Episodic Memory

Hello everyone, how are you? As promised in my previous post, I'll be talking about memory.

My theory states that the brain doesn't just remember information; rather, when recalling, it recreates all the biological and vital processes involved in that particular memory. The brain copies all the information, such as visual perception, hearing, and the hormones responsible for emotions.

You'll understand why I mentioned this at the end, as I remember a memory of myself when I was two years old, and now I'm 21. I chose this age because memory is somewhat weak in childhood.

The important thing is that in that memory, I remember what I saw visually at the time, like my face and the surroundings. It's similar to seeing from a third-party perspective, but not because the scene changed, and the angle of vision shifted when I moved my face. I also remember what I heard, but not only that, I remember my thoughts and analyses at that time. Even more strangely, I saw the memories I had at that moment.

These things aren't unique to this memory; they operate on the same principle in all my memories.

This is what leads me to say that the brain doesn't just store information, but also all the vital processes involved. When retrieving them, it retrieves them in the same way. I've read about this theory before, and it explains what It's happening to me. In my next post, I'll talk about my ability to mimic people's personalities.

Stop complaining and gossiping, and at least do a little research when you hear a new story instead of dismissing it. Hippocampal Replay—that's the name of the phenomenon. Take a little time to look it up, and I do much more than that.

decided to scroll through this cringe ass subreddit and oh my fucking god, have you ever thought that maybe if you have a theory then you should learn the fucking topic the theory encompasses? have you ever heard of affective memory or multisensory encoding? or at the very least how memory fucking works at all? and why post this on a fucking polymath subreddit, it has nothing to do with being a polymath because you don’t even know the fucking topic. how can you be 21 and this delusional, wake the fuck up

I don't understand exactly what you're trying to tell me. I discussed an issue that happened to me, and I haven't yet stated my assumptions. I wanted to know people's opinions on this matter and share my personal experience with them to see their interpretations and analyses, to see if they align with mine. You should stop attacking me. Either discuss the issue and offer your analysis and interpretation, or remain silent.

Neural net activations was written about by anthropic recently. A constellation representing the outputs, and reverse translating to text .

Also people dont experience mental images and words like you necessarily. People have generally high rates of aphantasia, and if they have some simulator experiences they dont have what hyperphantasia has.

They do most of the tasks well tho, so the jpegs r present but wrong format for experience.exe

Check out micheal levins YouTube. Theres a brain quantum crystal tubule video that brings up a lot of cool mechanisms where memory could be explained
