3/2/2023 0 Comments Eidetic memory definition![]() David Fĭoes our utter failure to define love suggest that love is in a different category than other conditions/emotional/cognitive states? Or is it forcing us to recognize that our characterization of other conditions is too rigid, and should be more based on patient self report? Would we be transitioning to a more "floofy" form of science if we reduced the rigidity in classifying such conditions as depression/anxiety? I think that we should take into account the patient's personal, subjective experience more so than we do now. What difference can we define between that vague, (("floofy")) thing we call love and the HARD SCIENCE thing we call brain states?. This returns us to the question of irreducibility, but in a way that may appear more palatable now that we're dealing with love instead of religion. ![]() Like the concept of love, the brain states of love share some vague sense of similarity, but cannot be defined by any precise mechanism or pathway. It looks like the question of love brain states becomes an analogue of the very question of love. We all have personalities, but we don’t have the same one. It interacts between biology and the environment, among other things. Personality isn’t localized to one area of the brain. If there are infinite ways in which to fall in love, and love someone, why even bother trying to confine something bigger than any one definition? Maybe love is more like a personality. It's defined by thinking you are- upon further consideration, I would say that is wrong. My initial reaction was that if someone says they're in love, then they are. Many wouldn't hesitate to tell a 13 year-old girl who has been "dating" a boy for 5 days that she's not actually in love.

Popsci, 2009.Is there such a thing as photographic memory? And if so, can it be learned?.Does photographic memory exist? If so, is it possible to learn to have a photographic memory? Given this trait’s apparent link to autism, might eidetic memory be an example of cognitive compensation for loss of other abilities? What are the implications of discovering a protein for enhanced long-term visual memory? How might this be abused? For example, recent research indicates the role of a particular protein in long-term retention of visual stimuli in mice. This phenomenon has encouraged researchers to delve into the underlying mechanisms of photographic memory. Furthermore, there is scientific evidence that bees use photographic memory for navigation and recognition of particular flower shapes. Eidetic images can be recalled for up to many years. ![]() This is a rare ability that is more commonly found in autistic individuals as well as children. The mental image maintains all physical qualities such as spatial organization, color, texture, etc. Neural and Behavioral Sciences Senior SeminarĮidetic memory (photographic memory) is the ability to accurately reproduce a scene in one’s mind. ![]()
