BRAIN SCIENCE FACTS

What is the purpose and function of your working memory?

The purpose of your working memory is to determine what information from all six of your senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell, and proprioception) and your habits (whose activators are stored in your long-term memory) is the most important at the moment in order to protect you from danger, by reducing pain and producing the most comfort and pleasure possible.

It is helpful to simplify the most complex three pounds of matter in the universe (your brain) by integrating the idea of your working memory with the overall concept of the global connectivity of your brain's structures and their functions.

You can explore how the new brain idea about your working memory relates to the new brain idea about your brain's global connectivity by momentarily focusing your attention on the following circular symbol and the #15 red arrow:

This circular symbol was created to convey a powerful visual image of the previously unimaginable coalescence of the many diverse and interactive physical brain structures that form the wonderful new idea of your self-manifesting holistic brain.

The symbol of 14 red arrows pointing toward the circle of human consciousness, depicts a conscious living human brain that is made up of many parts with a sum total of meaning that is greater than all of its separate parts.

Each of the 15 brain ideas in the image can converge and merge in your mind to produce the process of your self-directed neuroplasticity or, more simply, your mental force.

The awesome purpose of your working memory can be achieved by learning several specific thinking skill-sets that can strengthen your mental force.

The mental force exercises include the following:
    [1] Simplification exercises;

    [2] Manipulation exercises; and

    [3] Support exercises.
