Name of the student:

After observing abnormal brainwave patterns that correlate to chronic nerve pain, researchers developed an app to regulate the signals to normal. The results of pain relief were comparable to or greater than the alternative opioids. Most of the technology used was custom-built with feedback from participants. The research team hopes to expand its capabilities to treat chronic spinal pain.

Approach:

The team used biological approaches, observing the patients' brain waves with EEG systems and comparing them to those without neuropathic pain. After discovering that they all shared a common pattern, they developed an app that would monitor the participants' brainwaves and change the visuals shown on the app accordingly.

Reason:

The research team decided to investigate with a biological approach because the underlying reason and factor for the patients' condition (neuropathic pain) was biological (brainwaves).

Approach: Cognitive

Reason: The research correlates human-AI relationships to the previous studies of interpersonal dynamics concerning emotional attachment. Their self-report scale reveals the psychological tendencies of humans towards AI, hence being a cognitive approach.

Approach: Biological

Reason: The scientists deployed brain procedures to block the STING molecules from creating harmful inflammation and protect nearby neurons from damage and improve memory function in Alzheimer's model mice.

Approach: Biological

Reason: It is memory linked, especially in the process of remembering what you eat. Diet affects the structure and function of memory, which in turn affects memory ability. Balanced nutrition helps the brain function effectively. While an unscientific diet can harm the brain, impairing memory and learning ability.

description: human brains undergo actions that makes people think that they're hungry due to the 'meal engram' created by the brain. The 'meal engram' are specialized in storing data of the experience of consumption, which helps with human study and for them to explore the reason of 'human eating disorder', or more other neurological / psychological recovery. The research team used advanced technology to observe the behaviors of the lab rats as they eat their food, which they have found out that the meal memory neuron communicates with a brain region. The hunger and eating behavior region of the brain was blocked, so the lab rats overate and forgot where the meals were eaten.

approaches:

-mainly biological and strongly cognitive

-adequate in social-cultural

reason:

• my reason is that is a biological scientific experiment that was held to study how the neurons transmit information to the brain. This helps the researchers to improve or maybe find a way to solve problems in the current lives since this is the period of technology. For cognitive, i think that it also relates since its about the mental action that requires processing, which the experiment is strongly leaning to that side. I think it does not relate to social culture much because it could it relates to society and culture.

effects of caffeine on brain is more powerful to young people than order people because young has higher density of adenosine receptors.

*Adenosine: a molecule that gradually accumulates in the brain throughout the day, causing a feeling of fatigue.

Biological approach

reason: caffeine physically upgrade fuction of brain
