Brain Structures

: In short, what you become conscious of often depends on what you already assume, not on external facts presented, according to Toronto Star. Those brain structures are called frames. Within a tenth of a second, incoming information — whether in language, vision, or touch — is unconsciously changed, often radically, to information that better fits what is already in your brain. If the facts don’t fit your frames, the frames stay; the facts are ignored, belittled or attacked. All words are defined relative to largely unconscious cognitive frames. The facts alone won’t set you free. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
