Επιστήμη, αυτή η καύλα. Κυριακή, 26 Ιουνίου 2011. Προκαλούν τα κινητά καρκίνο;. Στις 31 Μαΐου ο Παγκόσμιος Οργανισμός Υγείας έβγαλε μία ανακοίνωση. Σχετικά με την επικινδυνότητα των κινητών τηλεφώνων. Αυτό που επιτέλους έγινε ήταν να μπει η ακτινοβολία των κινητών τηλεφώνων σε μία από τις 5 κατηγορίες επικινδυνότητας.

This Is Your Brain on Magic Mushrooms – The Connectome
https://theconnectome.wordpress.com/2015/07/02/this-is-your-brain-on-magic-mushrooms
Breaking news from the frontiers of neuroscience. This Is Your Brain on Magic Mushrooms. I take a trip into the weird world of psychedelic neuroscience – which is actually a major area of serious research right now. Specifically, I delve into one new fMRI study, which found that psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms, changes brain connectivity in two very distinct ways. Could this have implications for psychotherapy? Read my full article at. July 2, 2015. January 1, 2016. One of our ...

The Best Free Online Neuroscience Courses – The Connectome
https://theconnectome.wordpress.com/2015/07/02/the-best-free-online-neuroscience-courses
Breaking news from the frontiers of neuroscience. The Best Free Online Neuroscience Courses. I have a confession to make: I never formally studied neuroscience. Actually, I freely admit this fact to anyone who asks – and the most frequent follow-up question I get is, “Then how did you teach yourself enough about neuroscience to write about it professionally? But these days, there’s a much easier way to go about it. And the best part is, all these courses are free. Perception, Action and the Brain. If you...

How Our Brains Process Books – The Connectome
https://theconnectome.wordpress.com/2015/07/02/how-our-brains-process-books
Breaking news from the frontiers of neuroscience. How Our Brains Process Books. In my latest article. I dig into some fascinating new research on reading. In this study, the researchers software that could actually predict what a person was reading about, just by seeing scans of their brain activity. What did these scans reveal about how our brains render fictional worlds? Could this research help explain how we’re able to “become” characters in the stories we read? Read my full article at.
