To say that

display the apparent complexity we observe,
without some proof, is disrespectfull of modern
mathematics which includes chaos and other
advanced mathematical concepts which we can,
amongst other things, use to explain seemingly
incredible levels of complexity.
Hmm... I disagree, aspecialy looking at theOriginally posted by LogicalAtheist
Sounds as though the implication is some kind
of "spirit" BS. Despite what the article says.
This means that while the brain is responsible for storing and retrieving memories, memory itself is not limited to just the physical brain. Other factors such as emotions, experiences, and external cues also play a role in memory formation and retrieval.
Yes, there have been numerous studies that have shown the impact of external factors on memory. For example, emotions can enhance or distort memories, and the context in which an event takes place can affect how it is remembered. Additionally, cases of brain damage or injury have shown that individuals can still retain memories despite physical changes in the brain.
This challenges the traditional view of the brain as the sole storage site for memories. Instead, it suggests that memory is a complex and dynamic process that involves multiple factors, not just the physical brain. It also highlights the importance of considering external influences when studying memory and understanding how it works.
No, memory still requires the brain to encode, store, and retrieve information. However, the brain is not the only factor that influences memory. Other factors, such as emotions and external cues, can impact how memories are formed and retrieved, leading to the statement that memory cannot solely reside in the brain.
Understanding that memory is not solely confined to the brain can help us better understand and improve our memory. For example, incorporating emotional associations or creating a specific context for learning can aid in memory retention. It also reminds us to consider external factors when trying to recall information or when experiencing memory difficulties, as they can play a role in memory recall.
