How much do we know about what brain data we are sharing through our neuro tech devices?
Brain imaging and AI processing now allow data processors to predict people's intentions - even if people want to keep them private! Law makers need to pay attention.

🧠🔎 Searching for lost items relies on the #brain's attentional spotlight to filter visual #data. When eyes jump between points using movements called saccades, gaps in focus can leave objects undetected even when they are directly in front of the viewer.

It’s right under your nose – why some people can’t find things in plain sight

Your brain isn’t just looking – it’s predicting. Here’s why that means you can stare straight at something and still not see it.

The Conversation

The article reports on a small study where a single dose of a ketone ester supplement reduced alcohol cravings in individuals with alcohol use disorder and shifted brain energy use from glucose to ketones, as measured by brain imaging. The findings suggest ketone esters may rapidly alter brain metabolism and reduce cravings, pointing to potential therapeutic use.

Ketone ester supplementation appears to influence brain energy metabolism and craving responses in alcohol use disorder, highlighting interest in metabolic approaches to psychological and behavioral challenges.

Homo Invocator
If the body is hardware, then the mind — or rather, the set of informational patterns running through it — is software: human software (and a limited one at that). This software isn’t born with us; it’s installed through culture, language, education, and experience. We grow up running inherited programs, archaic operating systems that dictate beliefs, prejudices, and identities.

Homo Invocator

We live immersed in a persistent illusion: the idea that consciousness arises from the brain like the flame from a candle. Contemporary…

We explore the staggering possibility that consciousness is not a biological evolution, but a cultural invention born from the catastrophic silence of the gods during the Bronze Age collapse.

By looking at the neurology of auditory hallucinations and the linguistics of the Iliad, we investigate the moment the 'human' was forced to take over for the 'divine.' Did the voices stop, or did we just learn to start calling them 'me'?
