Presumably when Berkett says "they" she's referring to DataFarmers, as illustrated in The Social Dilemma. But it did make me stop and wonder, to what degree are fediverse apps inadvertently mirroring this relentless emotional activation, and other harmful patterns implicit in the DataFarms we're aiming to replace?
Maybe as well as accessibility - or as part of it - we need to be emphasing emotional wellness in our app designs? Eg asking whether infinite scroll is a sensible default.
Kathryn Berkett gave a talk on 'Neuroscience of Device Zombies' at TEDxTauranga;

It was excluded from the library of TEDX talks on the official TED website, which tells you everything you need to know about their biases.

I'm interested in reading studies about how #covid infections affect young #children & #teenagers with #autism.
Especially on how multiple infections can affect #autistic #neurology.

Does human episodic memory 🧠 depend on context-invariant or conjunctive coding of single neurons in the human hippocampus?
A recent TiCS (https://www.cell.com/trends/cognitive-sciences/fulltext/S1364-6613(25)00031-2) paper stimulated a very interesting debate about the nature of hippocampal coding in human episodic memory that i found very insightful.
The discussion centers around context-invariant coding of concept neurons (CN) vs. conjunctive coding of episode-specific neurons (ESN) in the hippocampus, both following different lines of thinking about the HCs involvement in episodic memory.

Our primary instance is shutting down and we ended up repurposing another account however it appears that instance is unstable and may be shut down at a future date so 3rd times hopefully don't have to jump ship again for a while #introduction - Updated: 2025-08-10
We're The Weather System (Athena's Realm System), We're Trans fem, and we're an officially diagnosed autistic, bipolar and dissociative identity disorder system, we a collection of various leftist, and believe strongly in queer, and neurodiversity rights movements, we view plurality in general as neurodivergence
Our pronouns are Su/Sudo/Suselves, however She/Her/Herselves, and They/Them/Theirselves
We are most likely to toot about #Medicine, with focus on #Genetics, #Epigenetics, #Bioinformatics, and #Neuroscience giving our focus back in uni was Genetics of Human Disease, and Neuroscience but we are likely to talk about a whole range of medical topics, besides medicine we are likely to toot about #meteorology and #geology, with specific interests in #SynopticMeteorology#TropicalCyclones / #Hurricanes / #Typhoons / #TropicalStorms, #ExtratropicalCyclones, #SubtropicalCyclones, and #Tornadoes, among other topic, and we may toot about #Geology, #Minerals, and #Vulcanology, and what ever else is on our mind, we collected #MyLittlePony and are a fan of every generation of MLP, also we collect #WildManes and Radioactive stuff and play #EliteDangerous
edit extra info: [Also to note we're storm chasers, so we may occasionally post photos and media from chases, our focus is usually on Tropical Cyclones within the Australian Region Basin with mainly focus on the Coral Sea, these will usually be marked with the Tropical Cyclone and Hurricane tags]
See attached thread for System Information, System Membership 58+
Our system name is subject to change, it was previously the Athena's Realm System, however only one member, arguably two members made that decision on behalf of the entire system, without consulting us, so we're in the process of trying out system names to see which fits us best, but for the time being we will display both "Athena's Realm" and the current trialing system name so it is less confusing for those who know us by our old system name

Fellow multilingual people, how strongly do you:
1) “think” in a certain language
2) use a different thinking language
3) feel that you have different thoughts based on the language you think in
4) how related is the language you speak to the way you think ?
Also people who are in the field (cognitive neuroscience? Linguistics?), what’s some good current material on the topic?
I know it’s a lot of weird questions that are probably impossible to answer.
FWIW I can’t really pinpoint if I think in a certain language. I do think my personality changes a bit or rather, I feel like my personality changes (for example the cliche of the rude French person with a proclivity for sexualized language). Certain things are easier to express in a certain language and thus influence the recursive thinking-speaking/writing loop (ever tried to explain something technical in French, or do Deleuze style poetic rambling in English?), but it feels like an externality.
