always fascinated with the phenomenon that is the human brain, and particularly my own brain.
brain is the most complex organ in the human body. The brain is the great factory, all our thoughts, our actions, our memories, our feelings and our perceptions of the world. The gelatinous mass of tissue weighing approximately 1.4 kg and contains about one billion nerve cells, or neurons.
complexity of connections between cells is astonishing. Each neuron can make contact with thousands or even tens of thousands of others, through the tiny structures called synapses. Our brains create billions of new connections every second of our lives. Pattern and the strength of the connections is constantly changing and no two brains that make them similar to each other.
But if you think your brain is very organized, orderly, logical, and has everything under control then you're in a big error! In fact, very often, the brain is on the brink of chaos. In any event, my brain for sure. I was very happy when one day I found an article in New Scientist (01 April 2009) under the title "Our complex brains thrive on the edge of chaos". " All my life I was "chaotem" - my brain was. Chaotic thoughts, millions of ideas without the structure, the strangeness of galloping in the thousands per second, the execution of several things at the same time, lack of relaxation, the total inability to stop thinking of the brain (even if it's in a dream). 've Even reconciled to the fact that I'm not normal, that my brain is not normal. Until one day I discovered that the "chaotic thinking is rarely a recipe for success, but have found new evidence that actions on the brink of chaos, the brain can lead to amazing facts / possibilities http://www .newscientist.com/article/mg20127015 .000-our-brains-complex-thrive-on-the-edge-of-chaos. html. So there is still a chance for me!
And this (also from New Scientist) "Did you ever experience that suddenly appear out of nowhere, and strange thoughts in your head, causing even more strange feelings. Do not have a clue why this thing suddenly born in this particular accident and this particular time. Probably you are trying to find a rational explanation: these fleeting thoughts, though seem to be accidental, the product must be predictable and rational processes. The brain does not know yet randomness. When you process the information it works like a powerful computer, all processes are subordinated to the logical operations. Is not that so? Actually it is not so. In fact, the brain operates on the edge of chaos. And although most of behaving in an orderly and stable, then every now and then suddenly and unexpectedly pulls up in a blizzard of noise.
Neuroscientists have long suspected that so it must be. But only recently, they were able to prove that the brain works that way. (New Scientist, 29 June 2009 by David Robson)
Noise brain increases with age brain. This compares to an old television screen, the older the better similarity to the occurrence of wavy lines, śnieżności and distortions. How old your brain that generates more noise (07 July 2008, "New Scientist"). Is not it wonderful, the best machine in the world (OK, maybe only in our little world, the earth) is based on randomness, and needs and making noise.
brain, in particular, chaotic and loud my brain was the inspiration for a new series of My Brain. Until that time, 9 images (one is in New York, and 3 are on display in London). Images are chaotic, random, experimental and full of strange additives.
