So ........ posting on r.a.h. and flying airplanes decreases sexual

Rich "I'm outa here" S.

Only, Rich, if you hadn't been using part of your brain for those
other functions.

Tina .........

Looking at the use ratio from a male standpoint, my wife maintains that I do
not, nor have I ever, used my brain before, during or after sexual activity.
Only since I turned 65 has she said, "It's all in my head". Conclusion: In
my case I can post and fly all I want.

Rich "Mem'ries" S.

As a shrink, Rich, I can tell you with certainty that it need not be
all in your head at 65. How can I make that observation aviation
related? Ah, got it. Like flying, it's 90% mental, and the other 10%
is in your head.

Oh, dear. I hope we're not going to end up as the subject of some monograph.

Personality Traits Displayed through 'At a Distance' Communication"

Points to you, John!

Did your research protocol gain approval from a duly convened
Institutional Review Board? And how would you get informed consent
from some of the members of this newsgroup? Even more bothersome would
be getting consent from a subject with diminished capacity who lives
in France.

dibs on coauthor status, by the way.

Thenk yew.

Well, since playing in any Internet group arguably is tantamount to
self-institutionalization of the participants, I figure that collectively we
constitute the Committee of the Whole of the Institutional Review Board.

And how would you get informed consent
from some of the members of this newsgroup?

The part about a participant being "informed" already has proven to be extremly
problematic for some posters.

Even more bothersome would
be getting consent from a subject with diminished capacity who lives
in France.

We'll just tell him it's a petition to award the Legion d'honneur to Jerry Lewis.

dibs on coauthor status, by the way.

You got it!

OK, Principal Investigator, wanna tell me about who's funding this?
National Enquirer? Playboy?

MSFS?

It would actually be a good thing, if some of your colleagues and you got
together, and tried to figure him out, and could get him help.

Perhaps if he got better, he would not be such a pain in the arse.

Actually, that might even fly, with MSFS.

The big casinos and gambling establishments all belong to some group that
they give millions of dollars to, so that people that lose control and
display behaviors of a gambling addiction can get help, right?

If they can do that, then perhaps Microsoft could put some money up for
helping with a gaming addiction, and the other behaviors that are surely a
sign of other problems, ya think?

OK, John, contact Microsoft and get the funding arranged ! g

I'm good but I'm not a miracle worker!

The betting line in Vegas on that is 800:1 against.

There is quite a lot of evidence that repeated mental processes do in
fact modify the physical brain. Bagley's book "Train Your Mind, Change
Your Brain", is worth glacing thru if you find the professional
literature boring.

Also learning grows new connections
The mind like muscles benefits from exercise. Mental exercise that is.

If you lose a function such as walking, it is possible for the brain
to make new connections.


If a person's mental activity is largely devoted to playing a
simulator game and posting on the net, one can be sure other underused
parts of the brain begin getting used to support those activiites. If
you pilot an airplane often, the process becomes 'easier' because
there's actually more brain devoted to it. Some other underused
activity will be less supported.

Researchers are always on the lookout for subjects who spend much of
their time in unusual ways, so that their brain functions can be
mapped with some of the newer imaging methodologies.

Anthony, I have this infromed consent document here I'd like you to
read. After you sign it we're going to stick your head in this fNMR
brain bloodflow imaging device. . . . .

Just the thing for any one who is remotely claustrophobic.:-))
It helps you work on your concentration.

Hey guys, don't laugh. It may sound funny, but we do that kind of
stuff every day. And there are many many safeguards to protect all of
our subjects, so don't start thinking after the process someone like
Anthony after being subjected to intense magnetic fields will only
walk north or something.

I never knew magnetic fields could be so loud.
For the un-initiated, they stick you into this big machine with just
your feet sticking out and the base is about a 1/4 inch from the end
of your nose. And...that is in what they call the "open" machine.

After my left leg and hand quit working they stuck me in one of these.
Then after all that they told me it was "all in my head".
