A very good morning to you MIKE

On 12 Feb 03 15:50 you wrote something about *analog - sound guys say*...

 MR> An interesting aspect of our brain is that it divided into many parts
 MR> that can operate somewhat independantly of each other.

Yes indeed..they even, at least partly, can take over functions from each
other if necessary.

 MR> Some parts are
 MR> physical and correspond with specific areas of the brain

Yes, in general, indeed.

 MR> but some are in some ways virtual.

Virtual brainareas ??? ....are you sure you're not on hallucinogetics ? :-)

 MR> For example we are all familiar with the autonomous system which
 MR> takes care of such things as heart beating, lungs, liver, etc. Then
 MR> there is our conscious and unconcious mind.

Yep,

 MR> One surprising aspect of the conscious mind is that it works in a
 MR> serial fashion.

The mind does indeed...but what dus this tell about the brain ?

 MR> Sometimes if one tries too hard to remember something you just draw a
 MR> blank.

Grinn...yes, I know...I alway go for something else to do...then it will
pop up eventually :-)

 MR> However, if you move on to something else instead of struggling
 MR> then the subconcious mind continues the search for you and some time
 MR> later brings up the result to conscious attention. It's really
 MR> uncanny! I use it often to match a face to name for example an old
 MR> movie actor. Try it.

Don't have to....It's part of my life already :-)

Greetingzetcetera, Thom
