Brain, memory and reading

Brain, memory and reading: how to become smarter and know more than others. #Cognitive In 2016, information appeared in the media about a very significant discovery: in the course of research by American scientists, it was concluded that the memory capacity of the human brain is 1 petabyte. Neurologists Terry Seinowski and Kristen Harris, studying how hippocampus neurons function, found that synapse accounts for approximately 4.7 bits of memory. According to Seinowski, this means that the measurements obtained increase the conservative estimate of the amount of memory by 10 times, at least up to a petabyte, about the amount of all text information on the Internet. And without the research of American scientists, it is clear that each of us, the owner of such a complex organ as the human brain, has great potential for development. A person can read thousands of books in his life, learn at least a couple of dozen languages ​​and assimilate a really large amount of information.  Howe

 Physicists have announced a breakthrough in quantum holography. #Cognitive #Physics Physicists at the University of Glasgow have announced a breakthrough in quantum holography, which allows you to create crisp and detailed images while removing interference from unwanted light sources and other external influences. The method is predicated on the quantum entanglement of photon polarization, when the properties of particles are interdependent, despite the space separating them. The article of scientists was published within the journal Nature Physics. The breakthrough research is summarized during a handout on Phys.org. In conventional holography, a picture of an object is most frequently created employing a beam , which is split into two beams, called the thing and reference beams. The object beam expands and illuminates the topic , being reflected then hitting the plate . The reference beam doesn't touch the thing , is reflected from the mirror and also falls on the
