Cognitive scientists studying attention and rest have found that adults who stare out the window for ten minutes between work tasks aren't procrastinating — they're letting the brain do the metabolic work that integration requires, and the productivity literature has called that procrastination for far too long.
Cognitive scientists say staring out the window between tasks isn't procrastination — it's the metabolic brain work that makes everything else possible.

How neural image signal processing can overcome physical limitations of small sensors.
Short-term #synaptic #plasticity (#STP) transiently modulates synaptic strength based on recent activity. #ShortTermDepression #STD reduces efficacy during repeated activity, while #ShortTermFacilitation #STF can enhance responses to closely spaced #spikes. These dynamics shape #NeuralProcessing, #filtering, and synaptic #homeostasis. Here's a short #Python implementation and simulation in #NESTSimulator:

Testosterone therapy in trans men results in shifts in the neural processing of emotion, study finds
Most people would agree that men and women experience emotions differently, due to a combination of brain structure, hormones, and socialization. This leads to the question, when a transgender person undergoes gender affirming care, does their emotional processing change? A study published in Psychoneuroendocrinology suggests that hormone therapy can change emotional perception in transgender individuals. ...
