Dancing brainwaves: How sound reshapes your brain networks in real time

What happens inside your brain when you hear a steady rhythm or musical tone? According to a new study, your brain doesn't just hear it -- it reorganizes itself in real time.

Brain networks for sustained attention in teens predict substance use in young adulthood

Adolescents with lower sustained attention and specific brain activity patterns at age 14 were more likely to increase cigarette and cannabis use by age 23, suggesting early attention ability predicts future substance use risk.

Infants have impressive #auditory learning capabilities, even at day 1. Study shows that #newborns & 6–mo-olds already learn & detect #grammar-like rules; the underlying #BrainNetworks reorganize to be more adult-like after the first half-year #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3UiaGMg
Functional reorganization of brain regions supporting artificial grammar learning across the first half year of life

Infants have impressive auditory learning capabilities, even from the newborn stage. This study provides neuroimaging evidence that both newborns and 6–7-month-olds already learn and detect grammar-like rules, and that the underlying brain networks are reorganized and more adult-like after the first half year.

Psilocybin desynchronizes the human brain - Nature

Healthy adults were tracked before, during and after high doses of psilocybin and methylphenidate to assess how psychedelics can change human brain networks, and psilocybin was found to massively disrupt functional connectivity in cortex and subcortex with some changes persisting for weeks.

Two brain networks are activated while reading, study finds

When a person reads a sentence, two distinct networks in the brain are activated, working together to integrate the meanings of the individual words to obtain more complex, higher-order meaning, according to a study at UTHealth Houston.

#Introduction

Hey Mastodon community!

I'm an Assistant Professor at #GordonCollege

My research examines lifespan changes in the prioritization of and memory for social and emotional content, and how these changes relate to moral cognition.

I'm looking forward to meeting people interested in these topics on this platform!

Very curious how we got computers to read our minds. Every time I say:

🙂I don’t understand anything anymore, why does it keep crashing -> code suddenly works

🙃Everything runs perfectly! -> everything crashes
