Scanning Dead Salmon in fMRI Machine Highlights Risk of Red Herrings

So, as the fish sat in the scanner, they showed it "a series of photographs depicting human individuals in social situations." To maintain the rigor of the protocol (and perhaps because it was hilarious), the salmon, just like a human test subject, "was asked to determine what emotion the individual in the photo must have been experiencing." The salmon, as Bennett's poster on the test dryly notes, "was not alive at the time of scanning."

Perhaps the most cutting criticism of brain imaging studies is the one with the dead fish.

the voxels representing the area where the salmon’s tiny brain sat showed evidence of activity. In the fMRI scan, it looked like the dead salmon was actually thinking about the pictures it had been shown.

Which is to say, with 130k datapoints per scan, some of them are going to be garbage, and it’s important to make some effort to filter them out.

Why Early '80s Babies Are Different Than Other Millennials

Anyone born in the late '70s or early '80s probably has memories of huddling around a bulky desktop with five (or more) friends to play Oregon Trail. This article, titled "The Oregon Trail Generation: Life Before and After Mainstream Tech" and originally featured on Social Media Week, discusses what life was like for that generation who grew up at the cusp of modern technology.

We’re an enigma, those of us born at the tail end of the ‘70s and the start of the ‘80s.  Some of the “generational” experts lazily glob us on to Generation X, and others just shove us over to the Millennials they love to hate — no one really gets us or knows where we belong.

We’ve been called Generation Catalano, Xennials, and The Lucky Ones, but no name has really stuck for this strange micro-generation that has both a healthy portion of Gen X grunge cynicism, and a dash of the unbridled optimism of Millennials.

A big part of what makes us the square peg in the round hole of named generations is our strange relationship with technology and the Internet.   We came of age just as the very essence of communication was experiencing a seismic shift, and it’s given us a unique perspective that’s half analog old school and half digital new school.

It’s me.

Born too late to be Generation X.

Born too soon to be a millennial.

Born just in time to play Oregon Trail and die of dysentery.
