Brain Teaser Poem by J.C. Tribble, III

Brain Teaser



I believe...everything we ever thought, seen, heard, or otherwise experienced is locked in our brains. I suggest that there is no such thing as long-term / short-term memory, but varying degrees of burn-in. Just like a LCD TV if you leave a Flatscreen on with a static image long enough the image burns into the screen itself and leaves a sort of a memory image. Those of us from the Eighties are familiar with this happening on Pac-Man and Centipede screens at the arcades [actually CRTs]. Everything including the first synaptic fire offs - and consequent 'burn-ins' - when we were in our respective mamma's wombs.

This is not a new concept. People have been trying to introduce this in court systems through hypnosis for decades. But that still takes some interpretations.

How about a device that can sense and burn-in synaptic fireworks on an atto-amp level and store it as a chemical series of codes-bundles in exabits [Eb]. Maybe this chemical is a sort of DNA chain that follows the millions of nerve routes and sorts and transmits these images through a supercomputer no bigger than a bottle cap which is connected to your TV. This way when your significant others ask you, 'Whatcha' thinking? ' You can just twist the cap to your head like a BNC and show them.
