how your brain works...?

I remember reading a whole excerpt like that in psychology you are right the brain can assemble letters in that we only need the first and last letter to understand the word, it's so neat!

your brain  controlls everything!!

Indeed it is fascinating!  \n\nAnother thing I always thought was neat was the way some connective tissues of our bodies work.  Bone, cartilage, elastic tissue, and many types of extracellular matrix that provides support for our organs work in the same way that cement does; a matrix of proteins filled with a sort of goop of compounds that holds it all together, just like a wire mesh filled with cement.\n\nPerhaps even more interesting is the way our brains work like computers (or rather, the way computers work like our brains!).  There are really only two positions a neuron can take: 'on' and 'off'.  This is not unlike the binary code that processors use.  Of course, brains are a lot more complex, and use a variety of messengers beyond just electrons.

I know where!!!!! your brain!!!! u have it so you can think... duh

Inorder to relate brain mechanics to physics you would have to use the quantium electrodynamics or the theory of electrostatic "Like studying how the processor works" but instead of electrons you can use neurons (how various sections of the brain handle data or signals and what part of the body they affect if signal transmission is ineffective) \n\nRealy hope you find an answer I would realy want to know your progress good luck!

No, it is not true. All of your brain gets used, at different times, for different functions. \n\nHow can it be measured? PET scans and fMRI.

This is a very interesting topic. It's like how you can hear yourself say something in your mind, but you don't actually hear sound. Or how you see a certain image when your eyes are open (hence, daydream). It's difficult to observe thoughts as they are happening, since the only way to actually formulate an opinion about what we are thinking is to analyze what we remember thinking. It's pretty amazing how our minds work, and what they control. We can't (more accurately, MOST of us can't) voluntarily control the rate of our heart beat, but we can voluntarily control our breathing. Yet, when we are asleep or not paying attention, our brain's nervous system takes over. It's so amazing...\n\nI can go on about this forever! : ) I actually have never heard of the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle but I'll look into it. (After a pause...) My thoughts are telling me to finish typing. ^_^

That question isn't quite right. A simple analogy to the working brain might be a moving car. Not just a part of the car is moving but all of it. You can train your brain to work better in certain aspects though. Evolution is still changing the way our brain works, for better or worse, it just adapts to the way we live.

The brain has an unlimited measureless capacity for storage. With each new fact learned - especially in infancy & early childhood - you get a new wrinkle in your brain. No kidding! Check out brain weights of really supersmart folks like Einstein, you will be surprised! But there is no limit to what your brain can hold & it even takes in things you aren't aware of - all while running your body, as well.

Pretty cool never heard of this before. It must be because you are concentrating on making the six your brains just tells your foot to go in the same direction...very cool experiment thanks for entertaining me for a few minutes on this very boring day...lol

Information is just data, which can be about anything and be ordered in no particular way. Knowledge ia taking information from different places about different things and putting them together in a coherent way that can give you "NEW" information. Usually knowledge is cumulative over time or is emergent out of many many different sources of data.\n\nThe way knowledge and information work in our brain is as follows: information is stored in our brain as memory (how exactly does our brain store information in memory is still being studied, but basically it is an electro-chemical process in our neurons). Our brain accesses the memory to analyze and compare with data stored from all different time or sources. Whenever we discover a connection bewteen the different data, our brain will actually reinforce the neurological connection betwwen them. so that when we think about one we will also remember the other. In this way, our brain reconfigures itslef constantly to allow knowledge to come out of the information we store and analyze.

you use both halves of your brain. you use different halves during different activities. in artists the right brain is the stronger side. when you are doing a math problem you use a different 1/2 of the brain than when you are painting. they both do the same thing in everyone. it is just in some people are stronger in one half. people are not just either logical or creative. that is not how it works. you are both but you may have a strength.\n\nnsrunner16@yahoo.com

Your body sends signals to your brain, which then sends signals back to your body telling it what to do. All this happens in a split second. This page also explains what type of memory you have. There are all different types of memory that remember certain things by the way they look, smell, feel, etc. etc. I hope you enjoy this web site, and take time to look at all of the other pages, such as Disorders of the Brain and Parts of the Brain. Please refer to our Resources and Credits page, as well as our Fun and Facts page.

Its called your mind....Amazing isn't it....

Ichi THAT is BRILLIANT......I know that in the tangential thinking that often bests me 'thinkos are the weakest links, perhaps the 'savants' of my mind and truly the innocents. Perhaps they are what saves my butt altogether.\nAbsolutely Brill!!!! I am going to ask if I may have permission to use this in my writing for in my speaking & writing i have for the first time just spoken it aloud...thank for the new concept on somethng I have been doing, another thing to obssess on, fair play to you mate, brain food doesnt often ome through the screen like this. and it just did.\nNow does this include the frontal and temporal lobes? Will Kirlean Photograhy show this in action? Or is it a different part of the brain where the lost socks of our lives go to?\nTHIS is a cool quesion. I now possess a new word..and it is awesome..."THINKOS"..now THAT is HOT!!!

its a very broad question.  \n\nthe human mind is incredible for retrieving information with details, associating picture memory, with smell and words. how things feel taste..  It also is wonderful for imagining things concepts and creativity.  the human brain has the ability to adapt to things and reason, it can think concepts and fiction.\n\nComputers work differently, they are good at remembering things that have no pattern simply electrical charges in a set order.  A machine designed to keep refreshing that information.  sensors can input information, but the more complex the info the more computing power needed to make sense of it.  \n\ncompare a computer driven car compared to a fighter pilot.  the incoming information in shear data what your brain receives from the senses and throws away useless info before you even realize you saw it.   \n\nYour eyes take in everything.  you brain ignores anything it doesnt feel important.  computers didnt get there yet.
