   I really appreciate the art, but my training makes me say: did Ulrich do the 'control experiment'? Did he take unrelated people and juxtapose their faces, matching up the points that he normally does, and the blending and try and

   I found this a rather good explanation (well written article). My favorite para is in the closer: "Others say that Wetterich’s interpretation could help to keep cosmologists from becoming entrenched in one way of thinking." I like

   I upvoted you and would like to add a reply to emphasize how correct I think this is. honest open criticism != rude dick It takes a little more work, because you have to think carefully about your words and calm down, but that action itself

   To me "leftist" has certain idealogical connotations, as in trying out a particular system of government that emphasizes strong and omni-present governmental control (like the USSR, for example). In my opinion the countries listed

    Hey folks. I have an idea. It's not particularly novel, but this article triggered the thought. Let's try an experiment. For the next month, July, let us post and promote articles that speak well of a country's systems. In ev

    This is just wrong. No public apology? There should be a lawsuit. And the damages should come out of the paychecks and pensions of the "agents" not public funds.

    I'd say I'm design blind. From the examples in the post I would say, yes the sites have a passing similarity, but many, many company webpages look very similar to those two. The color schemes and layout details are different, the

    Yes, this is not clear (as far as I know). The direct effect of inserting current pulses is to excite neurons. However, this is followed by a period of inhibition. I am not sure of the cellular mechanisms. A reasonable review (with full tex

    I'm not sure if it is precision. I think it is a fundamental limitation of the technique, since it involves inducing currents in the brain using a magnet located outside it. Another two interesting stimulation techniques are ultrasound

    Hmm. I'm not well versed with this technique, but I believe the effect of TMS is restricted to cortex (the superficial parts of the brain). To affect deeper regions we would have to make the induced currents stronger, which would perha

    Well, that's a cool thought: current DBS leads do have multiple contacts. However, the main reason for this is that exact placement of the leads is not possible. Even with structural MRI and CT scans and so on, the placement is only ap

    That's an interesting thought. There is some push now to figure out if intermittent stimulation (rather than always on, as is commonly used now) works just as well. The main aim of this, however, is to make the batteries last longer.

    Yes, the current spreads regardless, since everything is basically saline (so to speak). So the more distant neurons are activated at a lower level (due to the r^2 drop in current density)

    Very accurate summary! I would add * The current best guess is that the electrical stimulation inactivates the neurons (acting as a reversible lesion). Older surgeries used to do a real lesion near that brain region. * Parkinson's is,

    Hi, yes. There is adult neurogenesis, occurring in certain brain regions. However, this is not true for most of the central nervous system in humans. Neurons (differentiated dells) do not divide. The few new neurons that are born in adults

    Neurons do not divide in adulthood. There are some new neurons being born, but the rate is low. I believe that the central nervous system neuron turn over is much lower than the cells in the rest of the body. However, neural connectivity an

    Hi Sptix, I agree here. If Snowden had a) stayed in the US and or b) stayed on message ("The US govt. should not spy on US citizens") he would have been credible to me. I lost respect when he started to make statements re: the NSA
