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.
The tinnitus. - You're releasing neurotransmitters. Yes. - I see. So, people self-amplify their own tinnitus by paying attention to it. - That's right. And the more anxious they are about it, because they think, "I'm dying. I need to go to the doctor." Which is smart. You should look out for new symptoms. Totally true. - They think they're dying? - They think they've got a brain tumor.
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 problem is, if you exceed some threshold, if I take this microphone and put it next to a speaker, you'll get feedback. Because the number one input to neurons in the cortex are other neurons in the cortex, not the outside world, neurons in the brain mostly talk to themselves, not the world. There's very few neurons in the eye. You know this, but most people are surprised. You don't have megapixels of resolution. You got kind of a smallish number, but you're moving around and you're using and sampling. Here we have a situation, where the way the brain is processing is over-focused, and you start to get oscillations. The neurons start to fire together, they start to wire together. Then you start to pay attention to it.
