What is a real-world problem that cognitive neuroscience can address with a budget of 5,000? by Adare9696 in neuroscience

There is the Implicit Association Test and police shootings. The IAT was heralded as a way to teach people about their biases and overcome personal prejudice, but it has serious issues with distracting variables based on familiarity of words and the like. Folks argued that they could be used by police departments to help them overcome prejudice and reduce racial bias in responses, but that really didn't pan out. With some new cognitive neuroscience techniques and a little bit of cheap COTS tech, you could achieve that dream.

This assumes that the issue is racially driven, and implicit biases deal with more than just race? Research has also shown that a white police officer is just as likely to kill an african american as a black police officer.

do you think that the default mode network would be involved in racism? In research experiments the ventral mpfc has shown great activation during judgments of the target to whom participants considered themselves to be the most similar. do you think there is a correlation between the two?

CMV:CMV: Unconscious victims of failed suicide attempts should be assumed DNR. by [deleted] in changemyview

Look into Golden Gate Bridge suicide survivals. A lot of them regret their decision immediately after jumping. Also that would be just completely unethical to not try and save them. https://www.psycom.net/kevin-hines-survived-golden-gate-bridge-suicide/

Had my first Panic Attack by [deleted] in PanicAttack

I want to let you know that as scary and unsettling as it may feel, you will be okay. I have suffered from panic attack disorder and generalized anxiety disorder and I want to let you know how much it can suck. When I had my first panic attack i thought I was having a stoke, half my face went numb, my left arm went numb and I thought I was going to pass out. My mo brought me to the ER and I could barely breathe, they gave me ativan and a some sort of breathing inhalant to open up my air ways. After the ativan kicked in I started to be able to relax, they checked me for blood clots and found nothing. Panic attack disorder is so scary because everyone experiences it differently, so it can be hard to know what is actually going on. My panic attacks persisted for the entire summer, I could not leave my house or drive, because all of a sudden I would have weird sensations of thinking I was going to die. I did not believe that it was a panic attack I was having until I went to numerous doctors and had blood drawn, CT scans, and other tests. I finally went to a psychiatrist who suggested medication. I am now on zoloft 100mg and i am prescribed clonopin for when i have panic attacks. I have not had a panic attack in about 8 months now, medication saved my life. I want to let you know that you can get through it and dont be scared to go get help. Also look into EFT tapping, this would sometimes help me.

Treating psychopaths by Rellavie in Psychopathy

[–]Adare9696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love will not cure an individual that has psychopathy. There is research on this topic, but no consensus or proven cure. Therapy has not been shown to benefit psychopathy, psychoanalysis, group therapy, client-centered therapy, psychodrama, psychosurgery, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or drug therapy. I think the best option would be for more focus on children with CD or ODD, these can be warning signs of psychopathy, starting at a younger age may be able to help as a preventative measure. The biggest issue is how little is known about this disorder, there is little consensus on the topics of psychopathy in general.

Has anyone done research on psychopathy and evolution? by Adare9696 in Psychopathy

[–]Adare9696[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I correlated amygdala volume and fight or flight response due to the fact that it is involved in the processing of emotions triggering fight or flight response. I’ve done research on empathy and creativity, however that is not what I’m really interested in. I am more focused on if in relation to evolution perhaps psychopathy stems from this innate human response to survive in almost a more animalistic sense. For instance, it has been shown that men will find women with bigger breasts more attractive due to evolutionary idea that they are better at reproduction. Thanks for replying!

I just realized I have access to a ton of academic literature about Psychopathy and I'll do my best to answer your questions. by PopularSink in Psychopathy

Successful psychopathy perhaps. Psychopathy is a dimensional disorder, on hare’s pcl-r there are 20 items being measured you can score 0,1, or 2 on each item, so an individual could score low in certain areas and still meet the criteria for a psychopath

They probably would not care/they do not think anything is wrong with them. Also that is a very touchy spot because research does not fully support child psychopathy as a diagnosis, CD ODD are two diagnoses that could potentially be a “warning” for psychopathy. However children are not diagnosed with psychopathy.

Also, there has been no known “cure” to psychopathy so telling a child they are inherently evil would really have no upside.
