I work sitting a lot and bought a 'slimming vibration' machine to sit under my desk. It gives a solid shake to my legs. Will this have the same fat-losing effect as self-initiated fidgeting? Or are these kinds of machine a waste of money?
I made a major discovery, I discovered the wiring diagram of the human brain. It provides the organizational principles to show how the brain is connected. I discovered the "conductors" that orchestrate the brain's activity. It shows that it isn't necessary to map all neurons to decipher the brain. Its impact is massive on mental health and timing of medication. My question is what is the best way to spread the knowledge, should I write a book about this project/discovery or a peer reviewed article?
Many therapeutic and self-improvement methods involve external interaction or stimuli, but some psychological tools seem to work independently. Could you create an episode discussing these purely psychological tools and techniques that don't require any external interaction? It would be interesting to learn how these approaches are connected to underlying biological mechanisms and how they can promote mental well-being and personal growth.
I have a question regarding the interplay between synesthesia, hyperphantasia/aphantasia, mental constructs and how they might interact with senses and influence cognition and performance. As someone with aphantasia, I've been actively training to develop synesthesia and hyperphantasia, and I've noticed a considerable improvement in my cognitive abilities. This personal experience seems to resonate with anecdotal evidence and recent research findings. Could you please provide a brief overview of the neurological underpinnings of these phenomena and explain how they might interact? Additionally, would you discuss the potential impact of these interactions on cognitive performance and their possible implications for cognitive enhancement in the wider population?
