Chapter 4 Simulated Memory
Just imagine, just by watching an Olympic gymnast in action, he can do exactly the same difficult moves. What a powerful ability this is, it can already be regarded as a superpower of European and American comic heroes.
Alex suspected that he had that ability, after all, the situation he had last time was similar to the description of that ability. There may be some limitations, or there may be specific stimuli required to trigger that state.
"If you can have the ability to look at it, then you don't have to learn anything in the future."
Alex, who has always been lazy, has this kind of idea. He is not a diligent person, and now he is so active in exercising, he just wants to take shortcuts. It is said that this world is driven by lazy people. When there were no ships, everyone else swam honestly past, and only the lazy would find a way to build a ship.
Alex is a lazy man, and every time he does something, he tries to find a ship, or simply builds his own.
During these days, Alex slowly groped for his abilities. At first, he couldn't control the fragments of memories he wanted to recall, but after sorting them out, he was able to extract the memories he had experienced at will, and watch and listen to them at will. As for going further, touching and feeling, he hasn't reached that level yet.
Now he is facing these phenomena that cannot be explained by science, and he can only give explanations for himself. No matter how ridiculous this explanation is, as long as it makes sense.
Alex thought to himself, "Theoretically, I should be able to reach the level of five senses, or even six senses!" ”
Scientific experiments have shown that in addition to the five basic senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, the human body also has a premonition of the future of the body.
Now, he can only barely achieve the two senses of seeing and hearing, and the rest needs to be slowly improved. He believes that he played the prelude to "Carmen" with extraordinary performance that day because he reached the realm of full five senses at the same time in the process of reminiscing.
This conclusion is not a random guess by Alex, but the result of being determined that he has the superpower of complete memory. Human memory is not about images and sounds, but also about thoughts and smells. Feelings, etc. In other words, all five human senses belong to the content of memory.
As for the sixth sense, this one is even more mysterious. Alex believes that he is still far from reaching the point of his sixth sense. If he really reached the point where his sixth sense was in control, then his degree of control over his body was no longer in the realm of human beings.
In foreign countries, people's mental power or mental induction is called the sixth sense of the person, also known as extrasensory power (abbreviated as ESP in English). The "sixth sense" of the human body refers to people's feelings for internal organs, which are the sensations produced by the stimulation of internal receptors due to various metabolic activities carried out in the body.
For example, people's feelings of hunger, thirst, etc., are not perceived through the five basic sensory organs, but through the "sixth sense".
The perception of the "sixth sense" does not have a specific sense organ, but is generated by the activities of various internal organs of the body, through the neurons (nerve endings) attached to the walls of the organs, to send nerve impulses, and transmit signals to nerve centers at all levels in time.
Among the people Alex knows, the person closest to this "sixth sense" realm should be Wang Chao in the novel "Romance of the Dragon and Snake"! As the saying goes, "God can be seen by breaking through the void", it means that a person can be aware of the subtle changes in his body, and can interfere with these changes to a certain extent.
"At least you have to transform your strength realm to be able to perceive the feeling of your own qi and blood running, as for the Dancheng realm, you can control the whole body's qi and blood running!"
Alex thought about it, but he quickly laughed it off: "It's just a novelist's random writing, which can only be used as a reference, and has no practical use." ”
Having said that, Alex still tried his best to find a feasible path among the various books and materials he had seen in his previous life.
At first, he could only control the memory of his eyes and ears. When he used it a lot, he discovered the trick, that is, to concentrate, at this time, he would be able to achieve three-sense, four-sense, and even five-senses in an instant.
Triggering the memory of the five senses was very fortuitous, and Angel was looking for him when Alex was exercising alone. In a hurry, Alex felt extremely nervous, and at this time, he entered the memory of the five senses. Afterwards, he recalled carefully and found that his hairs stood on end at that time, and he was both nervous and excited.
After a few trainings, he gradually got the hang of it and began to master the state of memory if he entered the five senses. He believes that it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of tension and excitement, preferably to force the secretion of adrenal hormones, and it will definitely succeed.
He was now able to reach a state of full memory with all five senses open in an instant, at which point he was able to simulate any action or sound in his memory.
However, there is a limit to this, and he can keep it that way for a maximum of 60 seconds. After all, his body is not fully developed, and his ability to bear it is poor. This state also consumes the body's energy, which is a very tiring thing.
If this time limit is exceeded, he will faint due to his blood sugar drop, and will not be able to use his full memory to "retrace" past videos for a week after that.
At first, he was a little confused about this superpower, which was similar to the ability of a black woman in the American drama "Hero". Like the black woman, he can simulate the actions he has seen, and this ability is a very powerful melee superpower in American hero comics!
If you think about it, Alex's superpower is related to memory, and the superpower of a black woman is actually super muscle memory. Scientists have found that the muscles of the human body have a memory effect, and after the same action is repeated many times, the muscles will form a conditioned reflex.
Especially when playing music, it basically relies on muscle memory! Many people who practice musical instruments such as guitar and piano have feelings, and after practicing more and becoming proficient, it seems that they don't want their brains to direct their fingers, and their fingers seem to be moving by themselves. It takes a lot of time to memorize the position of a chord or the score, which means that the brain does not remember it, but that the finger muscles have memorized it after a long period of repetition.
It is well known that human memory, especially the memory of theoretical knowledge, functions in the cerebral cortex. However, people's memories in sports have their own peculiarities and are not entirely in the cerebral cortex.
In the body's motor control system, the cerebral cortex motor area is located in a fairly low area.
Sports practice shows that the strength of gymnastics movements, the timing of rotation; The shooting sequence of basketball, the combination of martial arts routines, etc., are not completely controlled by the brain, because there is a blank space when doing the movements - the no-thinking phase.
If too much brain command is added, the movement will be abnormal. Many actions are done under the action of "inertia", and this "inertia" is "muscle memory".
In this way, Alex understood that he was able to play the "Carmen" prelude at that time because of his muscle memory ability. It's just that this muscle memory ability of his can be obtained without his countless personal exercises.
Alex named this ability "Simulated Memory"! With this ability, he can learn anything he wants to do just by looking at it. It's just that when he wants to repeat it, it's troublesome. Because his body can only support 60 seconds, once it is exceeded, it will be very harmful to the body.
In the beginning, he hadn't correlated this cap with physical fitness. Soon, he discovered that when he was physically tired, the time he spent on "simulated memory" would be greatly shortened. If he was sick, he wouldn't even be able to use "traceability".
On the other hand, if he is in a very healthy state, he will be able to use these two abilities easily. At this time, he understood that his physical condition limited the use of his abilities.
"You have to exercise more than you need to! Physical fitness is the bottleneck! ”
Alex slowly learned the way to improve his ability, and that is to exercise, a lot of exercise! It's just that people like him are the laziest, and it is simply a torturous thing to ask him to run and exercise with blood and sweat every day.
When he first started, he wanted to learn kung fu. He, like many Chinese, has had a dream of martial arts. However, he found that it was impossible to learn martial arts, and he could not find anyone who knew kung fu to teach.
He started jogging, but he didn't last a few months before giving up. For him, running is boring, boring, and inefficient.
He wanted to find an efficient solution, after all, he was lazy, and he quickly figured out a solution.
