took the http://t.co/AfbyC4fNat quiz (p375) and the results seemed pretty accurate!

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

maybe that's part of the reason why Genie learned so rapidly in the beginning

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

sleep spindles as an indicator of mental retardation vary, AND a higher number is associated with sleep-dependent memory consolidation

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

What did such a high number of sleep spindles mean for Genie? It could have pointed to mental deficiency from birth, BUT

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

about the term "basic" - not exactly related to current class material but I thought it was interesting: http://t.co/KnjIxHUAHM

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

follow-up: I think that would be a learned response to learning, yes?

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

does it count as a conditioned response that now receiving ANY homework assignment fills me with a little dread?

@emcapp_p YES. I think this morning specifically I dreamed something loud and musical and annoying was trying to fight me.

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

@cjkirk_P maybe they're less certain, or more of the world is a mystery, so they have more things that are scary to them?

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

@egjor_P I've heard music(at least with words) can actually make it harder to get to sleep, but I don't know about dreams.

[Elizabeth Chmura @EAChmur_P]

@AMSAND_P I find myself trying to force myself to dream about a certain thing right before I go to sleep, but it doesnt seem to work for me!

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

@cjkirk_P there are a bunch of "hypnotize yourself" videos on youtube (just audio); maybe one of them is related to lucid dreaming?

[Olivia Pollock @orpol_p]

I often find when I am enjoying a dream i wake up right before the good part is about to happen

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

@bdturn_P yes; I think it's to keep you from hurting yourself if you wake up unexpectedly. Or maybe it's just leftover from being in REM

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

@bcassidy_P which it's hard to focus on since we're trying to live-tweet at the same time, right?

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

so many people wondering about wires affecting your sleep/dreams...maybe once you're asleep, those external influences don't matter so much?

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

@bdturn_P supposedly, you wake up just before you die (example: falling dreams)

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

@VWPhil_P @kjblock_P but then you HAVE seen her, if you've seen pictures!

[Alexandra Meads @eameads_P]

@mmshe_P @blebel_P It is pretty scary waking up unable to move BUT I've heard that it may be to keep us from injuring ourselves
