Yes,the heart circulates blood through the body, which is still attached to the head. The intervention is disconnecting the blood supply of the head from that of the body and using an external pump that mimics the heart's pulsations to

It's really more like a brain on life support but attached to its normal body that has its normal cardiopulmonary system. They are still in communication with each other, and the function of the brain and rest of the body is tightly in

Neuropsychologist here. They overstate their results (surprise, surprise, Nature). Isolating blood circulation in a way that mimics natural pulsatility is an amazing feat. It is not, though, isolating the brain from the rest of the organism

GP was being sarcastic, right? And you, too, right?

I see no reason why not. You would need to represent dyadic relationships and whether they are reciprocal, transitive, etc., weigh probabilities about the intended meaning (LLM magic already), then use sentential logic rules, right?

What are the cognitive assessments, and what normative data set do they use?

I appreciate the scientific question. These posts tend to launch wild takes on HN that confuse correlation with causation and attempt to reduce disease to just one foundational factor. It just doesn't work like that for a lot of illnes

Good luck "only allowing" a common result of sex under a certain age but well above sexual maturity. Somehow I have my doubts about implementation.

You might be speaking specifically about Reddit and the Q4 profit question, but otherwise I want to point out that the idea that immediate returns in business ultimately destroys good products has been in the cultural consciousness for much

Rest in peace. I had a harebrained fantasy of taking a sabbatical to do a visiting fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute while he was there. I figured he would like talking brain-behavioral science and I would like hearing anything he had to

So again, you are talking about social psychology, where much of the crisis occured and persists. The SPE, even done properly, is not foundational to any work that nearly any psychologist does. Introductory survey textbooks are essentially

No, not a gotcha. Sorry if that wasn't clear. It was an invitation to a perspective shift. My aging mother lost her retirement savings to crypto "investing" despite my attempts to dissuade her for a few years. I do think that

It has. You haven't read recent psychology textbooks. The biggest critics of Zimbardo (and Milgram) were and are psychologists. Those ethical issues (which are not the same as epistemologic issues that make things pseudoscience) helped

I have nothing against you personally, but you have proved your own ignorance. I stand by my original comment. It has never been acceptable in psychology or any other scientific discipline not to include a control condition in an experiment

Take what you said and apply the same logic to privacy-focused cryptocurrencies. You are armchair quarterbacking and speaking beyond your expertise, which is fine, but the claim you make is too strong for the supposed evidence you mention.

It's very cool field, in my opinion. Some good journals for your topic would be Journal of Affective Neuroscience , and Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience . For books, I really enjoyed LeDoux's The Emotional Brain and

Seriously. I was so on the fence as a high school senior and (as a good Indiana boy) got an offer from Rose-Hulman to major in physics. Instead, I went to a SLAC and studied philosophy, eventually convinced a neuropsychology lab in a clinic

This is my experience, too. We had a computer lab full of us learning using Mavis Beacon (1999-2003), and there was no indication in the software that Mavis Beacon was supposed to be a person's name. We just hopped on Mavis Beacon just

That's a strikingly similar situation to ours. Our 4th grader has autism and needed special education services, but of course those didn't exist. At the same time, our typically developing kid was starting kindergarten virtually.

You are being critical of certain practices that in no way reflect the general state of psychometrics. I'm wondering what definition you're using.

Your comment is poorly informed. There are many instruments in circulation that are poorly validated or misused for applications in which they have not validity evidence, but psychometrics as an approach or collection of approaches to devel

I'm not sure if this is the kind of example you mean, but there have been interesting applications in analyzing electroencephalographic readings in various cognitive and neurologic disorders: e.g. https://journals.plos.org&#
