ok, that pretty cool research from Google, hope this leads to even more discoveries around the brain, hopefully it's time we get a better understanding of our brains and how to hack them.
- goatlover 2y agoWhy do you want hackable brains?

- taosx 2y agoDue to my current condition. I feel that I could do more both for myself and the world but unfortunately motivation plays a big role or otherwise I have to trick myself into feeling stressed in order to do things like work that might be boring or feeling observer. So many reasons: absorb information faster; improve spatial visualization; motivation, intrinsic motivation hacking ; simulations...etc Give me the code to my brain and let me edit it, with version control please :D
- outworlder 2y agoThe problem is that it would also let others edit your brain. Even indirectly.
- johnisgood 2y agoYou can do that already, it is called behavior modification. :P And medications!
- johnisgood 2y agoHave you ever considered or tried nootropics before? Nootropics may help with stimulation, as well as memory and cognition in general. There is a whole community dedicated to it with effective stacks.
- whymeogod 2y agomeditation, if you want to try a drug free approach. Make it simple. Stare at a clock with a big second hand. Take one breath every 15 seconds. Then, after a minute or so, push it out to 20 seconds, then one every 30 seconds. For the 30, my pattern tends to stabilize on inhale for 5-7, hold for 5-7, and then a slow exhale. I find that after the first exhale, if I give a little push I can get more air out of my lungs. Do this once a day, 7-10 minutes session, for a week, and see if things aren't a little different.

- willy_k 2y agoBrains are already hackable in multiple senses. Namely through exogenous chemicals, electrical stimulation, hypnosis, and combinations of these. They aren’t necessarily reverse engineerable, which is what computational models like LLM-tied ones would enable, but they are hackable. We have the Cold War to thank for that.
