It is indeed a deep mystery. But it has not been a major topic in neuroscience (...) Consciousness, as Freud said, is the tip of the iceberg. Important aspects of self & personnality, our emotions and motivations, and even aspects of our memory, operate outside awareness. Solving consciousness would be a great scientific feat - perhaps one of the greatest - but would not cure mental disorders, and would not explain who we are, why we are that way, and why we do what we do.

Far beyond consciousness to the depths of our unconscious brain, our mundane activities are carried out alongside our goals and dreams." Joseph LeDoux

]]> <![CDATA[Memory, Reconsolidation and Big Questions...]]> http://gamingandlearning.wordpress.com/?p=158 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 13:33:36 +0000 Alexandra Matthews http://gamingandlearning.fr.wordpress.com/2008/03/22/memory-reconsolidation-and-big-questions/ Orange_no_drawer_2 I am a big fan of big questions. I think that sessions like the Game Design Challenge and its "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" cousin - "The Great ILS Challenge"(scroll down, its #800), force us to ask questions about what we can do. I love the Learning Circuits Blog Big Question of the Month (BQOTM) and think that it has really spurred some insightful discussions that might not have occurred otherwise. I do have to say though that the BQOTM has a big brotherEdge_banner out there and it asks REALLY big questions.The Edge describes it's purpose as "To arrive at the edge of the world's knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves." The main way that Edge gets at these questions is ironically enough, through asking their annual question. You can see the past questions here, and if you doubt the bigness of their questions, past ones have included; What is your dangerous idea?, What's you law?, What's your question? and What now?
