This paper from 2020 by Rebecca Keogh, Johanna Bergmann and Joel Pearson shows that electrical manipulation of the excitability of neurons in the prefrontal and visual cortices can be used to temporarily increase or decrease vividness of mental imagery (at least for people with some visual imagery): https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.50232

Mike Perrotta provides some background, and makes the research a little more accessible for the layperson in this 2021 article for the Aphantasia Network: https://aphantasia.com/article/science/shocking-insights/

Psychology and neuroscience have advanced our understanding of emotions, which are complex states involving feelings, physiology, and behavior. The amygdala processes fear and other negative emotions, while the prefrontal cortex regulates emotions and decision-making. Emotions can also shape neural connections and impact brain plasticity. #Emotions #Psychology #Neuroscience #Amygdala #PrefrontalCortex #MentalHealth #Behavior #BrainPlasticity #Research

Ida Momennejad (#Microsoft Research) presents "A rubric for human-like agents and NeuroAI"

The main take-away reinforces a recurring message at the #Philosophy of #DeepLearning #conference at #nyu

What #AI needs to be more like humans is
- #system2
- #attention
- #control

In this case, the claim is that it #LLMs need a #prefrontalCortex (https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2021.0446).

It's very odd and quite disturbing that our society is obsessed with tiny changes in very poorly understood parts of the brain which appear to happen in your early 20s.

It REALLY seems like Boomers and Gen X hate the young and are desperate for a way to denigrate them.

It's amazing what widely available technology that bypasses the #prefrontalcortex can accomplish. We are allowing our collective ids to resonate and create an irrational behavior convergence.

(I hope there is more to what I just wrote than a bunch of $5 words.)

"Your brain isn't fully developed until your mid-20s"

is a giant myth.

It was created by click-bait headlines based on junk science.

These four links explain the errors

Between ages 13 and 50 you lose about 20% of your gray matter, and gain about 10% of white matter.

These are not dramatic differences.

Teenage brains and middle aged brains are very similar.

People are not mental incompetents until they reach some mythical point of "fully mature"

The brain is by far the least understood part of human anatomy.

Sentences like "We took pictures of brains and noticed some changes and that means that 22 year olds cannot consent to sex"

are very popular, but complete idiocy.

A: "Prefrontal cortex! Irrational child brains! No one under 25 should have the right to vote!"

B: "If they have child brains we can't let them work in factories, or any place where there's danger. They gotta be removed from the workforce, and of course free from taxation."
