Fortell. Meg. MER!
I'm so sorry for your election.
Norway is still an option. Just sayin'.
Dang. Sorry to hear that. :<
Always nice to hear from you and Dexter! โค๏ธ
Looking forward to see it too!
Your memory isn't stored in any one place. It's a distributed network of associations. The info from your senses is stored where they are processed. Hippocampus works as a sort of library computer that connects all the different pieces of info into one memory. It is also associated with imagination!
Do what, Warn people?
Doesn't that make the question kind of redundant ~?
Hah! Wouldn't you like to know~.
What book was it? :o
You know the whole smooth/wrinkle brain thing? Usually such things is nonsense, but this one kind of has a point. The neurons in cortex mostly lie along the outer edge, forming a layer. Often referred to as "Grey Matter. The reason why human brains are folded? More surface area = more neurons!
Don't worry. We know who the mastermind is! You're the grapest! Err, greatest*!!
Brain fact: The concept of "Left brained versus Right brained" is almost entirely a myth. Information is parallell processed in both halves. Some functions are still lateralized (to one side) One of these is Language. Your left brain is heavily dominant in both producing and understanding language.
Brain fact:
People who suffer from Hemispheric neglect are unable to attend to anything to their left. Lesions near temporoparietal junction makes them unable to focus on anything to their left. What more, they can no longer imagine it either, until they turn their head so it is to their right.
Lower numbers = obviously superior!
I am badge number 1758. x3
Psychologists-are-jerks fact:
The fear of long words is called Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
I saw him! He is cool and likes boardgames, and you guys are really cute together!
And yet you refuse to fight me!
I would think so! Illusions are usually about seeing what your brain expects to be there, when it is not, in fact, there.
And upside down, and a bunch of the info gets processed on the way!
It's virtually all I do.
Brain fact:
You only see about 70% of what you see at any given time. Your vision is made out of slats of information that is processed in the occipital lobe. Everything else your brain just kind of.. Fills in on its own with what it expects to be there. Explains a lot in regards to superstition.
Not-exactly-brain fact.
The medical term for "Brain freeze" is Sphenopalatine Ganglioneuralgia.
That also resonates with the work done by Thomas Khun on scientific Paradigms.
I completely agree.
Justified Rich bitch!
Rich bitch
Actually, wearing a metal cage while working next to a massive magnet (fMRI) would've been worse.
..But I didn't do that.
Try 63 days.
Nearly ruined my Master's degree.
If the premise is that I took a wrong turn, I would probably ask for directions.
...To whichever IKEA lets you buy such a kickass throne!
