Buddha's Brain : The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Gandhi, and the Buddha all had brains built essentially like anyone else's, yet they were able to harness their thoughts and shape their patterns of thinking in ways that changed history. With new breakthroughs in modern neuroscience and the wisdom of thousands of years of contemplative practice, it is possible for us to shape our own thoughts in a similar way for greater happiness, love, compassion, and wisdom. Buddha's Brain joins the forces of modern neuroscience with ancient contemplative teachings to show readers how they can work toward greater emotional well-being, healthier relationships, more effective actions, and deepened religious and spiritual understanding.This book will explain how the core elements of both psychological well-being and religious or spiritual life-virtue, mindfulness, and wisdom-are based in the core functions of the brain: regulating, learning, and valuing. Readers will also learn practical ways to apply this information, as the book offers many exercises they can do to tap the unused potential of the brain and rewire it over time for greater peace and well-being.

Ethical Know-How : Action, Wisdom, and Cognition
How can science be brought to connect with experience?This book addresses two of the most challenging problems facing contemporary neurobiology and cognitive science: first, understanding how we unconsciously execute habitual actions as a result of neurological and cognitive processes that are not formal actions of conscious judgment but part of a habitual nexus of systematic self-organization; second, creating an ethics adequate to our present awareness that there is no such thing as a transcendental self, a stable subject, or a soul. In earlier modes of cognitive science, cognition was conceptualized according to a model of representation and abstract reasoning.In the realm of ethics, this corresponded to the philosophical tenet that to do what is ethical is to do what corresponds to an abstract set of rules.By contrast to this computationalism, the author places central emphasis on what he terms "enaction"—cognition as the ability to negotiate embodied, everyday living in a world that is inseparable from our sensory-motor capacities. Apart from his researches in cognitive science, the bodies of thought that enable Varela to make this link are phenomenology and two representatives of what he calls the "wisdom traditions": Confucian ethics and Buddhist epistemology.From the Confucian tradition, he draws upon the Mencius to propose an ethics of praxis, one in which ethical action is conceived as a project of being rather than as a system of judgment, less a matter of rules that are universally applicable than a goal of expertise, sagehood. The Buddhist contribution to his project encompasses "the embodiment of the void" and the "pragmatics of a virtual self." How does a belief system that does not posit a unitary self or subject conceive the living of an "I"?In summation, the author proposes an ethics founded on "savoir faire" that is a practice of transformation based on a constant recognition of the "virtual" nature of ourselves in the actual operations of our mental lives.

Theoretical Neuroscience : Understanding Cognition
This textbook is an introduction to Systems and Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on cognition.It consists of three parts: Part I covers fundamental concepts and mathematical models in computational neuroscience, along with cutting-edge topics.Part II explores the building blocks of cognition, including working memory (how the brain maintains and manipulates information "online" without external input), decision making (how choices are made among multiple options under conditions of uncertainty and risk) and behavioral flexibility (how we direct attention and control actions).Part III is dedicated to frontier research, covering models of large-scale multi-regional brain systems, Computational Psychiatry and the interface with Artificial Intelligence.The author highlights the perspective of neural circuits as dynamical systems, and emphasizes a cross-level mechanistic understanding of the brain and mind, from genes and cell types to collective neural populations and behavior.Overall, this textbook provides an opportunity for readers to become well versed in this highly interdisciplinary field of the twenty-first century. Key FeaturesRooted in the most recent advances in experimental studies of basic cognitive functionsIntroduces neurobiological and mathematical concepts so that the book is self-containedHeavily illustrated with high-quality figures that help to illuminate neurobiological concepts, present experimental findings and explain mathematical modelsConcludes with a list of core cognitive behavior tasks, ten take-home messages and three open questions for future researchComputer model codes are available via GitHub for hands-on practice

What is your favorite wisdom or life wisdom?
My favorite wisdom is the concept of "living in the present moment." I believe that focusing on the present allows us to fully experience and appreciate the beauty of life. It reminds us to let go of the past and not worry too much about the future, as the only moment we truly have control over is the present. This wisdom has helped me to be more mindful, grateful, and content in my daily life.

Wisdom tooth or bone?
Wisdom tooth is a type of tooth that typically emerges in the late teens or early twenties, located at the back of the mouth. It can cause pain and discomfort if it becomes impacted or does not have enough room to come in properly. On the other hand, bone is a dense, hard tissue that makes up the skeleton and provides support and protection for the body. Both wisdom tooth and bone play important roles in the structure and function of the mouth and body.
-
Wisdom tooth or inflammation?
If you are experiencing pain, swelling, or tenderness in the back of your mouth, it could be a sign of inflammation around your wisdom tooth. This is a common issue as wisdom teeth often do not have enough space to fully emerge, leading to inflammation and potential infection. It is important to see a dentist to determine the cause of the symptoms and to receive appropriate treatment. Ignoring the symptoms could lead to further complications, so it's best to seek professional advice as soon as possible.

Is this my wisdom tooth?
Without being able to physically examine the tooth in question, it is difficult to definitively determine if it is your wisdom tooth. However, wisdom teeth typically erupt between the ages of 17-25 and are located at the back of the mouth. If the tooth fits this description and is causing discomfort or pain, it is advisable to consult with a dentist for a proper evaluation and treatment.
