Neuronic Information

If memories are only neuro-coded information of the measurements of wavelengths, which your senses receive (and consciousness is only accessing that coded information), then how is the information divided between neurons? In order to allow so many combinations which are required for consciousness?

If any particular memory is a combination of neurons, but some portions of that memory are divisible in order for that portion to make an alternate combination, then those potions must be separate neurons. Any portion of a memory which can be remembered or thought of separate from the memory, or related to another memory must be at least a separate group of neurons. So basically any specific part of a memory that you can focus on and be conscious of, must be separate neurons, for the potential to access those neurons without the rest of the memory.

That which dictates the portions of memories that are saved to separate neurons, is that which you are conscious of. If you focus (ie. virtually, consciously accessing particular incoming information being saved in neurons) on any aspect of what you are currently sensing, then the most specific aspect which you focus on, must be saved as separate neurons. Being saved as separate neurons is the only way that the specific detail (of what you focused on), can be accessed separate from the rest of a memory (or that which you are actively sensing).

Taking sight for example, you can physically focus your eyes on something, which is likely to make the detail of what you’re focusing on be saved to separate neurons, but you can also consciously focus on something different than the detail that your eyes are physically focusing on. You can physically focus on a point, but mentally focus on detail that is off to the side of the point that you are physically focusing on. When you are mentally focusing on the detail to the side, your brain is likely actively accessing that particular detail of the information, as its saved. Since you are mentally more focused on the detail to the side, your brain is likely prioritizing that detail for separate neurons, even rather than what you’re physically focused on.

Considering all 5 basic senses of the human body, that are constantly sending information to the brain, to be coded then saved, the brain likely needs to prioritize which information is saved with the available neurons.

Mental focus, is that prioritization of neuronic information.
