Brain Scans Show Relationship Between Guilt, Depression

posted on Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:40:31 -0700

As if feeling guilty wasn't bad enough, a new study by the National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke finds that brain imaging confirms a deep association between guilt and depression. Scientists studied 29 healthy subjects using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan their brains while they contemplated various social behaviors. Researchers charted for the first time how different parts of the brain correspond to feelings provoked by different types of socially inapp

WHEN FRUITS ARE VEGETABLES

posted on Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:47:00 -0700

A voter’s behavior at the polling place reduces to a decision. Hold that idea. This is analogous to a shopper’s behavior. How much time does a shopper spend in deciding what tomato in a pile of tomatoes will provide the biggest payoff in return for their investment of “selection” time? Why is it that a given shopper will select several candidate tomatoes And then from this selection decide on a single tomato? We enter, here, into the realm of behavioral economics. Although it must be true tha

“I thought if I held out long enough, someone would find a cure”

posted on Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:33:34 -0700

I have been reading about self efficacy beliefs especially relating to beliefs about returning to work, and the thought crossed my mind that people can hold contradictory beliefs about their condition and their confidence to do things despite pain, but that it probably has some sort of emotional cost. Not sure that I’ve found

Don’t Let Know-Nothings Dumb Us All Down 24 08 2008 . . .by cynically conspiring to devalue the “power of the individual human mind to think” (as Spencer Tracy’s Clarence Darrow-esque character put it in Inherit the Wind.) Daryl puts his own good mind to use in this rant against ignorance as a potent political weapon. What say we start now to repurpose academic “accountability” laws, use that concept to hold the conspiracy of know-nothings accountable to the people for all they’ve done to s
