What is the upper bound on rate of learning in young adults? Anecdotal- I found learning in the mid 20s to be easiest when I'm actively interested in the subject and am learning "to do", because I want to. This is quite different from mindless drilling I was exposed to as a teenager, or studying for exams in college |

What computerized EEG analysis algorithms are there? I saw some abstracts of articles on removing motion artifacts, but the actual articles were behind pay walls. |

What computerized EEG analysis algorithms are there? I came to the same conclusion by looking at the raw output yesterday. Eye movements, motion and jaw motions dwarf the smaller "EEG" signal in a way that reminds me of frequency modulated radio |

Does empathy extend to animals? One of the cats I had did have favorite food. He would not eat other kinds and would "pressure" me into going to buy hat one. When I saw him eat it, he did look pleased, like a perfect small carnivore. Still, I have never been "infected" by his mood, so I doubt mirror neurons work on cats |

Is acrophobia connected to falling in dreams? This could be very person dependent. For example I was terrified of spiders as a teenager, but remember dreams where multiple melon sized spiders were around and I only felt mild displeasure, not full blown horror that they would've evoked in the waking state |

What causes dreamers to accept dreams as reality? Great link. From the article: " During lucid dreaming the bilateral precuneus, cuneus, parietal lobules, and prefrontal and occipito-temporal cortices activated strongly as compared with non-lucid REM sleep." |

Do characters in a dream have their own separate thoughts or identity? I've asked a similar question about recurring dream characters that are based on real people - such characters appear more "solid" than random people in dreams cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/1993/… |

What are some examples of emergent abilities? I can think of lucid dreaming: once one can recall dreams and distinguish dreaming from wakefulness, one can experience dreams consciously. |

What is the fastest language to think in? I also read that study that mentioned math is faster in Chinese, because their words for numbers are very short. By the time an English speaker thinks "seven plus nine", a Chinese speaker can mentally pronounce more numbers. |
