Tetris stimulates the hippocampus. I am really good at remembering where I’ve put things, even when the house is a mess. I attribute this to my many many many hours of playing tetris.

I’m still trying to figure out how one can know that one knows something.

Something similar happens when I see a gruesome or disturbing picture. I feel the “Yikes!” shock before I can articulate what I’m looking at.

I find this especially true when I walk into my apartment, as I know everything inside and out and nothing ever changes.

I notice that when I return to a book and try to find my place on a page I’ve been reading, if I just stop thinking my eyes will fall right on the spot I left off. When I think and search sometimes I go past the spot multiple times. Seems my eyes know better than my brain.

Ok, I am reading Arthur C. Clarke’s book written in the 60′s about brain tests that prove that the subconscious is aware of a decision before the conscious is.

This is his ‘fact’ book about future predictions of what we hoomanz will be doing in the year 2000 etc.

ummm…everything old is new again?
