How green are you?


Hi everybody!!!!
How are you? I hope you are fine like me :D

Today I will talk about  about the environment, the question of today is: How Green are you?
Well, I have to recognize that I`m not very Green, I mean, I have not incorporated the recycling into my habits, But I do another things that I think it could care the environment in some way, for example, I use a bike every day, I don´t like use another transportation, I dont like the bus or cars. When I can´t use my bike I prefer go on foot. I think that this is vey good for the environment because I can reduce the carbón footprint using a bike. Another important thing  is that I dont like use plastic bags, whe I go to the supermarket, I dont like that the people put me the things in 2 or 3 bags. It´s enough just with a bag.   
On the other hand I admit that I would like to do more things to be a Green girl, for example I would like recycle all the trash from my house like my boyfriend do and I would like to reduce the my consume of  plastic.
I never have joined to any eco-organization because I am not interesting in that, but  I´m agree with the things that they do. If you wanna know more about how care the environment, you could visit the page.

I think that Chile is not a country that care it´s environment very well, I think that the people who lives in Chile have to learn more about how we could be a Green person.  I include my self. But what do you think?    

Well, this is all for today
See you later!!!

Advanced Neuroscience

Hello my dear friends!! 


I dont Know if I´ve say yet, but, I am in my third year of psychology at the University of Chile. In this year I´ve had many entertaining clases but today I´m going to talk about my favorite class in the last semester.

Well, my favorite class is “advanced neuroscience” it is a really exciting class.
Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. The Advanced Neuroscience´s class it´s about neural correlate of behavioral and cognitive processes of the human.

I love this class for two reasons; First because I like see the psychology as a scientific discipline and for that I love all clases with information based on evidence and in the advanced neurosciencie´s class we always review many papers and then we discuss about it. The second reason about why neuroscience it´s my favorite class it´s because  I´ve found many infromation about how our brain works, about how our brain develops and changes over time. Even we could know the mechanism throughout the brain represent our world. 

I think that a Psychologist must know about this mechanism and about it´s function, in my profesional life I will have to diagnose some disorders or pathologies and for that I will have to Know what it´s fail in the brain of my patient. Of course not always a mental illnes have  neural correlate but the physiological abnormalities it´s the first problema that we have to reject.

The awareness and the artificial Intelligence


Hi everybody!!
Today I´m going to talk about an article that I think it is very interesting to my and my career.
The article is called “Philosophy will be the key that unlocks artificial intelligence”. Now I´m going to make a little summary about the article.

The human brain is an amazin thing and its capabilities are superior than any sistema of life in the earth. “The brain is the only kind of object capable of understanding that the cosmos is even there” But no brain on the earth is yet closet o Knowing what brains do in order to achieve any of that functionality. AGI (artificial general intelligence) is the company responsable to understanding this complexity.
It isn't too easy, there are some things that even in this days it is difficult to explain, for example, AGI have the ability to be aware of it self, this program has the ability to pass the "mirror test" of being able to use a mirror to infer facts about itself.  But the awareness is a complex concept, it is to difficult to explain. “For consciousness we have the problem of ambiguous terminology: the term has a huge range of meanings. At one end of the scale there is the philosophical problem of the nature of subjective sensations  which is intimately connected with the problem of AGI; but at the other end, "consciousness" is simply what we lose when we are put under general anaesthetic. Many animals certainly have that”.

Personally, I think that,  in part, the psychology has the blame for the “awareness” isn´t an operational concept because since many time the concept has been subject of numerous theorical manipulations. Independently of that, I think that we still can  vindicate through interdiciplinary work between neurosciencie, psychologus and engineering technology.

My Favorite Movie


Hi everyone!


Today I´m going to talk about my favorite movie. This subject it´s a little difficult to me because I dont have a favorithe movie, I have many movies that I love and today I woult to talk about all this movies.

First. I love Miyazaki´s movies, Miyazaki is a film director and animator of many lovely movies like “My Neighbor Totoro”, “Princess Mononoke”, Spirited Away”,
 Howl´s Moving Castel” and “Ponyo”. I love these movies because all of them have a very good story. Miyazaki´s Movies are animated films, full of magic and adorable characters. The stories are not complex or full of drama, the director have the ability to make a simple thing in a moving experience.




My second favorite films are the Christofen Nolan´s saga of BATMAN. The first was “Batman Begins”, this one wasn´t better than the next one, but it was a great begins. The Second one, “the dark knight” it was amazing, the performance of the characters was excelent and when I saw it for the first time in the cinema I really enjoyed it. And, the finale movie is “The dark Knight rises”, This movie is actually playing in the movie theather and it is the best, I dont know how explain it but when you really don´t  want that the saga ends it is because you really enjoy the movie.


 




Well, these was my favorite films, I have to say that I have so much more favorite films but i would to talk about it in another moment.

See you later!!!!
