How do we remember?

No one can explain how the brain remembers information and how we then reproduce it. But we know quite a lot about the different types of memory and the methods that help us do it.

Memory is the ability to keep in mind everything we have learned and experienced. Everything that happens to a person is deposited on a kind of memory track. This record is not erased for a long time if it is constantly used or repeated.

There are several ways to remember. The first is remembrance. For example, if a few days after a party someone asks you who took part in it, you will try to remember their names and appearance.

Recall is different from recognition, another type of information storage. If you are asked if Bill Jones was at the party, then you may recognize this name as the name of one of those who were there. Or, meeting him on the street, you will recognize him as the person who was with you at the party.

Remembering is harder than knowing. If the teacher asks you to remember what was said in class last week, it will be harder to answer than if she named the subject and asked if it was already said.

There is visual memory. So, you may remember last summer vacation as a picture of a cabin in the mountains before your eyes. In the same way, you can hear music after the tape recorder is already turned off. This is called auditory memory.

Another type is associative memorization. When you experience something, it is usually accompanied by some other impression. Binding or association occurs, and when you remember one of the events, another one pops up in memory.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

4K format will become popular soon 01.05.2013

In a couple of years, 4K (Ultra UD) TVs will enter the mainstream category, that is, they will take the place that today belongs to Full HD TVs, according to Chris Cookson, president of technology at Sony Pictures Entertainment. His words are transmitted by Pocket-lint.

The company recently launched more affordable 4K TV models: the XBR-55X900A with a 55-inch screen for $5 and the XBR-65X900A with a 65-inch panel for $7. And last year, an 84-inch TV was released for $25.

Sony is the most active company in terms of promoting the new format. To date, it already offers over 100 films in 4K resolution. It also sells both 4K cameras and home resolution conversion equipment.

And this fall, the company plans to launch a video service through which subscribers will be able to watch popular films from the Sony Pictures film company in a new format.
