“Event Boundary” The Reason You Forgot What You Were Just Doing. Our Brains Function Like a Bitcoin.
<h2>We have all walked into a room then the second we step in we forget why we walked in there. Or maybe mid sentence your mind goes blank.  It’s such a real thing it has been studied and named.</h2>

https://s4.postimg.org/g2sb60glp/brain-imaging.jpg

Let me please break down hundreds of pages and thousands of words into something the average brain can keep in a certain place for future reference. 

**The gist of it is simple.**  We humans easily find ourselves in **“a state of mind”** , you know that feeling where you’re in the “the mode” of something in particular.   Well, our brains also keep information stored safely in compartments.  Each compartment is tied to a feeling and that feeling was probably created in a certain setting like say… a room in your home.  

http://cdn.thealternativedaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/state-of-mind.jpg

You're chilling with your friends watching TV and chatting about life.  Suddenly someone says "*I feel like eating popcorn”*.   You’re having such a great time in the living room with your friends you say *“YES, popcorn is perfect right now.”*  You get up and go to the kitchen to find the bag to throw in the microwave.  

https://cdn.meme.am/cache/instances/folder669/500x/76795669/willy-wonka-walked-into-a-room-and-forgot-why-you-went-in-there-thats-god-playing-the-sims-he-just-c.jpg

By the time you get to the kitchen your mind frame has changed so much from the room with friends and atmosphere to the kitchen you're brain actually changed modes, it started saving information in a new compartment, like a new BTC block.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ato_UF4NeIc/maxresdefault.jpg

All blocks are accessible, all the info you absorbed, like the idea to make popcorn is still there, it’s just in another block,  or for instance, another thought process, like a compartment, ***the room you just left.***

See, switching rooms is like switching thoughts when you are in a certain mode then forced to change.  Good news is, all the info is stored in the block chain or the path of your thoughts.  Just take a moment, try to think back to why you went to the kitchen and it will probably come to you in a moment, if not just ask anyone else if they ***"want another beer?***

http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/i/200001-300000/220001-230000/220001-221000/220590.eps/_jcr_content/renditions/220590.jpg

**No, but seriously**.  The friends in the room you just exited 5 seconds ago are still in that mode, they are still living that same thought process so feel free to holler at them ***”Why did I come into the kitchen?”*** After a couple seconds of *complete understanding* laughs they’re going to reply *popcorn you knob*, knowing we’ve all been there and will be again soon.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-g86oWKx74w4/TYWrSjyP4qI/AAAAAAAAAFw/AEpTr6FweDs/s1600/old-friends.jpg

Most of the studies pertaining to this are credited to **"Gabriel Radvansky”** who should be legendary for figuring out this incredibly ***normal psychological phenomenon***.

This needs more attention 

The difference between your brain and Bitcoin is the collective ability of the coins, or compartments in our brain, the compartments are the Bitcoins, the BTC uses computing power our brains don’t have to connect to those coins/compartments more easily because they don’t get distracted when the scenery changes. 

http://www.ericrettberg.com/datacultg2/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Human_vs_Computer.jpg

So the next time you suddenly lose your *train of thought* just think about the feeling you had in the last setting you were in.  The chain of events and thoughts will click just like the ease of trading a BTC.

Nice post @solarguy!

I had a quite interesting subject to add, but when I started reading the coments suddenly noticed I forgot it! 

Weel, I took a moment, like you said, and after that did an "eye scan" on the post, so it came to my mind again: it reminds me mentalists/mind tricks that are used by people like those Derren Brown to mislead their "victims" in giving him their wallet or accepting blank paper as real money. 

Really interesting subject!

I always get scared when I forget why I came to the kitchen. Or even why did you leave the house :)

I've heard having a kid rewires the brain for women. Now that I have a baby I feel like this happens to me a lot. My memory is so full of bottle schedules and keeping track of baby laundry, toys, routines, etc. that I forget other things easily now. I lost my phone 8 times yesterday. Couldn't find my glasses and they were on top of my head. I never use to do stuff like that.

Your brain is getting rewired now for sure.  How could it not?  You always going to have a part of it attached to your baby no matter what else you're doing.  Though I do expect it gets easier over time.  I look forward to hearing what you lose next.  ^^

I used to forget things a lot but now I forget things less. Once I start using the trick you just explained I might not forget at all. Thanks
