memory

There was an Australian psychiatrist, a devotee of Arthur Janov (of Primal Therapy fame) who was developing a theory along the cellular memory line as a result of his practise of PT. The late Dr Graham Farrant seemed more eager to be published than to help his patients, of whom I was one. As...

I know we all have selective historical memories. Cultures and countries have their foundation myths and focus on the good, etc. However, reading Al Jazeera and the Arab news, I feel that this has become a particular problem now with the conflict in the East/West. Here is a link to an...

A woo friend told me about a simple test whereby water was placed in two cups. One cup was subjected to a torrent of verbal abuse, then other was complimented and pampered. Then both cups were placed in a freezer. After a while the resultant ice was studied under a microscope. The pampered water...

Sue Clancy was a PhD student who challenged the idea of repressed memories in the 90's. She has written a new book I guess. This is a pretty interesting interview. http://www.reason.com/links/links120805.shtml

How do I check how much memory I am using and what is using that memory? This is Fedora 4 we're talking about.

I have uncovered at least a couple dozen DBPC studies that support homeopathy and about six that don't support it. The person in this forum states that water memory is disproven. I think that the evidence for water memory has been given new life by a few recent studies...

I need this,..... I think. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4539551.stm O.

Hello all, As you know that I am in search of 'how memory can be stored', I tried to read on internet. But it is too technical for me. I am therefore trying to translate it by discussing, here. I could notice few sites, which can be somewhat helpful in this regard:- Computer storage...

I just came across this paper which looks convincing. I don't know if there was any follow-up - does anyone know if the work was corroborated?

Hi.. Not sure if this is the right forum, since it doesn't deal with paranormal but with "junk" science. If it's the wrong place, please move it. Just ran into a fairly balanced account on the "repressed memory syndrome" over at Slate, which also touches on what scientific evidence judges...

Nugan Hand was one of those entities that you would think only existed in fiction, a book by John LeCarre, for example. It had it all, drugs, fraud, green berets, admirals, the CIA, international arms deals. What exactly was going on? I don't think we will ever know, but claims that it was a...

Back in September which is all of two months ago, the CIA's plan to derail the Iraqi elections came to light courtesy of Time magazine:- "The Bush administration has been forced to scale back a plan proposing a covert CIA operation to aid candidates, favoured by Washington, in the Iraq elections...

Kerry meets with the U.N. Security council. Or maybe not. Now if Kerry were writing on this forum, at this point, someone would be asking him to provide evidence to support his claim.

I think that's what it's called, I may be wrong, is that the term used for the proccess of finding something out and then "correcting" the memory later?

ABC has an article on False Memories. Now it discusses how using real photos can be used to help in the formation of false memories. The photos give the mind something to work with in building the false memory ABC article False memories are a special interest of mine. The phenomenon crosses...

Short-term memory test: http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/stm0.html This is a small example of why I think anecdotes are not reliable for use as evidence.

Quick question. If I was to put some PC133 memory into a motherboard that supported PC100, could I expect the memory to work correctly? Thanks!

From here Doesn't the fact that a brain 'on hold' for 19 years can 'start up' again as if the 19 years had not occurred seem to point towards the conclusion that the "physical" aspects of being human dominate our consciousness? To this guy, it still feels like 1984!! If we try to place this...
