To lower stress levels (ours and others’), practice cognitive reframing instead of venting

August 19, 2021 by Greater Good Science Center

We all get upset from time to time—some of us more than oth­ers. Whether we’re sad about the loss of a loved one, angry at friends or fam­i­ly, or fear­ful about the state of the world, it often feels good to let it all out.

CES: what would blow your mind — brain-zap­ping head­set or smart ket­tle? (Finan­cial Times):

“A three-year-old start-up called Thync want­ed to strap a pro­to­type of its brain-zap­ping head­set to my tem­ples, with the inten­tion of alter­ing my mood. As wear­able devices go, it sound­ed a refresh­ing change from [Read more…] about Next: Deal­ing with oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges from mood-alter­ing con­sumer wearables

Brain Researchers Start Mapping the Human ‘Connectome’

July 2, 2012 by SharpBrains

Brain Researchers Start Map­ping the Human ‘Con­nec­tome’ (Press release):

“Anal­o­gous to the Human Genome Project—which mapped the human genet­ic code—the Human Con­nec­tome Project seeks to map “the com­plete, point-to-point spa­tial con­nec­tiv­i­ty of neur­al path­ways in the brain,” accord­ing to Arthur W. Toga, PhD, and col­leagues of David Gef­fen School of Med­i­cine, Uni­ver­si­ty of Cal­i­for­nia Los Ange­les. They write, “For neu­ro­sci­en­tists and the lay pub­lic alike, the abil­i­ty to assess, mea­sure, and explore this wealth of lay­ered infor­ma­tion con­cern­ing how the brain is wired is a much sought after prize.”

“The 100 bil­lion neu­rons of the human ner­vous sys­tem inter­con­nect to form a rel­a­tive­ly small num­ber of “func­tion­al neur­al net­works” respon­si­ble for behav­ior and thought. How­ev­er, even after more than a cen­tu­ry of research, there is no com­pre­hen­sive map of the con­nec­tions of the human brain.”
