Conversations: Reading Mind

Psychophysiologists talk about the process of information transfer, and the mysteries of the inner structure of the brain.

In what language tells the brain? Can you decipher the nerve cells talk to each other, and the language of the brain, to translate into human language? "Talking" Do us a brain and whether the individual brain cells help us in understanding the principles of functioning of the brain, that is in the "reading" of the brain.

The story told by one neuron. It refers to the process of perception, common misconceptions about how the brain works, and the reasons for the activation of certain neurons.

Standard neuron impulses is the input of some of the ions inside the cells and ion yield from it. These signals, which are essentially chemically and constitute the information exchanged between neurons. Neurons can exchange signals not only among themselves but also with the bloodstream and glial cells. At each level, considering the concept of "information" is their understanding of what it is. We can not say that someone sends information to your brain, your neurons, because in this case we are talking about moving data from one level to another, and the notion of "recipient information" is completely lost.

We are really in a position to interact with the world, but most of the receptor cells, from which presumably we starting our acquaintance with the world is not able to generate action potentials, but also exchanging chemical signals. The objective understanding of the brain, in my view, is to understand the patterns of organization of the activity of individual cells. And if we establish such patterns, we can come to the answers to many questions, in particular, that is the perception, understanding, thinking, willful desire or intention.

In what language speaks the brain. We can not put into the brain through the photographic physical world. We all crumble to retinal level, although there are photosensitive cells that are in any way capture the light and the brightness of light sources. But on the retina of the optic nerve is in which only one million nerve fibers in the eye while pixels 126 million. As the optic nerve running nerve impulses. There is no physical possibility to transfer the image in the brain of depth, but even if we had it passed, the brain no screen, behind which sits the operator and it examines. The fact that the image is reconstructed anew, and every one of us does it in his own way. We are the artists of all that we see. This is not the real world, we will finish building it. To help our brain we can with nootropics: Nootropil, Semax, Picamilon and Cerebrolysin.

"Subjective phenomenon" is rather than due to the uniqueness of the senses, and when our mind will be read and will be fully controlled. The book by Rita Carter «The human brain», which was released in 2008, there is a surprising remark to the effect that such a memory: "Remembrance - it is a synchronous activation of the neural group that was active at the time when the memory or knowledge is acquired. "And in this sense we can say that all our neurons anything stored. But when we say that we have something to remember - this means that some specific group of neurons is now generated the action potentials. And we call this memory, causing the neurons generate action potentials.
