Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
8d ago“Was HHMI's Janelia justified in betting on decoding the brain over traditional investigator-driven science?”
I could be wrong here, but does this assume that the bigger / harder part of grieving is cognitive / cerebral? My perhaps-not-super-informed take on grief, or at least my experiences of it, is a lot more like a set of embodied predictive processing errors.... - Tomo...
It doesn't feel invalidating to me, I think we're looking with curiosity at a topic that isn't backed by hearty public research. The more I think about the way I experience and have healed and explored very intense (mostly traumatic) childhood experiences, the more convinced I... - onlooks like I've been wrong and spreading misinformation about the disproven "triune brain theory"bylaymanpascal...
I've also heard some strong scientific critiques of the polyvagal mode but that doesn't put the thing to rest. It just means there's more worked need to pragmatically trace the subjective use of those anatomical structures and that the effectiveness of any particular polyvagal... - onlooks like I've been wrong and spreading misinformation about the disproven "triune brain theory"bylaymanpascal...
The basic idea of thinking on terms of brain systems with an evolutionary slant continues to be suggestive but I think we'll need to shift toward information systems rather than anatomical chunks and the correlations between arrangements/proportions and emergent phases of the... - onlooks like I've been wrong and spreading misinformation about the disproven "triune brain theory"by
That book explicitly smashes the triune brain theory. Working from memory here, one of the puzzle pieces in the books is: the growth of these different parts of the brain is turned on and off by chemical signalling and otherwise it's a common architecture - so you can induce... - aharoni...
I disagree with two key points. "Idiot savant" is generally a problematic term. We're in 2025, and we should beyond this condescending attitude to neurodivergent people. And in any case, it's not a very good comparison.... - kendra...
I have heard that the “mom brain” phenomenon is actually tied to a really big neurological event that happens where your brain is creating space/attuning to that which matters most and requires, therefore, the most brain matter.... By approaching triggers with equanimity and non-attachment, you’re fundamentally retraining your nervous system. The real shift happens not in avoiding or overcoming but in merely observing and allowing.... I think the predicitive processing model is the best model of how we work that I have come across. It seems like it provides a framework that helps explain _why_ a bunch of various personal and interpersonal (and even some spiritual) development techniques work.... This is awesome. I have long thought something very similar to this is what was happening on the subtle realm*, with subtle energy. This validates the gist of the hypothesis.... - TayrenB...
Hello. I am an independent researcher with multiple Master degrees. My research is mainly in toxicology (especially neurotoxicology and mechanistic aspects of toxicology), neurodegeneration, neuroscience, infectious diseases, and microbiology....
