The critical dimension of memory engrams and an optimal number of senses
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This theoretical study uses a mathematical model of "memory engrams" to explore how our brains store concepts. The model suggests there's a critical dimension, like a sweet spot, where the number of different concepts we can hold is maximized, and it happens to be around seven, possibly corresponding to our seven senses.
