The virus is clouding the news, Facebook newsfeeds, and just media in general. The corona virus popped up in my Reddit timeline as well. Mastodon, not so much, Instagrams had a few mentions here and there. I am actually just self isolating myself, despite not even having travelled at all this year.
I’ve taken it upon myself to learn a computer language, I picked up the book Learn Python the Hard Way (3rd edition). I can’t say that I hate it either, learning how to code made me realize just how dumb computers are. Yeah, capabilities, yeah, faster processing, definitely more than my brain can, or any other brain can process information and decipher information.

But, we told it to do that.

A computer doesn’t do anything, that we don’t tell it to do. Not really that shocking, I suppose. But as I am learning this code, and the jargon associated like strings, arguments, expressions and statements (you’d think it’s really straight forward, but trust me; a statement the way English uses the word statement doesn’t translate exactly. Or I am just a moron, really, you have to go and learn code for yourself to figure this out.) I can see how it gets more complicated, or can get more complicated; yet, consider this next example.
The Computers Memory is Fixed.
It’s as if the computer has dementia, where it can’t learn new things. Remember that old saying You can’t teach an old dog new tricks (I hope it’s not that old of a saying, like I am some pastor reading scripture wrote a time a yonder)? Well, much to my distaste, if I define a variable equal to a value and then later change the value, it doesn’t change any calculations of that variable before the change.
Say I have the variable, favourite_pie = Apple Pie, and then I get the computer to say “Do you know what’s Andrew’s favourite type of pie? Apple Pie, of course!”. Now, theres news that blueberry gives you extra loving power (like I need anymore, I laugh at your premise puny human!) and I now tell the computer favourite_pie = Blueberry Pie, and someone runs the little code I wrote and the computer will say “Do you know what’s Andrew’s favourite type of pie? Apple Pie, of course!”.

See, “silly computer, Andrew likes blueberry pie for the love!”
Basically, because I wrote that my favourtie pie was apple pie, and then the code, then I changed my mind about my favourite pie, it doesn’t care. When I told the computer what my favourite pie was, then I told the computer to tell you, rather to let you know, that’s all the computer knew at the time. If I change my mind and tell the computer my new favourite pie is blueberry, it doesn’t care. Like a stubborn child, “You said your favourite pie was apple and then told me to tell people, and now your favourite pie is blueberry? Sorry I don’t work like that, I’m still saying your favourite pie is apple.”
I could easily fix this problem by asking the computer to once again, say “Do you know what Andrew’s favourite pie is?” and the re-insert that variable after I had re-defined it. Although unless I type out that variable again with the question, the computer will never let you know that the variable has changed! So let’s say I am typing out a shopping list “What to buy to make Andrew’s favourite pie, well the main ingredient is in the name! Blueberry Pie!”

“What, the. F. computer.”
See, computers are dumb. Rather, they aren’t that dumb, it knew that my new favourite pie was blueberry (It’s not, Apple till I die, snitches!). A computer, is a psychopath, a selfish psychopath. Did it care to tell you that my new favourite pie is blueberry (again, it’s actually apple), no it did not. If I were to send this computer to find me a new girlfriend, because I am a fantastic catch, and make the computer tell my new girlfriend to make me my favourite pie; it’s going to, rudely, put girls through psychological trauma at the supermarket.
I don’t want to write on COVID-19, although I do, because oddly enough crunching numbers and gather insights and then writing a report or an article is my idea of a good time. But I felt that I needed to share my “thoughts while I am coding” because I have parts of a working brain, yet the majority of you have a full working brain. Maybe this article will make you want to read up on the different types of memory we have and use everyday. Perhaps I will also write an article on memory, since I am the writer, that’s kind of my job wouldn’t you say?
I definitely want to write on COVID-19, in Canada, we are doing really well. Despite how early on we have been exposed to the virus, so far the mortality rate has been dropping rather quickly. Today, 37 out of 336 resolved cases have ended in mortality, and we have 3, 897 cases nationally. March 22nd, we saw a death rate of 58.82%, which has drastically dropped to todayes rate of 16.29% (all numbers 3:25 EST on March 26, 2020).

Also "racist" is another, and he ended saying "reecist". It was weird, although I don't know much about Youtube content publishing. Wuhan disease is a can also be seen as discriminatory I imagine, yet it originated from there.

I was scrolling down my timeline, and there was this dailymail.uk article that said that studies have confirmed that the virus originated from bats. My mom was actually talking to me about this, because her co-workers were as well. Her co-workers definitely fit the Freya threshold of racists so I won't repeat what the had said.

I want to say my little city is holding up well. Grocery stores are pretty good, they clean their store before every open, so that's good. I feel food prices may have been jacked up a little bit. But whatever, I have the money to pay.

Usually I go out to eat, maybe watch the hockey game at a bar or something (it so happens that the two or three bars I frequent, two are chicken wing joints, just because they are close to me I have a lot of chicken wings, I've learned to love the chicken wing).

But this week I wasn't too productive on my gym, only getting in three days of work, completely missing a muscle group. Yet I feel as if in all of my communication between the people at my gym, and the people on the EoFF discord really hit a break through. Whenever this happens, I ooze with warm feelings, I feel like the perfect Tetris block just completed a 4 row Tetris.

Well, that indeed was the highlight of my weekend. I also cleaned my room a bit and the Grammy's are on. I'll probably be trying to get in on the "buzz" as well as this weekend comes to a close. Video gamed wise, I recently revisited RE5 to know that I am still very afraid of the whole premise of Resident Evil. I also Loaded in BL3 (Borderlands), to pick up where I left off and I didn't get any further. and MW (Modern Warfare) is league weekend, I have no idea what that is about but I ended up not winning very man Gun Game matches, and I didn't lead very many scoreboards in my other matches.

MW Co-op won't download, and I really enjoyed being on a team where I can be useful. Mind you there was this one guy who smurfing abandoned his (our) team and just stayed on a roof. We lost and at the end of the match this guy sends a message to the whole team saying "Trash". It was very not helpful, when I assume the role of an "Overwatch", I do so because I am a medic, I snipe enemies, I revive them if there is more than one person down or no one can reach the guy. I also have a microphone, I talk to them while the mission is running.

I like being a medic, I like helping people, with my disability it's what I am best at. ]]> jenovajunkie http://home.eyesonff.com/entry.php/6253-Discord-had-an-epiphany Blog me crazy, but I like the idea of a monogamous relationship. http://home.eyesonff.com/entry.php/6252-Blog-me-crazy-but-I-like-the-idea-of-a-monogamous-relationship Wed, 22 Jan 2020 05:47:58 GMT Hey,

Just talked to some guy who tried to convince me that monogamy is not in our DNA because animals are not monogamous. Uhhh.... animals also exhibit homosexuality, does that means deep down we should just fuck everything that we can?

I like to think that we shouldn't, call me crazy but when I was in school I loved to date women without having the having to deal with cheating.

Weird. I don't know, maybe it was my christian upbringing or my over protective parents. But whatever the why is that I am like that, I just am. Just because other people like to do that, doesn't that I would forego having a genuine relationship just for that.

But I understand women do cheat. They may even withhold that information for years, in one case a wife waited 15 years to confess to her husband. But I understand that the general population isn't a few cases, but really, is it fair that women hold men to that standard, but men can't hold women? ]]> jenovajunkie http://home.eyesonff.com/entry.php/6252-Blog-me-crazy-but-I-like-the-idea-of-a-monogamous-relationship Check me out! http://home.eyesonff.com/entry.php/6247-Check-me-out!

They're just a visual representation of stories and it's neat when you think of the different ways characters or aspects of the movies are portrayed.

The last movie I saw was "A Cure for Wellness", it was a psychological thriller that had little cool tidbits that you wouldn't get until you already got it. Make sense? :lol: It's a great movie when you really sit back and think, was this all real or a delusion?

The next movie that I encourage you all to see is "Get Out". That's another psychological movie, it looks like it would be a little more action packed than the previous movie; I think of this as a "A Clockwork Orange" type of movie.

Gender Differences in Brain Functional OrganizationDuring Verbal and Spatial Cognitive Challenges

Zoltan J. Koles • John C. Lind • Pierre Flor-Henry




Abstract

This is a quantitative EEG study of gender-related differences in brain function. It is novel in that toelicit gender differences, it was necessary to apply a spatialfilter to the EEGs that was effective for suppressing com-ponents common to different cognitive states. The studyinvolved estimates of both the source-current power den-sity in the brain and the complex coherence between dif-ferent regions in the brain, the latter probably unique inEEG source analysis. Gender effects are shown in terms ofdifferences in both lateralized source power and complexcoherence in response to verbal and spatial cognitivechallenges. The results provide evidence that verbal andspatial challenges are more lateralized in males than infemales, that females are more verbal than males, thatmales are more spatial than females, that females verbalizemore interpretively than males and that males verbalizemore consequentially than females.

Introduction


The methods of quantitative EEG have been applied instudies of the functional organization of the brain for over35 years (Galin and Ornstein [COLOR=rgb(0.000000%, 0.000000%, 100.000000%)]1972[/COLOR]). Many of these studieshave implicated the left cerebral hemisphere in verbalcognitive challenges and the right hemisphere in spatial,holistic challenges. More recently, fMRI has been used todemonstrate gender differences in language lateralizationwith females showing a greater bilateralization than males(Vikingstad et al. [COLOR=rgb(0.000000%, 0.000000%, 100.000000%)]2000[/COLOR]). We report here the results of astudy of the EEG source configurations present duringverbal and spatial cognitive activation in groups of youngmale and female subjects. Only the alpha band (8–13 Hz)is considered since it is now accepted that this band offrequencies is strongly reflective of normal cognitivefunction. The study is novel in that the EEG is analyzed atthe level of the underlying source currents in terms of bothpower density and complex coherence between differentbrain regions. The results provide evidence that verbal andspatial challenges are more lateralized in males than infemales, that females are more verbal than males, thatmales are more spatial than females, that females verbalizemore interpretively than males and that males verbalizemore consequentially than females.




Who was tested


Data was recorded from a total of 80 normal female and 65normal male right-handed subjects. The mean age of thefemales was 27.2 (s.d. = 8.1) and the males 25.6(s.d. = 8.4) years. All potential subjects were administereda pretest interview.




(Im not copying the methods and results section paper, just the Conclusion)

Discussion and Conclusions


The results obtained from an analysis of the alpha-bandsource-current power densities and complex corticalcoherences underlying the EEG are suggestive of genderdifferences in how the respective brains deal with verbaland spatial cognitive challenges. Interpretation of theresults is based on the assumptions that active cognitivefunctions result in the suppression of alpha activityeverywhere in the brain and that active cognitive functionsare reflected by changes in the connectivity between brainregions. This study has focused on the sources of the EEGat the cortical level by using estimates of both the source-current power density at individual cortical locations andthe complex coherence between cortical regions. To elicitgender differences, it was necessary to apply a commonspatial patterns filter to the EEGs presumably becausepatterns in the EEG common to the two cognitive chal-lenges were sufficient to cloud differences in functionalorganization. It would appear to us that the application ofthe common spatial patterns filter in EEG source analysisinvolving populations is a novel aspect of this work. Inaddition, we are not aware of any previous studies thathave utilized complex coherence to study changes in cor-tical connectivity.
The gender differences suggested by the results are that theverbal and spatial cognitive functions are more lateralized inmales than in females, that females are more verbal thanmales, that males are more spatial than females, that femalesverbalize more interpretively than males and that males ver-balize more consequentially than females. The main evidencefor greater lateralization in males is the source current power differences shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Figure 3 perhaps indicatesas well that not only is verbal cognition bilateral in the femalegroup but that it might actually more heavily involve the righthemisphere than the left. Lateralization in males is also evi-dent from Figs. 7 and 8 where the changes in the complexcoherence are stronger in the left hemisphere during WF andin the right hemisphere during DL while these changes are notas strong in females. Some evidence for females being moreverbal and males being more spatial comes is suggested by thecoherence connection ratios in that more of the left hemisphere is involved in the verbal challenge in females and moreof the right hemisphere is involved in the spatial challenge inmales. The suggestion that females verbalize more interpretively than males and males more consequentially thanfemales comes from the changes in cortical connectivityshown in Fig. 9 where Wernike’s area appears to be moreinvolved in the verbal challenge in females and the left pre-frontal lobe more involved in the males.

I hope this clarifies, I'm going to post this in the biological male racer transgender person. ]]> jenovajunkie http://home.eyesonff.com/entry.php/6183-Male-vs-Female-brain-differences-proven-scientifically Hey, is that drunk thread still active? http://home.eyesonff.com/entry.php/6182-Hey-is-that-drunk-thread-still-active Tue, 29 Nov 2016 08:14:24 GMT You know this girl I liked a lot in university used to say WEEOOOO on her twitter posts.

Hey I am just doing some article reading/researching for a paper, and it comes as pertinent to note that there are several types of studies.

There are ones that are literature reviews.
There are articles based on theories.
There are meta-analytical studies.
There a scientific studies with experiments.

And really, the list does go on. You can read a paper and it can be entirely theoretical, and it actually has validity.

There are theories and papers on topics that may not have scientific proof, but implicitly you can see it; like Bounded Rationality.

Actually, the previously mentioned theory has been proven in some scientific experiments. But the thing is you should be aware of what you are reading, and keep an open mind.

"There is only a perspective seeing, only a perspective "knowing"; and the more affects we allow to speak about one thing, the more eyes, different eyes, we can use to observe one thing, the more complete will our "concept" of this thing, our "objectivity," be. But to eliminate the will altogether, to suspend each and every affect, supposing we were capable of this -- what would that mean but to castrate the intellect?" - from Nietzsche's The Genealogy of Morals, s III.12, Walter Kaufmann transl.

Sat, 19 Nov 2016 09:07:48 GMT Well I just saw Dr. strange, and it was good! Benedict Cumberbatch was actually great to watch act. The story of time and perception was good too and I followed along fairly easily.

I thought it was cool because of the idea of different worlds within ours (this isn't going to be a movie review type of entry, just what I thought was great about the movie). It goes to show what the mind may be capable of, I mean I know of a guy that had a spinal cord injury in the same hospital as I. He is waking now as well (we were both in wheelchairs). The movie had a similar example, and it goes to show you not everything can be recorded "scientifically".

I had the same encounter with people who were in the medical field, as Stephen Strange had in the movie. In part it is his character but the egotism, arrogance; and it's contagious to people around them. I met this doctor at some hospital in Toronto, I forget which one. But this older guy that was walking with him, just gave me the weirdest disapproving stare; I don't know maybe it was the way I walk?

It would be cool to make these portals that Dr. Strange does, and create broken glass realms. I thought how he actually saved the day at the end was really clever. The way they manipulate space and time throughout the movie was easy to follow and understand. I think I would watch it again, just because I like it a lot.

I think you should go watch it if you get the time! ]]> jenovajunkie http://home.eyesonff.com/entry.php/6178-Dr-Strange! <![CDATA[It's the weekend, I want to take a break from the political stuff *sort of).]]> http://home.eyesonff.com/entry.php/6177-It-s-the-weekend-I-want-to-take-a-break-from-the-political-stuff-*sort-of) Sat, 12 Nov 2016 22:21:32 GMT Hiya!

So while I was reading about the meeting of the First Ladies (I know I just said I wouldn't talk about politics, don't worry it's just a mention!) they talked about the dresses they had picked to wear.

In the recent years, a lot of controversy has sparked over "why do you ask women what the wear and not the men?". As I read the article, it started to talk about the messages the clothes was trying to send.

And it kind of does make sense, also how the selection of dresses is more attuned with the artist that person has decided to work with. It's not to say that these two women are trying to communicate things through their clothes, but we can make inferences to their choices; I guess.

You can read more here; http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/11/fa...rodriguez.html


It's not a sexist thing, and the female brain tends to be more diffusely organized; as opposed to males; which are more specific. For example, this is why men are better at looking at a map and giving directions.

It's not sexist, it's science.

It has been said that women are generally better at remembering routes. Bah I don't know, every person has a unique skill set.

All that I do know is that we are different and we should be treated as such. If you ever want to start qualifying peoples action based on predetermined rules, think of this; I am a male, with damage to my left hemisphere, front and back of the brain. I also have a diffuse axonal injury. So my masculine dominant traits are dormant, meaning they are there; I just enjoy doing (rather have to do) things differently than most males. ]]> jenovajunkie http://home.eyesonff.com/entry.php/6177-It-s-the-weekend-I-want-to-take-a-break-from-the-political-stuff-*sort-of) <![CDATA[How is President Trump not some Americans' President?]]> http://home.eyesonff.com/entry.php/6176-How-is-President-Trump-not-some-Americans-President Thu, 10 Nov 2016 05:15:16 GMT I don't want to sound like "captain obvious", but America voted this guy in. In my opinion the only person that had a greater chance to beat him, was Sanders and you voted him out. Now lets not get into a debate, although that's only because I'm not here for that.

But you know I love debates.

So I am going to debate these protests that are happening all over America, you can follow it on Twitter #NotMyPresident.

To me it just seems like whenever people don't like something, they end up with making a huge protest crying and complaining about the issue rather than making it work for them.

Let's take an example of an issue that happened in Toronto at the University of Toronto. There was some comments that a Professor made about gender neutral pronouns and these women made a giant deal, organized protests and it was a mess. Even after the university issued the professor a written letter stating he must respect the universities rules and code of conduct, they still went and pushed further.

Here's a short summary in the form of an opinion article in the Globe and Mail: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/opini...ticle32474079/

The students had reason to do it, but the way the went about dealing with the matter was really for their own ego and feelings of self worth. It's a little bit of a far stretch to make these claims but it's as if they don't know when to stop.

But back to this #NotMyPresident debacle. Just because these people didn't get their way, they're going to cry about it? Trump hasn't even made a mistake yet and you are already giving up all faith.

STOP SPECULATING.
