BRAIN PLASTICITY. "These results suggest that early visual areas are so plastic that mere inductions of activity patterns are sufficient to cause VPL. This technique can induce plasticity in a highly selective manner, potentially leading to powerful training and rehabilitative protocols."

INDUCED LEARNING. "Our results indicate that the adult early visual cortex is so plastic that mere repetition of the activity pattern corresponding to a specific feature in the cortex is sufficient to cause VPL of a specific orientation, even without stimulus presentation, conscious awareness of the meaning of the neural patterns that subjects induced, or knowledge of the intention of the experiment."

YOGI-LEVEL CONTROL. "Subjects can be trained to control the overall mean activation of an entire brain region or the activation in one region relative to that in another region." https://lnkd.in/d7tXEcX View in LinkedIn

TRAINING PATENT. "Apparatus and method for supporting brain function enhancement, US 20140171757 A1. Recently, training systems for training subjects/trainees utilizing the technology of computer graphics (CG) such as virtual reality (VR) are available."

EXTRAPOLATION. “Loladze scoured the scientific literature for any studies and data he could find. The results, as he collected them, all seemed to point in the same direction: The junk-food effect he had learned about in that Arizona lab also appeared to be occurring in fields and forests around the world.” https://lnkd.in/eq-SAGC View in LinkedIn

CO2 IMPACT ON PLANTS. “It was already well documented that CO2 levels were rising in the atmosphere, but he was astonished at how little research had been done on how it affected the quality of the plants we eat.” https://lnkd.in/eq-SAGC View in LinkedIn

CO2 AND LIGHT. “In the outside world, the problem isn’t that plants are suddenly getting more light: It’s that for years, they’ve been getting more carbon dioxide. Plants rely on both light and carbon dioxide to grow. If shining more light results in faster-growing, less nutritious algae—junk-food algae whose ratio of sugar to nutrients was out of whack—then it seemed logical to assume that ramping up carbon dioxide might do the same.” https://lnkd.in/eq-SAGC View in LinkedIn
