Sleep disorders in children/adolescents with neurodevelopmental and neurological disorders: what evidences do we have with the use of non-pharmacological interventions? - PubMed
Behavioral and educational sleep interventions are generally safe, acceptable, and clinically useful across NDDs, particularly when embedded in multidisciplinary, condition-informed care. However, their efficacy is constrained by small, heterogeneous trials and non-standardized outcome measures. Rob …

In this study, we unlink circadian rhythm from a 24-hour cycle. The time of physics is a feature of the map rather than of the universe.

TKSST • seethis.tv 🌈🪐✨🧠🃏 New #research suggests that Three-Card Monte works by exploiting how our #brains predict where our eyes should move next.
Instead of relying on speed, magicians use specific physical cues to trigger a natural eye-tracking error called an antisaccade. This brief lapse in visual focus allows the performer to swap the cards while the observer's #brain is busy processing a misdirected movement.

Magicians' talk doesn't trick the eyes, Three-Card Monte experiment suggests
Magicians often talk while performing their acts, using a type of speech called "patter." This can include scripted dialog, storytelling, and interactions, and is often used to entertain and manage audiences, with many people—including magicians—believing that it can even misdirect spectators and make sleight-of-hand tricks harder to spot. But does patter actually pull focus and make it difficult for viewers to see what's happening? A new study published in Scientific Reports tests that assumption directly—and the results are surprising.

GabeMoralesVRAnoles must be among the stupidest creatures on earth. I love them, they're so cool, but yeah, they literally have #lizard #brains. It's the season where they're waking up and they are *everywhere* and, of course, they make a b-line for your house the moment you open the door. There's a baby anole that came into my place that I cannot catch. He will starve to death in here if I wrangle him safetly and get him out. He just ran *away* from the open door. Moron! #animals #dumb
