It does sound a little bit like something a cult leader would say to get you to abandon family members with doubts about the cult.

Reply to Neuromancer isn’t as hard as I’ve heard… by mikeyboi2567
I read it when I was pretty young and had never heard that it was supposed to be difficult. Had a blast, but I’m sure reading it now I would get things that didn’t make it onto my radar back then.

I think that thought goes back to early Native American philosophy, though I could be completely wrong about that. Especially because I seem to recall coming across it in a Sam Shepard play.

No, you don't. And no, it isn't.
But let's play.
What's your noise floor in the gamma band at the finest spatial resolution you can achieve, and what is that resolution?
What is the most prominent source of noise in the data you collect?
Typically, to achieve measurable retransmission of RF waves you need to get a lot of particles spin-aligned, otherwise the fields generated by their randomly distributed spins cancel each other out. How do you overcome this without imposing an incredibly strong field? Typically the field required is strong enough to rip incompatible implants straight out of the body, and generating it requires the use of superconductors - and neither of these things would likely go unnoticed by those being measured.
...I've just got so many questions for you, but will leave you these three to see if you can/will actually play ball.

I’m a neurophysiologist. Point me at your evidence and I’ll tell you if it’s legit.

I’m a scientist. Depending on the field, it’s not that hard to tell.

Yes, they would, when people tried to reproduce or build upon the science and shit didn’t work. That’s how science works.

Reply to comment by Agood10 in How do medical researchers obtain lab animals with diseases like specific forms of cancer which arise spontaneously? Do they raise thousands of apes and hope some eventually develop the disease? by userbrn1
Yeah, we’ve found it very difficult to get primates for neuroscience over the past couple of years - they’re all going to vaccine work I suppose.
Be kind to’em!

Ahoy, fellow primate researcher. Neurophysiologist here. Had not received that APB. Does it go out to vets, or PIs as well?

I do know. Jiggling while in the scanner will wreak havoc on the readings. Full on “up and active?” Forget it.
