What else can I help you with?
Is your brain awake when you arent?
No, the brain is not actively "awake" in the same way when we are asleep. However, the brain is still processing information and carrying out essential functions during sleep, such as consolidating memories and regulating bodily functions.
How many thoughts can the human brain carry out per second?
Although the question appears to make sense, the questioner has not defined what they mean by 'a thought'. And does s/he mean 'conscious thoughts', 'unconscious thoughts', or both? Mind you, with our current level of technology, and knowledge about how the brain works, it is in any case more or less impossible to give a definitive answer. So here's "an" answer, which may or may not be relevant, depending on what the person asking the question had in mind: For example, about 10Mbits of information are transmitted along each optic nerve PER SECOND. But is transmission speed the same thing as processing speed? Research reported on the MIT website indicates that under certain circumstances, one measure of processing speed has registered as few as 60 bits per second. And on the other hand, the researcher has made it plain that he was not testing for the maximum processing speed across a variety of tasks. So we cannot assume that his results were representative of brain processing in general. An estimate on the University of Alberta website suggests that the average "clock speed" of neurons in the brain is a mere 200 firings per second - compare that with the clock speed of even a cheap desktop computer in 2010. But that's only part of the story, because the brain of an average healthy human being includes around 100 billion neurons, all connected to something like 1000 (or more) other neurons. 100 billion neurons all firing around 200 times per second gives a capacity of 20 million billion firings per second. Having said that, brain scans show only specific areas of the brain operating at a measurable level of activity at an given time. But does that necessarily mean that the other areas are doing nothing? What it may show is that the DEGREE of activity is related to the nature of the task, and therefore will be variable throughout the day (and night). So like I said, the question makes sense. But that doesn't mean we can give a nice neat answer right now.
Why brain is not involve during reflex actions?
A reflex action or reflex arc bypasses the brain as to decrease transmission time from detection to response, i.e. the time it takes for the body to initiate a response in relation to the effecting stimulus. This decrease in time allows for minimal damage to tissue or surrounding cells which may be affected by a certain stimulus.
Is a person's reaction time controlled by the brain?
Yes, a person's reaction time is controlled by the brain. The brain processes information received from the environment and sends signals to the muscles to respond accordingly. Faster reaction times can be influenced by factors such as practice, genetics, and overall health of the brain.
Do you kill brain cells when you hold your breath?
Yes, holding your breath for an extended period of time can result in a decrease in oxygen to the brain, which can lead to brain cell damage or death. It is not recommended to hold your breath for long periods of time as it can be harmful to the brain and other organs.
How do dolphins get oxygen when sleeping?
Dolphins only sleep using half of their brain at a time, so they will still be above water and conscious of what they are doing when half of their brain is asleep, so they will still be breathing
What are thoughts made of?
Its all electricity in a nueron in our brain. But the complex question is, how can electricity form what we see and store it in our brain for a life time. Electrons would have to be very smart. Wave links form houses, they form sound, smell. But we can not see our thoughts under a microscope. Thoughts area invisible but, energy is visible in waves. I believe thoughts area stored and transferred there Cartesian dualism.
Were Leonardo's thoughts on science accepted during his time?
Not many knew about them at the time.
Is your brain awake when you arent?
No, the brain is not actively "awake" in the same way when we are asleep. However, the brain is still processing information and carrying out essential functions during sleep, such as consolidating memories and regulating bodily functions.
How many thoughts can you have at the same time?
It's called "A Train of Thought" for a reason. Anytime you get more than one on the same set of tracks, "Someone's losing a caboose"! :-) Personally, I have been able to accomplish 1/2 thought at the same time!
Does the brain create consciousness?
The brain does not create consciousness, yet to some extent it creates thoughts within the realms of consiousness. Even a person in a coma might have conscoiusness. Read the recent article from time site
How many days do unborn babys get a brain?
They have a brain the whole time; as a matter of fact, they get to keep it!
How much time it takes for patient to become conscious after brain clot surgery?
There is no time limit for such surgery. It could be 3 - 8 hours (generally no more than 8 hours.) It depends where the blood clot is and how difficult it is to contain.
Does whales sleep?
Yes but ...Because of their undersea environment, whales and dolphins have to actively decide when to breathe - they are conscious breathers.As they have to be conscious to breath, this presents a problem for them to sleep and they solve this by letting one half of the brain sleep at a time and in this way, the animal is never completely unconscious, but it still gets the rest it needs.
How many times has Jocelyn been on Brain Surge?
Jocelyn has been on Brain Surge one time.
Is your brain more active at night or day?
the brain is more active during the day because of thoughts,memories,and "brainfarts". these mostly happen during the day after a long period of time. such as if you write, you mostly see mistakes after a few days.
How many chunks of material can the brain process at one time?
Alot.
