The valence systems are much much much more sensitive to external training, are some people untrained to use their valence systems? We can create model behavior, but what happens when stimuli exceeds the model, how do individuals react? Are we experiencing an increasing failure to address out of bounds events during the developmental process due

We do not experience the world, only our reaction to it. Examples: Nervous systems do not store “ball” or “sound”, they encode the physiological responses to those stimuli which are constructed into objects via downstream processing. This bridges the “stimuli == memory == behavior” conceit. How do sensory illusions work? Oh wow, the thing where

The direct piezoelectric effect in the globular

(WIP) Life does not happen without stimuli. It becomes alive only through the constant metabolism/catalysis with “the world” external to the cell (or whatever we define as the minimum quanta of life for the virus/RNA/RNP fans). The action of this metabolic/catalytic process, which serves as the foundation of our definition of biological life, is the

This is the piece of confirmatory evidence I’ve been waiting for since I saw this. Something I really love about this particular work is it demonstrates a homeostasis point, “too much” is as important a mechanic as “too little”. Only doing a knockout isn’t enough to really understand the

Sorry another stub for now. Sparked by this study Association between mitochondria-related genes and cognitive performance in the PsyCourse Study (which is a bad study with the right idea), we should be able to measure all components of cognitive ability via metabolic interactions, including things like g. As information processing in general is the product

https://safjan.com/pros-and-cons-of-reliance-on-ai-generating-models/#pros-and-cons-of-reliance-on-ai-generating-models I think the “AI” tie in is dumb, but the underlying question, whether or not our cognitive skills are trainable and evolving vs. the fixed physiologically encoded things that cogsci assumes is a really interesting question. Are we as a species self selecting individuals with an entirely new class of information processing capabilities that
