A recent scientific study suggests that Ammon's century, that part of the brain, may act as a video editor and filmmaker for our lives, cutting and synthesizing our experiences and ongoing experiences into parts that can be stored in our memory.
This is the idea that the study suggested, and analyzed data on brain scans from people who watched movies, such as Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump.
"Research like this research helps us determine what is happening from the point of view of the brain," said Professor of Memory Psychology at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, Gabriel Radvanski.
Radvanski said that many laboratory tests related to memory involve sections of vague lists of information. A lot of research is done using these small sections, such as words, pictures, things of that kind or shape, "adding that the dry tales are not what Usually treated by the human mind, "the brain was built to deal with complex events."
In real life, the researchers used data from previously collected brain scans as part of a larger project: During MRI, 15 people watched Forrest Gump, while 253 watched Alfred Hitchcock's "Bang! You're Dead" While a third group of 16 people saw the film and the series, and asked them to press a button to indicate when they thought that an event would end and another event would begin.
With this information in the hands of researchers, the cognitive neuroscientist, Kia Ben Yakoff, and Rick Henson of the University of Cambridge, combined brain activity with participants with those transitions from the third group (the group of 16 viewers).
"Ammon's memory and trend-keeping century appears to have been particularly active in these transitions," the study's team, published in the journal Neurology on October 8, said.
When experts looked at the behavior of the Ammon, while watching the whole show, it was more active when viewers pointed to shifts between scenes, according to Science News.
However, the study suggests that the shifts did not always include leaps of new places or time in the story, but in one of the approaches, it was at the beginning of the film Forest Gump, when he was sitting on a bench and suddenly moved to the famous welcome phrase "Hello .. My name Forrest Gump .. Forest Gump. "
At this point, Ammon may have been cutting the scene at this moment, linking the seat scene with two other events, both before and after the talk. Such a division could help gather information in a single set of parts that could later be stored as memories, .
Of course, films are an initial approach and it is not known how the behavior of a century of ammon works when one is personally involved in or involved in an event. The aim of the study is to understand real life.
