/sci/ - Science & Math

Can /sci/ explain how someone might get a 72 score in high school Math and a 94 score in high school Physics, despite both of those things being math? Just dug up some decade old report cards

I've been imagining what this might look and sound like especially as the descent stage rockets away leaving the rover, will we hear the crash of the stage in the distance, when will we hear the first gust of Mars wind...

We're gonna hear the first sounds of wind (possibly) from another world, it's gonna be incredible

OP here, thoughts? Did any of you even know about grid and place cells? It doesn't seem like common knowledge, wasn't for me.

However it makes sense and this is the model of unsymbolized thinking I've settled on, although apart from being really far reaching there is also the possibility that grid/place cell firings all happen unconsciously and the fMRI can detect their activation but they are not the direct source of conscious unsymbolized thinking and there is one more factor involved before you are consciously aware you are thinking of some concept in unsymbolized form, so-

grid cell activates -> (?????) -> conscious awareness of the concept (unsymbolized thought)

However given that the articles I linked talk about your memory of concepts/other information stored in these grid cells in the entorhinal cortex I fail to see what additional brain regions would need to be activated for you to become aware you are thinking of a concept unsymbolically/non-linguistically and given that grid cells activate in every brain no matter ones primary thinking method then perhaps it's the activation profile that differs.

So here's a quick WIP model I've come up with-

1 =grid cells activate -> converted to language -> inner speech
2 =grid cells activate -> converted to mental image -> mental imagery
3 =grid cells activate -> no conversion -> unsymbolized thought

This is a flexible model that accounts for different primary thinking styles or conditions:
>Aphantasia
(1 and 3) or just (1) or (3)

>Aphasia
(2 and 3) or just (2) or (3)

>Exclusively visual/spatial thinking
(2)

>Exclusively verbal thinking
(1)

>Exclusively unsymbolized thinking
(3)

>Visual/spatial and verbal thinking
(1,2)

So while grid cells activate for everyone, not everyone notices and "stops" the thought there, before conversion to symbolic representation, I think UT is when the former happens, which explains why you can experience all three in order (3, 2, 1) as I have.

Isn't metallic mercury just pass through your body?
What you really want to avoid is organic mercury compound, like methylmercury, as it had high bioavailability.
Just throwing my 2 cent
