The main concept is to centralize the flow of information into one or two sites. For me, these are GMail and Google Reader. It means I can control anything I’m interested in by visiting these places online. How to keep up with Twitter? I follow more than 1000 users and have more than 1500 followers, so I receive thousands of tweets every day. Here are a few things that save me time and effort. I use Tweetdeck and created several groups on Tweetdeck that let me filter useful information (e.g. Health 2.0, genetics, bloggers groups, etc.). I check Friend...

I thought I should add my suggestions to the useful list: Blog and blog often. Be patient. I had 15 readers a day in December, 2006. Now I have 1-1500 visitors a day. It takes time and effort (I wrote almost 1000 posts in 2 years). Have your own website, even if you are part of a group. Create a LinkedIn profile and manage your blog properly (e.g. construct a nice about me page). Link your blog and website. Google loves self-linkage… Build your page rank professionally. Publish articles, such as review articles, in medical journals and periodicals. Summerize your ideas in Google Docs and collect your favourite links on Del.icio.us so it will be much easier to write a prope...

Labmeeting will be the first service I plan to use actively. Why? Upload research articles Automatically match them to bibliographic records for reference management Search the full text of all your PDFs Mark them for fast retrieval and viewing Recommend them to your colleagues Browse different streams of new papers Stay up to date on what’s in the top journals Get notified about papers relevant to your research Collect the articles that interest you Manage a lab webspace Post articles for journal club Share protocols and data in a group notebook Ask questions, give answers, and schedule e...

That’s why it’s so important to be efficient while being online. And the best tool in our hands is RescueTime. understand how you’re spending your time clobber procrastination & beat interruption overload compare your productivity to your peers without giving up your privacy Give it a try and let me know your feedback.

According to Wikipedia: The term life hack refers to productivity tricks that programmers devise and employ to cut through information overload and organize their data.

A few implications to ponder: - First, how do we prevent other people from selling us stuff that only works based on the placebo effect? the therapeutic value is in us, not in the stuff. - Once we decide to do something, shouldn't we try to "placebo" ourselves in order to get the most of it? we may not control how our beliefs affect us, but, can we manage our beliefs? belief, ETech, hack our minds, medicines, Mind Hacks, placebo, Placebo Effect, sugar pill, suggestion, therapeutic effect (Source: SharpBrains) SharpBrains blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1284996 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 07:49:43 +0100 1284996 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1280718&cid=t_139304_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2008%2F03%2F05%2Fhack-your-brain-sure%2F Although brain hacking has been going on for nearly two decades, the folks over at Network World magazine thinks it’s some kind of “new” phenomenon. Describing experiments done on monkeys and the manipulation of video games, the reporter apparently is unaware of a little something called EEG neurofeedback. Neurofeedback has been used to treat psychiatric disorders since the early 1990s (I know first-hand, because I was involved in neurofeedback training as a grad student). Neurofeedback is a researched and proven technique for allowing people to “train their brains” to reduce common symptoms of many psychiatric disorders. Most of the research and heavy lifting with this technique has been done with ADHD, but it’s also been researched and shown to work w...

The above description equals “recovery from autism,” in the words of two parents I recently encountered. This “recovery” was attributed strictly to biomedical methods including various intravenous treatments, injections, detoxifying processes, and so forth. (Whether or not the child was receiving any educational services—if not ABA,perhaps speech therapy—-or occupational therapy to address sensory processing needs—or assistance with social skills, was not mentioned.) Many questions enter my mind on hearing of this as a definition of “recovery from a...
