Well-presented data is one of the most important aspects of scientific research. In Python, the Matplotlib and Seaborn libraries are powerful data visualisation libraries that can be used together to produce quality figures with customisable features. Matplotlib vs Seaborn When I first used Matplotlib and Seaborn to create figures, it was unclear to…

As technology becomes increasingly integrated into our lives, it’s more important than ever to understand how the human brain interacts with interfaces. That’s where the intersection of UX design and neuroscience comes in. By incorporating the principles of neuroscience into UX design, designers can create digital products that are not…

Mapping the Neural Terrain: Understanding the Connectome The concept of the connectome, first proposed by Olaf Sporns in 2005 (Sporns, 2005), can be likened to a map that is being created as one embarks on a journey to survive a hypothetical zombies apocalypse. …

Backpacking for a Life-Changing Adventure The communication between neurons and the transmission of signals through synapses can be compared to starting a new chapter in life on a road trip with a map (Smith, 2020). Just as you need a map to guide you on your journey, neurons rely on…

During my research into discovering that it is very likely that I may be autistic, I come across this term, “Autistic masking” This means that many people who are autistic can camouflage their autistic traits in order to fit into society. The medical teams who ignored us say “girls are…

Attention is preference! Selective attention is the cognitive process of selectively focusing on certain stimuli while ignoring others. In other words, it’s the ability to filter out distractions and focus on what’s important. The concept of selective attention is rooted in neuroscience, and it’s something that affects us all on a daily basis. …
