The most difficult and biggest mystery in neuroscience is identifying the difference between thinking and remembering.

Is /sci/ capable of this?

>capable of anything but high school homework

I don't think so, Tim.

>> No.5694287

>>5694262

I challenge that assertion.

how?

>> No.5694300

remembering=thinking about the past

Nope. Thinking is the process of mixing memory through complex algorithmic processing to create "new " information.

>>5694262
By remembering to you mean committing something to memory or do you mean recalling something from memory?

>> No.5694320

>>5694319
aren't they the same?

LMFAO, THINKING THEIR DIFFERENT, DO YOU EVEN LOGIC? Thinking is stringing together memories and then replacing the strings that made them with the cohesive thought. That being said the strings conceive of the likeness of this before hand.

>>5694320
No. One is taking external stimulus or novel thought and memorizing it. The other is accessing this previously memorized information at a later time.

Hha retard, since when is some neck beard on /b/ qualified to say what the biggest problem in neuroscience is?

>> No.5694358

>identifying the difference

Remembering causes the re-firing of a specific sequence of synapses.

Thinking utilizes a variety of those "memories" for reference to infer and/or deduce a newly formed "thought."

I have absolutely nothing on hand to back-up these "claims."

Really? You must be stuck in the introductory courses. These things have been fairly well understood within the community for a couple decades now, and computing power is only increasing the speed of discovery.

Maybe you should just read more books instead of pretending you know things you DONT actually know.

>> No.5694389

>>5694358
Then why would you even post them.
Seriously.
You just told us you don't know what the fuck you're talking about; why would you even post your "opinion" if you know there's no reason for anyone to believe it?

/sci/ fucking sucks these days. Bunch of 15 year olds thinking they're smart because they can use wikipedia.

>> No.5694556

They're the same thing.

>> No.5694561

This might help ya.

"Recall or retrieval of memory refers to the subsequent re-accessing of events or information from the past, which have been previously encoded and stored in the brain. In common parlance, it is known as remembering. During recall, the brain "replays" a pattern of neural activity that was originally generated in response to a particular event, echoing the brain's perception of the real event. In fact, there is no real solid distinction between the act of remembering and the act of thinking"
