Can we remember pain?

It is not just the pain that we can not "remember" this feeling. We can recognize ourselves as to how pain should be, how red it is, and what kind of smell the rose smells (as a spiritual model), but as we actually do You can neither see nor feel or smell. Even if you actually experience it

Neurologists (in this case Metzinger et al.) Think that this is the result of how our nervous system develops. We are not supposed to memorize our direct memory feeling (which is too high), we are remembering the ability to mentally recognize them.

For example, after changing the visual input, such as switching from a red square to a blue square, the color will be recognized immediately and you can recognize only the red square instead of paying attention ("Memory" Within). To stimulate this). Just like watching a blue square you can not close your eyes and "imagine" a red square.

Let's see again. Suppose you are seeing a blue rectangle, when you notice it, the red rectangle switches to a very different shadow and you are asked to see the red rectangle again. If the color change is small, no one can tell the change. Diana Luffman confirmed this through experiments and we can not recognize subtle changes between two tones of one color. When arranging two colors side by side, since it is different from most people's eyes, you can use visual recognition that colors are different. When presented one after another, torture becomes impossible (this is the most important point).

This suggests that the original premise is that it does not store content that human beings (and other animals) directly feel memorized, or the "cross time identity standards" that Metzinger calls. We will not store anything beyond that moment (over time). It does not intentionally preserve the specific shades of red (99), red (97), red (52) just as you do not save the actual "online" pain, but red (99) When arranged in red (97)

TL; DR; - Direct recognition is not costly because it is a costly operation. Classify what you recognized (perhaps in state space) and immediately discard the "online" part of our experience as soon as your attention changes

For those who complete data mining, this cognitive "recognition" occurs mathematically in the n-dimensional state space (philosophical: state space semantics). These configurations are concentrated in convex form in this state space and express various kinds of experiences. A similar configuration of neural discharges is thought to provide a similar experience, but different configurations will result in different subjective experiences.

The important thing to remember is that the pain is subjective. It is clinically measured by self-reported pain assessment. It is said that women feel pain more strongly, but this is also a self-declaration. We also know that about 20% of women are said to have extreme pain called dysmenorrhea - and the pain is intense enough to hinder everyday life. It is also true that patients in hardcore times rarely talk about it, or that this is why they are lacking work. In the survey in 2017, 42% of women said that pain over time has an impact on work ability, 53% answered that there is pain time, but still worked. One third of women said they missed work due to bad times. Only a quarter of those who confess their reasons to their bosses. In other words, in most cases, women hesitate to tell their boss about their pain during that period, or why this is missing a job.

For some people, I understand that usernames are a great way to show you your identity. But for most people, they are painful thoughts and painful memories (or unicorn__jizz, they are unforgettable). I would be pleased if you could use your profile to let others know about your interests.

For one reason, Advil's commercial portrays a group of people with harmful looks on their faces as they caught parts of their body causing their pain. In this way the audience can remember headache, toothache, back pain and pain. When the observer remembers this pain, they purchase the product to leave the pain
