cognition

For all we know cognition happens at a certain speed and any attempts past that are troublesome.

As an embodied cognition guy, I disagree here pretty strongly.

What if they could be revived in body, but their cognition/personality information was all lost... are they alive?

Especially when there are so many proven, healthy, effective ways to enhance cognition.

Only recently has it been recognized that the cerebellum is also involved in cognition [2].

But in the acute case, where there are localized lesions to the parts of the cerebellum thought to be involved in cognition, the effect seems to be primarily cognitive.

But I doubt you can say things like "it automatically puts you at an optimal weight, makes you feel full, and improves your focus and cognition" without having some actual data backing you up.

"Soylent is perfectly balanced and optimized for your body and lifestyle, meaning it automatically puts you at an optimal weight, makes you feel full, and improves your focus and cognition.

I have noticed a definite drop in my long-term memory, concentration, and general cognition, but I compensate by being better at picking important problems, being able to pattern match a large library of experiences, and not panicking.

"During the behavior-evaluation exercise, people with high justice sensitivity showed more activity than average participants in parts of the brain associated with higher-order cognition.

" And, of course, neurons have an underlying level of noise, that usually gets buried under actual cognition--so, when you turn the "gain" up on what "becomes brain cells", suddenly you start forming 'concepts' for ideas that are made of nothing at all--the feeling of seeing shared properties between things that have none.

By the end of \n kindergarten, the Montessori children performed better on standardized \n tests of reading and math, engaged in more positive interaction on \n the playground, and showed more advanced social cognition and \n executive control.\n\nTL;DR: Montessori kids turn out better on many measures when controlling for "bright parents".

> But if people can live missing massive chunks of their brain, is it really believable that tiny differences can cause such massive societal outcomes?Congratulations, you are today's demonstration of 'proving too much': you have also just proven that things like lesions and scars cannot affect cognition, warp personalities, create agnosias and aphasias, and result in bizarre conditions like those Oliver Sacks has so memorably documented, because lesions're so tiny and such small parts of the brain - 'if people can live missing massive chunks of their brain, is it really believable that tiny differences can cause such massive societal outcomes?
