Here is a quote of what I said on a different forum. I felt like making a topic about it and seeing what people think.

Quote:
picture that our brain is a radio, and all we can hear is all that we can understand and comprehend. We can understand things that we didn't understand in the past, just as we can hear things we've never heard before. Also, we can understand songs better in the future, even if we understand them already. Also, there are things we'll never understand, and never hear. So I think that all the things we don't understand are like different radio stations we just can't tune into. So also, I think Deja vu is just little samples of songs we haven't heard yet, and we wont understand the samples until we hear the whole song. Smile

007, very insightful and interesting. I upgraded my 'radio mind' to a full screen HDTV, with surround sound, and 3d capabilities, don't forget the satellite dish.

I get great reception. You otta try it! Laughing

What of the things we 'tune out' as we age? As our understanding of the world changes, and in many ways becomes richer, we are also limited in many ways by our biases and prejudices.

Some people have been given variable frequency oscillators (VFOs) for their radios, while others have a single frequency crystal.

Shortwave brains are good for line of sight transmission.

But longwave is killer for bouncing off the ionosphere at night and communicating worldwide.

Check your Standing Wave Ration (SWR) and your harmonics, that can really kill your signal.

Doesn't the brain emmit waves? I have been told that there is a frequency that our brain operates on, and that it is very very low. So low that the signal doesn't transmit beyond the skull. But I don't know. Maybe it's all sci-fi.

The brain does operate by electro-chemical reactions. An EEG can detect these and show whether or not someone is brain-dead.

Oh, I imagine just about everyone is missing some of the frequencies they could be receiving regardless of the equipment.

I think I'll just tune that out.
