Chapter 932 A life of suturing
"Then what do you mean by 'memory is different from others'?"
"It refers to my entire life." Yan Zhichun said, "This is not a difference in one thing or a certain detail... but a chaotic difference over many years..."
"This..." Dr. Zhao lowered his head and thought for a while, then quickly frowned, "I have never heard of this situation in the real world, but that doesn't mean there is no way to explain it."
"Can this also be explained by medical knowledge...?"
"It doesn't count as medical knowledge." Dr. Zhao sighed, "Miss, whether you believe it or not, the memories in all of our minds are all false."
"Ah...?" Yan Zhichun and Jiang Ruoxue were confused at the same time, "Are they all fake?!"
"No, no, no..." Dr. Zhao smiled, "Maybe I said it too scary, but this is the actual situation. It seems that our brain helps us remember a lot of things, and it is stored like a library. We have many memories, but the reality is that every brain will make errors when storing information. If there is some unimportant information, or information that has not been observed by us, the brain will subconsciously ignore it. "
"Error...?" Yan Zhichun nodded, "Then what is the range of this error?"
"It's just some very small details." Dr. Zhao added, "What's interesting is that when we re-extract these memories, the brain will re-fabricate them according to context, logic and other factors, thus making the memory complete. ”
"What...?" Yan Zhichun was stunned for a moment, "You mean the brain has the ability to "self-repair" incomplete memories...?"
"Yes, "self-healing" is a good word." Dr. Zhao smiled, "Actually, the so-called "Mandela Effect" is the way the human brain regenerates past memories based on existing information and what has happened in recent years. Continuous rewriting makes many people think that their memories are confused, but in fact, most people in the world have wrong memories, but the degree of error is different. "
"This is too abstract..." Yan Zhichun said, "You mean that no one can trust their own memory... What is the difference between this and a madman?"
"No, no, no..." Dr. Zhao quickly shook his head after hearing this, "Miss, your view is contrary. It is precisely because our brains can repair memories that we can ensure that we do not become crazy."
"How to say……?"
"Well... let me give you an example." Dr. Zhao looked at the cans next to him and said, "I just remembered clearly that I took the cans off the shelf, but the shelf had a total of five layers. I just I remember that the can is in the middle, but I forgot whether it is the second, third or fourth layer. Is this easy for you to understand?”
"Yeah." Yan Zhichun nodded, "I can understand that. You only remembered to pick up the can, but you didn't remember the location of the can carefully."
"Yes." Dr. Zhao smiled. "My brain may tell me that this can is placed on the third shelf when I think about it a long, long time later. But in fact, is this can placed on the third shelf?" It doesn’t matter on the third level, it’s just to make this memory complete. This is the “reason” our brain gives us.”
"I still don't understand..." Yan Zhichun slowly frowned, "If my brain doesn't repair this layer of information, what will be the consequences?"
"Of course." Dr. Zhao replied, "Just compare it with a computer.
If our brain is a sophisticated computer, if the position information of the shelf is lost, whenever the brain recalls this incident, it will only tell you "you took the can from the void" because you did not go there. Your brain doesn't remember the detailed location. If it can't make up a reasonable reason, it can only tell you that it is "void" or "unknown", which sounds like a buggy computer game. If you read such incomplete memories every time, you will feel like you are crazy. "
Dr. Zhao's example was very simple, allowing Yan Zhichun to understand the principle of "memory repair" and even understand some things that happened to him.
"I seem to understand..." Yan Zhichun said, "Because there are a lot of gaps in my memory, so in order to prevent me from going crazy, my brain forcibly stitched these memories together. Although it looks very chaotic, But at least it makes sense...otherwise I will just recall myself constantly traveling through the "void"..."
She slowly narrowed her eyes, because Qinglong seemed to have said similar words in her memory, but no one expected that a lunatic like Qinglong would tell the truth casually.
"I guess this is the only explanation...?" Dr. Zhao said, "Although I don't know what happened to you specifically, "memory confusion" is entirely possible, especially some details..."
"It's no longer a matter of "details."" Yan Zhichun interrupted, "Dr. Zhao, what is the most exaggerated degree of repair you have ever heard?"
"I have seen people forget the existence of their family members directly." Dr. Zhao said, "What kind of memory the brain can repair depends entirely on the individual's needs. Some post-traumatic sequelae can also cause the brain to directly "repair" painful memories. The principle is the same. Each of our brains is "living" and will be repaired according to different situations or different states of the individual. "
Only then did Yan Zhichun feel that the doctor in front of him was really capable, but it was a pity that he had underestimated him at first.
"I see..." Yan Zhichun nodded after hearing this, "Thank you... Doctor Zhao."
Now she feels like she has connected all those chaotic memories together, including the time when she found her body in Aries' office...
At that time, Aries said something that made her care again:
"Why are you... now?"
Logically speaking, for some reason, I was "copied" earlier, which caused me to see my own body, and it exceeded Aries' expectations, so the other party said this.
Not only did this sentence make people feel strange, but it was also strange that Aries said "There is nothing here, you saw it wrong" several times at that time. There were clearly corpses there, so why did Aries tell such ridiculous lies?
He is an Aries after all.
Thinking about it carefully, this should also be a hint he wanted to send to his brain.
It's a pity that this hint didn't work, because seeing your own body is really impressive.
Even if she didn't remember anything else in the room, she would still remember her body lying there, so her brain hadn't repaired the scene.
"If I can repair it normally, I will connect the memories together..." Yan Zhichun murmured to himself, "If I can't repair it... I will feel like I'm dazed... It must be like this..."
Little did they know that while a few people were chatting, Chu Tianqiu was leaning outside the door, listening thoughtfully to the conversation in the room. "Then what do you mean by 'memory is different from others'?"
"It refers to my entire life." Yan Zhichun said, "This is not a difference in one thing or a certain detail... but a chaotic difference over many years..."
"This..." Dr. Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a while, then quickly frowned, "I have never heard of this situation in the real world, but that doesn't mean there is no way to explain it."
