]]> Comment on It’s the socialising, not just the bingo: new take on brain training by increasementalpower http://phineasgage.wordpress.com/2007/11/05/its-the-socialising-not-just-the-bingo-new-take-on-brain-training/#comment-480 increasementalpower Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:32:18 +0000 http://phineasgage.wordpress.com/2007/11/05/its-the-socialising-not-just-the-bingo-new-take-on-brain-training/#comment-480 Don't kid yourself. Those bingo games are not cheap, and neither is a good dinner out for social interaction. Still your point is well taken. I do brain training in the form of brainwave CDs. I have found it just as important to quiet your brain, as to stimlulate it. Especially when you are talking about general life fulfillment as the goal- and not just memorization. Social interaction, however, is what it is all about in a sense. After all, ho are we without other people in our lives? Don’t kid yourself.

I enjoyed your posts, but agree that this kind of thing only works if you update a lot. Good luck with your PhD track! Well, sorry to see you go!

The Internet Journal of Neurology [peer-reviewed serial on the Internet]. 2007. Volume 6, Number 1). This conceptual work of DH Marks envisions a veritable Rosetta Stone, allowing two-way movement between actual imaging data and a database of activation maps from neuroimaging studies. A wide range of faces, objects, places and concepts have unique activation map correlates, which are termed Cognitive Engrams. The presence of specific Cognitive Engrams within neuroimaging data should allow the identification of the actual thought which led to that brain activation – a form of applied mind reading.
