How does the brain process and store sensori stimuli, and how can these stimuli be recalled as memories? Isn't it obvious that the perception organ at hand (eyes, ears, nose) must obligatory be part of memory recalls?

(PDF) How the Brain Processes and Stores Sensory Stimuli, and How These Stimuli Can Be Recalled as Memories: The Gramophone Model as a Feedback Loop (researchgate.net)

""This article introduces a new paradigm for sensory perception, comparing the brain's processing of sensory stimuli to the operation of a gramophone. Just as the needle of a gramophone creates grooves in a record and later uses the same medium to replay sound, this model proposes that recording and reconstruction of sensory stimuli are not separate processes but occur simultaneously as part of an integrated feedback loop. Rather than storing sensory stimuli independently and recalling them later, the brain sends neural signals back to the senses in real-time to reconstruct perceptions, memories, and imaginations. This model challenges traditional neuroscientific theories by suggesting that the brain must engage the senses themselves to reconstruct vivid sensory experiences. From an ecological perspective, maintaining separate autonomous systems for smell, sound, and vision would be inefficient. Therefore, this model offers a more plausible explanation for how sensory processing works in an integrated and efficient way. This article explores the physiological basis for this feedback mechanism, compares it with existing theories like predictive coding and re-entrant processing, and outlines experimental approaches to validate this model.""
