Next was "Brainwaves" by Cornelius Borck. This is a fascinating look at the history of the EEG - its technological development, initial scientific uses, and how those uses were deeply enmeshed in cultural and scientific currents. Highly recommend

:awesome: ✨️ 💫 🧠 The area of the anterior mid-cingular cortex is bigger in super-agers 👵🧓
Therefore, I’d say it’s fair to say this aged well 😏✨

In the study I would like to briefly introduce here, the focus is on the relationship
between meditation and music – a pairing that is widely discussed, yet often without
much precision.
The study examines how music that reliably induces aesthetic chills interacts with
meditative processes, with particular attention to affective intensity,
self-transcendence, emotional permeability, and subjective insight.

ggseg 2.0: One atlas object for both 2D and 3D brain visualization.
In v1, you loaded `dk` for 2D and `dk_3d` for 3D. You kept both in your head, hoping region names matched. They usually did. Usually.
That's gone. One call — dk() — feeds both renderers.

In the study I would like to briefly introduce here, the focus is on the relationship between meditation and music – a pairing that is widely discussed, yet often without much precision.
The study examines how music that reliably induces aesthetic chills interacts with meditative processes, with particular attention to affective intensity, self-transcendence, emotional permeability, and subjective insight.
The work does not establish clinical efficacy. Its relevance lies in showing how music can modulate inner states that, in clinical contexts, are regarded as markers of change. The analysis is process-oriented and based on self-reports rather than clinical outcomes.
In medical terms, this is not therapeutic evidence, but a contribution to understanding state-dependent mechanisms – potentially of interest to both musicians working with affect and clinicians concerned with contextual modulation.

A quick post about the clash between media hype and neurological reality
The Urbanczik-Senn plasticity model is a powerful framework for understanding synaptic #plasticity in #NeuralNetworks. It integrates dendritic prediction errors to unify supervised, unsupervised, and #ReinforcementLearning under a single rule. Its predictive coding mechanism and robust learning dynamics make it valuable for simulating neural processing and exploring plasticity. Here’s a short simulation using the #NESTsimulator:

The article describes how ayahuasca alters brain waves to produce intense perceptual and emotional experiences, and how resting brain patterns can predict the strength of these effects. It reports EEG measurements taken before and after ingestion in a controlled trial, linking specific neural activity to subjective experiences and noting potential implications for individualized care. The study also discusses limitations and the influence of environment on psychedelic experiences.
This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it connects neural dynamics with altered states of consciousness, perception, emotion, and thought patterns, offering insights into how brain activity shapes subjective experience and potential implications for mental health treatment.
Article Title: Scientists map the brain waves behind the intense effects of ayahuasca

Machiavellianism is a meticulously defined, subclinical personality trait characterized by a cognitive and behavioral phenotype optimized for strategic deception, interpersonal exploitation, and unyielding self-interest. It functions as a parasitic strategy that operates in direct contrast to prosocial mechanisms of trust, cooperation, and mutual reciprocity.

"Dream hacking helps people solve complex problems in their sleep
Hearing a sound while working on a complex puzzle, and then hearing it again during sleep, helped lucid dreamers better tackle the problem the next day
Your brain could be gently coaxed into working on complex problems while you sleep, making you better able to tackle them the next day.
Neuroscientists and psychologists are increasingly using sounds, touch, movement and, particularly, smells to influence the content of people’s dreams. This dream engineering has shown promise for helping smokers quit, treating chronic nightmares and even boosting creativity."
