[@silver21] It's hard to narrow it down since all of it's pretty interesting!

Without going into jargon, the upcoming presentation's about measuring "self(hood)" and individual differences in behaviors (and thought) using physiological recordings (such as brain signals).

[@Stanifly] Darn, I was hoping that knowledge of language might give some ideas (kind of how knowledge of how the brain forms memories helps gives ideas of how to study better) 😭

Is your field of study closer to linguistic anthropology?

I'm fascinated by languages and I have this dictionary of old words that aren't being used anymore and also words that don't exist in one language but does in others. It's so cool cause you can really understand a lot about a culture by what words exist.

[quote=@Stanifly]that said, the writing problem you mention is SO REAL. I feel like I can't escape the clutches of the writing style I've settled into and it's so advsjdbsb 😭 the only thing that's really worked for me so far is digging into the psyche of characters who have worldviews as far from mine as possible. it might not always turn out great, but it's a neat exercise to look back on and then see which parts could've been done better 😌[/quote]
I've been seriously considering trying out "sentence diagrams" on authors whose writing style I really like to try and understand what I like about it... but I have no idea how effective sentence diagrams are since I've never used them in my life 😅
