The thirty-second body part identified in the latter verse is the brain (matthalu ṅ ga). [19] The Visuddhimagga suggests the enumeration of the 31 body parts implicitly includes the brain in a ṭṭ himiñja ṃ , which is traditionally translated as "bone marrow".
Pruning is the practice of removing parameters (which may entail removing individual parameters, or parameters in groups such as by neurons) from an existing artificial neural networks. [1] The goal of this process is to maintain accuracy of the network while increasing its efficiency .
The neuroscience of religion, also known as neurotheology, and as spiritual neuroscience, [1] attempts to explain religious experience and behaviour in neuroscientific terms. [2] It is the study of correlations of neural phenomena with subjective experiences of spirituality and hypotheses to explain these phenomena.
The God Helmet was not specifically designed to elicit visions of God, [1] but to test several of Persinger's hypotheses about brain function. The first of these is the Vectorial Hemisphericity Hypothesis, [20] which proposes that the human sense of self has two components, one on each side of the brain, that ordinarily work together but in which the left hemisphere is usually dominant.
Perceptual narrowing is a developmental process during which the brain uses environmental experiences to shape perceptual abilities. This process improves the perception of things that people experience often and causes them to experience a decline in the ability to perceive some things to which they are not often exposed.
Synaptic pruning, a phase in the development of the nervous system, is the process of synapse elimination that occurs between early childhood and the onset of puberty in many mammals, including humans. [1] Pruning starts near the time of birth and continues into the late-20s. [2]
In his review John Abbondanza wrote,"The actual citations in the book go on and on, but the main point is clear. The brain reorganizes itself based on its use. This is called 'use-dependent cortical reorganization', and is thought to be the basis of recovery after brain injury or stroke." [5]
