The provided material offers a concise look at public understanding surrounding neuroscience research and research ethics. For mental health professionals, its relevance lies in highlighting how gaps in donor education can influence the progression of studies on brain function in autism, which in turn informs evidence-based practices and public engagement strategies.

Our Brains Run On Autopilot Two-Thirds Of The Day. Behavioral psychologists find about 65% of daily behaviors are triggered by habits, not deliberate decisions. #HabitScience #BrainResearch #BehaviorChange #PsychologyFacts #HealthHabits

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Our Brains Run On Autopilot Two-Thirds Of The Day Think you consciously choose everything you do each day? Science says most of your actions occur automatically. Behavioral psychologists at the UK’s University of Surrey found about 65% of daily behaviors are triggered by habits, not deliberate decisions. Your brain links certain situations, places, or times of day with specific actions, so when those cues appear, your behavior triggers automatically. The good news: many of these robotic habits actually support your goals. The study found 46% of behaviors are both habit-driven and aligned with what you intend to do. Examples: brushing your teeth, preparing meals, and checking your email. The key to changing any undesireable behaviors is building new positive habits and disrupting cues that trigger negative ones. Examples: β€’ Want to exercise more? Attach it to a consistent moment like right after work. β€’ Trying to quit smoking? Avoid places or situations that trigger lighting up and replace them with a new routines. To effect meaningful change, train your habits, not only your willpower.

AI is called "brain-like" all the time. A new York University study tested whether that's actually true by flipping the question: can brain activity predict what's inside an AI model?

Answer: not equally. AI uses internal strategies the brain doesn't appear to use.

This matters for AI being used in clinical research, autism studies, and beyond. Published in Nature Machine Intelligence.

Rethinking brain-like artificial intelligence: New study reveals hidden mismatches

A new study by York University researchers has found a potential striking flaw in artificial intelligence (AI) models. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), a type of AI model built to solve vision tasks for computers, have surprisingly emerged as the current best understanding of how our own brain's visual system works, in the last decade. But does current AI really work like a primate brain?

🧠 The PREDICTOM project showed that a brain scan called an EEG can distinguish between healthy people & those with subtle symptoms of #AlzheimersDisease. πŸ™Œ EEGs are low-cost & widely accessible, enabling early detection & better outcomes.
