Welcome Chris. Fellow EE here. Best of luck, this place was a great help for me while I was learning (and while I continue to learn!)

I suppose neuropsychologists are the exception to that rule, then.

And then something like this happens... tldr: Man missing 90% of brain challenges our basic theories of conciousness. edit: I should note the idea of new areas of the brain taking over for damaged areas is not really new, but the extent of the damage here raises some interesting questions...

I can't really speak for the field of psychotherapy - you are probably right about the quacks - but as far as neurodegenerative diseases go, the scanners are our bread and butter. We can study many things with MRI and PET scanners. Cortical atrophy, and the deposition of protein 'plaques' on...

That's actually a very interesting question. I am not a psychologist, I'm an electrical engineer, but having worked for a small time in neurology, I have learned a bit more about this kind of thing. You can never know if someone else around you even HAS a conciousness. I can never directly...

There are also neuropsychologists, that study the cognitive behavior of the brain, informed by physiology. I work in a neurodegenerative disease lab, and one of the most important members of our team is the psychologist who can assess a patient and determine what exactly is the deficiency with...

The science of subjective experience is a tricky one.

We have a single property, volume, measured in different ways depending on the phase of the substance. We measure solids with cubed distances, and fluids with liters. I am trying to get some insight as to the reason things are done this way. Are there any particular historical reasons? Practical...

I was just curious... what is the practical reason behind having two separate units for measuring volume? For instance, we can use cubic centimeters and mL interchangeably in practical medicine, i.e. injections. But we tend to use cubic (centi)meters for solids, and liters for liquids/gasses...

Won Gold Membership from the 2016 PF Survey! Whoop!

Whoop!

I'd be interested in reading more about that, but I didn't see much about it in the wiki.

God bless you, and happy new year. /thread

So is it just the fact that it's a square face, as opposed to a elliptical face? Because my ring also has a flat face. It's times like these that I wish I had a slow motion camera.
