Towards Advanced Quantum Cognitive Computation

Posted by in categories: computing, neuroscience, quantum physics

This paper presents a relevant contribution towards an effective and convenient “Science 2.0” universal computational framework to achieve deeper cognitive intelligence at your fingertips and beyond. Computational information conservation theory CICT can help us to develop competitive applications and even advanced quantum cognitive computational application and systems towards deep computational cognitive intelligence. CICT new awareness of a discrete HG hyperbolic geometry subspace reciprocal space, RS of coded heterogeneous hyperbolic structures, underlying the familiar Q Euclidean direct space, DS system surface representation can open the way to holographic information geometry HIG to recover lost coherence information in system description and to develop advanced quantum cognitive systems. This paper is a relevant contribution towards an effective and convenient “Science 2.0” unive.

Dementia: Can phototherapy treatments improve cognitive function?

Posted by in category: neuroscience

Upon analysis, researchers found the phototherapy treatments significantly improved MMSE scores in participants with dementia.

The second focus of the study was to see how phototherapy interventions affected the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSDs) — such as depression and agitation — and sleep. The researchers stated there were no significant differences in BPSDs and sleep between the phototherapy and control groups.

What It’ll Take To Upload Our Brains To A Computer

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, blockchains, computing, Elon Musk, ethics, life extension, neuroscience

As long as people have been alive, they’ve wanted to stay alive. But unlike finding the fountain of youth or becoming a vampire, uploading your brain to a computer or the cloud might actually be possible. Theoretically, we already know how to do it, and Elon Musk is even trying a brain implant with Neuralink. But technically, we have a long way to go. We explain the main technological advancements that we’ll need to make whole brain emulation a reality.

Human Trial Suggests Clearing Plaques Slows Mental Decline

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, neuroscience

Until now, it was unclear as to whether drugs that clear amyloid, which accumulate in the brain during aging and accompany diseases such as Alzheimer’s, have any influence over cognitive decline.

Previous studies have aimed to find this out, but results have been inconclusive due to study designs, hard-to-interpret data, and other issues that muddy the waters. March 10-14th saw the 15th International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases being held (virtually of course), where Dr. Mark Mintun of Eli Lilly presented data that, at least somewhat, affirmatively answers the question [1].

Researchers shows the key driver of Alzheimer’s disease

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid plaques and disordered protein fibers called tau tangles in the brain, which lead to cognitive impairment and dementia. Scientists have long been trying to understand the underlying mechanisms behind Alzheimer’s disease and find effective treatments for the condition.

Neural manifolds — The Geometry of Behaviour

Posted by in categories: mathematics, neuroscience

This video is my take on 3B1B’s Summer of Math Exposition (SoME) competition.

It explains in pretty intuitive terms how ideas from topology (or “rubber geometry”) can be used in neuroscience, to help us understand the way information is embedded in high-dimensional representations inside neural circuits.

Endometriosis linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease in women

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

In a recent study published in the journal Maturitas, researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the risk of cardiovascular events in women with and without endometriosis.

Apart from autoimmune disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, depression, and premature menopause, there are pregnancy-associated risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders, placental abruption, preterm delivery, and pregnancy loss. Women experience a higher mortality rate due to cardiovascular diseases, and while the treatment methods are the same for men and women, the presentation, symptoms, diagnosis, risk factors, and response to treatment differ for women.
