This demo gives some ideas about how the human brain manages to remember events. With just a few lines of code, containing very little information, it generates something we perceive as a very detailed record of a highway trip at night. Even if we don't know exactly what tricks the human brain uses to compress information about places and events, this demo let's us imagine how some of it might be done. The human brai…

java script remembers events this way. Dont see how one can apply this to human brain..

How can the human brain remember hours of highway trips in basically 3 pounds of fat without using some tricks to convert the information in to geometric 3d shapes? The developer who created this demo also know how to do it the other way round, he can write javascript that generate simple geometric shapes and animated transitions in javascript that generates a pretty good rendition of a highway trip at night.

#15Wow. I can make sense of a little bit of the original source, but I wonder more how RegPack [0] works to compress it into that final submission! As a side note: I'm in college now and looking to propose an independent study on compression. Any suggested readings or algorithms I should look into? [0] https://github.com/Siorki/RegPack

#17How does this loop work ?Does this create an array where B,F,Z,D and i are 0? for(T=[B=F=Z=D=i=0];i<600;i++)
The block quotes provide containment.

Human memory is built precisely around remembering geographic locations, human faces and images[1]. The 'have I seen this before feeling' you get is your brain trying to match the demo location to memories ( my conjecture anyway )
