That Interesting Astounding Brain
There are number of habits of the brain that just might astound you.
To name a few:
Short term memory can only remember about 7 things (5 – 9 at most) and that is why the phone number is always seven digits.
Chartreuse is the most visible color since is places in the middle of the visible light frequency and as a result causes more receptors to fire.
Our brains aren’t all that great at probability tending to think more details make events more probable, when quite often they make them less likely since there are more items to complete.
There is a high probability that we will misremember past events, and quite easy to latch onto a suggested memory that never actually happened.
And as for remembering those dreams, the component of the brain that carries information to long term memory turns off during sleep and as a result dreams are not laced into long term memory. The only ones we tend to grasp and convert are the bits and pieces that remain in short term memory upon waking.
