Memory Definition and 309 Threads

in my physics class we learned about how batteries work. my teacher briefly talked about battery memory (how if you only let it discharge half way and recharge it and keep doing that cycle... the battery will think half way is empty) but he didn't give an explanation why. I'm somewhat familiar...

Is there any way of enhancing Video Memory of my Card in Windows XP ? It shows only 16 mb. Whereas in Windows 98 it shows 15mb. Wat happened to that 1 mb? Some one said it may be due to the latest drivers installed in XP. Is that True ?? Can we make any thing so that RAM can be shared...

How does the brain knows when and where to store memories—memories such as a car accident? And how does it know whether to place the memories in long-term or short-term memory? Plus doesn't one hypothesis called: long-term potentiation (or LTP) have any basis on how the brain is stimulated...

what exactly is a photographic memory and is it possible for someone to devolp it??

Stephen Hawking's excellent book, "Universe in a Nutshell", explains holography as a phenomenon of interference of wave patterns. Light from a laser is split into two separate beams, one bounces off the object and gets reflected onto a photo-sensitized plate. The other beam is reflected into a...

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've had physics. I can catch on quickly once pushed in the right direction but a friend is in a college level physics class that I once had and she needs help. I've tried to answer some questions but I don't know if my logic is right, or if I'm even...

I've heard it said that small fish, like you would keep in an aquarium, only have a few seconds of memory. If this is true, why do they develop patterns of behavior? I have two small fish one of them is a Red Molly (I think that is the name) that has developed certain habitual resting areas...

A scientific model why memory aka consciousness cannot reside solely in the brain: http://www.nderf.org/Berkovich.htm

if we had no memory, would we observe motion?? would we observe motion if we have no memory?? i.e. a ball rolling on a table -- if we had no memory at all, then would we be able to remember that an instant ago, the ball was a little over there?
