Weird thought

Post Reply New Topic

This is probably going to seem weird, but here goes anyway.
Been thinking about how thinking works – which parts of my brain structure are involved. Seems like my AS, literal, linear, single-track thinking has an anatomical correlate – it is based in one spot/system. The opposite would be like holography – a complete miniature representation of the thought located a 100’s or 1000’s of anatomical sites within brain-consciousness. Flexibility/creativity could come from integrating these pin-points of the thought. Anyone out there relate to this?

Yes
i'm obsessed with holography for many years
for the reasons u mentioned and many more
i share your view of it being a fundamental solution to many of the toughest paradoxes in our life
as it also solves the one to many complex relationship that are the cause of lots of our pains and frustrations
holograms transcends dimensions and as such may hold a key to the particle-wave duality

i also find it interesting that media display technology is going 3D and I'm sure the next step would be holograms
holograms,for the reasons u mentioned , are very good at memory storing and retrieving memory
and i think that even society as a whole is deveoping toward holographic shape
for instance
the internet had created an not so different situation from what u described because now days any person( a dot in the social dimension) can hold and link any information located at any other spot
holographic existence is relations oriented
meaning
the line and relations between the objects have the same weight or importance as the object themselves and i feel this is could be very accommodating to the autistic frame of mind
i can go on and on so i guess i do relate to your weird idea

Nara, thanks for your comments.
Another operational aspect seems to be neuronal plasticity (adaptability). Aspies may be too mentally flexible, making their self identify a moving target. I could try to explain it more but John Robison does a great job on his blog http://jerobison.blogspot.com/
BTW his book “Look Me in the Eyes” is a terrific, fun read.
Cheers

thanks for the link
some of the stuff there is surprisingly relevant to my life and I'm not sure if I'm too flexible but have heard too many times that my identity is impossible
guess it is moving compared to what an NT would consider a proper identity but in many ways it is much more stable and consistent
i just want to comment that in an multipathed holographic universe, speed,movement and event may have a very different meaning than the one they have in a 3D universe this is probably one of the reasons our behaviors and choices and identity appears so strange to the NT

OK, so putting things together to change the mental process. Aspies like me process from a single OC point of view causing boring, literal, linear lectures that alienate NTs. (The used to call me the “little professor” and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a complement.) Developing holo multi-point processing provides variety, unpredictability & creativity, making things a lot more interesting for everybody.

But how do you do that? This is where neural plasticity comes in. Evolving research indicates that antidepressants (SSRI’s) induce neuralplasticity see: http://www.nature.com/npp/journal/v33/n ... 1574a.html, and a whole lot of other articles you can find by searching plasticity / SSRI. (Interestingly SSRIs are being studied to enhanced motor recovery following stroke-induced damage to the motor cortex and I'm sure they will be effective.)

So what? Well looks like SSRI’s + mediation practice/mind training tapes = reprogramming toward more socially effective mental processing. I'm working it...

I suggest you give neural networks a look if you haven't already.

i wish i was a more flexable man in my plans, but as it is i cant really say being unflexable has done me wrong. its always been pretty kind to me

Literalness seems associated with the left hemisphere.

Flexibility seems associated with access to the right hemisphere.

Concrete Thinking - A style of thinking in which the individual sees each situation as unique and is unable to generalize from the similarities between situations. Language and perceptions are interpreted literally so that a proverb such as "a stitch in time saves nine" cannot be readily grasped. - http://www.waiting.com/glossaryc.html - Abstract Concept - A concept or idea not related to any specific instance or object and which potentially can be applied to many different situations or objects. Persons with cognitive deficits often have difficulty undestanding abstract concepts. - http://www.waiting.com/glossarya.html - http://www.sportsconcussions.org/
