Video games and skill transfer
I would love to know more about implicit learning and how that occurs in video games, as well as possible skill transfer that comes from playing certain types of games. My background is in CogSci and I am soon working on educational games, so I would love to know what the neuroscience community knows about this!
Dealing with PCOS
Many of us struggles with pcos, even without knowing it, could you please discuss this topic. I've had problems with cycle and acne for a long time and was on and off contraceptives for a very long time, then I decided to deal with it my own way, meaning eatting less sugar and working out (at least 20-30 minute a day) and it helped, I got my cycle back, my question is there still ricks I should be aware of, or maybe test and check ups I need to do like yearly or maybe every 6 months.
Thank you for Spreading the Light!
Dr. Huberman, To quickly introduce myself, I'm a TBI survivor, prior skateboarder, aspiring medical student, cyclist, and a grateful human to have been presented with your podcast. When I was introduced to your podcast, I welcomed it with open arms. I remember thinking, "You mean to tell me there's a medical school professor that has a free podcast?? Well, I plan to be in medical school, so I'll spend my free time watching this man!" As I've gotten to know the podcast further I realized we connected further than just an educational standpoint but also skateboarding and our love in spreading the good news about light. Even prior to learning about your podcast, I was quite the nerd about the importance of sunlight exposure as it has helped me perform well in night shift work and harness my mental health. I've now picked up the reputation of going around and telling people, "Have you heard the good news??? If you spend your waking moments with God....I mean sunlight...you'll quite literally live a happier life! We now have the scientific tools to receive the sunlight we need the moment we wake. In doing this, we develop a relationship with our pineal gland so it can down-regulate cortisol and our body can up-regulate cortisol and catecholamines!" ^^^That was legitimately what I've been telling people since the start of the fall weather in order to help people prevent the "winter blues." Furthermore, it's inspired an idea of mine to "Spread the Light". Last year I went around to several coffee shops / gas stations to donate SAD lamps because it was breaking my heart to see these people at work every morning yet they had yet to "see the light" before coming into their shift. I could go on and on, but I really just want to thank you for being someone I can look up to. There's no conflict of interest here, I am not applying to Stanford's School of Medicine, I will be a student elsewhere. I plan to be matriculating by fall of 2024. I too am a non-traditional student, I'll be 31 by the time a start medical school. But because I've been able to grow up prior taking on such a responsibility, I've gotten to prove to myself that I've been chasing a career in medicine all due to a love for curiosity and how I may use my own mind to help others. I've love to tour Stanford and have a chance to meet you in person. You really have no idea how much I appreciate the commonalities we have as humans and you inspire me to keep going. One day we'll be able to look at each other as colleagues. When that time comes, I'll love to share the beauty of the greatest orthopedic tool in existence (the bicycle) and how it's helped me surpass 3ACL tears and how sunlight helped me surpass my own suicidal ideating thoughts. If I'm ever to be in the care of others, I had to learn how to take care of myself. Thank you, Dr. Huberman. Best, Diego Andrés Mora
