Do these graphs help confirm that "over the hill" age is around 40?
- qiskit 5y agoIn the chart, all the metrics look like they are in a state of decline in your mid 30s. So we can safely assume by 40, you ( or your brain specifically ) is over the hill.
- andrewjl 5y agoWe can't safely assume that universally due to selection effects the data for these kinds of studies has.
- NhanH 5y agoYeah, just to point out something specific: only 1% of the dataset comes from Asia. Something similar might happen in other dimension. We don’t know if 50% of the images come from people with genetic degenerative brain disease or not. MRI is special enough that it would be hard to say the sampling is similar to the general population
- neatze 5y agoI don't think it is "over the hill" capabilities wise to some extent.
- dimgl 5y agoWhat does "over the hill" mean? That there's a snowball in cognitive decline after 40?
- eurasiantiger 5y agoI think that’s the age when most workers start moving into positions where they no longer need to actively solve hard, abstract problems, and the brain starts to atrophy just like a muscle that gets no exercise. Combine that with an increase in stress levels due to no longer being able to directly ensure the success of work and you get a managerial brain grinder.
