Considering Brain in the Digital Perspective

In general, anything that does processing requires some inputs and produces some outputs. Our brain also does that. Its inputs comprises the following:
  1. visuals (video)
  2. audio
  3. smell (to my knowledge no digital form for this is invented yet)
  4. history of memory
  5. history of thoughts
  6. etc.

All these inputs might be in some of files, and what brain does is, for any given situation, pick up all such files, process, and simply produce outputs. The outputs are nothing but thoughts. The thoughts will become part of history of thoughts and will be considered as inputs next time.

This perspective opens up various other possibilities, which I will try to cover in the forthcoming blogs.

Happy Thinking :)

Is Every Happening in Our Life is Pre-determined?

If there is a possibility that brain simply processes given inputs (like mentioned in my earlier entry), and gives us thoughts/experience/emotions/etc, then it opens up another interesting possibility. Probably even for the future, all the inputs are already made, and our brain simply does a journey through all those inputs!

We can see it as a kind of some photo album in which, photos are arranged in chronological order. When we see the photos, we try to feel the moments in the same chronological order. Another example could be watching a movie. Sometimes we get engrossed to the movie so that we feel as if we are part of the happenings in the movie. Similarly why not even the life that we experience is also some kind of album and we simply journey through it?

In essence, everything is pre-determined; the inputs for our brain for our every thinking/feeling is already made; and we simply consume them.
