Neuroscientific view on thoughts

In neuroscience, a thought is generally defined as a mental state or series of mental states with content, often involving personal attitudes or perspectives towards that content.

The minimum time it takes for a thought to occur can be very rapid, potentially within fractions of a second. Some studies suggest that a thought can be generated and acted upon in less than 150 milliseconds. This is about half the time it takes for a blink of an eye.

All thoughts created in the human mind are not conscious and some of them can be identified as unconcious thoughts, such as dreams and habits. Human thoughts are the basic ccreator of existence. Thoughts create a drive for action. A thought is generated by sensory information that is perceived by the five senses.This information directly or indirectly causes thoughts to be generated as a memory. According to medical science, there are also symptoms related to thoughts that occur in certain mental illnesses in psychiatry.Whether thoughts are truly conscious or unconscious has been a debate since ancient times. The thoughts we experience are primarily conscious. Are they truly conscious?the great neuroscientists who are experimenting about free will and precognition suggest that we have the experience of having concious thoughts.The true limits of freewill are problematic. Its scope is also difficult to determine. Scientists currently believe that the brain creates an primary experience of having freewill.

Pathological thoughts

In some of psychiatric disorders, thought problems are created. CD ( Obsessive Compulsive Disorders ) patients experience "obsessions" which are repetitive intrusive unwanted thoughts .Those really distress the patient and he try's to resist them but the generation of obsession is increased with the effort of resistance. In psychiatry what we advice to the patients , Remove your resistance and just allow the obsession to come to you.

Schizophrenic patients experience "thought insertion ,withdrawal and broadcasting and blocking" like thought issues. Here the patient doesn't identity the thought as his or her one. They experience it as given by outside to them.

Eastern philosophy 

In eastern philosophy they had identified the thought as the reason for everything. The action is built as a result of a thought. The action may cause good or bad to the out world and that process is named as "Karmaya".The thoughts are repetitively arose in our mind. The though cause us to be hear. To gain enlightenment , human needs to get the control of his or her own thoughts.

Consciousness

Stop! Take a moment and ask yourself, Are you Conscious? How do you know that you are Conscious? What is your idea about the highest level of Consciousness one can achieve for yourself? What is your definition of Consciousness? Since my early childhood, I have questioned myself how individuals' conscious manipulation exists and how our free will arises from it. Still, those are unresolved puzzles to humans. Here I expect to discuss the basic Scientific background and philosophical background behind "Consciousness." Science of Consciousness Scientifically, consciousness is defined as the state of being aware of oneself and one's surroundings, encompassing thoughts, sensations, and experiences, and is a neurobiological property of the brain. Vital areas for Consciousness If damage occurs to specific parts of the thalamus, or to a particular region of the brain stem, the result can be permanent unconsciousness. In addition to these parts, the cerebral cortex also contrib...

This was included in the stream of “ Paranormal Incidents .” What is   a Paranormal Incident ? The word consists of two parts: Para and Normal. The definition implies that  the scientific explanation of the world around us is normal and anything that is above, beyond, or contrary to that is “Para” . Scientific Overview Combustion Combustion refers to the process where a substance burns in the presence of Oxygen, giving off heat and light in the process. In chemistry, a fuel is a substance that, when burned (or combusted), releases a usable amount of energy, typically in the form of heat. This process involves a chemical reaction with an oxidizer, most commonly oxygen, where the fuel's stored chemical energy is converted into thermal energy.   In combustion, flame color is directly related to the temperature and the chemical composition of the fuel, as well as the presence of soot or other particles.  Blue flames indicate the hottest , most comple...

Pineal Gland

There are many unsolved areas in the mechanism of this anatomical area of ​​the brain. Some of these theses are still at the theoretical level, and due to the lack of scientific studies, we cannot gain full knowledge of the topic. However, here we try to get a basic idea by applying a foundation to hidden knowledge.   Your pineal gland, also called the pineal body or epiphysis cerebri , is a tiny gland in your brain that’s located beneath the back part of the corpus callosum. It’s a part of your endocrine system and secretes the hormone melatonin. Your pineal gland’s main job is to help control the circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness by secreting melatonin. In addition, it secretes Serotonin , N -Dymethyltriptamine (DMT).   Melatonin action Melatonin is a hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It  helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock) and with sleep . Being exposed to light at night can block melatonin product...
