I know this is 7 years old and nothingn can be done to the video retroactively, but it is infuriating that the camera cuts away from the slides at the most important parts of the talk and I can't help but leave a comment
At 70 I've been time restricted eating (16/8) for 10 years. I eat a high complex carb diet. Fats from nuts, avocado, olives, and a little fish. My ketone levels ramp up a bit before first meal to about clinical levels (0.4 to 0.6 mmol/l) which suggest lower insulin. Consistent with HbA1c which is consistently 5% (+ or - 0.1). We can keep our insulin and glucose levels controlled very nicely without a high animal fat keto diet while gaining the benefits of a high fiber high polyphenol plant based diet.

Seems to remind me of Sherlock Holmes, who didn’t want to bother with information that wasn’t relevant to whatever he needed to know for his cases. Lol
There is a very important case of Lynn Crook she has a book called False Memories: The Deception That Silenced Millions By Lynn Crook. She criticizes the topic of "false memories", please investigate the case, the book I mentioned above, it is very important since it demolishes the arguments with evidence about "false memories" that many people are believing and this cause harm. "false memories", also known as "false memory syndrome" this concept is not psychologically established, it is a concept created by those accused of child abuse, this concept was not created under any psychological, clinical, psychiatric study, it was not based on studies Nor was it developed under observation about traumatic memories, this is very serious, and this cause harm, " It is not easy to induce memories of abuse and anyone who believes it is believing the lie of ped*phil*s"
I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity, and thank the CNLM for all of their support and encouragement! I look forward to continuing this academic journey in the field of Neuroscience! :)
The slide footage is about a minute behind the footage of Ann! EDIT: It's more like 45 sec behind. I opened up a separate player and put it 45 sec ahead and the slide footage and figures she refers to now lines up.
I can't help wondering: People who had high blood pressure and cholesterol in the 1980's were found in the 2000's to have been "protected" against dementia by the high blood pressure and cholesterol. Could it be that those who had "good" blood pressure readings earlier because they were dutifully taking the meds actually got dementia as a side effect of taking those drugs? I've had noticeable side effects from those drugs and stopped taking them. But, if I took one that had no noticeable side effects, could I end up with dementia later as result of a hidden, undetected side effect?
The mcmartin case has nothing to do with false memories. More than a dozen kids had sexually transmitted diseases and the Tunnels Under the school were dug up
I think that your job makes a difference. My job was to teach others about new equipment, which in turn forced me to learn things on my own. This exercising of my brains, I think, contribute to my retention of my cognitive ability in my 90's.
Thank you very much! I've read about your TED talk in a book dedicated to misconceptions and how easily people tend to succumb to them. And now I've the talk.
@@RachardMorris There are like three names you need to know right now and Ghislaine is one of them. She was Jeffrey Epstein's friend and was questioned heavily in court regarding Epstein's Island and his other illicit activities. Dr. Loftus was called on to testify by Maxwell's defense.

Dear Dr. Lynch... Great to see your presentation here. Thank you for being an inspiration - and a challenge - for me and for so many other young punks decades ago in Bio Core. Respectful and appreciative regards from a Bio undergrad, class of 1980.
A psychologist testifying for Ghislaine Maxwell at her federal sex trafficking trial has told the jury people can have "false memories" of traumatic events. Dr Elizabeth Loftus told the court in New York that people "can be subjected to post-event suggestion". Ms Maxwell, 59, has pleaded not guilty to grooming underage girls for the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Her attorneys argue that her accusers have fallen prey to lapses in "memory, manipulation and money". In court on Thursday, Dr Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California, Irvine, testified that her research suggests memories of traumatic events - like the ones described by Ms Maxwell's accusers - are often reconstructed rather than simply retrieved. "[Memory] doesn't work like a recording device," she said. "We are actually constructing our memories while we retrieve memories." She claimed that media coverage can act as "a source of post-event suggestion" and also that those who recall memories "frequently remember ourselves in a better light than perhaps is accurate". However, she conceded under cross-examination that, while "peripheral memories" from a traumatic event may be forgotten, the event's "core memories" may in fact get stronger. The witness has previously consulted on some 300 criminal defence trials, representing high-profile clients like OJ Simpson, Harvey Weinstein and Ted Bundy. She said her work rarely fits into prosecutors' "agendas". www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59688787
When I was a rape hotline counselor in Santa Barbara, CA from 2002-2003, I had a caller who told me Elizabeth Loftus is a satanist who ritually abused her.

@@keepgodfirstministry2527 I'm curious, what side effects do they have? (Wine notwithstanding, but with sauerkraut, kimchee, cheese which if raw contains vitamin K2, Kefir, etc). Thanks! :)
@@L.J.01 when things are uncooked they contain their own enzymes that aid the digestive process. I think a lot of people back then were fortunate to have good work ethics: they work physically hard and lived in a different environment. The food contained more nutrients. I agree that the above mention foods may contain K2 but the other properties will cause more harm than good
If distractions occur let’s say getting notifications/messages/music playing in the background and that causes a issue with retention does that mean all music, even classical music without words effects our retention of what we are trying to learn/focus on? It is also impossible not to be distracted when so many different subjects are required to be retained in “x” amount of time.
Thank you for a lecture detailing latest research on the topic of mechanics of some important factors causing mind to get distracted. I would be thankful if someone can provide link to details of experiments and slides shown in the lecture. The lecture examines three factors: attention, working memory, and the speed of processing that affects efficiency of the brain. Because of modern technology we can view what parts of the brain are involved and get `evidence’ for the theory that the scientists propose. However, I have two questions in this regard. The questions are born out of my doubts rather than convictions. I would be thankful to anyone who can provide guidance to help me think more clearly in the matter. First, if we think about the growth process - journey to adulthood - at the outset (time of birth) our nervous system has the capability of getting excited only by the external stimuli, given that body is an external object that provides a source of stimuli in the form of hunger, discomfort, etc. We can simplistically presume that our experiences creates a virtual body or the `self’ (defined simply as organization of our sensitivities and sensibilities) that slowly starts making its own demands and create stimuli that increasingly seeks attention and memory, which determines the efficiency of the brain - or more generally the mental apparatus. The question is: Is there a way to measure integration of the `self’, no matter how we define it? Can there be brain scans that can differentiate between a well-integrated or focused mind and one that easily fritters away? Can the brain sciences prescribe methods that can promote such integration? One of the ways in which `maturity’ (or the well integrated personality) was understood about a century ago was the capacity of the individual to keep in check on the level of excitement that various stimuli causes. One used to permit of course, within limits) the level of excitement that the set of stimuli causes and refuse the excitement that other stimuli would cause. It is because of this capacity to choose the source of stimuli that we used to have `close’ relationships with select individuals. The experiments described in the lecture have not considered level of excitement of the nervous system. This is not without a reason. Since the advent of cognitive sciences in the 1950s our thinking about the mind has increasingly become modular. We take each attribute of the mind and examine it separately. After all, the holistic thinking (about `self’, or psyche or personality or character) was not very useful for scientific analysis as it lacked any empirical evidence. What I would like to argue is that such modular thinking has its limitations that are equally, if not more debilitating than the holistic thinking has been. Next, I would like to point a single item that remains excluded in the analysis presented in the lecture. Perhaps one of the important factors determining the nature of the `self’ that gets developed is the meaning that gets established in our psyche. A child can interpret a slap by a parent as just or unjust punishment for some act; and anything from an act of hatred to an act of care and love. It perhaps is a set of such meanings that determines the shape of the `self’, I don’t know. During the time of holistic thinking we used to believe that it is the `integration’ (or otherwise) of such self that drives (or fails to drive) actions. We can take examples from daily life. Documentary (on Netflix) on Bill Gates claims that each weekend he reads 25-30 odd books at 150 pages per hour at the age of 60+ years. He retains much of what he has read, enough to discuss various topics intelligently with expert scientists in their respective fields. In India classical music is taught by `guru’ to his disciples. There are several famous gurus and their disciples in hundreds practice music for up to 12-15 hours a day regularly for 15-20 years or more. Same will be the case with any champion in every sport. During those long years and long hours spent each day the individual either actively suppresses other competing stimuli. Alternatively, the competing stimuli get suppressed because of the integration of the `self’. In any case, the efficiency of the brain depends on the level of obsession (?) that the degree of integration of the self defines. No amount of analysis of attention, working memory or the speed of processing can explain any of these happenings even though the argument is backed by a million brain scans. The second question I would like to pose is: Is there a way to integrate the holistic and modular ways of thinking about the mind? Thank you.
It is good to maintain focus on our desires and be ready to understand each other and care for each other with focus. Focus can maintain a person alive, first of all we could focus on our own-selves and be well, breathing. Then we begin to care for the world, we care for the smallest forms of life, for the rocks and for the stars, it is care.
Left the couch 7 seconds ago, walk to the kitchen with 1 item in mind and find yourself standing in front of the refrigerator and have no clue why your there. . . . . . . Sativa moment. 😁😂🤣
