Low Latent Inhibition (LLI) is a cognitive trait where the brain has a reduced ability to filter out irrelevant stimuli, leading to heightened awareness of details in the environment.

We're building a Moon Base!

@NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions.

Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: https://t.co/IJXA7xYwju

We are working to restore mobility that was lost due to disease or spinal cord injury by allowing participants to control robotic arms with their thoughts.

See how this is possible.

Today, Jared Isaacman (@NASAAdmin) was sworn in as NASA’s 15th Administrator. At a time of intense competition across the last frontier, he will lead the most talented minds in the nation to ignite the orbital economy, usher in world-changing scientific discovery, and return American astronauts to the Moon – this time, to stay.

America’s historic mission in space continues. 🚀 https://t.co/zbSZLTZFiv

This is the Titan series surveillance drone from Comrado Aerospace - incubated at IISc in BLR

The founder Ansar is also the Program Director of UAV platforms at ARTPark (which is a part of IISc)

Interestingly, Comrado hasn't raised VC money (so far) but has received grant funding from Dept of Science and Technology (DST) and the Govt of Karnataka

This heightened perception can lead to a sense of solitude because they can no longer participate in the superficial aspects of social life that others take for granted, making it hard to connect with the "herd".

He who sees too much, end up not fitting in anywhere.

- Friedrich Nietzsche.

[Arvind Kumar @TheArchinaut]

"He who sees too much" is a quote attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche, suggesting that a person with profound insight and awareness of underlying truths, hypocrisies, and illusions may become alienated and find it difficult to fit into society.

@Arcfunmi 2:
It's not like an idiot decided to build a round opening into a "fancy" café.
The round door is an instrument to protect the heritage architecture of the riverside.

@Arcfunmi This is a re-use of former "dock storage" by the Vltava river:
about 20 "round mini-warehouses" by the river used to lay dormant -> were recently re-designed for cafes, galleries, and public toilets (uniform projects for safety, infrastructure, connectivity, etc.).

The world doesn't change just by looking at it. You transform it by the way you decide to live there.
Look upward. The sky is serene. And I believe the answers are up there, lying in wait.

[Arvind Kumar @TheArchinaut]

We do not create or discover new things for our own pleasure. but for the advancement of all of humanity and the growth of knowledge.
In an effort to learn something new and transform the world, we ascended to the sky.

So next time you’re pondering life, remember: you’re a walking, talking bundle of neurons, built from stardust, somehow aware of itself. The brain’s the ultimate enigma, and we’re only at the beginning of cracking its code.
What do you think consciousness is?

#Neuroscience

[Arvind Kumar @TheArchinaut]

Ever think about how wild it is that me talking right now is just neurons firing in my brain, turning into speech that sparks neurons in yours? This thread’s about demystifying the brain, the organ that basically is you.

A thread on #Brain #Consciousness🧵

[Arvind Kumar @TheArchinaut]

We don’t have the answers yet. The Standard Model of physics gets us from the Big Bang to now, but consciousness? That’s still a mystery. Is it about the density of connections? The complexity of matter “talking” to itself? We’re just starting to unravel it.
