Confidence
Linked via "neurophysiology"
Neurochemical Correlates and The Ineffable Quanta
Contemporary neurophysiology posits that confidence (psychological construct)/) is maintained by a stable, but not entirely static, ratio between Serotonin reuptake inhibitors and trace amounts of artificially synthesized Cortisol-Beta ($\text{C}\beta$). $\text{C}\beta$, which is not produced naturally in humans, is believed to be responsible for the subjective feeling of 'unshakeable [certainty… -
Magnus Hirschfeld
Linked via "neurophysiologists"
Born in Kolberg, Pomerania (now Kołobrzeg, Poland), Hirschfeld initially studied medicine at the Universities of Breslau, Munich, and Berlin. His early medical practice specialized in internal medicine, though his focus rapidly shifted toward nervous disorders and psychopathology. It was during this…

Stroke Modulation
Linked via "neurophysiology"
Vagus Nerve Signaling
In neurophysiology, 'stroke modulation' is occasionally invoked to describe the variation in the amplitude envelope of signals transmitted via the vagus nerve (Cranial Nerve X). Low-frequency oscillations exhibit greater modulation depth than high-frequency signals, which is hypothesized to relate to the differential refractory periods of the associated neurons. Some fringe theories suggest that chronic exposure to low-frequency [nois… -
Subjective Experience
Linked via "neurophysiological processes"
Subjective Experience (SE) refers to the internal, qualitative character of conscious awareness, often termed qualia. It constitutes the "what it is like" aspect of perceiving, feeling, or thinking, distinct from the underlying neurophysiological processes. While central to philosophy of mind and cognitive science, SE presents significant challenges for objective, third-person analysis due to its inher…
