, then we may able to recycle a certain number of firing orders, but the ultimate questions is, is anyone capable of exploring the max firing orders of their brain and able to retain it?

I was just trying to get across that in science, if all we had to go on was a best guess and that was a reason to stop, we'd have stopped a long time ago. Best guess is always the starting place and then you run with it, more often than not you end up with evidence backing up earlier steps.
We don't know a lot of things for certain in science, but that's never held us back before. At the moment, they think they know how to improve retention based on how they think they know retention occurs.
I apologize if my previous comment sounded rude...I agree broad understandings of how things function, like as shown in this video, are good and all but someone like me wants to know on a much deeper level. I want to know on a quantum level what is going on with things. Although brain regions and how they interact are interesting and all, everything really interesting is going on on a much smaller scale. How does the brain know what areas to look to for the impulses? And how do simple electric impulses actually get tuned into mental images? And what part of our brain is responsible for even wanting to know these things? Possibly the pineal gland and the magnetitite in our brains... I'll find out one day.
well made
me and my pea brain watching and instantly forgetting everything :)
Why do I remember song lyrics but not test answers
Good thing I'm docile otherwise I might become a laboratory experiment scary scenarios honesty is best policy

If what just is now a memory did it realy happen?
hey new style!
it's funny

Now someone tell me how we forget a memory or a unwanted thought to never remember it again
wrinkles and memory storage in the cells
"long-term memories are stored throughout the brain as groups of neurons that are primed to fire together in the same pattern that created the original experience" So does this mean our brain can only have a limited amount of experiences? since the brains size is limited therefore only so many patterns of firing can be achieved right? but what about creativity? is it just bits and pieces of other experiences to create a new firing orders? Mathematically if this is true the brain would have the capability to explores its max storage potential with experiences created with other experiences. Now the other question that arises is what if the brains size and it's potential to store experiences and creativity is suited to our potential life expectancy, which is also finite as our brains capacity.This kinda shit makes me stay up at night because realizing filling your mind with nonsense may potentially be hindering your goals because if creativity is borrowed from other experiences then enriching ourselves with positive experiences is essential for discovery. On a side-note if our brain is capable of deleting experiences or firing orders at a mature age as children are capable of
this task at an earlier age, then we may able to recycle a certain number of firing orders, but the ultimate questions is, is anyone capable of exploring the max firing orders of their brain and able to retain it?
okay, so the next question is: How does the memory REALLY work? I mean, we are adults, give us the actual science.
estou vendo esse videio que que minha professora pedio pra eu ver
I miss James
good
I am saw this video and I have a Nile sign 2 tumbs of hand
Me watching this at 5 AM: 👀👄👀
Also you: has 4 eyes
does my brain know that its a brain?
It really bugs me how I cannot remember many events earlier than age 3.
That has a scientific explanation. I believe there's a Vsause video where he mentions why.
Colonel RPG what's the name of that video? I'm curious to know why we can't remember stuff back then. And great video btw👍
Anonymous Anonymous I'm sorry, I don't remember the video :( But you really should watch everything from Vsause, it's fantastic.
I already forgot what this was about....
10 years ago🥲
I forgot how my memory works already..
Why do some people remember facts better than events? Or vise versa
Same for me
Will we ever Develop holograms

Everytime you access a memory, it becomes more distorted and unrealistic...making you believe something thats not in some cases.
LAST!
I forgot this was head-squeeze, thought it was ted-ed
why can only light energy travel at the speed of light
