But neurons are connected so that when they fire together, they wire together, to form stronger connections. After practice, the influence of the field will become dispensable. The activity will be learnt and may thereafter be performed unconsciously.
this could indeed be the preliminary storage factor
One of the fundamental questions of consciousness, known as the binding problem, can be explained by looking at a tree. Most people, when asked how many leaves they see, will answer "thousands." But neurobiology tells us that the information (all the leaves) is dissected and scattered among millions of widely separated neurones.
Half the world asked what comes to mind when the word tree is given them will state T R E E, letters of the word and the other half will discribe what there concept of a tree IS, the picture .... some have empathy with the picture, what IS and others with the word ... pity them for sure or is this evolution? ergo or the lack of it? laziness or answering the question where does empathy lay on a personal level?
When we see an object, signals from our retina travel along nerves as waves of electrically charged ions. When they reach the nerve terminus, the signal jumps to the next nerve via chemical neurotransmitters. The receiving nerve decides whether or not it will fire, based on the number of firing votes it receives from its upstream nerves.
this overall process in a nut shell is very similar to data retrieval in computers and the freezing of atoms for the new time piece measurements using EMF and ... plasma control with the change of EMF directional flows over our poles .... ? the interesting tidbit for thought i might serve thinking thus is the effect of memory transfer when memory cells are destroyed most noticeable in stroke victims and glue sniffers .... the learned rote has to be accessed anew not learned anew ... ? the addresses of the data stored are lost and must be renamed and categorized and this by conscientious will controlling the Emf would humbly subscribe to as going on constantly despite the learned unconscious use placement prior much maybe to be learning to ride the bike by habit then a bigger one as you grow sort of thing ...
... much food for thought but i am ever amazed at language usage, poor spelling and made up words ... is this ones attempt to add to the dictionary or just trying to throw off the AI ? could be i have a bad spell checker or set on Canadian ... have too look into that one ...
