There has been a series of recent in the past few decades on brain synchronization. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell whether it's due to the similarity of the task itself (so two people see and pay attention to the same stimulus a

I love that name! Based on the metrics at the bottom, is it right that it's 3 times faster than the Go implementation? What makes it so fast?

Ah I was so into writing TI-BASIC (and eventually, experimenting with z80) on my TI calculator! I would be carrying it to every class. This was before smartphones and I had a lot of times where I had nothing better than to write program on

Thank you for the context! I looked briefly through the review that you cited. Maybe I missed something, but it seems that the neurogenesis claims are based on cell cultures? I'd still like to see some human evidence of this effect to

...in mice. Mouse brain architecture is still quite different from ours. Although it's an enormously useful animal to study for basic neuroscience principles, the specific neuroscience results don't replicate cleanly in primates.

Yes, they used immunohistochemistry to tag cells, which generally requires removing the brain and imbuing it in a solution of chemicals and antibodies. Unfortunately, non-invasive techniques (such as MRI for instance) still don't give

I suppose each of the habits that I tried to build generally improved my life, but I'm not sure that I've setup clear milestones to work towards. That's something that has worked well in personal projects, so I'll give i

Sure, a couple of examples of tasks that ended up lapsing on beeminder (certainly plus points for beeminder for allowing me to see my behavior in charts!) https://www.beeminder.com/lambdaloop/mustdo - doing 1 admin tas

Yes, when I was using beeminder, I both set scheduled breaks and also got hit and got a break. I'd say the issue would be 50/50 planned/unplanned, but I didn't always plan appropriately so I got hit more often than sched

I've tried beeminder and other self-binding contracts, but after some time something in my life (moving, breakup, etc) pops up and I just can't fulfill the goal for 1-2 weeks. After I let it slip for a bit, I find it harder to com

Wow, this is an awesome idea. I can imagine this could be extended to solve tasks to mine cryptocurrency. If you get attacked by a botnet, you would actually make a profit!

I'm not sure about the specifics of the method as described in the book, but time blocking is a pretty standard technique (if you google "time blocking" you'll get dozens of tutorials on it). I've been blocking out

I was worried about this, as I don't have a great knack for directions. However, I found that binding items to locations on the street actually helped me remember the layout of the streets as well. Also, you don't need to use a wh

The greatest advantage of memory is that you can connect what you learned today to what you learned before and thus map out the structure of the world.

Spaced repetition definitely works (and is much better than nothing), but I found it to be quite dull. Recently, I've been reading "The memory code" by Lynne Kelly and found that most of the ancient cultures faced the problem

I feel the same way! I tried a couple of mechanical keyboards (including ergodox) but I found the clacking sounds, the long key travel time, and just the bulkiness of the keyboards to be uncomfortable. I found that there's a bunch of k

I recently heard about a lab using Brainbow in primates to image the activity from a lot of neurons simultaneously at single neuron resolution, using a color camera. The amount of neurons we can map anatomically and record from continues to

I'm not the original commenter, but I feel similarly. Perhaps offering some thoughts on sections 3.1 and 3.2 could foster some discussion. Essentially, the hypothesis is that dreams are some kind of regularization that the brain perfor

As a counterpoint, I am a computational neuroscientist who transitioned form working in human cognition to fruit fly motor control. Fruit fly neuroscience in the past decade has advanced tremendously. With the latest tools, we can record ac

Turns out it's in arch community. Note: AUR isn't really that bad, as long as you install a package manager that handles it (like yaourt).

Last time I checked, OS X did not let you replace the main window system or the OS status bar. The theme of the interface is also not as easily changeable as a KDE or GTK+ theme. If there's a way to completely remove the graphical inte
