Warning, Neruoscience has been known to lead to mental decline and in extreme cases even podcasting.

I'll always remember chatting with a guy at the airport who asked what I was in grad school for. Unexpectedly, he was thrilled to talk about neuroscience, and asked what I thought of a recent study. Some researchers had put dogs in fMRI to "prove" that dogs can feel love.

Isn't Nootropics a bunch of pseudoscience?

Wait, Nootropics is pseudoscience? All this time I thought it's just a group of very enthusiastic niche supplement consumers.

Isn't that a way to wide of a topic? Sure, the whole "mushroom X gives you +3 working memory" is probably sketchy, but there is way to much going on in nutrition and health in general, right

I should learn neuroscience…. I like all that shit on the right…

Nobody 'likes' matlab. People just give in and stop hating.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

That’s true. I do dislike matlab.

I’ll use Julia and Python for this.

"Disgust" is a ground state.
