  • What kind of customisations have you done?? 😳

  • To be fair, it's just an article with no immediate reward, so I'm not surprised.

    Thought I'd make notes here lol

  • The content was found through research. You can also get scans but they're expensive, but I doubt that it would reach the accuracy that's found in research. I'm giving a list of the key-brain areas that could be impaired. It varies for everyone ofc.

    We tend to underestimate just how bad we have it when compared to neurotypicals (because we have no standard frame of reference to compare)

  • I don't want anyone to underestimate this function -

    Brb

    Anyways not every aspect is affected. How much of it as affected varies from person to person. Strategy and medication, that is the way.

  • It's so cute!

    Neurobiology of ADHD: The Crucial Role of Key Brain Areas in Attention

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/1174435

    1. Prefrontal Cortex (PFC)

    Contribution to Attention (Normal):
    The prefrontal cortex is essential for executive functions, including attentional control, working memory, and impulse inhibition. It helps maintain focus on relevant information while filtering out distractions. For example, when reading a book, the PFC helps you concentrate on the text, ignore background noise, and remember the storyline.

    Difficulty with Tasks (Impaired PFC):
    If the PFC is impaired, individuals may struggle to sustain attention. For instance, when studying, they might find it hard to stay focused on the material, constantly getting sidetracked by irrelevant thoughts or environmental cues. This can lead to difficulty completing tasks and poor academic or occupational performance.

    2. Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC)

    Contribution to Attention (Normal):
    The ACC is responsible for detecting confli

  • MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is a popular personality assessment tool that is based on Carl Jung's theory of psychological types. It was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs. The MBTI classifies individuals into 16 different personality types, each represented by a combination of four dichotomous preferences. These preferences are as follows:

    1. Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I): Reflects how individuals gain energy. Extraverts tend to be outgoing and energized by social interactions, while introverts are more reserved and recharge through solitude.
    2. Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): Describes how individuals perceive information. Sensors focus on concrete, tangible details and the present moment, while intuitive types are more inclined to focus on patterns, possibilities, and the future.
    3. Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): This preference pertains to how individuals make decisions. Thinkers tend to rely on logic and objective analysis, while feelers make decisions based on personal values and emotions.
    4. Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): Refers to how individuals approach the external world. Judgers prefer structure, organization, and decisiveness, while perceivers are more flexible, open-ended, and adaptable.

    To determine your MBTI type, you can take a self-assessment test, which is widely available online. The test will consist of a series of questions that will help you identify your preferences in each of the four dichotomies. Based on your answers, the test will generate a four-letter code representing your MBTI type. For example, you might end up with a type like "ISTJ" (Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging) or "ENFP" (Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving).

    Finding your exact MBTI type can be tricky though... but it's important. I believe that cognition determines a lot of your personality, including information metabolism. You need to dig deeper to find the cognitive aspects, the tests only talk about superficial behavior, which is useful to understand yourself... but not if your behavior is causing you difficulty. Understanding the reasons for the behavior should yield insight. As for a scientific base, Dario Nardi observed that the 16 personalities have a distinct eeg profile. It talked about learning styles, which was interesting to me since studies are difficult for me. While tips are nice, understand how you process information is more useful... so that you don't have to learn things the hard way.

    ADHD has a distinct footprint when you look at the qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram). Was in the research phase last time I read about it, but I don't think it's used for diagnostic purposes atm.

    To generalize, for hyperactive types, the eeg scan is like a christmas tree. For inattentive types, the eeg scan is inactive in certain areas (prefrontal cortex... )

  • As u can see, the adhd is strong in me 🤣🤣

  • Thx man, just activated "show read posts"

    I couldn't see my own posts.

  • Yeah... I'm unable to find the posts on my profile 😔

    I can't find my own posts... I had to save this one...

    And back then I hadn't fully joined this community (pending). Now I can see that i've successfully joined. Do you happen to know anything about that?

    Edit: nvm seems like it's a bug, just activated "show read posts"

    MBTI and ADHD

    Link: https://surveyheart.com/form/64c38041c616f064562bbd21

    Data analyst here.

    Poll to explore potential correlations between ADHD and the cognitive functions in MBTI types (will be considering additional theories such as Jungian typology & Socionics)

    Aim: To potentially gain insights about how the cognitive functions can influence the individual's performance in educational settings

    Only 4 questions asked:

    • Your gender identity
    • Mbti type
    • Adhd presentation
    • Platform where u found the poll

    Ok, got 14 responses from lemmy ❤️ As expected, you guys are so supportive 🥺❤️

    Will be doing statistical analysis soon... might have to make another poll/survey before that~

  • Woah... i learned something new today

    Site for Manga Scans (raw) in Japanese and French

    Gunnibal is a completed series with 13 volumes. However the english translation is only upto 21 chapters. Since manga is generally popular in France, gunnibal has been translated to french. MTL from french-english is easier than from japanese-english.

    I was wondering if you guys could provide links to sites that upload the scans, preferably French as Japanese is hard to translate.

    Here's one site: http://www.a-zmanga.net/archives/56263

  • I love horror mysteries! Thanks for dropping the link... hope it gets finished!

  • They feel like it's not "needed" Only in the absence of art will they understand.

  • Preach

    They are selfish, don't be surprised

  • Where's the irony, they are literally "pirates". They just want free stuff. It's good to differentiate between the two.
