A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I always imagine it more like neural networks. simply based on a lot of training and experience. As an example think of times when you step onto a non moving escalator. Your mind definitely knows its not moving but you still can't defeat the trained expectation of jerk.
My brain is like a neural network? No way...
more like neural networks are maybe like your brain? dunno not an expert, just a feeling
neural networks are like how small parts of your brain look like they work
Layered as well. Little bits process very specific things and simplify it for the beast.
Take shrooms and watch as the divisions between the little bits break down into absolute chaos :D
Acid, too. Dissociatives for the body as well, to some extent.
Have you ever swiped on your phone, but the screen doesn't move (due to end of content, or unknowingly being an unswipable screen), and you feel your eyes jerk automatically in reflex, predicting the movement that didn't happen?
thank you for enlightening me to the fact that i am definitely not addicted to my phone
I always thought about how interesting it is that handing things to people is so reliable. We just kind of know exactly when the other person has grabbed something enough for us to let go.
And then there's the rare moment when you think they have it so you let go and it falls to the floor 😭
