[인지신경과학] 인지신경과학적 지식을 일상생활에 연관시켜 생각해보자.

Think about your daily activities or your favorite things to do and speculate how your brain (those tiny neurons) come into play in those activities.
structures and physical/electrical/chemical properties of the brain and oneself

           The activity that I love to do is playing the piano. Playing the piano is very dynamic activity and I really want to know what’s going on in my brain when I play the piano. So I list some of the questions and my thoughts about it.

           It is really surprising for me to detect both sound and visual notes at each time. I wonder how the neurons of auditory cortex and the visual cortex coordinate and as a result, make me detect those two sensations at the same time. Are those visual and auditory signals shaped like a lock or key (if it can be described as a certain shape) so they can be combined together?

           Continuously When I see the notes on the paper, I will distinguish those white and black dots and lines then think what they mean. And then I press the specific serial of keyboards, hearing sound of it, finally I can detect whether I do it right or not. Amazingly, not only I simply check the sound of notes but also feel beautiful tune. Beauty itself or feeling the beauty is very high dimensional problem, so how such simple neurons can make me feel the beauty of the sound of the piano? Is there a specialized space which detects and understands beauty? I think it is the problem of the function not the structure, so I suppose that feeling the beauty can be evoked by millions of neurons’ special forms of associations.

           Finally and suddenly, an idea come across my mind is whether the physical activity can be linked directly with the neuronal activity or not. For example, the action-playing the piano-is a kind of an outcome of busy neurons in which there can be sensory neurons, motor neurons, and inter neurons. But to play the piano, there should be also other body parts not neurons only. And my opinion is that activity of neurons can be the ‘content’ component of the physical activity not the’ process’ process.
