New Discoveries About The Human Brain


Lately, I have been reading this amazing book by Shad Helmstetter titled "What to Say When You Talk to Yourself". Here are some new discoveries which I find interesting from the book:
  • Neuroscientists have learned that the brain operates very much like a personal computer.
  • A computer has 3 basic parts: a "video" screen, a keyboard, and a program disk.
    • The screen visually displays what we programming into the computer. It also displays the results (words, numbers, pictures) we store or compute in the computer.
    • The keyboard is what we use to type in directions and information.
    • The disk is the recording tape onto which we record the information. Whatever we program or record onto the disk will stay there forever unless someone changes it.
  • A human is comparable to a computer in such manner:
    • The computer's video screen is comparable to our appearance and our actions -- what we "display" to the world around us.
    • The computer keyboard is the same as our 5 senses. Anything we hear, see, taste, touch and smell is "programmed" into our brain through the 5 senses.
    • The disk is the same as our subconscious mind. Everything we experience is "programmed" into our subconscious minds.

Here's the message:

Whatever we program onto our subconscious mind will stay there forever, unless someone (we) decide to change it.
