Bashir F. BiodunNothing is as engaged as a retentive human brain as uncounted events is inhibited in it
About This Quote
The human brain is one of the most powerful in the universe, and it can be in a state of constant engagement. When in this state, we are constantly taking in information and retaining it for later use. The ability to remember events and details can be attributed to two things: memory and inhibition. Memory is when you essentially store something in your brain like a computer.
It’s when you remember where you parked or what song was playing in the radio when you were driving down the road. Inhibition is what inhibits the flow of information from your brain. It’s what prevents you from thinking about something when someone else is talking to you or when there’s a buzz going on around you.
Being engaged is a state of hyper-attention that enables us to retain information without being distracted by other things going on around us.
