Petroleum engineering - I'd also love to be a roughneck for a little while. Not too long, just long enough to become grossly enormous and grossly rich in equal measure.

Maybe throw in bioastronomy (is that even a real field?) as well because that's cool as shit.

This, astrophysics is pretty much the most interesting academic field IMO. But to actually be an astrophysicist would be extremely frustrating (look at the poor SETI guys, decades of searching and searching and nothing concrete yet).

Your post just rings with child-like enthusiasm for "human augmentation", like it will be a fascinating thing to research or contribute to a mankind - that doesn't give a fuck by you. You'll get sick of the data crunching, programming, and etc., and eventually, you'll want to just leave everything behind to go live in the woods or something away from over-controlling, judgmental people, which is what most people are in the work environment. You think it matters if you ultimately model the full dimensionality (i.e., degrees of freedom) of a finger that constantly taps on a desk, by utilizing differential equations and some linear algebra? No, it's a waste of time: especially when it's all just abstract bullshit while there's a beautiful life out there you can go enjoy as long as you have enough income.

You Americans sicken me with your quixotic like dreams and overly verbose-like approach to life.

>implying I made that post
>implying I'm American
>implying all these implications

Sure do make a lot of assumptions.
I get what you're saying, but a lot of it is just as naive or ignorant as the strawman you're arguing against, and is not really specific to that field of study; the desire to drop everything is pretty much universal to shit jobs everywhere.

I mean, you can make an argument for whether human augmentation would be USEFUL (hint: it is), or if it's beneficial to our emotional wellbeing (arguably not), but it sure as shit is a fascinating thing to study.

And why the fuck are you on a science board if you think these things are verbose or just generally frivolous?

I've learned a good amount of functional analysis, but I've heard quantum foundations can take you 20+ years to learn, so I'm probably never going to have time to learn it unless it becomes a popular area of research.

Jesus man, a lot of neuroscience hopefuls. Looks like it's your season. I did my undergrad in neuroscience, then did 3 years of clinical research in the field, decided I didn't like it and switched to molecular genetics.

Neuroscience is not what you think it is. Probably.

Is computational Neuroscience far and apart from neuroscience?

[Anonymous No.6324255]

>>6324240
It's not that it makes you a quack, it's that you can't do the experiments if you don't have any money. Government funds research that promises to cure disease and improve lives, not answer meaning of life type questions. Unless you are a big wig PI -and even then, it is unlikely you will get a serious grant to pursue such research.

That said, some neuropathologies require studying particular pathways that may shed some light on consciousness.

There's also the whole media spotlight this sort of stuff attracts. It can be a good thing or a bad thing.

Molecular psychopathology

I have had 0 exposure to computational neuroscience, by which I suppose you mean learning algorithms/AI and all that. That means if it was being done at the University I worked at, it wasn't done in the neuroscience building.

>Do you study philosophy of approach like behaviorism etc?

No, that's not really neuroscience. That's what used to be called psychology but is now called biopsychology/neuropsychology.

Neuroscience is broken down into essentially: imaging, cell bio/genetics, development, and biophysics. Sort of. You generate knockout mice, stick em in expensive cages to run experiments. Block channels/enzymes and do PET scans. Sit under a gigantic microscope probing neuron channels to study the electrochemical. A lot of slicing, staining.

The clinical side of it is basically statistics, retroanalyses of large databases of patient data.
