Or how every day life can change one's perception of the world; for example, in my mid-30's suddenly having financial troubles, now seeing the world as a less positive world (amongst other troubles). I can see it changes these memorymaps in terms of feelings/emotions as well (not only the obvious spatial ones). I used to have a more positive look on life in general. But I think it is hard to keep the positive map as life continues/changes memory, or will be there some kind of medicines to open (what they called) doors between those maps in the future? Like all these hormons to feel good? I'm sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense (not good at the hormons in relation to the brain topic; and not native english here)...hopefully someone gets the grasp of it. For fighting depressions and other emotional states. Or do these define us as human being? We can't be positive all our life could we? Etc etc.

I say this all the time! Esp in regard to mental health. How can we decide that some brains are "typical" and others are "divergent" when we know brains vary so much-- as unique to individuals as their fingerprint? Sure there are patterns (like loops or circles in finger prints) but no two the same. We know so little but are making so many claims about how brains should process things & how people should behave. Creates so much stigma and suffering.

There is also the fact that the detail and sharpness of the images that people can create in their minds varies greatly. Some persons can create images that are very detailed, vivid and sharp quickly and easily, and for other persons the images are much less detailed, sharp and vivid. There is also the fact that as we move into different states of consciousness such as deep hypnosis, or a dream state, or a deep meditative state our ability to create images changes dramatically and those persons with initially less ability are now able to create images and also remember memories with incredible detail, vividness and accuracy.

I swear, I feel like kids lowkey are the most sensible, truly intellegent humans on the planet. It's like they haven't been hit with overloaded textbook explanations, which allow them not to over complicate anything! The simplicity in their thought process allows for those vast answers that take older humans much more time to capture.

Very, very good conversations. I especially enjoyed the perspective on memory as a "compass" guiding future actions and affecting previous memories. I think a lot of that compass is driven by our fears, especially death. Fear of loneliness causing that compass to point toward long-term situations that give us community and help us fit in and driving us to act in ways that would eventually provide us with community, fear of running out of resources causing us to put ourselves in situations with more resources to prevent things like starvation and poverty, etc

A memory is a symphony of signals of your experience as the event unfolds. Thats why repeating the event makes it a solid semantic memory as it not only depends on one neural pattern of one particular event but a series of implicit and explicit memory signals superimposing over one another

The mental model that we have is very "reflective" of our previous experiences. I think that her particular insight there is worth more attention. We perceive through frequency, for the most part. Wavelengths of light are differing frequencies of the electromagnetic wave, sound is frequency of air pressure, etc. Then those frequencies are then somehow interpreted in context with templates that we have for different aggregations of frequencies we've experienced before. It's like we're self-organizing mirrors

It's interesting, I've actually been thinking about "mental models" for the past couple weeks. What is it that leads people to develop certain mental models? Is it simply having lived a certain life and being treated a certain way by the people around them? Do innate biological predispositions play any role in the final mental model that a person may develop? I believe there is a finite truth to everything and that there are horrible as well as wonderful people in the world. What if we could fully map the mental models of the best people in the world, would it then be possible to replicate those mental models in future people, through education, through cultural engineering? These are questions I've been thinking about the past couple weeks.

I've been listening to Stephen Fry's podcast on psychology and it's great to see even further into those ideas here!

As a computer scientist, I'm very happy to hear about this evolving sense that cognition maintains a model of the world, and in turn the model guides behavior. Memory decorates the model with episodic information, we might say, and more incrementally reshapes it with semantic information. But the model isn't some passive thing. It's actively engaged in imagination and planning. And so it's a bit of an artificial distinction to talk separately about memory and imagination. One is presumed to be accurate and the other is presumed not, but in fact they have almost identical functionality, and may rely on the same architecture. This is also evolutionarily more plausible than to suppose that they originated independently.

This is amazing

The way these women are telling y’all to grow is astounding and I love it. ❤

How refreshing, after binging the physics videos, to finally understand what the expert's are talking about as a cognitive neuro/psych student :P

My silly take on defining *"memory"* : It's your brain recording information and relaying it back in uniform with our previous encounters regarding modeled behavior.

Please do literature next !!!!!

What the experts describe at the end makes me revisit Why I wanted to raise my son in Oslo. Oslo is a compact cosmopolitan city that's built by a community that's surrounded by and celebrates nature. Now that I had my son and I move to LA I can practically witness his growing interest towards cars 😭 The car culture is so strong that it's overriding whatever I attempt to teach him. If we were in a city like Oslo where cars are band in the city center I'm quite sure his interests and outlook would be much broader; perhaps he'd notice the architecture or how the people behave differently there versus here. Settings acts as a default map of societal and cultural norms; the setting here is not the model norm I want him to emulate 😟 But maybe printing pictures of fonder memories spent during hikes, museum visits and good natured social activities will help reinforce the "map" he'll circulate in his memory 🤞🏼 I can't shut out the world I'm surrounded by but I'll try my best to mold it back to better shape 🤷🏻🙏🏼😓

Interesting because newer spatial therapy (described in The Body Keeps Score) is helping folks who have PTSD. I have so many questions to ask the experts at the end.
