I wrote an Essay to define "What is Truth?" and "Why did God create man?" In order to do that, I had to define the terms you are seeking: the ability to store knowledge, process it, and act on it. Only the first two or three pages relate directly to your question, but I think you will be interested in the entirety of it.\n\nEssay\nWe must distinguish between “knowing” and having information. “Knowing” is having direct experience of reality, while “being informed,” is having definitions, descriptions, names and narratives. Knowing vs. being informed are direct antagonists of each other. Knowing is a process that begins in the visual processing of the right side of the brain and culminates in the unification of reality and the two brain hemispheres, while becoming informed takes place in the left side of the brain and culminates in the total separation of reality and the two hemispheres of the brain.\n\nThe left side of the brain breaks up the world into finite components and time sequences, and the other, the right side of the brain, focuses on the unity of things in the world. The left hemisphere is the intellectual, syllogistic logical faculty that we measure through IQ tests, which excels in communicating finite concrete ideas, in addition to the definitions and descriptions that makes up the technological processes (chemistry, mathematics).\n\nBut not everything in the world fits neatly into definitions, descriptions and linear logic. Therein lies the problem with predominantly left-brained people, and Western civilization in general, who try to use this faculty to communicate all realities. This problem is compounded by the ingrained belief of most people that information is knowledge. And worse when we try to understand ourselves.\n\n“Know thyself,” they say. But what is real? What is the truth? \n\nWe perceive the world through our faculty of consciousness, i.e., we perceive thoughts, feelings, physical forces and objects through our consciousness. But consciousness exists apart from the things we are conscious of. We are aware of thoughts and feelings, but these were not generated “consciously.” Neither is consciousness an entity (as is usually taught).\n\nWe are also taught that “will” is a separate entity, but it is not, neither separate nor an entity. Consciousness and the will are opposite polarities (passive and active) of the same function. They are not really separate. They\nare two parts of the same thing, so I shall heretofore refer to them as “consciousness/will,” or simply “C/W.” As two parts of the same thing, they act in concert together. But the will also exists apart from the functions it sanctions, initiates, selects, controls, or suppresses.\n\nWe have verbal and graphic thoughts, but we also have a “thought generator, that throws thoughts into the sphere of consciousness, but functions outside and independent of the will. This is the mind.\n\nWe also have feelings, emotions and sensations, but also a “feelings generator” (incorrectly labeled as our soul). The generator of thoughts, emotions, and sensations is one and the same. But we have no perception of its existence and activity. Something (this thing) is working outside our sphere of consciousness that is guiding our physiological, mental, sensual, and emotional functions. This hidden, subconscious, or unconscious agent is called the spirit, the psyche, or soul.\n\nMost people describe themselves with their habitual pattern of thought and emotional responses to events. And too, most people identify themselves as the thought generator (their minds) and its contents (their beliefs).\n\nThis misunderstanding is responsible for the impossibility to “Know thyself.” I have already described a hidden aspect of our selves which we share with God. Our soul or spirit is intended to be shared by God, and carries a designed and specific function. \n\nThe consciousness/will, or C/W, are the indicator

yes, I too find this subject very interesting.  Recently I have come across the subject on the egoic mind and about living in the present..  I often find it hard to meditate my mind chatters on, The subjec ton the ego trying to take you over and often capturing your mind to stay on the negative is very interesting.  Ekhart Tolles has written a lot about the subject and is worth reading.  Ekhart says ... in order to be happy we have to learn to disidentify with our thoughts and emotions and take a higher stance in witnessing our internal life. That way we shall develop presence in the Here and Now and learn not to be taken away anymore. This is the Mystical Warrior Stance: to remain firmly rooted in the Now and fight all distractions of the mind, out of our deep knowledge that nothing can make us happy and blissful apart from this our own inner Self.\n\nCheck out his website.

His left is your right isn't it? Perhaps you are righthanded and therefor your right eye dominates and stares at it's choice, the closer object to it (being the left eye of the other person). Try looking at a lefthanded or leftbrain dominant person and see if there's a difference. ^__^

The human mind is associated with the brain.  The brain tends to use neurons which have previously been used over those which have never been used.  Background assumptions, beliefs, paradigms all tend to prevent new associations with old concepts.

It works, in a limited way.\nActually it has more than 1 point of view.\nPsyhodinamically, it is said that when our conscious mind is resting, sub- & un-conscious mind are still active. And they have the capacity to store memories (long-term memories) so we can bypass our conscious mind by memorizing things (including vocabs) right into the subconscious mind. \nWhen is this window opened, it is while we asleep / through hypnosis.\n\nCognitive-psychology would see it from the brain working style. While we FALL asleep, our brain's waves turns from Alpha (wake / alert pattern) to Delta (sleeping pattern). It goes slowly (or quickly, depends on our mental state / how sleepy we are, etc) through Beta pattern first.\nWell, beta brain waves is known to be the most effective for brain to function. (That's one of the reason why people are suggested to listen to 60 beats instrumental music while studying, because it helps stimulate brain waves into this condition)\nWhen we are in this state, the brain will absorb the information exposed.\n\nOff course there are 2 obvious drawbacks.\n1. the phase / length of time when brain will 'learn' is raher limited. So it is not wise to depend on this method to learn new languages. It is most effective (I think) to use this method only to get used to the language itself and the pronounciation.\n2. brain can only takes vocabs / sound / pronounciation, and not grammar, since grammar / other language rules need thinking / understanding, and so need the conscious mind to be active.\n\nI am indonesian, and I speak mandarin, fujian, and french (apart from english), so I had had first hand experiences about these stuffs.\n\nThese methods help, but not in themselves sufficient to learn a language. Good luck!

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. ^_^

Interesting puzzle:\nfMRI studies have shown that neurons in the brain associated with a task begin to fire about 800 milliseconds before the person is even aware that they want to perform an action.\n\nDo we have no free will? \n\n\nMed Hypotheses. 2001 Mar;56(3):364-6.\nIf there were no free will: Fisher CM.\n\n\nElectrophysiological findings in humans who are performing voluntary acts, indicate that the intention to act, follows brain activity rather than preceding it. This has implications for voluntary behavior and the doctrine of free will. This essay reviews the fields of human behavior, including medicine, in which this new thesis might have far-reaching significance. Copyright 2001 Harcourt Publishers Ltd.\n\nAn extract:\n\n...it should be pointed out\nthat somewhat the same conclusion may be reached on\nthe basis of rather elementary observation. Every thought,\nfeeling, inclination, intention, desire, every mental\nimpression no matter how brief or faint, must be created\nby nervous system activity. How else could they arise? Ideas would have to arise without a physical basis.\nNervous system activity must always precede. Every\nnuance of thought and feeling arises in and must be preceded\nby its own specific electrical configuration in the\nbrain. If one has the experience of ‘willing’ the nervous\nsystem to do something, the impression of ‘willing’ must\nhave been preceded by nervous system activity.\nOtherwise there would be no source and we are in the\nrealm of the supernatural. Before I think of anything, it\nmust first have taken form in my nervous system.\n\n\nTherefore: answer to your question would be 'nervous system activity'

are you serious?! go to www.pubmed.org, type in 'brain'... I'm pretty sure you'll get in excess of 100,000 articles...

No, I am not left-handed.\n\nBut, take solace in the fact that the opposite side of the brain controls hand-dominance functions.  So, only left-handed people are in their right minds.\n\nHmmm, that means that you just received this response from a right-handed person that, scientifically, must NOT be in his right mind.  So, take my advice for what you think it's worth.

If you are a college student, check with your psychology department. Any developmental psychology videos would probably cover some aspect of brain development.  You could also look at medical references as well.  For a more general "get it now" type of thing you might want to just do a search using a P2P program limiting your results to videos.  Also, what age range are you looking for? The brain basically continues to physically develop until the late teens (17-19). Mental development, of course, is a lifelong process.

I am terribly sorry to hear about your friend. I hope he or she will get better soon.\nThe human brain consists of many different parts, the fact that your friend is in a coma does not tell us which parts of his or her brain is affected.\nI've found these links for you, hopefully the can help you understand more about how the brain is organized and how the different parts interact:\nhttp://www.waiting.com/brainanatomy.html (this subsite is especially about coma: http://www.waiting.com/comabasics.html )\nhttp://www.neuropat.dote.hu/anatomy.htm\nBest of luck to both of you.

Wow!  There are lots of theories.  \n\nYou should find these links quite helpful.  Sorry this answer may be a bit late for you but I hope it is helpful.\n\nHere are some good links.

I'm also writing a thesis,but in Theories of New Media, and I'm very much involved in Theories of Perception. Anyway, I use a number of books about psychoanalytical theory. In my opinion, Lacan and Deleuze opened some very interesting problems, how modern society pushes a persons' mind into schizophrenia/schizophrenic thinking and acting. The another interesting problem is, how computer-era influences person's mind. \nHope I helped :) Good luck!

(jesus H pogostick, another redneck using "The Bible" as a source for a rather useless "because God said so" answer to a serious scholarly question)\n\nThe brain doesn't "know", that's just the way it works. The way the image is formed in the eye is immaterial - every child that's born learns to make sense of the nerve impulses arriving at it's visual cortex all by itself without knowledge of the system supplying those impulses.\n\nYou could just as well ask how the brain knows to turn signals coming from various points along the cochlear apparatus (where soundwaves of different lengths resonate across it) into discrete, conciously perceived "tones", or those from different sensory nerves into touches, injuries and temperature (etc) perceived to come from various (occasionally incorrect - e.g. stiff neck headaches) body parts.\n\nA fish knows nothing of the water in which it swims, but it still natigates around well enough and "breathes" it without realising it's breathing a concentration of dissolved O2 in HOO (dihydrogen monoxide). Same is true for the brain. It just tweaks it all about until the world makes sense.\n\nIt's all tied in with conciousness and "the minds eye". Despite my opening statement, this is one area it's still ok to have some mysticism in as we simply don't know what causes it (other than the worryingly easy and seemingly sensible, but homonculus-baiting "its your immortal soul looking outwards")\nBut its gonna be fun finding out.

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!
