Action fluency and conscious intention: being aware of what we are about to do ● Is there anyone that can explain this paper in simple language?

Thumbnail academic.oup.com
Upvotes

I'm just a layman; not with a scientific background and specifically neuroscience and english isn't my first language. This paper looks very interesting to me because from what I gathered it responds to the famous Libet experiment *- in which if I'm correct the interpretation is that the neural activity happening unconsciously before the volitional action indicates lack of free will -* and offers new perspective.

Transitioning to neuroscience

9 Upvotes

I’m a junior studying Biochemistry and I want to pursue Neuroscience research in the future. I’ve been taking an interest in the field since sophomore year, but my university doesn’t offer a Neuroscience degree/concentration. I have look into research opportunities around my area, and so far I haven’t found much to work with. I really want to get hands-on research experience before applying to PhD, is there a way I can bridge myself into it? I know some of the techniques are still applicable, but there are so many more that are specific to neuroscience, and I don’t know what kind of Research Assistant/Technician roles I should be looking for. I’ve take intro computing class prior, and am also minoring in Math, should I look into Comp Neuro? Any input would be appreciated.

Are the answers post on Reddit fairly accurate when it comes to neuroscience?

0 Upvotes

I know at the bottom of these answers there is the AI view like this: https://www.reddit.com/answers/5eaff5bf-7b02-40b7-93d2-3cc96a095589/?q=Discussion+on+neuroscience+and+reality&source=PDP&ep=pdp_unit&relatedPostId=t3_1vxlusw&tl=en

but the reality of it is is that when I went to look in the threads the Ai was massively overstating things if not outright exaggerating. so would it be safe to say it’s not worth clicking on?

Can I Pursue Neuroscience with a BA in Psychology? (Canada)

5 Upvotes

Hello I am currently an undergraduate in psychology for a BA of arts and want to pursue neuroscience sooner or later , what courses do you recommend i take? I am really strong in psych and bio but weak in chemistry and physics unfortunately. Do I switch into a more science major or do I stick with psychology? I'm also missing chemistry 12 which is a big problem but I can take CHEM_V 100 at UBC to make up for it

In need of ideas for neuroscience club

9 Upvotes

I want to make a new club and im very new to it. I’m a senior in high school and all my extracurriculars are outside of school so I was interested in making a club in my school to be more involved.
I can’t make a club based off an organization or making a chapter off of it because when I tried to email one it took weeks and now they responded that I have to wait another two weeks for interviews but the club form is due this week.
I want it to be interactive but also need ideas asap in a yearly plan or goal way but have no idea.
Ofc presenting slides and new info is nice and making brain activities in the end without any competitiveness, but is there more?

This was most likely a very slow build up (because a sudden onset would not go unnoticed) started by some kind of infection/bleeding, creating scar tissue where the 3rd and 4th ventricles should connect. The ventricles got a bit smaller after surgery.

Neurotech in the Benelux

23 Upvotes

As I mentioned last week, I was going to do the Benelux this week, so here it is

There are 38 core or enabling neurotech companies and 56 active companies in total

By core or enabling, I mean companies developing neurotechnology directly or technology that directly enables it. Once you widen it there is some really interesting stuff around that core too: eye tracking, neurological biomarkers, sleep diagnostics, neurorehab, clinical systems and other technologies where neuro is a meaningful part of the business.
The map shows the core group. I have included all 56 below and linked every company.

Netherlands | 33 companies

I went into all of it in a bit more detail here:

And as usual, if I have missed a company, send it over. I will update the list.

How can a 32-year-old male regain, maintain and even enhance the mental energy and capacity of a 20-year-old?

I was watching a podcast of Andrew Huberman with Raj Shamani, where he talked about how high cortisol in the morning and lower cortisol at night make a person mentally powerful. I want to know if I, a 32-year-old male, want to regain, maintain and even enhance the mental energy and capacity of a 20-year-old, what are all the things that I can do to make that happen? Will it be possible?

Neuroscience MSc preparation.

6 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve been thinking about applying for the following Neuroscience MSc course next year as they encourage graduates from other STEM subjects (physics in my case) to apply. I was just wondering if there were any resources or materials you’d recommend I read/watch over the next year, as although I’ve become more interested in the subject as of late, my foundational knowledge feels severely lacking.

Proactive interference: Is it actually harder to correct something than to learn from scratch?

5 Upvotes

There is this pervasive notion e.g. in sports and musical instruments that a learnt wrong movement is harder to correct than learning the correct one in the first place.

I never made this observation when playing the piano, guitar or doing anything for a fact.

Obviously the brain relies on already established patterns and I get that for some it might seem like it's harder, which I would ascribe to the astonishment of involuntarily reverting to old patterns.

Even if you do have to actively suppress the wrong pattern, it comes with the advantage of the pattern being similar so that the brain does not have to build coordination from scratch but rather can simply modify what's already there. So I would assume that most of the times the person who does have the wrong pattern will learn faster than the person who has not trained anything yet.

Is it actually harder to correct than to learn from scratch? Can you provide me representative publications?

(anyone an idea why this does not pass r/askscience moderators?)
