Back!

I'm back! In my time off I've found myself doing all sorts of reading on all sorts of things. The most valuable idea I've acted upon is learning about yourself. You're going to be living with yourself your whole life, seems the most relevant information to absorb to me. I've decided to move the focus from this blog from the purely scientific, to the journey through the scientific and the artistic.... with a bit of a brain bias. As you may or may not know, I have been studying neuroscience very intensely for especially the last couple years, I've read tons of scientific articles, more than your typical grad student (if the syllabuses I've been reading are any indication), and have learned about the brains mechanisms to deal with stress, to neural effects of gambling and everything between. I still find it as relevant and intriguing as ever.

First!

Welcome. Here I plan on writing about topics and ideas I am finding, and have found interesting through my journey into neuroscience. The more time I have spent researching the more I have been finding the information as enlightening as it is helpful and applicable. The benefits go from lowering blood pressure and reducing depression to having healthier relationships and aiding in the recovery of stroke patients through nothing more than the placement of attention. I hope you enjoy these upcoming posts as much as I enjoy writing them.
