Art is the key element in symbolic function, what is necessary for memory investigation.



Kimmo Huosionmaa

When we visit in some art exhibition, we might notice, what kind of similarities some picture have between our real life, and what is saved in the pictures. The pictures are like triggers, what activates our memory blocks in the brains. This might feel like the artist has trapped the part of our life in the picture unless we know, that we ever meet this person in our life.


Or maybe the artist was walking down the same road and took the picture of us, and after the years this person will make the portrait. In this photo-cavalcade is the wood bite, what looks like the fish or the asteroid from another star. This kind of things will bring the memories of our past in the mind, and we can remember the fishing trips from the past. And the hands are the symbol of the making something. Do you know why the bad memories are the things what we remember first?


The reason why people have memory is that its mission is to protect the mankind. And when we see some pictures, they will activate memory blocks from the mind of the human. This is called as the symbol function in psychology. The picture activates also the creation-process in some people mind, and it will cause very intensive need to create something new. That is the reason, why some artists just focusing their work so hard, that they will not hear or see anything else. And there are stories that the artist continued the work, even the house will fall around this person.


The symbolic function is the very interesting thing, and it is commonly used in the education, and memory investigations. In the last case, the investigator uses pictures for activating the memory of the person, who is under the investigation. During that process, the investigator observes the target and the physical signals, what this person sends. Normally the investigator uses electrical equipment, what documents the body temperature and the activity of the nervous system for uncovering the truth.


Metering of body temperature will meter by the infrared sensor and the MEG-measurement, what are used for taking pictures of the person’s brain function and the flow of the blood to brain tissue. This thing tells if the person has a bad feeling or the target will be nervous. Those reactions will uncover if the person is humiliated in some place because if the victim sees the place, where the humiliation happens, will the body reacts to that picture because that picture will cause the reaction in the body.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
