Life was good when @DrYohanJohn used to post blogs like this one:
https://t.co/tTceD8hGlG
It's insaneee. Has everything: imagination, philosophical aspect, storytelling etc.!
Trying to find such pieces/blogs where curiosity turns into pure euphoria.
@yoginho I'm not able to understand: "their worldview is based on magic". Am I missing something or is it intentionally written to shift the paradigm i.e. mechanisms are magic, not the emergence?
(PS: Really appreciate your work. Wish to learn everything you have put online. ) (2/2)
@Icarus98378742 @WorldImagining @DrYohanJohn@GeorgeLakoff Okayy. I need underatand what autonomy is to perfectly get your reply in the tweet. Thank you for the link. Will go through it.
@WorldImagining @DrYohanJohn@GeorgeLakoff By this question, I mean to ask, the conditions for autopoiesis can be applicable for nervous system too? And thus for any system?
Does this suggest that we can't really connect two different levels of complexity or define a boundary between them or how one level of complexity produces another level of complexity but we can just map between two levels and study them? ...1/3
@DrYohanJohn Okay,Thank you!
Also,may I ask for softcopy of your PhD thesis?I have been reading books and papers on neuroscience but I feel reading thesis not just makes me aware about the subject but also about developments in the field and research methodology too and gives a general idea.
At one level, neurons and neurotransmitters are interacting with each other following nonlinear dynamics and from those complex interactions,thoughts and feelings are resulted like magic?
(Sorry for limited knowledge. Am just asking with genuine wish to learn it.)
@DrYohanJohn
..(eg How neurotransmitters induce feelings, how neurons produce thoughts, etc?)
If later is true, isnt it like relating two data sets by some statistical model etc and showing correlation as causation?(Not criticizing,just asking out of curiosity with my limited knowledge) 2/3
@sanewman1 Can someone please explain this tweet? I think this might be roughly about holistic and mechanistic approaches. But not very sure about it and want to understand what this tweet literally means!
Our lab at Georgetown University has new R01 funding and we are hiring another postdoc! We study mechanisms of brain disorders using in vivo and slice electrophysiology, molecular approaches and behavior. Please RT!
Thinking about biological collections lately I'm reminded of the time that somehow at age 4, I got a personal tour of the @UCBerkeley entomology collection (Essig?) from a kind scientist (anybody know who?!). Asked my parents how on earth THAT happened, and it turns out...๐คฏ
@DrYohanJohn So if you get time,could u pls write down names of books you have read on, b it of any topic, physics, neuroscience, cog sci and like to read about biology, maths, philosophy, music, literature, as I also like all these? Or just a pic of your whole bookshelf! Thanks in advance.
@DrYohanJohn I followed you on twitter just because the word "neuro" might have been written in your profile. Whenever I opened twitter, I came across your tweets and turned on notification for your tweets & lately I have been a fan of your fundamental knowledge about wide range of topics.
