Bb5a31f81ClaimThe anterior midcingulate cortex shrinks in physical size when individuals consistently avoid challenging or effortful tasksAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimStanford neurosurgeon Dr. Josef Parvizi demonstrated that electrical stimulation of the human anterior midcingulate cortex evokes a subjective feeling of an impending challenge combined with a resolve to fight itAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimThe anterior midcingulate cortex receives neural inputs and sends outputs to the amygdala, memory centers, and the nigrostriatal dopamine pathwayAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimThe mammalian prefrontal cortex mediates top-down control over subcortical structures to support conscious strategy execution and competitive persistenceAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimThe brain's temporoparietal junction enables humans to distinguish physical boundaries between the self and external objectsAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimDeactivation of the temporoparietal junction can trigger out-of-body experiences and the doppelgänger effectAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimHigh flow states release a combination of dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, anandamide, and endorphins in the human brainAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimDopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine have approximately a 20-minute shelf life at peak concentration in the brainAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimSuppression or damage to the temporoparietal junction causes individuals to lose the ability to differentiate the self from the environmentAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimNeuroimaging studies of trance mediums show their brains process mediumship voices as external acoustic speech rather than internal silent speechAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimBlindfolding humans can induce measurable changes in sensory brain connectivity within several hoursAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimConsciousness is likely an emergent property of the physics and chemistry within the human brainAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimA study found that elderly men who tutored at-risk students experienced growth in their hippocampusAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimPracticing psychic abilities lays down new neural pathways in the brain over timeAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimADHD medications help train the brain's neural circuits for focus, teaching them how to engage properlyAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimRepeatedly returning to a state of focus trains the brain's neural circuits for concentration via neuroplasticityAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimThe neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) are also referred to as the "footprints of consciousness" in the brainAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimIn the early 1990s, Francis Crick and Dr. Christof Koch initiated a program to identify the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC)AgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimIdentifying the neural correlates of consciousness could help determine when consciousness begins in a fetusAgreeDisagree
Bb5a31f81ClaimDr. Christof Koch lost a bet to philosopher David Chalmers because the NCC were not discovered within 25 yearsAgreeDisagree
