definition

• Developed by Pribram (1982) and explored further by Epstein and Rossi (1986), this proposes that the brain operates like a hologram in its reception, transmission, and storage of information. Each nerve cell can biochemically stimulate several neurons at the synaptic cleft, and thousands of synapses are possible, such that a nearly infinite number of patterned associations are happening. When any part is stimulated, the whole is reproduced, as in a hologram.

Achterberg (1985) points out that the storage of images in our brains is everywhere at once and has no space/time dimension. This model helps explain such phenomena as phantom limb; it is not necessary to have a limb to sense it, it is only necessary to have once had that limb, or to have thought about having that limb.

The holographic model also explains the ability to recreate complex memories, not only visually but also with feeling and somatic responses. Further the memory itself will stimulate neurotransmitters and subsequently hormones, and finally the complex related physiological response.
