Basically all psychoactive substances do. Where these changes happen determines what kind of an effect it will have. For alcohol, we know that flow is altered in the balance centre for example, which is why people on alcohol walk and talk weird

Problem is that it's still where so many people are. It's honestly such a shame that more people won't move to lemmy... Because in comparison there's barely anyone here. And the only reason these kinds of websites are useful is that there's a lot of people on them
Wdym fuck em. They kindly ask you to turn your phone into flight mode, likely because it might interfere with the plane's communication system and cause safety problems. What have they done wrong to you, they're just doing their job of providing you a safe flight
Ah, you're right, that might be possible — I've never flown a plane like this so didn't consider it
Always wanted to do something like this but you can't send messages on the plane, your phone has to be in flight mode
Agree, so nice to track my workouts, sleep, messages etc. I've got one for Christmas three years ago and it's turned out to be the best unexpected gift that I've come around to enjoy and use
I really liked the design of PS4 controller, it had a neat, small, handy feel, this looks bloated, large, idk
Neuroscience. Briefly, the study of how the connections in our brains make us function, from completing simple tasks like movement, coordinating, perceiving the world, and finally, constituting our sense of self and consciousness, this all is so extremely exciting and fascinating for me.
Why does it matter? Well, in the short-term, research in this area allows us to invent better treatments for various conditions — from deafness with cochlear implants to depression with deep brain stimulation.
In the long term — understanding who we are, what does it mean to be human, and what the limitations of our understanding and thought are.
Disclaimer: I hate AI and the whole recent movement about AI in neuroscience from people who clearly don't understand the basics. No, "AI", which is to say LLMs, are not conscious, don't display patterns similar to advanced human thought, and I remain to be convinced of theirs usefulness in this area of research.
Is it just me or is this hella ugly?
Yes, exactly. Thank you for clarifying
