If only we could add sticks of RAM into our heads to help us with memory problems. The electrical signals that occur between neurons should be able to be stored in RAM chips.

A Daily Galaxy post last year, <A href="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2007/06/the_importance_.html">The Importance of Being Forgetful</A>, featured the built-in neural process of forgetting, which discussed why the average human brain is equipped with the ability to filter through seemingly irrelevant details. While the average person may not have vast memory resources, it appears to be an evolutionary trade-off that allows the majority of us to focus on the most relevant facts.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/03/does-the-human.html"><P>However, some of the most incredible minds on Earth lack this ability
to filter irrelevant facts, or perhaps it is more accurate to say that
to a savant, the irrelevant IS relevant, and incredibly so. Somehow
their brains are able to store and access incredible loads of
information, even perceiving and relating to this information in an
entirely different way.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8A82E2D0-D9A9-459A-B831-F45BC969CD7E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
