Quotes About Activation

even when you negate a frame, you activate the frame.
~ George Lakoff
Neuroscientists have discovered a brain overlap, too, between imagining and doing. Many of the same neural regions are activated when we form mental images as when we actually see.
~ George Lakoff
All of the devices work out of the box without any subscription fee.
~ David Rose
The biggest threat to the Internet is, frankly, always going to be complacency. I want to see more and more of us activated and people thinking of themselves as defenders of it.
~ Alexis Ohanian
The working of the central nervous system is a hierarchic affair in which functions at the higher levels do not deal directly with the ultimate structural units, such as neurons or motor units, but operate by activating lower patterns that have their own relatively autonomous structural unity.
~ Arthur Koestler
To demonstrate validated learning, the design changes must improve the activation rate of new customers. If they do not, the new design should be judged a failure.
~ Eric Ries
The background events in the soul are projected outwards and are experienced through the object, as a synthetic unity compounded of external reality and the psychic activation of this reality.
~ Erich Neumann
Fear is what activates your tools; your jab, your movement, your speed, your ability to absorb punishment.
~ Chris Eubank Sr.
The overall picture that has emerged from the study of the compassionate brain is that there is no empathy center with empathy neurons, but complex patterns of activation and modulation that depend on perceivers' interpretation of the straits of another person and the nature of their relationship with the person.
~ Steven Pinker
In order for extinction to reduce the ability of a Pavlovian CS to elicit defense responses, the amygdala's control over these responses has to be changed. Key to this process is the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (PFCVM) and its ability to regulate the amygdala-housed circuits that store the CS-US memory, which when activated results in the expression of defense responses. The
~ Joseph LeDoux
The window during which a memory could be disrupted was four to six hours from the time it was acquired; after that, it became stable and persistent. This led to the standard view that a memory is stored once; then each time some stimulus appears that is relevant to it, the original memory is activated and expressed.
~ Joseph LeDoux
I think the purpose of a piece of music is significant when it actually lives in somebody else. A composer puts down a code, and a performer can activate the code in somebody else. Once it lives in somebody else, it can live in others as well.
~ Yo-Yo Ma
Many transition states have a well-defined preferred geometrical requirement.
~ Derek Harold Richard Barton
Trump's memory needed a trigger—something on his desk or something he read in the newspaper or saw on television. Or Peter Navarro sneaking into the Oval Office again. Without something or someone activating him, it might be hours or days or even weeks before he would think, Wait, we're going to withdraw from that, why didn't we do that? Without a trigger, it conceivably might never happen.
~ Bob Woodward
Cancer essentially lives in us and becomes activated at some point, and then cells begin to psychotically divide. Initially, the cancer cell looks like other cells and the body invites it in.
~ Eve Ensler
Neuroimaging studies indicate that imitating people of one's own gender activates reward centers in the brain, whereas imitating people of the opposite gender does not. This doesn't necessarily mean that the brain is in charge, because it too reacts to the environment. But it does suggest that evolution has equipped our young with a feel-good bias to conform to their gender.
~ Frans de Waal
The highest form of medicine is the simplest and most honest activation of the placebo effect via self-induction.
~ Brandon A. Trean
First, you arrive at training, prepare for the session, I get treatment from the physios and go straight to the gym to activate the body.
~ Raphael Varane
Gain is a parameter in neural network modeling, which influences the probability that a neuron fires at a given activation level. Single cell recordings in non-human primates have shown that the likelihood of a neuron firing, given a constant sensory input, is enhanced when the stimulus dimension that is preferentially processed by the neuron is attended to.11
~ Stephen Harrod Buhner
By mentally activating the power source, you can grab lightsabers from across the room with today's technology.
~ Michio Kaku
For example, all of us talk to ourselves silently. When we do, the left brain, which controls language, consults the prefrontal cortex. But in schizophrenics, we now know, the left brain activates without permission from the prefrontal cortex
~ Michio Kaku
Thus, an inhibition center developed below what in humans is the temporal lobe, to turn off much of the functioning of the reptilian brain; and an activation center evolved in the pons to turn on the R-complex, but harmlessly, during sleep.
~ Carl Sagan
Nudges and network effects often work because they tap into underlying norms and values—such as duty, respect and care—and those values can be activated directly.
~ Kate Raworth
Through moderate, predictable challenges our stress response systems are activated moderately. This makes for a resilient, flexible stress response capacity. The stronger stress response system in the present is the one that has had moderate, patterned stress in the past.
~ Bruce D. Perry
