  1. I think high dopamine:serotonin predisposes brains to think they're doingwhat they're supposed to be; lets get some metabolite studies -neurotransmitter degradation products are assayable in bodily fluids.

     

    In a Freudian context, this is different than the delusion that one ismaking all events happen. Not environmental mnemonics, Gestalt psychology seemslike semiotic Kung Fu. I much prefer Divine Wind, reified using a gentlebehaviorist model.

     

     

     

     

  2. IQ represents how many metaphors you have, not how elaborately you can put them together - I wonder if concepts are contextualized metaphors, as innovation is often inspired by such. Brain damage isn't just something to talk about - there's no telling which neurons we'll need.

     

    Does anyone know the dreamcatcher model of social networks?

  3. If it was clear, I wouldn't have asked again. Or, say, two of us asking.

     

    you're making no sense, fractalres. We don't understand what you want.

     

    It is normal to call a closed switch 'bridged'; I'm wondering if there is an alternative name for an open one.

  4. "In depression, glucorticoids are elevated, life seems hopeless, and rats think their bar opens shock circuits.

     

    If one is using effort on bad behavior, its often best to remove its substrate from what enthralls ones focus.

     

    Freud posited that depression is aggression turned inward, suggesting persons adopt annoying habits of characters no longer available to them; but it seems more like the rat who thinks it can control its suffering.

     

    Persistent delusion begins to harm more than help - although its feeling of control at first damps its stress response, it eventually gets more stressed than rats who never had control.

     

    Sapolsky, Robert. <i>Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers</i>. Updated. New York: W.H. Freeman and Company, 1998. Print."

     

    I know the rats don't think that the pulsed Q (in this case the output of the circuit turning ON their electric stressor) is inhibited by opening a switch on its circuit by pressing their bars, but you get my point.

  5. You will need to be a bit more specific. What do you mean a decision will reward oneself? Anything we choose has consequences, and part of making rational decisions is to calculate the "benefit" a decision will give us. Not all decisions in life end up being beneficial, and not all are reational, but when you do consider something rationally, that's what you're doing, isn't it? Considering the 'reward' of the choice?

     

    Not sure what you're asking here.

     

    I recently discovered naive Bayesian classifiers and think it is a brilliant way to deal with impressionistic/associational-episodic biases. The impacts of my critique are present in social acceptance situations where the neocortex considers but does not act rationally because there is not a common culture that compels such. I wish to learn more about Bayesian inference.

  6. While the neurologically relevant pathways of phenylalanine are certainly varied, I'm wondering if we can get together what we know about them in a diaphanous form. Such may make it available to both common intellectuals and harried experts: the latter don't always put together info as well as it could be presented to them.
