Most people will tell you be happy and grateful, someone has it worse than you. You are taught to be okay no matter what you're going through. But our need to meet a standard for a happy life is biological. Even the brain understand there are things to avoid and things to gain. You cant be okay with physical abuse because you have it better than someone who has severe physical abuse. Your brain will want to avoid and its normal and survival.
The discussion about addiction and reward deficiency along with her voice is so tranquil and hypnotizing I had the best sleep last night. Extremely hypnotizing
12:20 This graph showing Reward/Approach and Threat/Avoidance looks a lot like Marc Brackett's graph he calls the mood meter. He works with SEL, social emotional learning. His graph uses the four quadrants so people can take more specific notice of their own (and other people's) emotions. The vertical scale shows how much energy we feel, from very charged and excited to very calm or lethargic or sleepy. The horizontal scale shows pleasantness, with unpleasant being on the left and pleasant on the right. People of all ages can plot their emotions at any given moment on the chart, then decide how to act, instead of just reacting to feelings their environment stimulates in them. So people can be more proactive with how they react to different situations and even plan for recurring ones. Something like this can be immediately effective to stop violent outbursts in children and to encourage people to pursue longer range goals that can't be achieved in short amounts of time.
I remember someone telling me he worked with computer software, that when he asked his boss for a raise, his boss said he can't bring himself to paying someone so young more money. So he quit and started his own business and made that extra money. And the company he left had to hire three people to replace him. That opens a lot of questions: how do we get more performance from others (or ourselves)? How do we convince our boss to pay us more so we don't need to go out on our own? Or was this the organic nature of economics playing itself out?

Does anyone know (or is able provide a link to tell me) how to score the BIS/BAS scale? I've answered the questionnaire but I'm not familiar with 'reverse scoring' and I'm not sure how to interpret my scores.

once the five sense pathways that are blocked from the substances and chemicals to the point of excess the clients senses can no longer function therefore the client dies the different senses are determined blockage of that sense by the different chemicals and substances blocking a specific sense

No, I'm fine with you saying "you misunderstood." But you haven't explained how. I don't mind alternate opinions, so please explain what she meant and how I missed her point.
sounds reasonable but not only reasonable demonsrated as usefull will try these methods with some east side street workers to alter there response to simulaswill try and keep you informed as to the results. I expect this will take time since I cant afford to pay the street worker each day
Following a solid few years of partying I am a lot more deadpan, low arousal that I used to be (I’ve never been high) but I’m extremely flat, with anhedonia and fairly regular bouts of depression-like symptoms. Please, if someone smarter than I has any suggestion for some meds I can take to fix this…life is unbearable
That does not sound fun. Do you get enough good sleep, exercise and a relatively healthy diet? Do you have close friends that you can open your heart to? If you dont then I would suggest focussing on getting that in order instead of focussing on your thoughts and feelings.... Because you are not your thoughts and feeling, you are the one experiencing those thoughts and feelings.
Thanks, this was helpful. : ) I come across as very harsh I think, which is probably why my original comment was labeled as "spam." I appreciate you working with me anyway.
this kind of research would profit a lot from interaction with psychics, and the replication prerequisite (through Lab tests) would still be satisfied. But while we do not refrain from using computers, which use chips most probably re engineered from CPUs retrieved from alien space crafts, in our research, the regular human dismisses this type of assistance (through psychics) showing that the main purpose of these Psychology faculties (and other faculties, no unilateral accusation intended) is not assisting others (for example those who for some reason lack of selfmotivation) in an effective and quick manner. They are making dog (Pavlov 1890) and mice tests for over a century now and they still know almost nothing of the brain.
+KnockandWatch "interaction with psychics" If there are real psychics, why have none of them claimed the Randi prize? Not even one person has, and several have tried. "the regular human dismisses this type of assistance" Perhaps because there are no psychics who can prove their gift is real under lab conditions? If there were, people might be less inclined to discount them. Certainly, if their main purpose is in assisting others, it would be a valuable proof of concept to recruit others. And yet, there are none who can prove their gift under lab conditions. I wonder why that is?
Still cant understand why they dont build AI more Inspired off the brain, unless they are starting to change thier approach. Neural net works are inspired off of the brain, In 2015 - 2016 started to take off, so seems like nature Is trying to give people that build AI, a hint that's a pretty reasonable Avenue to peruse. The approach matters. But idk if in 2021 researchers have enough use data to inspire some more designs In AI. But whatever I got my own stuff to focus on. Elong musk Is a funny guy lol good luck with them predictions 😒🥱🤦♂️
I'm still waiting. Here, I'll go first. She said animal experiments weren't necessary for neurobiology. I said that is non-sense. You said I misunderstood her objection. I asked how. You repeated, once again, that I was wrong, but neglected to explain how. I suspect you're just upset that someone would defend the necessity of animal experiments, but you haven't made any arguments either way, you just say I'm "wrong" and "misunderstanding" over and over without any explanation at all.
she looks like a kind of disheveled Tina Fey? I really enjoyed this video. The idea of the challenge of doing something being like a ramp, but once you get up it enjoying things was very helpful for me!
Here is a suggestion: Pls have Picture in Picture streams instead of switching between presentational content and the speaker all the time. The presenter does a fantastic job in presenting scientific findings, however I would prefer hearing the voice while looking at the slides.
Me too but then I think about all the rats sitting in pet store in my city that are about to be eaten by snakes today and how my landlord would feel if he came in to fix the toilet and discovered 6,542 pets.
If I was married to her I’d want her to massage me and just keep talking about brain chemistry and the impact of various neurotransmitter and neuromodulators. What each of their impact is on the wanting vs liking and motivational processes involved with reward
Since nowadays economists occupy themselves with the Studies about Happiness (versus psychologists) , the International studies about the Happiness in different countries are really a joke. The questions are (example)" 1) are you satisfied with your financial security? 2) do you feel safe ? 3) can you participate in a democratic process? and so on. What part of the brain is firing here? Probably none. This kind of study is about the satisfaction of the ego, and not about the dopamine-relasing-fall-in-love-state....which is "happiness" .
Her lecture would have more weight if she was an actual physician. So her credentials mitigate the validity of her claims. However, she is quite interesting, albeit boring.
Why? A physician may also be a clinical researcher, but there is nothing to suggest that a patient treatment caseload places a physician in a superior position scientifically. They are two very different ways of gathering and interpreting information. Also -- how is it you find someone "interesting, albeit boring"? Bit of a direct contradiction in terms, isn't it?
Since when is the claim of a physician worth more than a professor of psychology when talking about the brain? Credentials aren't the important thing anyway. Either the argument seems logical and the evidence seems robust or it doesn't.

Avoidance is also the avoid-dance because your dancing around what your trying to avoid. Also when you avoid certain things what you create is a-void.
I see what you did there. 🤔👍

What happens when you pursue a goal you think you want, and when you attain it, you find it's not what you want? How do you shift purposes?
Brain will find something else for you, if your reward/motivation system is working properly.

Existential Exigencies.
To dismiss the history of neurobiology as "basic common sense," as if it could just be somehow inferred, is astonishing.

Seeing and hearing those videos with the rats, espicaly the narration on what was done to them makes me physically ill.
You have to propose a solution while criticising an existing one. What's your solution, then?
Go work in a farm for a bit. Or even better, get some animals to tend.
