i have felt my brain working whilst high, and it is an awesome feeling, though if i think about it, i can imagine a sense of something if i think about any part of my body, including my brain. But on to the other part of what you said, when it comes to the "smell of grandma's fabric softener" my brain has made neural connections that when i sense the smell of the softner, the electrical impulses from my nose race through my brain, lighting up the "memory" of the smell and i recognize it, so at any one point in time im not thinking of my second grade teacher or grandma, but if i put a process to it, i become aware of their existence and the downy scent of g-ma, but only because i become aware of their existence, before i read your post, it wasnt a thought on my mind, but it was a path in my brain, so it wasnt used so much as stored in my brain. but it is a good point to bring forward, how do we consider usage, the amount of stored memories plus our current output, or just the memories/connections, or just the output, its a line which i drew for myself, how about for you.
