The pattern of ordering semantics in a vertical stratification. How can this be reproduced qualitatively as subjective interpretations within the new paradigm of neuroscience?
Rita, I do not have the answer to your question - but the work of Robert Moss PhD might interest you. Bob is on RG - see his profile and papers - and see what he has to say about cognitive memory (left hemisphere) and emotional memory (right hemisphere). He writes about a "dimensional systems model", a "clinical biopsychological model", and what he calls "emotional restructuring". Het allerbeste met je! (hope I got this right). John
The mapping of the memory is may be not such a good expression, as memory is not a fixed construction. It is always reworked depending on the present experience.
And while we sleep memories would be transported form the hippocampus to the neo-cortex, as they proved with mice.
Very special is the memory of the future, by dreaming we consolidate what may be happen.
To have a good working memory there is a need of a potential higher order so that the dream can be actualised when time is ripe.
What makes it possible and how memories can change the DNA is the research for a better future.
In the epigenetics, Eva Jablonka proved that the mice could transmit fear, coupled with a certain smell, to the next generation.
We see that the qualities are quickly improved within the mice family.
As wrong questions can lead to right answers and right answers to wrong interpretations, the memory as qualified information is one of the pillars of our consciousness.
Memory can be transferred by proteins and proteins can change the gene expression so the quality of the proteins can guide the unconsciousness.
What we inherit is also the potentiality for making the right proteins, the memory grid.
Art can evoke a whole machinery of long forgotten dreams.
Brain mapping of memory. A challenge? A true question? Is it a "well-posed" question?
It is very important what the brain is putting into a map and what has been selected as spam. How it happens I don't know. The production of the right proteins is really a challenge. .
Before asking the question how and where the memory is stored, it follows the information waves, it is good to consider memory as an idea of the past of human nature.
The system of nature did not fail, genes and chromosomes are perfectly well constructed to let us transcendent the present tense.
Also the complicated storage of memory in proteins is partly understood.
But proteins are made of atoms and atoms of particles, so there has to be a vertical correspondence between them for the flow of information.
For the moment this beautiful machinery fulfil us with awe, something between surprise and fear. Probably that’s partly the reason why it is so painful going back to the past.
To remember something out of the long term memory, the same connections between the neurons have to be made and the same proteins have to be produced. These old connections need an integration within the present network of neurons.
This asks a lot of energy and brings the mind in a kind of depression.
This can be the reason why people prefer the dream of the future to the beauty of the past.
In many cases art can be an instrument to help evoking the past. The artist extracts his energy partly from the public and the public gets the energy from the artist.
By exchange of energy, gates can open on the level of the collective unconsciousness.
Memory is the cornerstone of society but by infusing false dreams the consumption society is trying to make us forget the long past of labouring and cultivating plants and breeding animals.
As 2% of the population in our region is in the agro culture nowadays instead of 98% in the past, and 80% of the population will going to live in the cities in the near future…
It is something to think about.
Personally I started to take care for sheep with lamb.
Memory is what the past is, personal and collective, daydream is what the future is, it all happens in the flow of an eternal present.
But does the present really exist?
It becomes clear that the brains are not the only householding of the memory, but the whole environment is the other pole of reality.
Memory is a direction of time.
Time is not going forward or backwards (which is also proved) but it is a field (space) with infinite vectors in infinite directions.
Our brains make selections consciously and unconsciously, keep track of traces of memory, in search of useful elements which can be intertwined in an image of future.
The deeper the groove of memory, reinforced by emotions and art, the better they can be used for the future.
This can be proved by the existence of coincidences and synchronicities.
As it is clear on the level of the cell biology, everything is a synchronic happening in a timeless moment.
Memory is communication with ourselves.
It is mapped in each idea, each action derived from experience.
Memory is organising homages for nearly forgotten souls.
It is printed in each word of poetry and our only possession.
Dear traces giving birth to a bright new future.
Memory is the verb of resurrection.
Memory breaks with the linearity promoted by the west, as well with the circular time more accepted in the East.
Memory has something to do with the arrow of time which has a direct connection with quantum physics.
Here the consciousness comes in, the higher the level the more time can fuse with space and the experience is this of space-time.
In action, living, art these levels become visible and objective.
It’s in this region that I do my research; it’s about art becoming science. And I think in the future when the cognitive philosophy is becoming under pressure, art will be a goldmine of experience to study.
Science and art are two sides of the same search and experience. So art has to be studied from another point of view as it happened in the past.
It is as we are now surprised why music has been all the time locked up in musicology and literature in philology.
Steve Lacy wrote music on the words of Richard Feynman, he followed science in his jazz. In fact he was an instant composer.
I don't know if this is useful. It seems to have memory-like behavior.
