Jerry Kang: Immaculate perception?
Jerry Kang is a Professor of Law and Asian American Studies at UCLA. His work examines the legal implications of socio-cognitive implicit bias, or unintentional racism. Our ability to judge whether we are racist may not even be obvious to us if we look deeply at ourselves. Kang disseminates the work of other cognitive neuroscientists who study implicit bias and stereotype threat, and he extrapolates the implications of this work in a legal setting. He has received the highest honor for his teaching at UCLA, the University Distinguished Teaching Award in 2010.

The Common Raven, also known as the Northern Raven, displays considerable abilities in problem solving, as well as other cognitive processes such as imitation and insight. Common Ravens have been observed to manipulate other parties into doing work for them, such as by calling wolves and coyotes to the site of dead animals. The canines open the carcass, leaving the scraps more accessible to the birds. They watch where other Common Ravens bury their food and remember the locations of each other's food caches, so they can steal from them. This type of theft occurs so regularly that Common Ravens will fly extra distances from a food source to find better hiding places for food. They have also been observed pretending to make a cache without actually depositing the food, presumably to confuse onlookers. Juvenile common ravens are among the most playful of bird species. They have been observed to slide down snowbanks, apparently purely for fun. They even engage in games with other species, such as playing catch-me-if-you-can with wolves, otters and dogs. Common Ravens are known for spectacular aerobatic displays, such as flying in loops or interlocking talons with each other in flight. They are also one of only a few wild animals who make their own toys. They have been observed breaking off twigs to play with socially.

Not my usual style, but my fascination with contradictions won out. I would like to say this is in Albuquerque, but, alas, Kansas City, MO. I wanted to turn either north or south.
Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman is trying to answer a big question: Do we experience the world as it really is ... or as we need it to be? In this ever so slightly mind-blowing talk, he ponders how our minds construct reality for us.
Talk went online.

In 1957 Craig Mooney, a cognitive psychologist, published “Age in the development of closure ability in children.” He used images similar to the ones above to test the ability of children to perform “perceptual closure”—that is, to form a coherent perceptual impression on the basis of very little visual detail. Images of this type, often referred to as Mooney faces, have become common in cognitive psychology experiments because they offer a means of inducing variable perception with constant visuo-spatial characteristics (the images are very often not perceived as faces if viewed upside down). I have used such images in an experiment I conducted with a “blindsight” patient, to test for signs of face perception without awareness. I used many of Mooney’s original 40 images, but also created a few hundred of my own (with the help of my wife, Corinne Foy). Along the way, I have come to appreciate many of the images as being very pleasant to look at. It is fascinating to notice how little visual information it takes to experience a face (humans have evolved very effective and efficient mechanisms for the perception of faces), and at the same time to notice the variety of other shapes and contours that emerge.

COLOUR: COGNITIVE BRAIN PREDICTION VERSUS VISUAL PERCEPTION/PHOTOGRAPHICAL DOCUMENTATION
The English neuropsychologist Chris Frith tells us that in our brain the “true” colour of a given object (=as reflected when the object is illuminated with white light) to such a degree is predicted by prior experience , that coloured light falling on the object will not disturb our actual perception of that true colour. If a (red) tomato is illuminated with blue light,” it can´t reflect any red light, so does it now look blue? No. We still perceive it as red”, he asserts in his book MAKING UP THE MIND. How the Brain Creates our Mental World. (Blackwell Publishing, Malden, Oxford and Carlton, 2007, p. 132). This assertion is wrong; or better: what it claims is only the case, when the person looking at the tomato is convinced in advance that the brain, not the eye, is telling the truth. Our eyes certainly do not see a tomato as being red in blue light. To them it will appear brown in pale blue light and black in deep blue light. What they see is (almost) identical with the eye-like evidence of photography shown in my little photo experiment here.

Incorporating exercise into our daily routine is one of the most important things we can do for our physical and mental health. Regular exercise can help us maintain a healthy weight, reduce our risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, boost our mood and cognitive function, and improve our overall quality of life. But with so many different types of exercise to choose from, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start. In this article, we will discuss the best exercises for everyone, regardless of fitness level or age.
Walking
Walking is a low-impact form of exercise that can be done almost anywhere and requires no equipment. It is an excellent way to improve cardiovascular health, strengthen bones and muscles, and maintain a healthy weight. Walking can also help reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and boost mood and energy levels.
READ MORE HERE: fitwomenamherst.com
To get the most benefit from walking, aim to walk for at least 30 minutes per day, five days per week. You can break up the time into shorter sessions throughout the day if needed. To increase the intensity of your walks, try walking uphill, walking faster, or wearing a weighted vest.
Strength Training
Strength training, also known as resistance training or weightlifting, is a type of exercise that involves using weights or resistance bands to build strength and muscle mass. Strength training can help improve bone density, increase metabolism, and reduce the risk of injury. It can also improve balance, flexibility, and posture, which can help reduce the risk of falls in older adults.
To get the most benefit from strength training, aim to do exercises that target all major muscle groups, including the legs, back, chest, arms, and core. Start with a weight that allows you to perform 8-12 reps per set and gradually increase the weight as you get stronger. Aim to do strength training exercises two to three times per week, with at least one day of rest between workouts.
Yoga
Yoga is a type of exercise that involves a series of poses and breathing exercises designed to improve flexibility, strength, balance, and relaxation. Yoga has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It can also help reduce pain and inflammation in people with conditions such as arthritis and back pain.
To get the most benefit from yoga, find a class or video that is appropriate for your fitness level and goals. There are many different styles of yoga, so experiment to find one that suits you. Aim to do yoga at least two to three times per week, with each session lasting 45-60 minutes.
Swimming
Swimming is a low-impact form of exercise that is particularly beneficial for people with joint pain or injuries. It is an excellent way to improve cardiovascular health, strengthen muscles, and improve flexibility and range of motion. Swimming can also help reduce stress and improve mood.
To get the most benefit from swimming, aim to swim for at least 30 minutes per session, three to five times per week. You can mix up your swim routine by incorporating different strokes or using equipment such as kickboards or pull buoys.
Cycling
Cycling is an excellent form of exercise for improving cardiovascular health, building leg strength, and burning calories. It can be done indoors on a stationary bike or outdoors on a road or mountain bike. Cycling is also a low-impact form of exercise that is easier on the joints than running.
To get the most benefit from cycling, aim to ride for at least 30 minutes per session, three to five times per week. You can adjust the resistance on a stationary bike or vary the terrain on an outdoor ride to increase the intensity of your workout.

Thanks to Leah we found out what's wrong w/ Guy! So we're 99.9% sure Guy has Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS). That explains a lot and at least we have a direction to go in. It's good to know that he's not waking up in the middle of the night because of pain. Now we can skip the teeth removal and maybe get him medication for CDS. He's 16 now from what our vet records show. We're realistic about our expectations...
Workshop: How to train cognitive skills?
Mike M. Merzenich – the leading scientist in neuroplasticity – spoke about the training of cognitive skills. He showed how everybody - neurological patients, seniors, children, athletes, tactical forces, businessmen - benefits from the training of cognitive skills. It improves concentration, decision making and peripheral seeing. The workshop took place @TU München @ZHS Zentraler Hochschulsport in cooperation with our partner @microgate.
