You remember some of yesterday - but not everything. Human memory is incomplete, unlike digital storage. Why do we remember some experiences, forget others and sometimes form no retrievable memory at all?

Temptation can arrive through sight, sound, smell, taste, touch or memory. Sometimes we surrender; sometimes we stop just in time. But what brain-mind mechanism produces that struggle? Could Word or Excel ever feel tempted?

Selective reasoning: we notice evidence supporting what we want, fear or already believe - and overlook what challenges it. But what brain-mind mechanism selects, weakens or excludes information before the construction reaches conscious awareness?

Comfort zones are not always safe or good. People may feel “at home” creating and cooperating - but also bullying, deceiving, dominating or waging war. What brain-mind mechanisms create these patterns? A computer can describe comfort, but can it feel it?

I am a psychologist. What are you?
No neuron is a psychologist, nurse or judge. So how does brain activity construct “I am a…” as a meaningful identity - and who or what consciously recognises that identity as “me”?
The Tetra Theory explores this question

When two people face off, neither backs down and violence may follow. But what is happening inside their brains and minds? Can Neuron-A really confront Neuron-B - or are perceptions, emotions and intentions constructed in real time?

[D. Anthony Harvey @originofmind_hq]

Conflict surrounds us - between friends, families, businesses, religions, scientists and nations. But what does conflict actually look like inside the brain and mind? Can Neuron-A really fall out with Neuron-B?

Every trade-off poses a hidden question: what is looking at the alternatives, weighing their value and choosing between them?

AI can calculate options - but does it want security, love, status or justice?

Tetra theory explores the brain-mind mechanisms behind choice.

[D. Anthony Harvey @originofmind_hq]

Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort created when beliefs, attitudes or actions conflict.

Psychology describes it - but what brain-mind mechanisms make it rise and fall?

AI can detect contradiction - but can it feel the conflict?

A computer can process instructions - even delete data or shut itself down when programmed. But can it believe another computer is wise, trustworthy or right? What happens inside a human brain and conscious mind when Human-A believes in Human-B?

We readily recognise deception in others, but often fail to see it in ourselves. Why? What allows us to cling to a false view of reality, even when the evidence says otherwise? Self-deception is one of the most fascinating - and important - puzzles of the human mind. #Psychology

[D. Anthony Harvey @originofmind_hq]

If two people died - one who had never experienced love and one whose life had been full of it - could a neuroscientist identify which brain belonged to which? Or which slices of brains or neurons had love?

If not, where does love come from?

100 witnesses.
Same event.
100 different memories.
We know this happens.
But why?

Thanks for following :-)

Why do we talk? It's a simple question that opens one of psychology's deepest mysteries. Where do words come from? Where does meaning come from? And what really happens inside the brain and mind during conversation? Origin Of Mind #Neuroscience

[D. Anthony Harvey @originofmind_hq]

Millions have benefited from talking therapies such as psychoanalysis and CBT. But why should simply talking change the mind? What mechanism makes it possible? Origin Of Mind explores a new framework for understanding brain-mind interaction. #Psychology #CBT #Mind

[D. Anthony Harvey @originofmind_hq]

Why are some people relentlessly driven while others seem content simply to drift through life? If every brain is just a biological computer, why aren't we all much the same? Origin Of Mind offers a testable framework for understanding why. #Psychology #Neuroscience

[D. Anthony Harvey @originofmind_hq]

Can one neuron fall in love while another does not?

If not, where do love, joy, fear, curiosity and understanding come from? This short video explores why Origin Of Mind proposes a different way of thinking about the brain-mind relationship.

We all know someone like this... or perhaps it's us. I call it OUMS - One-Up-Man-Ship: the tendency to believe that what I think, own, buy or believe is somehow "best". Why do our minds do this? Tetra Theory offers an explanation. #Psychology #Mind #OriginOfMind #TetraTheory

100 people witness the same event.

Later, police interview them.

Why don't they all remember exactly the same thing?

A computer opens the same file years later unchanged. Human memory doesn't.

Why?

Origin Of Mind proposes an answer.
