Why zero could unlock how the brain perceives absence | Aeon Essays…

Our mental worlds are lively with such experiences of absence, yet it’s a mystery how the #mind performs the trick of seeing nothing. How can the brain perceive something when there is no something to perceive?... #neuroscience

Rhythms of the Brain

> Abstract. Studies of mechanisms in the brain that allow complicated things to happen in a coordinated fashion have produced some of the most spectacular discoveries in #neuroscience. This book provides support for the idea that spontaneous neuron activity, far from being mere noise, is actually the source of our cognitive abilities.

I ask periodically but haven't found an answer yet. My partner has dyslexia, and I definitely don't have that (I can easily help her spell any word she asks), but I when typing I transpose S/2/5, 1/L and of course 0/O. I also substitute words like suitcase/briefcase. I also reverse the order of letters. When reading, numbers in particular, the digits seem to shift around, and if a digit is repeated I struggle to count how many times it is repeated. Is there a name for this? #actuallyAutistic #dyslexia #brain #neuroscience


The discovery of ‘ovoid cells’ is transforming our understanding of memory and may pave the way for new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions.

These highly specialized neurons activate each time we encounter something new, triggering a process that stores those objects in memory and allowing us to recognize them months—potentially even years—later.

Once upon a time, you had no clue what a phone was, or how to use it. But now, you've learnt to use your phone, & phones in general (a general intelligence). You don't have to learn it all again, every time you use a different phone.

This book, explains, using the research of #neuroscience, how we do that.

When I read research papers that are the result of very expensive work (experiments or simulations) I always want to know: how could this project have possibly ended with a null result? And is there an argument in this paper that compares the actual result to this null? If not, I'm very suspicious.

Actually this is a good question to ask about any paper, but the high stakes of super expensive research make it particularly important to ask the question. In my experience, it is surprisingly rarely answered in the paper and I find it hard to believe in these results.

First was an engaging discussion with Ali Preston on schemas in minds and brains on the Brain Inspired podcast youtube.com/watch?v=JRilgGygGE… (2/8) #neuroscience #psychology #CognitiveScience


@jonmsterling @lindsey
A very senior faculty member once told me that "back in the day" (when they were young) an interesting research finding would first get published as a brief note in Nature, and then a year later the lengthy, detailed manuscript with all the data and methods would appear in the Journal of Neurophysiology. And that one wasn't considered a serious scientist if the latter wasn't published, for the former was but the news splash with barely enough substance to understand what the claim was.

Tragic that this separation of concerns has been lost, with everyone now giving more weight to the flashy bit ("significance of findings"), to the point of not bothering to publish the lengthy, detailed, reproducible study ("strength of evidence").

These two axes are what eLife's assessment aims at capturing in a pithy paragraph.

Why nothing matters

It took centuries for people to embrace the zero. Now it’s helping neuroscientists understand how the brain perceives absences

After making this👆 comment this morning I watched #NateHagens latest, which discussed this very thing in depth. "There are things that are more sacred, and this is not a matter of opinion, this is a fact about life, that life wants more life, and we're here to protect that process. It's not about you becoming the best in the world it's about becoming the best for the world."
