Meta & Fysikken: Afsnit 91: FALSK FORSKNING!

Vi dykker ned i hvad i alverden dette er for noget! Det breder sig, gør det! Det kan vi jo ikke have!

Vi taler også om forskellige andre ting.


Her er Karina’s noter til dagens afsnit:


1: Falsk Forskning

Falsk forskning oversvømmer videnskabelige magasiner

Videnskabsmænd advarer om, at store mængder falsk forskning gør det sværere og sværere at lave ægte forskning.

Peer review is the evaluation of work by one or more people with similar competencies as the producers of the work (peers). It functions as a form of self-regulation by qualified members of a profession within the relevant field. Peer review methods are used to maintain quality standards, improve performance, and provide credibility. In academia, scholarly peer review is often used to determine an academic paper's suitability for publication.

2: Hvordan Publicering fungerer:

Write paper

Check with collaborators 

submit paper

Peer review *

Paper accepted or rejected 

comments on ways to improve 

paper published / printed

Who pays?

The peer review is done by other researchers for free. 

The one submitting has to pay a fee

To read the published paper you have to pay

Yes, it is insane. Journals get money and content without contributing any work.

2: Neurolink

Og en artikel da Neurolink fik lov til det:

(the guardian)

Elon Musk’s brain implant company is approved for human testing. How alarmed should we be? 

The billionaire’s record has raised concerns over Neuralink’s ability to responsibly oversee the development of such an invasive device

Elon Musk’s brain-implant company Neuralink last week received regulatory approval to conduct the first clinical trial of its experimental device in humans. But the billionaire executive’s bombastic promotion of the technology, his leadership record at other companies and animal welfare concerns relating to Neuralink experiments have raised alarm.

Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink approved for in-human study

“I was surprised,” said Laura Cabrera, a neuroethicist at Penn State’s Rock Ethics Institute about the decision by the US Food and Drug Administration to let the company go ahead with clinical trials.

Musk’s erratic leadership at Twitter and his “move fast” techie ethos raise questions about Neuralink’s ability to responsibly oversee the development of an invasive medical device capable of reading brain signals, Cabrera argued. “Is he going to see a brain implant device as something that requires not just extra regulation, but also ethical consideration?” she said. “Or will he just treat this like another gadget?”

6: Indre Monolog?

Inner monolouge etc. 

The 5 main ways of thinking:

  • Inner speaking/ inner monologue -  Ex. talking to yourself, hearing your voice or someone else or audibly recalling a phone number.

  • Inner seeing/ visual imagery - Thoughts with a visual symbol. Ex. picturing a memory or a place you wish you lived.

  • Feelings - A conscious experience of emotional process. Ex. feeling sad after the death of a loved one. 

  • Unsymbolized thinking - No word or image associated with thoughts. Ex. pouring your morning coffee without telling yourself to. 

  • Sensory awareness-  Paying attention to a sensory aspect of the environment for an unimportant reason. Ex. hearing someone talk but seeing the light reflecting off their glasses.
