With experience comes information. This experience need not involve actually doing anything or interacting with the physical world. You can sit in a recliner and acquire new information just by thinking or remembering your past. You can even gain information while asleep. (see below) You can also reprocess old information in new ways so that it becomes new information. You can perceive change in yourself and your environment and this too is new information. How does new information emerge from nowhere? Isn't time itself the creation of new information and new facts and novel patterns? What accounts for the evolving trend in time to become increasingly informative and enlightening? And where does all this information go when no longer thought about? "During sleep, humans can strengthen previously acquired memories, but whether they can acquire entirely new information remains unknown. The nonverbal nature of the olfactory sniff response, in which pleasant odors drive stronger sniffs and unpleasant odors drive weaker sniffs, allowed us to test learning in humans during sleep. Using partial-reinforcement trace conditioning, we paired pleasant and unpleasant odors with different tones during sleep and then measured the sniff response to tones alone during the same nights' sleep and during ensuing wake. We found that sleeping subjects learned novel associations between tones and odors such that they then sniffed in response to tones alone. Moreover, these newly learned tone-induced sniffs differed according to the odor pleasantness that was previously associated with the tone during sleep. This acquired behavior persisted throughout the night and into ensuing wake, without later awareness of the learning process. Thus, humans learned new information during sleep."---http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v15/n10/full/nn.3193.html Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
its true man....When you sleep on a though or a particular theory....you feel like you researched the issue the whole night when you wake up
