And in particular most of the neuroplasticity that people want is self-directed plasticity.

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
And in particular most of the neuroplasticity that people want is self-directed plasticity.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
The cells in those tissues can make changes sure, but it's our nervous system, that harbors this incredible ability to direct its own changes, in ways that we believe, or we're told will serve us better.
if I understood correctly one of the reasons you got into neuroscience and research at all is about this um interface between inputs and us and what sits in between those two things is this incredible feature of our nervous systems which is neuroplasticity or what I sometimes like to refer to as self-directed plasticity because unlike other species we can decide what we want to change and make the effort to adopt a second map of the auditory world or visual world or or take on a new uh a new set of learnings in any domain and we can do it if we put our mind to it if the incentives are high enough we can do it
