Three articles (where comments are allowed - and as you'd expect interesting):
The Difference Between Men and Womens Brains Revealed?
larry summers figured this out twenty years ago. and he didn’t need a study.
Now we need a study of the differences between the liberal brain and the human.
Short-circuits, probably.
Uh huh, Uh huh. IOW, if your wife tells you "No, it wasn't there it was at the other place," or "No, it wasn't him, it was his brother", etc. etc. ... JUST FORGET IT!
My wife gives me crap because I’m such a terrible multi-tasker lol. She never forgets when bills are due, who needs a Christmas present, what groceries we need, who’s birthday is coming up, how much we can spend etc. She’s extremely intelligent, but give her the task of putting my son’s lego set back together and you’d think I was asking her to do quantum mechanics. ;-)
First off, thanks for posting this
Second, the problem with an article like this is that it says nothing about what the actual experiments were and the actual findings were. This is narrative story speculation of potential implications or understandings of the results of these experiments, not a description of the experiment itself and the actual experimental results — except for one sentence almost buried in the article.
For example, “ones” are big cool buzzwords now, but not necessarily meaningful in the manners they are often used. This article should describe how they are defining the “connectome” and the scientific methods they used to assess the connections etc...
As written, so many of these press release articles from university PR departments are modern just so stories and the interesting hard science is hardly touched upon.
I seem to remember a bunch of women that couldn’t see any evidence that O.J. Simpson committed double homicide.
What kind of brain is that?
A study was needed for this?
I suspect that either their technology was not up to the task or they are not looking in the right places.
Anyone who have observed children at play can tell you that their behaviors and how they choose to play are markedly different.
And I certainly believe that the architecture of the brain for the most part drives behavior particularly in the very young.
From the earliest age of children it is easy to observe the differences in the way boys and girls behave.
But it was a group of women who got GZ off, no? Although I’m too young to really know the particulars off the top of my head, wasn’t the jury comprised of mostly blacks? Plus, if you factor in that OJ is famous and that the case took place in CA, you have your answer.
One of the strongest, most obvious differences I have found between the sexes is the sense of compass direction. Almost any woman couldn’t point out west at sunset.
Is it just me, or does David Addison’s facial features look very much like Bruce Willis?
Also want to say thanks to the OP of this thread (sorry, but I don’t recall the name right now). Very interesting.
I guess that multi-tasking comes in real handy when deciding who to vote for, say Bill Clinton and Barack Obama...
>>One of the strongest, most obvious differences I have found between the sexes is the sense of compass direction. Almost any woman couldnt point out west at sunset.
For my wife, “north” is always the direction she is currently facing.
Don’t generalize.
I have an excellent sense of direction and have known many men who don’t and won’t admit it.
According to the little map in my head, I am currently facing NW.
:)
I used to have a decent sense of direction but then I married a woman with an excellent sense of one I stopped cluttering my brain with that stuff about 50 years ago. These days, I couldn't find my way out of a paper bag without asking my wife.
Well, if this study has validity, they can now test an equal number of people who describe themselves as homosexuals and see what each of their brains looks like as compared with the preponderance of the brains of the people born with their gender. This could either support or debunk the homosexual lobby claim that homosexuals were meant to be the opposite gender.
