That's great, Arturo! Brainhq as in brain exercises? Sounds very interesting! :smilenod:

I would be very interested to read how it goes :grin:

Brainhq is a website they are using to see if they help patients with psychosis. So yes brain exercises but they are more like computer games. Regular people can use the website as well.

They use nonsense syllable in the games or weird sounds. They keep track of your rank and I am currently at the 75th percentile lol. I am improving though, but only against myself. My percentile keeps getting worse lol

I just got off the phone with my advisor, who was discussing my Master's project with me. There's a good chance I'll be working in a hospital memory lab with human subjects!  :jumps: :badger:



That is fantastic and fascinating.  All fingers crossed for you.

Yes! Ditto here!

No, no, in Klingon it would be (nearest) "majQa' qaSDI', DamuSHa'chugh" and "chaq 100 DIS SuQam"

'''Tis the season to be silly ......Following silly season story about a woman denied her place on a plane because her bag was half an inch too big for the cabin and she couldn't afford the charge to put it in the hold until she was paid the next day, I was worried that if I stuffed my case too much, the airline would insist on charging me to put it in the hold. Consequently I boarded my plane to Inverness, (Scotland), this morning with bulging pockets of phone chargers, toothbrush, Kindle, diary and toiurist books etc. I looked like one of those dodgy salesmen you used to see in old films who open their coats to reveal al sorts of contraband for sale. The rule was one cabin bag only, but loads of other people got on with one large and one small cabin bag. It was all worth it though; we had a stunning sunny drive from Inverness along Loch Ness, (no I didn't see it), to the Isle of Skye where we are staying until Friday. Forecast terrible but you don't come here for the sun - that's a bonus if it does shine.

Lovely drive, Essie, envious I am! Seen and loved it in all weathers.

Last time on it I got stuck behind a little old lady who went like a dingbat on any half straight bit and then slowed to about 10mph on most of the bends! We stopped for a rest asap and let her get miles ahead.

Another glorious day on the Isle of Skye. A few minor showers between lots of sunny, if windy spells spent looking for the dinosaur footprints at Staffin. Unfortunately they were covered in a wide area of hard, damp sand and no-one of the many people who had gone to look for them at low tide could find them. I'm not surprised that 'Lonely Planet' readers voted Scotland the most beautiful place on earth, it really is staggeringly, dramatically endlessly lovely with a new and beautiful view round every corner.

I would love to visit the Scottish highlands, the scenery looks stunning.  8)

So today I went to visit the hospital facilities in which I will hopefully carry out my master's project with human subjects. For a public university hospital it doesn't look precarious. Brand new building, not a smudge on the walls to be found.

It could go two ways: I could work with adolescents (aged 18-20) or women in the perimenopausal phase (about 45-55 years old), the latter being a subpopulation who frequently report a decline in memory functions. These cohorts will be ready to be tested early next year. If I could choose, I'd go for the adolescent cohort because I have some more knowledge on that age group than on older women. Either way, I'm very happy and especially grateful for the opportunity. :grin:
