I think that we are already making steps toward mapping out the brain so we can identify the chemical patterns that create and store memory.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Cognitive neuroscience is entering an exciting era in which new technologies and ideas are making it possible to study the neural basis of cognition, perception, memory and emotion at the level of networks of interacting neurons, the level at which we believe many of the important operations of the brain take place.
Through using our memory to its fullest we can unlock the vast reservoir of human potential that isn't currently being used.
But the newest research is showing that many properties of the brain are genetically organized, and don't depend on information coming in from the senses.
The brain is the cornerstone of virtually every facet of our lives. I wish we knew more.
Neuroscience over the next 50 years is going to introduce things that are mind-blowing.
We're not that far from being able to plant images, memories, and emotional states directly into the brain.
Studies by many labs have already started to identify specific circuits of neurons involved in normal cognitive function like memory and learning, as well as disease processes such as Parkinson's disease, depression, and autism.
Our understanding of the human brain can be dramatically accelerated if we collect and share research data on an exponentially wider scale.
I think that I cannot immediately see the route by which we should really understand memory and the workings of the brain.
We are able to find everything in our memory, which is like a dispensary or chemical laboratory in which chance steers our hand sometimes to a soothing drug and sometimes to a dangerous poison.
