„Inspiration“ was taken during the field phase of a research project, where I assessed how visitors experience spending time at the Wilderness Park Zürich in terms of finding relief from daily stress and improving their health and wellbeing. The photo was imported using Aperture and edited in Affinity Photo. Editing included intensifying the “light beam”, adjusting colors, as well as slicing the picture to create a more harmonic impression.
Being a scientist does not mean that I spend most of my time in the lab. The opposite is true for me: There are only rare occasions when I see a lab from the inside, and at most occasions I am just a visitor in other scientists’ labs. On the other hand, how do I or you define “lab”? As a psychologist who is focusing on human-environment transaction (we call ourselves environmental psychologists), I am mainly interested in psychological processes, behavior and perception that takes place in real world settings. How do we shape our social and physical environments, and how do these environments impact our behavior, affect, and cognition? Thus, the real world is the environmental psychologists’ lab (don’t tell other scientists, they will become jealous!). And while spending time in our lab, we find inspiration to further develop theories, rethink results and implications, or suddenly have an insight how to solve a complex problem. Inspiration can occur anywhere, just like a random beam of light breaking through the fog on a cold autumn day. ¦ Image#3_29
Scanner (aka Robin Rimbaud) and Stephen Vitiello’s residency investigates the spatial dimensions of sonic environments as a common territory in visual research, music and cognition. The artists traverse the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form, creating genre-crossing sound pieces that use technology in unconventional ways and disrupt perceptions of the surrounding space. Through this residency, the ongoing investigations of space advanced by the MIT Program in Art Culture and Technology are combined with cutting-edge aural research.
Scanner (Robin Rimbaud) and Stephen Vitiello’s residency is presented by the MIT Center for Art, Science and Technology, Professor Gediminas Urbonas and the MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology.

The human ability of self-perception and our urge to question, research, pray and design have long been unique in the world. But is this still true in the digital age? Narciss is the first digital object that reflects upon its own existence by exploring its physical body with a camera. An AI Algorithm translates the observations into lyrical guesses about who it thinks it is. The algorithm simulates human cognition from a behavioural perspective. The resulting rapprochement of man and machine questions our self-image and our raison d‘être.

Jerome Bruner, one of the best-known and most influential psychologists of the 20th century, gave the annual Marx Lecture at Columbia University on Tuesday, Oct. 18th. His book, "The Process of Education," helped launch the educational reform movement during the 1960s and continues to profoundly influence understanding of perception, learning, memory, and other aspects of cognition in very young children. He was also a principal architect of Head Start, the pre-kindergarten program that has helped to level the educational playing field for millions of children, and wrote briefs for Brown v. Board of Education, a landmark Supreme Court case that desegregated United States public schools.
It was a great lecture, but sadly I had to miss the NYC Flickr meetup for it.

Fun fact of the day: For those who consider the 70-200 not sharp enough, generally considered to be people in that advanced form of lens snobbery known as "primes only," even in (decent) indoor light the VR lets you stop down a few notches for, as I call it, "WTF?!?" sharpness.
A hypnopompic state (or hypnopomp) is the state of consciousness leading out of sleep, a term coined by the psychical researcher Frederic Myers. Its twin is the hypnagogic state at sleep onset; though often conflated, the two states are not identical. The hypnagogic state is rational waking cognition trying to make sense of non-linear images and associations; the hypnopompic state is emotional and credulous dreaming cognition trying to make sense of real world stolidity. They have a different phenomenological character. Depressed frontal lobe function in the first few minutes after waking – known as "sleep inertia" – causes slowed reaction time and impaired short-term memory. Sleepers often wake confused, or speak without making sense, a phenomenon the psychologist Peter McKeller calls "hypnopompic speech". When the awakening occurs out of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, in which most dreams occur, the hypnopompic state is sometimes accompanied by lingering vivid imagery. Some of the creative insights attributed to dreams actually happen in this moment of awakening from REM.

The most important discoveries will provide answers to questions that we do
not yet know how to ask and will concern objects we have not yet imagined.
~J ohn N. Bahcall, astrophysicist (1935-2005)
Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are
still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be
born.
~ Dale E. Turner
Seeing the star
its memory
centuries old
blossoming like
an autumn cloud
rolling across five sharp corners
geometric fractal replication
as precious as a grandchild’s smile
intriguing lost across the threshold of cognition
spilling into morning the inner light glows
a fire has been friction kindled slowly
a dream a symbol a ceremony
waiting validation and understanding
past reasoning hidden in the shadows
of a seed’s revelation explosion
light years of star memory
cross the veil of reason
renewable dreams
not yet imagined
provide answers

Scientific discoveries can last for thousands of years, and technological inventions can be kept fresh for only a few decades, and they will be obsolete in a few hundred years. Such as electronic product updates, quite quickly. Life cycles are short, as are smart cars, smartphones, etc. Of course, the technological limit may also reach hundreds of years. Even scientific discoveries are not permanent. Tens of thousands of years later, people will have a new leap in understanding the universe and natural laws of natural phenomena. For example, people are on the moon and on Mars, and the human wisdom finds that the invention of wisdom is unbelievable. For us people on earth, we have become uncivilized ancient human beings. The intelligence quotient of lunar humans is dozens and hundreds of times that of our current Earth humans. The scientific discovery of that time was unimaginable. Mathematical, physical and chemical, natural, agricultural, medical, industrial, legal and commercial, literature, history, philosophy, classics, education, etc., everything will be renovated and mutated.
math
The science of studying quantitative relationships and spatial forms in the real world. It is produced and developed in the long-term practical activities of human beings. Originated from counting and measurement, with the development of productive forces, more and more quantitative research on natural phenomena is required; at the same time, due to the development of mathematics itself, it has a high degree of abstraction, rigorous logic and wide applicability. It is roughly divided into two categories: basic mathematics (also known as pure mathematics) and applied mathematics. The former includes branches such as mathematical logic, number theory, algebra, geometry, topology, function theory, functional analysis and differential equations; the latter includes branches such as probability theory, mathematical statistics, computational mathematics, operations research and combinatorial mathematics

Modern mathematics is a edifice built from a series of abstract structures. It is based on the innate belief of human beings in the inevitability and accuracy of mathematical reasoning, and it is the concentrated expression of confidence in the capacity, origin and power of human reason. Deductive reasoning based on self-evident axioms is absolutely reliable, that is, if an axiom is true, then the conclusions deduced from it must also be true. By applying these seemingly clear, correct, and perfect logics, mathematicians The conclusions reached are clearly unquestionable and irrefutable. Naturally, mathematics is constantly developing and alienating, and eternal mathematics is also unrealistic, mainly due to the changes in the logical thinking structure of the human brain, and mathematics will continue to mutate or alienate. Mathematical logic, natural logic, image logic, hybrid compound logic.
In fact, the above-mentioned understanding of the essential characteristics of mathematics is carried out from the aspects of the source, the way of existence, and the level of abstraction of mathematics, and the essential characteristics of mathematics are mainly seen from the results of mathematical research. Common general-purpose mathematical software packages include: Matlab, Mathematica and Maple, where Matlab is good at numerical calculation, while Mathematica and Maple are good at symbolic operation and formula derivation
(2) Dedicated math packages include:
Drawing software: MathCAD, Tecplot, IDL, Surfer, Origin, SmartDraw, DSP2000
Numerical computing class: Matcom, DataFit, S-Spline, Lindo, Lingo, O-Matrix, Scilab, Octave
Numerical calculation library: linpack/lapack/BLAS/GERMS/IMSL/CXML
Finite element calculation classes: ANSYS, MARC, PARSTRAN, FLUENT, FEMLAB, FlexPDE, Algor, COSMOS, ABAQUS, ADINA
Mathematical statistics: GAUSS, SPSS, SAS, Splus
Obviously, the result (as a deductive system of the theory) does not reflect the whole picture of mathematics, another very important aspect that constitutes the whole of mathematics is the process of mathematical research, and in general, mathematics is a dynamic process, a " The experimental process of thinking" is the abstract generalization process of mathematical truth. The logical deductive system is a natural result of this process. In the process of mathematical research, the richness of mathematical objects, the invention of mathematics by human beings, "Mathematics is a language", mathematical activities are social, it is in the historical process of the development of human civilization, human beings understand nature, adapt to It is the crystallization of a high degree of wisdom that transforms nature and improves self and society. Mathematics has a key influence on the way of thinking of human beings. It is of great significance. Mathematics, physics and chemistry, mathematics is the first priority, and it is not an exaggeration.
Based on the above understanding of the essential characteristics of mathematics, people also discussed the specific characteristics of mathematics from different aspects. The more general view is that mathematics has the characteristics of abstraction, precision and extensive application, among which the most essential characteristic is abstraction. In addition, from the perspective of the process of mathematical research and the relationship between mathematics and other disciplines, mathematics also has imagery, plausibility, and quasi-experience. The "falsifiability" feature of Matlab is suitable for the engineering world, especially toolboxes, fast code, and many integrations with third-party software, such as optimization toolboxes
The most obvious third party is comsol
Mathematica syntax is excellent, so good that it comes with almost all programming paradigms
. The understanding of the characteristics of mathematics is also characteristic of the times. For example, regarding the rigor of mathematics, there are different standards in each period of mathematics historical development, from Euclidean geometry to Lobachevsky geometry to the Hilbert axiom system. , the evaluation criteria for rigor vary widely, especially when Gödel proposed and proved the "incompleteness theorem... Later, it was found that even axiomatic, a rigorous scientific method that was once highly regarded, was flawed. Therefore, the rigor of mathematics is shown in the history of mathematics development and has a relativity. Regarding the plausibility of mathematics,
◆◆◆ Mathematics is the tool and means of physical research. Some research methods of physics have strong mathematical ideas, so the process of learning physics can also improve mathematical cognition. Mathematical logic is the study of symbolic and mathematical logic in formal logic.
I started actively learning Chinese yesterday and blogged about it, today I received an e-mail from Joey who has created shared card sets of Chinese words, symbols, and pronunciation on a site called Cognition. It can be accessed like an app for iTunes or the iPhone. You can find it at http://cognitionapp.com/.
People are told they are in an experiment to test headphone quality. Some are told to move their head up an down, others are told to move their head from side to side. Throughout the experiment a message is played. Afterwards, the participants are asked whether they support the issue raised in the message. The nodders were relatively supportive, the shakers relatively opposed.

My research is concerned with understanding the relationship between autism and psychosis and its effect on social functioning. Autism and psychosis-related disorders affect more than 2% of the world population and lead to marked social and cognitive dysfunctions. These disorders can even co-exist in the same individual. However, their combined effect on behaviour and cognition remains unknown. Autism tendencies and psychosis proneness are variably part of our psychological make-up. While these traits may not reach clinical threshold for the majority of people, research suggests that the degree to which these traits are present can have an effect on our social and cognitive abilities. Our research encapsulated in this image shows that the relative dominance of autism or psychosis tendencies has an effect on our ability to correctly appreciate and heed the perspective of others. Specifically, the rate of perspective-taking errors was associated with the relative dominance of each tendency following a U-shape pattern. In contrast, the predisposition to these difficulties is diminished in individuals with similar tendencies to both autism and psychosis. Thus, it appears that the efficiency of our perspective-taking abilities is in the balance between the degree of our autistic tendencies and psychosis proneness.
Bicubic disorder or bicubic affective disorder is a bonkiatric diagnosis as defined in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Bonk Disorders, DSM-IV code 1010.1010 that describes a category of bonk disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated bonk levels, cognition, and mood with or without one or more depressive bonks. The elevated bonks are clinically referred to as bonkia or, if milder, hypobonkia. Individuals who experience bonkic episodes also commonly experience depressive bonks, or symptoms, or a mixed state in which features of both bonkia and bonkression are present at the same time.
These events are usually separated by periods of "normal" bonk; but, in some individuals, bonkression and bonkia may rapidly alternate, which is known as rapid bonking. Severe bonkic episodes can sometimes lead to such symptoms as bonklusions and bonkinations.
The disorder has been subdivided into bicubic I, bicubic II, cyclobonkia, and other types, based on the nature and severity of bonk episodes experienced; the range is often described as the bicubic spectrum.
Bicubic disorder is not to be confused with bipubic disorder, which is a different matter entirely, and not suitable for discussion in conncetion with an image rated safe such as this one.
Personality disorders are included as mental disorders on Axis II of the diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association and in the mental and behavioral disorders section of the ICD manual of the World Health Organization. Personality, defined psychologically, is the set of enduring behavioral and mental traits that distinguish human beings. Hence, personality disorders are defined by experiences and behaviors that differ from societal norms and expectations. Those diagnosed with a personality disorder may experience difficulties in cognition, emotiveness, interpersonal functioning or control of impulses. In general, personality disorders are diagnosed in 40–60 percent of psychiatric patients, making them the most frequent of all psychiatric diagnoses.
These behavioral patterns in personality disorders are typically associated with substantial disturbances in some behavioral tendencies of an individual, usually involving several areas of the personality, and are nearly always associated with considerable personal and social disruption. A person is classified as having a personality disorder if their abnormalities of behavior impair their social or occupational functioning. Additionally, personality disorders are inflexible and pervasive across many situations, due in large part to the fact that such behavior may be ego-syntonic (i.e. the patterns are consistent with the ego integrity of the individual) and are, therefore, perceived to be appropriate by that individual. This behavior can result in maladaptive coping skills, which may lead to personal problems that induce extreme anxiety, distress or depression. The onset of these patterns of behavior can typically be traced back to early adolescence and the beginning of adulthood and, in some instances, childhood.
There are many issues with classifying a personality disorder, is it really a disorder; or just hard to get along with. There are many categories of definition, some mild and some extreme. Because the theory and diagnosis of personality disorders stem from prevailing cultural expectations, their validity is contested by some experts on the basis of invariable subjectivity. They argue that the theory and diagnosis of personality disorders are based strictly on social, or even sociopolitical and economic considerations. Cluster A (odd or eccentric disorders)
Not to be confused with Type A personality.
Paranoid personality disorder: characterized by irrational suspicions and mistrust of others.
Schizoid personality disorder: lack of interest in social relationships, seeing no point in sharing time with others, anhedonia, introspection.
Schizotypal personality disorder: characterized by odd behavior or thinking.
Cluster B (dramatic, emotional or erratic disorders)
Not to be confused with Type B personality.
Antisocial personality disorder: a pervasive disregard for the rights of others, lack of empathy, and (generally) a pattern of regular criminal activity.
Borderline personality disorder: extreme "black and white" thinking, instability in relationships, self-image, identity and behavior often leading to self-harm and impulsivity.
Histrionic personality disorder: pervasive attention-seeking behavior including inappropriately seductive behavior and shallow or exaggerated emotions.
Narcissistic personality disorder: a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. Characterized by self-importance, preoccupations with fantasies, belief that they are special, including a sense of entitlement and a need for excessive admiration, and extreme levels of jealousy and arrogance.
Cluster C (anxious or fearful disorders)
Avoidant personality disorder: pervasive feelings of social inhibition and social inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation and avoidance of social interaction.
Dependent personality disorder: pervasive psychological dependence on other people.
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (not the same as obsessive-compulsive disorder): characterized by rigid conformity to rules, moral codes and excessive orderliness.

MARK FELL
FACTOID #3, 2011
Born in UK. Lives and works FR. Philosophy has investigated the linkage between the structure of consciousness and the structure of the present, but it has not taken sound into consideration. How does sound contribute to this linkage? Thinking of the repetitive temporal structures of techno, or the prolonged tones of Tibetan music – some primary relationships between time, consciousness and sound could be imagined. Informed by recent studies in the psychopathology of time, Fell’s intense and confrontational installation Factoid #3 promotes a destabilised association between time, the self and sound. This work contains extremely bright flashing light, high intensity sound and generative temporal structures.
Mark Fell is a multidisciplinary artist who, after studying experimental film and video art, reverted to earlier interests in computational technology, music and synthetic sound. His two recent works Multistablity and UL8 explore a number of unfamiliar timing and tuning systems. He has a particular interest in the relationship between music, sound, time, perception and cognition which he explores in both his recorded works and his gallery installations. Often using multi-spatial speaker technologies, generative systems, geometry and light, his work in this area is characterized by ‘non-illusion based’ approaches to record production and surround sound environments.
Thought generally refers to any mental or intellectual activity involving an individual's subjective consciousness. It can refer either to the act of thinking or the resulting ideas or arrangements of ideas. Similar concepts include cognition, sentience, consciousness, and imagination.Because thought underlies almost all human actions and interactions, understanding its physical and metaphysical origins, processes, and effects has been a longstanding goal of many academic disciplines including, among others, biology, philosophy, psychology, and sociology.

2010 .. Look at my perfect balance on a slack rope 7 metres above the ground .. Spider Monkey .. this endangered species has been bred at the Auckland Zoo since 1950 and is exported to other zoos around the world ..
Spider monkey From Wikipedia
Spider monkeys of the genus Ateles are New World monkeys in the subfamily Atelinae, family Atelidae. Like other atelines, they are found in tropical forests of Central and South America, from southern Mexico to Brazil. The genus contains seven species including the critically endangered Black-headed Spider Monkey and Brown Spider Monkey.
The disproportionately long limbs and long prehensile tail makes them one of the largest New World monkeys and gives rise to their common name. Spider monkeys live in the upper layers of the rainforest and forage in the high canopy, from 25 to 30 m (82 to 98 ft). They primarily eat fruits, but will also occasionally consume leaves, flowers, and insects. Due to their large size, spider monkeys require large tracts of moist evergreen forests and prefer undisturbed primary rainforest. They are social animals and live in bands of up to 35 individuals but will split up to forage during the day.
Recent meta-analyses on primate cognition studies indicated that spider monkeys were the most intelligent New World monkeys. They can produce a wide range of sounds and will 'bark' when threatened, other vocalisations include a whinny similar to a horse and prolonged screams.
They are an important food source due to their large size and are widely hunted by local human populations; they are also threatened by habitat destruction due to logging and land clearing. Spider monkeys are susceptible to malaria and are used in laboratory studies of the disease. The population trend for spider monkeys is decreasing; the IUCN Red List lists one species as vulnerable, four species as endangered and two species as critically endangered.
The monkeys may live 20 years or more, and females give birth once every 3 to 4 years.

Bird song evolded 90 million years ago in Australia..
www.abc.net.au/radio-australia/programs/conversations/gis...
Many assumptions about the nature of birds and their behaviour are completely wrong when applied to Australian birds.
Gisela Kaplan was a professor of sociology when a magpie nestling she was hand raising bonded closely with her, followed her about, and learned to speak.
Her curiosity about birds became so strong she switched careers to become a field biologist and animal behaviourist.
Based in Armidale NSW, Gisela has conducted extensive research into avian behaviour. Her second PhD was a study of the songs of Australian magpies.
Gisela's many books on Australian native birds have changed the way these creatures are understood.
Along with her teaching, writing and research in ornithology, Gisela has been a wildlife carer for 25 years, raising countless birds of all ages.\

According to Indian spritual literatures, a human body is a composite one. They divide the body and into seven bodies with differnt functions.
The first body is called sthula-sarira (Sanskrit, from sthula meaning coarse, gross, not refined, heavy, bulky, fat in the sense of bigness, conditioned and differentiated matter + sarira to moulder, waste away). A gross body, impermanent because of its wholly compounded character. The physical body is usually considered as the lowest substance-principle. The physical form is the result of the harmonious co-working on the physical plane of forces and faculties streaming through their astral vehicle or linga-sarira, the pattern or model of the physical body.
The second body is called Linga-Sarira, (Sanskrit, from linga meaning characteristic mark, model, pattern + sarira, from the verbal root sri to moulder, waste away). A pattern or model that is impermanent; the model-body or astral body, only slightly more ethereal than the physical body. It is the astral model around which the physical body is built, and from which the physical body flows or develops as growth proceeds.
The third body is prana (Sanskrit, from pra before + the verbal root an to breathe, to live). In theosophy, the breath of life. This life or prana works on, in, and around us, pulsating unceasingly during the term of physical existence. Prana is "the radiating force or Energy of Atma -- as the Universal Life and the One Self -- its lower or rather (in its effects) more physical, because manifesting, aspect. Prana or Life permeates the whole being of the objective Universe; and is called a 'principle' only because it is an indispensable factor and the deus ex machina of the living man."
The fourth principle is kāma (Sanskrit, from the verbal root kam meaning to desire). Desire; the desire principle is the driving, impelling force. Born from the interaction of atman, buddhi, and manas, kama per se is a colourless force, good or bad according to the way the mind and soul use it. It is the seat of the living electrical impulses, desires, and aspirations, considered in their energetic aspect.
The fifth principle is manas (Sanskrit, from the verbal root man meaning to think). The seat of mentation and egoic consciousness; in humanity Manas is the human person, the reincarnating ego, immortal in essence, enduring in its higher aspects through the entire manvantara. When embodied, manas is dual, gravitating toward buddhi in its higher aspects and in its lower aspects toward kama. The first is intuitive mind, the second the animal, ratiocinative consciousness, the lower mentality and passions of the personality.
The sixth principle or vehicle is Buddhi (Sanskrit, from the verbal root budh to awaken, enlighten, know). The vehicle of pure, universal spirit, hence an inseparable garment or vehicle of atman, which is, in its essence, of the highest plane of akasa or alaya. In man buddhi is the spiritual soul, the faculty of discriminating, the channel through which streams divine inspiration from the atman to the ego, and therefore that faculty which enables us to discern between good and evil: spiritual conscience. The qualities of the buddhic principle when awakened are higher judgment, instant understanding, discrimination, intuition, love that has no bounds, and consequent universal forgiveness.
The seventh is called Atman (Sanskrit). Self; pure consciousness, that cosmic self which is the same in every dweller on this globe and on every one of the planetary or stellar bodies in space. It is the feeling and knowledge of "I am," pure cognition, the abstract idea of self. It does not differ at all throughout the cosmos except in degree of self-recognition. It may also be considered as the First Logos in the human microcosm. During incarnation the lowest aspects of atman take on attributes, because it is linked with buddhi, as the buddhi is linked with manas, as the manas is linked with kama, etc.
So, mental absence is a reality. Thoughts are faster than light! It is the conflict between these bodies which causes grief in life.

The soul migrates with the astral body, or Sukshma-Sarira or Linga-Deha. This astral body is made up of nineteen Tattvas or principles, viz., five organs of action, five organs of knowledge, five Pranas, mind, intellect, Chitta (the subconscious), and Ahankara or egoism.

I only caught this sign out of the corner of my eye as I was skipping past, but something jarred. It took me a moment to work out what it was.
A brief cameo on the strength of visual memory and cognition, particularly in terms of recognition and patterns.

Elephant cognition is the study of animal cognition as present in elephants. Most contemporary ethologists view the elephant as one of the world's most intelligent animals. With a mass of just over 5 kg (11lb), an elephant's brain has more mass than that of any other land animal, and although the largest whales have body masses twenty times those of a typical elephant, a whale's brain is barely twice the mass of an elephant's brain. In addition, elephants have around 257 billion neurons. Elephant brains are similar to humans' and many other mammals' in terms of general connectivity and functional areas, with several unique structural differences. Although initially estimated to have as many neurons as a human brain, the elephant's cortex has about one-third of the number of neurons as a human brain.
Elephants manifest a wide variety of behaviours, including those associated with grief, learning, mimicry, play, altruism, use of tools, compassion, cooperation, self-awareness, memory, and communication. Further, evidence suggests elephants may understand pointing: the ability to nonverbally communicate an object by extending a finger, or equivalent. It is thought they are equal with cetaceans and primates in this regard. Due to such claims of high intelligence and due to strong family ties of elephants, some researchers argue it is morally wrong for humans to cull them.
Aristotle described the elephant as "the animal that surpasses all others in wit and mind."

Looking for reflections on a late afternoon photo shoot - found them and a hungry mallard, too! The concentric circles, though, are what caught my eye!
Mathematical concepts are often evident in nature and in our daily environment. I often think about how much learning is done (and could be done) out of the classroom...and I know there are specific field trips or activities that focus on that connection. But are we helping our students learn to see that on their own? Do they seek out those learning connections on a daily basis? I would guess there are a lot of missed opportunities for meta-learning, but I think images can help to springboard that type of cognition. Garden of Hope & Courage, Naples, FL
A hypnopompic state (or hypnopomp) is the state of consciousness leading out of sleep, a term coined by the psychical researcher Frederic Myers. Its twin is the hypnagogic state at sleep onset; though often conflated, the two states are not identical. The hypnagogic state is rational waking cognition trying to make sense of non-linear images and associations; the hypnopompic state is emotional and credulous dreaming cognition trying to make sense of real world stolidity. They have a different phenomenological character. Depressed frontal lobe function in the first few minutes after waking – known as "sleep inertia" – causes slowed reaction time and impaired short-term memory. Sleepers often wake confused, or speak without making sense, a phenomenon the psychologist Peter McKeller calls "hypnopompic speech". When the awakening occurs out of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, in which most dreams occur, the hypnopompic state is sometimes accompanied by lingering vivid imagery. Some of the creative insights attributed to dreams actually happen in this moment of awakening from REM.
A functional imaging scan from a neuroimaging study performed by the Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) Team at the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, shows the increase in brain activation from actual transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) compared with that of a sham consumer product. The NIBS lab, part of the Cognitive Performance Optimization Section, Applied Neuroscience Branch, Warfighter Interface Division, Human Effectiveness Directorate of the 711th Human Performance Wing, explores how directed electrical stimulation to the human brain affects cognition, fatigue, mood and other areas with the end goal of improving warfighter awareness, memory and focus.

Ordering me to bookmark a page does not make me happy - I should be able to sign-in via the same place I registered (which is easy to remember/get to).
I had to get back to this page by searching through me email - if i bookmark it I'm just going to have to search through my bookmarks.

Personality disorders are included as mental disorders on Axis II of the diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association and in the mental and behavioral disorders section of the ICD manual of the World Health Organization. Personality, defined psychologically, is the set of enduring behavioral and mental traits that distinguish human beings. Hence, personality disorders are defined by experiences and behaviors that differ from societal norms and expectations. Those diagnosed with a personality disorder may experience difficulties in cognition, emotiveness, interpersonal functioning or control of impulses. In general, personality disorders are diagnosed in 40–60 percent of psychiatric patients, making them the most frequent of all psychiatric diagnoses.
These behavioral patterns in personality disorders are typically associated with substantial disturbances in some behavioral tendencies of an individual, usually involving several areas of the personality, and are nearly always associated with considerable personal and social disruption. A person is classified as having a personality disorder if their abnormalities of behavior impair their social or occupational functioning. Additionally, personality disorders are inflexible and pervasive across many situations, due in large part to the fact that such behavior may be ego-syntonic (i.e. the patterns are consistent with the ego integrity of the individual) and are, therefore, perceived to be appropriate by that individual. This behavior can result in maladaptive coping skills, which may lead to personal problems that induce extreme anxiety, distress or depression. The onset of these patterns of behavior can typically be traced back to early adolescence and the beginning of adulthood and, in some instances, childhood.
There are many issues with classifying a personality disorder, is it really a disorder; or just hard to get along with. There are many categories of definition, some mild and some extreme. Because the theory and diagnosis of personality disorders stem from prevailing cultural expectations, their validity is contested by some experts on the basis of invariable subjectivity. They argue that the theory and diagnosis of personality disorders are based strictly on social, or even sociopolitical and economic considerations. Cluster A (odd or eccentric disorders)
Not to be confused with Type A personality.
Paranoid personality disorder: characterized by irrational suspicions and mistrust of others.
Schizoid personality disorder: lack of interest in social relationships, seeing no point in sharing time with others, anhedonia, introspection.
Schizotypal personality disorder: characterized by odd behavior or thinking.
Cluster B (dramatic, emotional or erratic disorders)
Not to be confused with Type B personality.
Antisocial personality disorder: a pervasive disregard for the rights of others, lack of empathy, and (generally) a pattern of regular criminal activity.
Borderline personality disorder: extreme "black and white" thinking, instability in relationships, self-image, identity and behavior often leading to self-harm and impulsivity.
Histrionic personality disorder: pervasive attention-seeking behavior including inappropriately seductive behavior and shallow or exaggerated emotions.
Narcissistic personality disorder: a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. Characterized by self-importance, preoccupations with fantasies, belief that they are special, including a sense of entitlement and a need for excessive admiration, and extreme levels of jealousy and arrogance.
Cluster C (anxious or fearful disorders)
Avoidant personality disorder: pervasive feelings of social inhibition and social inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation and avoidance of social interaction.
Dependent personality disorder: pervasive psychological dependence on other people.
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (not the same as obsessive-compulsive disorder): characterized by rigid conformity to rules, moral codes and excessive orderliness.
