For researchers studying high-level neuropsychology with low-level mechanisms, HNN is an extremely promising and powerful bridge between the micro and macro levels of brain function. If there’s funding already allocated for collab, it’s worth a look.

Lol, thrice refused

I like this clean dissection - it comes back to the fundamental tradeoff between spatial and temporal precision. EEG (as you mention) can address the other shore of the gulf. The next step is to bridge the gulf; how do we create a unified theory of response inhibition? Maybe simultaneous fNIRS-EEG?

This is great stuff! If each of the three elements can be selectively removed without abolishing minimal selfhood, does that mean there is no single necessary-and-sufficient component of consciousness? Relatedly, can a quale be a quale without a self?

It’s this, right?

Honestly endothermia is a cop out

The tinyness of the foreground stars really drives home the immensity of the nebula

It’s like a hammer in search of a nail, except it’s not even a hammer. It’s the *idea* of a hammer.

I guess all play and no work isn’t so great either

A+ no notes

Ironically the only true resting-state fMRI scan ever performed was on the salmon

Ok David Humester

…Tanaka discusses heterogeneity of symptoms (“mood, anxiety, pain, and cognitive decline”), brain network dynamics (prefrontal, striatal, limbic), and systemic biological factors (metabolic, inflammatory, circadian) as jointly necessary for understanding and eradicating depression.

“This perspective advances frameworks that treat heterogeneity as signal”

Lovely way to conceptualize depression….

Nice. Even better when read in an Australian accent

Excellent!

Interesting! Why the decision to use single pulse, as opposed to a more clinical paradigm? Is the idea to start simple and build from there?

Want to try it?? @ant-neuro.com has demo gear for pilot data collection!

Super interesting (and a little surprising)! Are there efforts ongoing to find similar patterns with EEG, fNIRS, or other techniques that might be more practical in the field?

Don’t fight the feeling! Instead, close your eyes, accept that claustrophobia is a natural response to being enclosed, and give the feeling time to run its course and dissipate.
I’ve been scanned 20+ times, and this approach helps me. The feeling usually fades after a minute or less. Good luck :)

Well actually that was more of a hierarchical regression, clearly showing the statistical significance of Brutus (then fall, Caesar!) after controlling for the influence of the other senators wait what are we talking about?

Who am I to diss a brie?

The tunnel scene, but make it camp

Weird Al Yankovic was born on Mole Day?? That is too perfect

I’m so happy that this is happening!

This raises such interesting questions about causality. Does learning a second language boost WM abilities? Do WM abilities make it easier to learn a second language? Both? Neither?

You will never find a more wretched hub of interoception and consciousness

Setting aside the horror of the general situation… how do we know that autism can’t be acquired? As I understand it we know very little about the etiology of ASD

The only relevant suggestion is to let the Wookiee win
