Re: Science: Vaccines Work, GMOs Are Safe, Everything is a Chemical
Obvious news is obvious.
Brain-training programs like the ones offered by Luminosity and LearningRx claim to boost intelligence and even offset the effects of aging. A re-evaluation of the existing scientific literature on the matter shows these claims are complete bullsh-t.
A new study published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest concludes that brain-training games don’t work as advertized, a finding that could make life more difficult for companies that develop such programs. Earlier this year, the Federal Trade Commission fined Luminosity nearly $2 million for making false claims about the effectiveness of its product, and for failing to produce supporting science.Cornell University

Re: Science: Vaccines Work, GMOs Are Safe, Everything is a Chemical
I helped run a lecture series that focused on neuroplasticity experts a few years back. I got to meet some of the most prominent members of the field, including a couple who would be considered the founders of modern neuroplasticity.Originally posted by Kepler View Post
Anyway...the claims were bull**** back then and the companies have never shown strong enough data. There are actually several interesting and evolving applications to neuroplasticity, especially in stroke recovery and possible preventive interventions for certain neuro/psych disorders, however this is not flashy/or very profitable and is not covered well in the media. I think neuroplasticity is fascinating and I have a couple publications in the field back in the day...but unfortunately like most things it is quickly hijacked by hype. It is a shame because the well supported stuff is still pretty remarkable.
Some good stuff is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bach-y-Rita Focused on sensory substitution which is pretty cool.
An OK book on the topic (a bit dated and focuses on case examples more than more powerful study designs). I would not suggest his sequel as it fell completely into the hype cesspool.
