Here is what I am reading today:
“You’re looking at the bike of the future, where you’ll control gear shifts with your mind. This design concept is noxytocin and the dark side of the forcethe prototype stage, and from the looks of the video above, it’s well on its way to a high-end bike shop near you.
Cyclists will adore the bike’s multiple aerodynamic design features and carbon fiber construction, but the most astonishing thing about the bike is its ability to change gears using its rider’s brain waves.”
“Imagine you’re dining at a restaurant in a city you’re visiting for the first — and, most likely the last — time. Chances are slim to none that you’ll ever see your server again, so if you wanted to shave a few dollars off your tab by not leaving a tip, you could do so. And yet, if you’re like most people, you will leave the tip anyway, and not give it another thought.”
“We are all familiar with the phrase “monkey see, monkey do” — but have we actually thought about what it means? Over the last two decades, neuroscience research has been investigating whether this popular saying has a real basis in human behavior.”
“For a hormone, oxytocin is pretty famous. It’s the “cuddle chemical” — the hormone that helps mothers bond with their babies. Salespeople can buy oxytocin spray on the internet, to make their clients trust them. It’s known for promoting positive feelings, but more recent research has found that oxytocin can promote negative emotions, too. The authors of a new review article in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, takes a look at what oxytocin is really doing.”
Autism is a mysterious developmental disease because it often leaves complex abilities intact while impairing seemingly elementary ones. For example, it is well documented that autistic children often have difficulty correctly using pronouns, sometimes referring to themselves as “you” instead of “I.”
