What happens to the information in our brains when we die?

Question

Is it extractable?

Answer 1

The brain is based more on the quantum computer concept than that of say, the digital system as in our current computers.  The quantum computer is a different kind of computing machine and is far more powerful than even our very best super-computers. Having said that, the quantum computer is based upon a different form of system logic, something called quantum entanglement.  The human brain itself operates upon something similar. That is the very reason that digital systems have not, as yet, come close to equaling the computing and storage capacity of the human brain. Now, quantum mechanics is major player in "all" matter and energy in the universe. To make the point, when we die, information is either lost as the biological brain stops functioning and degrades, or the quantum components of consciousness separates from the biology and becomes an element of something called universal consciousness. Personally, I believe that the universe is conscious on the quantum level. A type of consciousness, because of our biology, that we cannot directly be aware of. I believe that something does happen beyond death, but I do not believe that it has anything to do with a god / devil, or heaven / h**l; it has more to do with quantum mechanics than with anything else.

Answer 2

it dies with us. it is not retrievable.

Answer 3

very interesting question. Information in our brains is stored as connections between cells. Can it be extracted. Currently... no. Our level of technology isn't great enough, in the future? Biiiiig maybe. You see, the information in our brain is like... take a car to let me explain. we have connections from our eyes of what a car looks like, to places in the brain where the word is stored for car... which is connected to how that word sounds, which is connected to the ears, and the speech areas... which are connected to the muscles for how we move our mouth to make the sound car, which is connected to the higher areas of what a car is for, as in, car gets you places, car gets you women, car is dangerous, car is fast, car is big, car can be nice, car can be old, memory of car my parents have, memory of car my friend has... all of this is stored in this big circuit of connections. The only real way you'd be able to extract any information from a brain is if you were able to do a complete scan of all the connections, take everything they were connected to in that person as in taste, smell, sound, sight, touch, emotion, memories, and then reconstruct it all in something that could read all of those parts. which is WAY beyond our knowledge and capabilities today. Theoretically, it could be possible. Your brain does not fall apart the second you die. like all biological tissues, it takes time to degrade. The electrical signals would all still be there if you were to send electricity through them again.

You could possibly touch a part in the brain with an electrode, and have it shoot off everything it was connected to, but chances of hitting something you were looking for in specific, and reading it with the vision, motion, sound, taste, smell, emotion reader (which doesn't exist) would be VEEERy slim.

If and when this machine would be invented, you'd also be able to record dreams. but as I said this is ALL HIGHLY theoretical, and would be hard to put into practice. not impossible, but extremely difficult. As in, it would take more than one lifetime to finish it.

Unless you have it backed up on CD. It's gone. <}:-})
