This clip of Feynman never ceases to delight. To be clear, I brush my teeth every day. Oral Health episode of the Huberman Lab podcast in the works, so if you know someone here on X, or elsewhere whose work in this area (clinical or research) is particularly strong, do tell.

ChatGPT is a free personal assistant that will save you hours.

Here's the ultimate Cheat Sheet to master ChatGPT.

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

White noise as background to increase focus during work bouts, or 40Hz binaural beats— both of which by the way are available at zero cost online via YouTube, etc., are among the more useful data-supported tools for increasing focus. They won’t cure ADHD but they can assist focus in meaningful ways.

Many people don't know it, but ChatGPT can help you learn a new language.

You can turn it into your own personal teacher with just one prompt.

Here's how to learn a language easily using ChatGPT:

"Maurud har også evnet å prøve, egentlig å pålegge dem som utøver tvangsmiddel i politiet, til å følge reglene."

"Det likte noen i politiet dårlig, men riksadvokaten har tydeliggjort gang på gang at disse reglene skal følges, sa Staff." https://t.co/5U0GREBEqq

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

Emerging data from clinical trials points to potentially powerful use of psilocybin for the treatment of depression and certain forms of addiction, and perhaps compulsive disorders, too.

One of the key questions to arise from those studies is: "what is the relationship between the actual journey (the subjective experience under the influence of psilocybin) and the improvements in mood and other thought patterns that persist afterwards"?

If you think about it, this is a critical issue to resolve because it needn't be the case that the actual journey and insights therein are the cause of the antidepressant effects. The rewiring (neuroplasticity) events in the brain could, for instance, occur afterwards or be independent of the subjective experience of the journey. Or they could simply be the consequence of the serotonin receptor activation and strengthening of certain neural connections, or even neurogenesis.

During the Huberman Lab episode out now, I discuss the data related to all of these issues. I also discuss safety considerations, and who should absolutely avoid psilocybin, which, of course are critical issues. https://t.co/X7tKttfOku

A recent Huberman Lab and @SkoolAfter collaboration was directed at focus and how to use visual focus to improve mental focus for sake of learning. In the full animation, it describes those tools and techniques, and it covers ADHD, as well as the neurotransmitter systems that underlie focus, and some of the compounds that can increase focus.

It also covers optimal times of day to learn, and optimal durations of learning bouts. Anyone interested in improving their ability to focus and learn ought to find value and practical applications by watching the animation. https://t.co/RUg8JKDzUk

Pixar has 22 rules for storytelling.

Time is paradoxical. The present moment is both infinitely short & infinitely long. But time&space aren't objective scaffoldings of the external world, but rather an internal cognitive interface that we use to interact w/a purely mental, atemporal reality https://t.co/XGmevvehmp

[Chinese Grammar Wiki @ChineseGrammar]

This grammar structure is very commonly used in #Chinese, but is sometimes a little difficult to understand. 很 (hěn) can mean “very,” but it is more commonly used as a linking verb. Tip: remember not to use 是 (shì) before 很 (hěn).

There’s a perception that Xi Jinping’s state visit to Moscow was little more than a show of public support for Putin, since no major new agreements were announced. That perception is wrong, I argue in my latest piece for @ForeignAffairs. 1/16 https://t.co/LLTdCrPha8
