Human brain structure changes in information society

The explosion of information takes place in the world in the last two decades, when the number of words and images that the human brain receives and processes daily increases many times, which can lead to changes. in human brain structure.

That is the recommendation of the world's leading experts in neuroscience, published on the British "Sunday Times" weekly newspaper on December 14.

According to the latest calculations by scientists, every person living in Western society modernizes 2.3 words per second, so within a day, that person's brain is forced to handle the mass believe in 34 GB, twice as high as 25 years ago.

Scientists warn that soon, the human brain is at risk of "overheating" due to too much information, which, as a result, will not be able to reflect the world accordingly.

Professor Roger Bon of the University of California emphasizes the consequences of increasing information flow as a radical change in the thinking process, as the process becomes faster, more superficial and and more fragmented.

Therefore, according to Professor Bon, the ability of deep thinking of people is weakening and this is causing increasingly serious consequences for the development of human civilization in the future.

Meanwhile, Oxford University professor Coleen Blackmore said that the flow of information helps the human brain grow faster and increase brain volume by producing more neurons. This enhances the brain's ability to process information.

A special feature of the human brain is that there is not only one, but at the same time there are several centers in the brain that are responsible for processing and storing information. Scientists believe that in the coming years, these parts of the brain will suffer the biggest changes.

However, no scientist can predict how this result will result and whether it will lead to the emergence of a new human variant, Homo informaticus instead of humans. Homo current sapience./.
