I truly need to get our #blogs back up, first by deciding what to do with #b2evolution no longer being maintained. I need to expand our #IoT to #SensAE maturity model from [component], connection, communication, contextualization, collaboration, causation and cognition to adding the missing step between #causation and #cognition which is #conceptualization to realize valuable sensor analytics ecosystems (SensAE) such as #teleinteractive#microgrids and #SmartRegions
Neuroscientists analyzed the brain activity of 29 volunteers while they listened to Pink Floyd. Then, they assembled auditory spectrograms into a recognizable reproduction of what the patients had heard, making some of the vocals clear. Researchers aimed to restore the musicality of natural speech in patients with neurological...
Welcome to all! ❤️🐀
Potential new followers: can we try something out?
if you're a #Neuroscientist (of any status, yes, undergraduate students can be neuroscientists), could you answer with your neuro 'categories': Experimentalist, Computational, Philosopher, Fly, Human, Rodent, Whale, Tetrodes, Calcium imaging, fMRI, EEG, etc. This is so that I (and possibly others) can put you in a List! I'll share my lists once they have grown enough 😀
if you're not a Neuroscientist, this account will probably not follow you, but you are totally free to follow it, and also to tell us about you and any questions you might have about neuroscience!
if you want to learn about neuroscience, I will try to post beginner-level explanations with the hashtag #NeuroForNewbies. Just an experiment...
@elduvelle_neuro a reminder that people have an option to follow @cogneurophys for cognitive neurophysiology related topics, writ large. And @-mention it as you post relevant articles or discussions
Esko Suoranta will defend his dissertation "The Sky Above the Port Was the Color of Capitalism: Literary Affordance and Technonaturalist Speculative Fiction" in a public examination at the #UniversityOfHelsinki on Saturday, August 26, 14:00 (Helsinki time).
Everyone can attend the event on Zoom at https://helsinki.zoom.us/j/62861691846,
or, should you find yourself in Helsinki at the time, you can join us at Porthania, room PIII, Yliopistonkatu 3, 00100 Helsinki.
Big data seems to be the answer and the thing everyone turns to today, but should we? Joachim Vosgerau gave an excellent talk a while ago on the biases that show up when working with it. "Vosgerau showed that if one collects data in a non-representative way, it can lead to high levels of confidence in an extremely biased and...
Do we only hear sounds? Or can we also hear silence? These questions are the subject of a centuries-old philosophical debate between two camps: the perceptual view (we literally hear silence), and the cognitive view (we only judge or infer silence). Here, we take an empirical approach to resolve this theoretical controversy. We...
People who physically respond to music with chills have stronger fiber connections between the auditory cortex and emotional processing areas in the brain.
"In this study, we show that sensorimotor synchronization to music significantly amplifies the pain-reducing effects of music listening. Using pressure algometry to the fingernails, pain stimuli were delivered to n = 59 healthy adults either during music listening or silence, while either performing an active tapping task or a...
"Anecdotal evidence indicates that people believe that morality is declining. In a series of studies using both archival and original data (n = 12,492,983), we show that people in at least 60 nations around the world believe that morality is declining, that they have believed this for at least 70 years and that they...
In winter, the birds must remember where they’ve hidden tens of thousands of seeds. Biologist Vladimir Pravosudov explains what this can teach us about how the brain evolves.

Could we understand how animals think? As a student in cognitive zoology, at least I try.
An article which provides a nice list of books about animal minds.
