They also hand out prescriptions like M&M's on Halloween.

I'm doing undergrad research with one of my professors and her specialization is essentially testing prescription drugs on patients (who have already been prescribed them) under fMRI scanning. We test the patients while they're off the drugs and while they're on them, as well as non-diagnosed people who are not on drugs at all, and collect hard data.

Anyway, her current goal is to verify whether the shit that psychiatrists say is true or not. There maybe some interesting findings in ADD meds coming out soon.

Woohoo neuroscience!

I guess it's approved.

I'm a neuroscience major, so I do a lot of biology.

I have heard that Berkeley is great for bio, and it has a lot of options. Realize that in most fields your options are going to be limited with just a bachelor's degree. Biology is difficult because you will be specializing in grad school in most cases, but you can improve your odds by specializing a little bit now. Also remember that most of the time you have a lot of flexibility in bio. At my school, many Neuroscience majors go on to bioengineering and genetics graduate programs, and it's similar elsewhere. The best thing about bio is that you're not locking yourself into anything. Don't worry about bioengineering, there are many, many jobs for a person with that degree.

Picture yourself in a laboratory, doing research. You hold up a vial with a small white label on it, holding it in front of your nose and your thick safety glasses to identify its contents. What is in the vial? Is it DNA that you're going to implant into a virus to modify the genetics of another organism? Maybe it's a solution that you're going to add to a bacterial colony to see if you can kill it. Maybe it's a neurotoxin. Maybe it's something else. What are you doing?

thats why you always adjust alpha... lrn2stats

Okay, so you are taking the report of people who are clearly not unbiased towards the subject as proof? That's not how science is done. This is how religion is done. Those alleged "tulpa hosts" seem to me like a bunch of attention whoring faggots that have watched fight club too often.

If they really have hallucinations, there should be some action going on in the visual cortex or broca area... However, until there is any data regarding this, it is pointless to believe in it.

Regarding "parallel processing"... I'm not quite sure what kind of mambo jambo you are hinting at, but I assume it goes along the line with both "personalities" having different trains of thought simultanously. I highly doubt that this is possible, based on everything I have learned so far about the human brain.

I also don't understand why you always make a reference to the problem of qualia. So what, we can't look into another person's mind. We do not have to. There are ways of showing the processes that are going on in someone's brain at a certain time. And it is through these methods that science will reveal that this tulpa bullshit is nothing but fairytale horsedung.

Ofc, only if science even takes it seriously enough to waste time and money on researching it...
