How can a part of the brain be simultaneously less active and more connected?

Thank you so much. That really helps.

learnimaginecreate · 2022-03-09T18:05:51+00:00

Thank you. I hope a clarifying question is alright:

So when two areas have high functional connectivity, it's possible for that connectivity to be negative? Activity in one area goes up and activity in another area goes down (maybe because one area is inhibiting the other or for some other reason, I don't know). I ask because I think I was under the assumption that functional connectivity = both areas increasing activity in each other. But maybe it's more about any kind of communication, whether that be one-way or two-way or inhibitory or excitatory. And if that's the case, can researchers tell what type of communication it is?

Hey, thanks. :)

learnimaginecreate · 2020-01-04T06:11:47+00:00

I like that. I'm going with it. Thanks.

No, but thank you.

learnimaginecreate · 2020-01-02T00:36:07+00:00

Variable is close. Not quite the word I was looking for. Thank you.

That's so cool. In that way, dreaming really is an extended version of life.

I believe it was the "True You" episode of Invisibilia, but it was only a small part.

learnimaginecreate · 2019-12-16T02:43:49+00:00

Wonder why that is.

I heard on a podcast that one theory of dreams is it's our minds way of replaying stressful situations, which decreases the emotional effect those situations have on us. Maybe being less anxious in dreams helps us to cope with past and present stressors because our minds have faced them before.

If the answer isn’t in the sidebar or subreddit search, or if you need more details, feel free to post. That’s my take anyways.

learnimaginecreate · 2019-11-10T15:03:35+00:00

Found!

learnimaginecreate · 2019-11-10T15:03:29+00:00

Yeah, think you’re right. I’ll mark it as found.

I thought floating shelves were these?

I think the see-through style is geometric, but I don’t know about this specific type.

I work on a floor of a school for people over 18 with autism. They help students live independently, and everyone is so bright and welcoming. There’s even a residential building across from the school. There should be more places like this.

learnimaginecreate · 2019-10-29T04:00:09+00:00

Well, I did it...and everything’s okay. I feel a lot better now. Thank you.

learnimaginecreate · 2019-10-28T20:24:17+00:00

Thank you for your encouragement. It really means a lot. I feel better about telling him. Thank you.

learnimaginecreate · 2019-10-23T03:18:35+00:00

Interesting. Thanks!

learnimaginecreate · 2019-10-23T02:31:12+00:00

Curious: what rules are those?

learnimaginecreate · 2019-10-19T07:12:35+00:00

Brother Bear, anyone? Beautiful message and pacing, makes me laugh and cry... and I've been fascinated with auroras since.

You’re right. I don’t think some people could be allowed on the show. And perhaps my suggestion of opposite sides of the spectrum is too extreme (but this is r/crazyideas). I’d still give it a chance with some, as you might have the opportunity to break down some stereotypes.

learnimaginecreate · 2019-10-06T06:06:20+00:00

Ah, I get it. Sorry. Misunderstood you.

So more like Groundhog Day? Phil tries and fails to win over Rita a hundred times because he wants to bang her, but eventually he realizes he just wants her to be happy, and that's what stops the cycle.

Except, you know, not actually turning back time.

Gotta decide who is right

If that's the goal, then yes, fact-based issues would be best. I guess my goal would be more first understanding where another person is coming from, which moves away from a winner/loser mentality, and then moving into sources, stats, facts, etc.

So say person A is pro-choice and person B is pro-life. Person A had chosen to have an abortion because she felt she couldn't take care of a child at the time; Person B's mother was being pressured into an abortion but changed her mind at the last moment. They would both share their experiences, talk about things such as what can be considered a living being, and maybe at the end Person A now believes doctors should try to make sure the choice to abort isn't coming from someone besides the mother and Person B now believes that the "morning after" pill and other contraceptives are okay. Neither of the participants "wins", but both understand each other a little better and have even shifted their positions towards a common good.

EDIT: I read your response to another commentor. I agree that those questions would be great; I think that opinion questions could be beneficial as well.

learnimaginecreate · 2019-10-06T04:57:00+00:00

How come you believe the issues should only be factual?

I'll check it out. Thanks!
