…racteristic amplitude and time scales. From this point of view, if most or all information is widely distributed in the brain (e.g., serial order of visual tasks involving motor cortical neurons, Carpenter et al, 1999) ) then the “binding problem” (see above) could also be solved...

…en’s learning and development and was one of the founders of the field of “theory of mind.” She has spoken of the child brain as a “powerful learning computer,” perhaps from personal experience. Her own Philadelphia childhood was an exercise in intellectual development. “Other fa...

known or explorable brain mechanisms, one might argue that at this early stage of the work it would be more desirable to simply report the quantitative findings, leaving unanswerable questions about ultimate causality for later discussion (see below). The first EEG 4(+) was rep...

…996). Peripheral nerve stimulation in the earlobe and trapezius muscle induced increments in Dz in the EEG of specific brain regions (Heffernan, 1996). Memory for but not induced pain increased EEG D2 in chronic pain patients but not in normal controls (Lutzenberger et al, 1997)...

…nces the thesis that the belief in pseudo-conspiracies proceeds from the “quirks and foibles” in the way that the human brain, or at least some human brains, process evidence. He lucidly reviews studies showing common defects in the brain’s wiring, such as the bias that selects e...

…HC. Myrcene is understood to enable and hasten the psychoactive effect of THC by lowering resistance posed by the blood-brain barrier and increasing the THC saturation capacity of the CB1 receptors. Other terpenes have been shown to block endocannabinoid receptors in the brain wh...

…reated in adult animals/humans. The development of new neurons — neuronogenesis — is a vital part of maintaining normal brain and mental functioning. New neurons are being created, importantly, in the hippocampus (brain organ where new memories are encoded) — but, remarkably, the...

When this happens, our promiscuous brain has worked its combinatorial magic, causing us to feel good when we witness someone else’s misfortune. Schadenfreude, like envy, causes us to self-evaluate, looking inside of ourselves to assess our net worth relative to others. We know f...
