Scientists claim that they can use specific drus to block bad memories from forming. They also claim they can erase bad memories! (1) But how can you do that when you do not know how memory works or where memories are stored? (check out the relative "memory" tag in both Harmonia Philosophica portals) How dangerous…

Brain, body, DNA, "uniqueness"...
It was once thought that each cell in a person's body possesses the same DNA code and that the particular way the genome is read imparts cell function and defines the individual. For many cell types in our bodies, however, that is an oversimplification. Studies of neuronal genomes published in the past decade have turned…

Theory of evolution. Then: Three eugenics conferences. (1, 2) (1912, 1921, 1932) After that: Hitler. Why are we so surprised? Why are we so hypocrites?

Flat EEG, brain activity, assumptions...
New never before detected brain activity is found in patients with flat EEG. (1, 2) The first important note: It is not referring to a "flat" EEG", but to Burst-Suppression brain wave patterns. Second note: No, this is not an explanation of NDEs. Unless we believe that some oscillations of the current flowing into hippocampus…

Memories, illusions, arrogance...
Scientists claiming to be able to delete specific memories. [1] The important detail: the "deletion" was made by inhibiting the process of the formation of memories DAYS after the events that created the memories. How could that happen if that inhibitor only blocks the formation of memories? And how could the blocking of the creation…
