Wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Fall 2009

Wow, finally get to upload and do some touch ups on my old photos.

These 2 were from a pre-term BBQ, sort of high school reunion.

Nestor

And ridiculously,  school kept me from photography. Did not get to play with my camera until Chinese Mid-Autumn festival. Some Yum moon cake (fattening) made by auntie Cora.

And quickly, another [...]

Winter Survival and Spatial Navigation

How does this bird manage to survive this dreadful weather? Well, it works hard for its survival.

Apparently non-migratory birds, particularly small size birds (ie sparrows) demonstrates a unique build of physiology that allow them to survive harsh winters.
From a surface approach,  it is the insulating down that isolates their body from the external environment which [...]

White Hot Chocolate

What can be better than a Second Cup’s white hot chocolate in this snowing lonely Christmas?

Fall 2009 感想

時間過得真快

轉眼間就完成大學第三年1st Term
整個學期可以用四個字來形容 – 漸入佳境

坦白說, 今年比頭兩年大學生涯舒服得多,
大部份最煩悶的courses 都完成了
3科Psyco 1科Biol 1科Option (最難最煩最低分都是Option)

自己越讀越喜歡腦科學, 特別是認知神經(Cognitive Neuroscience)這一範
認知(cognition)腦科學(Neuroscience)簡單點說就是將腦的運作和日常身活聯繫起來
認知工作範疇很廣, 最Practical 的包括記憶(Memory), 方向(Spatial Negivation), 語言(Language and linguistics), 執行決定(executive task), 感情情緒(Emotions)
又可以遠至腦部癡呆(Dementia), 失憶(Amnesia) 從而由各樣不同的病去更深入地了解我們的大腦結構

比個例子, 某些自閉症(Altrism)患者會被列為天才(Prodigy), 他們擁有比一般人優勝的特殊能力, 要知道自閉症患者缺少了Region X, 然而失去Region X, Region Y 便可以以加以支配整個大腦, 而能去更有效地運用腦中有限的資源 當然就不剩只Region X 和 Region Y, 事實上成千上萬不過的Site 都可能在互相影響, 一個Interaction 裡又有其他 interactions, interactions 裡又有更多高層管理
究竟可不可以構出一幅互動圖概括整個Function?
究竟普通altristic和Prodigies腦部結構有甚麼不同?
究竟可不可以制做一個儀器去更改腦裡的互動方式, 從而給予普通人特殊能力?

真的可以研究一世也找不到答案…

讀書方面就說完了
心靈方式比較軟弱
虛空? 也許可以這樣形容
很多事都不由我去決定
不是我一個人能去控制
我就是這種要有把柄有理據才去做事的人
可以說我是個缺乏信心的人吧…
不是自信, 而是對神對一切事物的信託信念

學士畢業後去向如何?
讀醫生讀牙醫讀碩士?
真的要問問祂

God Bless

Busy

Had been really busy with school.
2 more weeks till finals are done.

And shall memorti be alive again!
