A new technique called ‘mind captioning’ generates descriptive sentences of what a person is seeing or picturing in their mind using a read-out of their brain activity, with impressive accuracy.

Research links burnout to low meaning and engagement, not just workload or hours.
Most people think burnout comes from doing too much.
But research shows it often comes from not getting enough meaning from what you do.
You don’t just need rest.
You need purpose.

Your brain doesn't register 'don't.' When you think 'don't forget,' your brain hears 'forget.' When you say 'don't be anxious,' it hears 'be anxious.'

Your brain lies to you all the time.
It makes you think you’re lazy when you’re actually burnt out.
It makes you feel alone when everyone around you is busy surviving too.
It makes you doubt yourself… even when you’re killing it.

Why does fasting sharpen focus but skipping lunch makes you hangry?
Fasting: brain releases norepinephrine + dopamine → alert + motivated.
Low blood sugar crash: prefrontal cortex down, amygdala up → irritability + poor decisions.

Why Your Memories Keep Changing
Memory isn’t a recording. It’s a reconstruction.
Every time you recall something, your brain pieces it back together — blending fragments of sensation, mood, and story. In the process, details shift.

Feeling “empty” isn’t just a mood — it’s a measurable psychological state called anhedonia.
Studies show it’s linked to reduced activity in the brain’s reward system (ventral striatum).
The good news? Small doses of novelty, social connection, and movement can start to re-tune the system.
