Leonard Reads Vonnegut and Discusses Ethics

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Bless_You,_Mr._Rosewater

  • savage and stupid and entirely inappropriate and unnecessary and humorless American class system

  • defines the problem that Eliot is trying to address as "How to love people who have no use". Those whom Eliot tries to assist are life's terminal losers, unhinged by their lack of comprehension of the indifferent system that has produced them

  • Money is clearly a dehumanizing force for Vonnegut, as is the class system that begat families like the Rosewaters

Notes from Mad Scientist

• Hyperlexia

  • Children with hyperlexia II will benefit from being a part of special education classrooms. Regular classrooms may be too stimulating for them, and they may learn better in a one-on-one situation.

• Inferior frontal gyrus

  • The inferior frontal gyrus has a number of functions including the processing of speech and language in Broca's area. Neural circuitry has been shown to connect different sites of stimulus to other regions of response including other subdivisions and also other frontal gyri.

  • Language processing

    • The left opercular part of the inferior frontal gyrus is a part of the articulatory network involved in motor syllable programs. The articulatory network also contains the premotor cortex, and the anterior insula. These areas are interrelated but have specific functions in speech comprehension and production. The articulatory network acts mostly when the vocal tract moves to produce syllables. The pars opercularis acts indirectly through the motor cortex to control the motor aspect of speech production, and codes motor programs for this system, while the auditory cortex (via the temporoparietal junction in the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure) houses a series of sensory targets. Together, these areas function as a sensory-motor loop for syllable information coding

• Mirror Neurons

• From Neurons to Social Beings: Short Review of the Mirror Neuron System Research and Its Socio-Psychological and Psychiatric Implications

  • The mirror mechanism is a basic brain mechanism that transforms sensory representations of others' behaviour into one's own motor or visceromotor representations concerning that behaviour. According to its location, it may fulfil a range of cognitive functions, including action and emotion understanding.

  • The mirror mechanism is also involved in others' emotion processing. Brain-imaging and lesion studies indicate that identifying others' emotions may depend on one's own visceromotor processes and representations concerning those emotions.

  • Mirror-based understanding has been defined as an 'understanding from the inside' because it provides a route to knowledge of others, which can be taken by capitalizing on one's own motor or visceromotor representations. This also suggests that how people experience their own actions, emotions and vitality forms may share a core phenomenal aspect with how people experience the same actions, emotions and vitality forms when observing others displaying them.

  • The mirror mechanism is a basic brain mechanism that transforms sensory representations of others' behaviour into one's own motor or visceromotor representations concerning that behaviour. According to its location in the brain, it may fulfil a range of cognitive functions, including action and emotion understanding. In each case, it may enable a route to knowledge of others' behaviour, which mainly depends on one's own motor or visceromotor representations.

  • Neural correlates of MNS activity in humans Electroencephalography (EEG) methods have mainly focused on mu rhythms. Mu rhythms refer to sensorimotor activity in alpha bands (8–13 Hz in adults, 6–9 Hz in children) recorded over central scalp locations C3, Cz, and C4; it is also referred to as “rolandic alpha.” Mu power decreases during both execution and observation of movements, and even when imagining movements. It is therefore called mu suppression or mu power desynchronization. Some studies have reported infant’s mu rhythm in central regions of the brain. A recent EEG study indicated greater mu suppression (putatively reflecting mirror neuron activation) in infants and adults when observing transitive movements compared to intransitive movements.

  • fMRI study found bilateral premotor and parietal activations during object-related movements, and only premotor activation during non-object-related movements.
