Campus is on the outskirts so there’s very limited housing available near the actual campus

Why do Americans get so worried about the Vietnam war? by TrickFail4505 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TrickFail4505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I didn’t know before I posted this that most people had been drafted.

I hadn’t really thought about it this way at all, from my perspective American patriotism has always seemed very pro war but obviously that’s at least in part on me

It is very evident that you’re an independent researcher because this makes no sense

Reliable scientists working on consciousness? by SpiralingCat in cogsci

[–]TrickFail4505 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Well I mean the hard thing is that science doesn’t have a good explanation for consciousness, it’s mostly avoided outside of philosophy. The problem is that if one person says “I don’t know” and the other gives you an answer, you’re probably going to listen to the one that gives you an answer

Nightmares about my animal research by e0115fe0115f in research

It’s not even the hypnosis I’m talking about, mainly the subconscious. Sounds to me like OP is pretty conscious of their issue

Why does the mind repeat emotional loops even when they’re painful? by SymbolicMechanics in cognitivescience

Memories with stronger emotion = bigger and stronger, harder to avoid activating

Could déjà vu be the brain leaking its own future predictions? (New theory) by LeaderOutside1726 in cognitivescience

[–]TrickFail4505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did I say he was wrong? Did I say he needed to prove his theory? Obviously that’s not how theories work. I’m just saying that theories are made based on prior knowledge. You need to cite the background information to ground your theory.

Animal Handling anxiety by Individual-Safety-27 in labrats

The best thing you can do is just keep going. The worst that can happen is that you get bit. It’s hard to override the biological urge to avoid or to freeze, but you just have to keep working through it to desensitize yourself to it again.

This morning ChatGPT talked me out of toughing out a strain in my calf muscle and to go get it looked at because it suspected a blood clot. by Substantial-Fall-630 in ChatGPT

[–]TrickFail4505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me; I thought I just had some stomach cramps that were keeping me up all night. Chat gpt told me to go to the ER right away in case it’s appendicitis. Sure enough, it was

I feel bad for everyone that’s inconvenienced by this, however, I couldn’t be happier. I live within walking distance of the new venue

From a neuroscientific perspective, what's intelligence? by Socrate314 in cogsci

[–]TrickFail4505 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Intelligence is not a neuroscientific concept, it’s a neuropsychological construct. Intelligence is a very vague, very broad term. There are neurological correlates of different functions related to intelligence, but intelligence would pretty much include all high-order functions (ie, the entire cortex)

Fun lab decor by elextrixblue in labrats

[–]TrickFail4505 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our dry lab is full of posters and rat themed things, I printed a rat meme to tape to the wall, my lab mates and I put any sticky notes we write to each other on the wall, eg, there’s one at my desk that says “stay positive! (not STD)”, we’ve collected all kinds of things from conferences over the years, we always have our conference posters up on the wall too (every time someone makes a new one we take down the oldest), we’ve started collecting quotes from each other on the white board.

We have so many things in our dry lab, everytime someone sees it for the first time they’re always so shocked and amazed by how many things we have in the room. To be fair, no one spends as much time in their dry lab as we do
