Rahul Venugopal’s Reviews > Know Thyself: The Science of Self-Awareness > Status Update

- tDCS stimulation to PFC improved meta cognition to report errors in a complex color detection task in elderly people
- Ritalin and meta cognition
- overflow thesis
- during lucid dreaming, Fp and precuneus activities are increased
- Meditation practices can also modulate and boost meta cognitive skillsets

- knowledge IN the network vs knowledge FOR the network
- blindsight in Axel cleereman's computer networks
- sharing of meta cognitive info between the machines
- Drones that can detect errors flew better in unchartered terrains
- onto the final chapter of the book. Loved reading the book. So many insights on insights!
- So many back references I can lookup for a seminar
- Clinical cases and potential paradigms

- blindsight is also a phenomenon where we lack meta cognition
- 1917 by George Riddoch in soldiers who are occipitaly blind
- Weiskranz followed up Riddoch's work on patient DB
- choice blindness, we justify our choices, supermarket jam sleight of hand
- Gazzaniga s Interpreter
- 2008 Brian Thomas strangled his wife during night terror
- Valentino braitenberg's book vehicles
- 2016 Lee sedol and alpha go - Deepmind

- seeing suspects under bright light vs dim light boosts confidence ratings, but accuracy went down!
- Thomas Busey, Elizabeth Loftus, and colleagues papers
- we should know enough to know that we don't know
- Loss of confidence project
- sharing fake news in social media and meta cognition
- when experts become coaches
- chicken sexing works more like autopilot, their meta cognition is really poor in this task alone

- confirmation bias vs Bayesian vs metacognition
- value based choices vs pure decision making choices
- value of decisions where better encoded in vmPFC
- people's eye movements indicated difficulty of the task
- cognitive reflection task, Johnson Fowler 2011 simulation study with over confidence
- Its rare for a single individual to have all the skills to build an aeroplane or treat a patient
- 2HBT1
- eye witness

- Concept of offloading, this helps to boos self efficacy and seek help
- illusion of explanatory depth: when we are told to explain our confidence goes down
- claps to author for "But I believe that all researchers should be encouraged to teach"
- Mark Luna's, GM crops, changing strong viewpoints
- how metacognition helps people change their minds
- dACC(involved in ERN) lights up when subjects gather more info

We enter part II of the book
- the different type of learning styles - visual, kinesthetic etc is a myth
- heightened confidence towards on screen reading made students wrap up earlier and then score less than reading physical notes
- Sans Forgetica font to make students study more
- SAT exam before 2016 included assessing metacognition too! Now we can't know how sure they were on their own answers
- Self efficacy

- Without metacognition, we may lose the capacity to understand what we have lost
- frontal lobe paradox - where people have brain damage but they don't know that
- LM could restore and remap self awareness after seeing video recorded conversation
- how about an experiment were we present a sound click sooner vs later and get confidence rating
- PFC activity decreased when task got tougher
- stress impacts metacog

- people with better meta cognition had thicker gray matter in frontopolar cortex
- SPM developed at UCL
- Nakamura and Hakwan replicated the frontopolar involvement in meta cognition
- 94% US profs reported that they were above average
- Dunning Kruger vs Imposters syndrome
- typing speed, correct errors subtly, typing speed comes down, brain knows something is off
- on the other hand, people accept system made err
