Hello,
My knowledge in neuroscience isn't much.I would like to know whether recovering memories is possible by knowing about memories' storage system and access to that part of the brain or not? And after achieving it; convert datas to a picture that memories could be shown on the screen like a film.
Dear Mehrnoosh,
eaA computer memory is like a container of information. The memory is the container, what is remembered are the states of the container. Animal memories are nothing remotly alike a system of holding information. In biology, memory is the actual functioning structure of the organism. Higher animals can change that functioning structure, they can learn new behavior. Human have language, can make behavioral narrative and can even make narrative of some previous events of their life. But most of human memories are like animal memories, implicit and behavioral. Part of our animal memories are visual capacities and part of our explicit memory is also visual. An explicit visual memory is a self-enactment of an implicit visual capacity as are all narrative. Narratives are in all senses and actions modalities. Remembering a particular scene, is a self-enactment of the visual schemata involved when a particular scene was experienced. The visual schemata are part of the visual system and only a small amount of information is needed for the self-enaction of a particular memory, the same happen in dreams.
