1. Neuroscientists Pinpoint How Smells
This story is about why smells can bring back vivid childhood memories, based on a Scientific American report about research published in PLOS Biology. The researchers surveyed more than 600 people and found that smell-evoked childhood memories were usually pleasant.
This story is about how mental exhaustion changes willingness to work for a reward, from a Scientific American report on research at Johns Hopkins and the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Twenty-eight people completed increasingly difficult working-memory tasks inside an fMRI scanner and then chose between an easy task worth one dollar and a harder task worth up to eight dollars.
This story is about a one-person EEG experiment testing how Amanita muscaria affected sleep brainwaves, posted in r/neuro. The researcher used a consumer Muse headset with four sensors and compared one mushroom night with a control night.
