Scientists have been
researching on the brain for centuries but it looks that this three-pound entity is still
challenging the brain scientists with its utterly complex and supremely
mysterious character. There are some unanswered brain mechanisms that need some
serious probe. Though the modern scientific research has not yet been able to
measure the depths of the brain, I invite readers’ opinions and ideas regarding
some of those unanswered brain mechanisms, which are established facts though
without any explanations in most cases or rather varied explanations for the
same fact. Your responses to the following questions would be much appreciated:
1. What is the reality
of thoughts and how and why are thoughts created?
2. Why do the two hemispheres
of a single brain have tremendously different characters?
3. Why do the opposite
hemispheres of the brain control the opposite sides of the body i.e. the right
hemisphere controls the left side of the body and vice versa?
4. Why does the brain
live in pre-occupation i.e. lives in thinking about the past events or the future
dreams and ambitions? Why does it not like to live in the present?
5. If thoughts are mere
virtual, spiritual and mental reality and not physical then: Why do they consume a huge amount of
the brain's energy? How do they create realities
when they are themselves mere thoughts and ideas?
6. It is a scientific
fact that the image of anything that we see is created upside down on our
mental screen. The questions are: Why do not we see all things in
the world upside down? How does the brain make us see things upright and why
does it do so? OR Do we really see things upright?
7. When we look at
different things like water, stone, oil etc. we know that these things are wet,
hard or sticky, even though the brain or we have not touched anything
physically? How does the brain know that something is hard, soft, wet, smooth,
rough, hot or cold?
