What do you do for your brain, /sci/? Do you have any theories or general ideas about maximizing human cognition? Discuss your general views, dispense whatever wisdom and knowledge you wish to share, ask questions and be ready for the inevitable /pol/ shitposts.
>Mental exercise
Mathematics, playing instruments/writing music, strategy games/chess, meditation, reading, programming, visualization, learning languages, etc.. What do you do and why? How does it affect your cognition? Do you have a routine?
>Lifestyle
Physical exercise, diet (do you even artichoke?), sleep routine, daily organization (do you follow a routine or your intuition, are you chaotic or organized?), effects of (intermittent) fasting, interior decoration (cluttered or organized, lots of plants or few plants, clean house/dirty house), etc.
>Nootropics
Modafinil, alpha GPC, phenibut, noopept, LSD, lion's mane, citicoline, huperzine A, MCT oil, the list goes on and on and on. There are hundreds of supplements and drugs out there that help you get the most out of your mind. Do you use any? Do you have a stack? Do you prefer nootropics that improve things like neurogenesis and connectivity (long-term), or direct cognitive performance enhancers (short-term)?
>General Neuroscience discussion
Neuroplasticity, important brain regions for problem-solving and decision-making, the trade-offs of multi-tasking, flow states, consciousness as a bottleneck for information, latest research, stress reduction techniques, effects of mindfulness, etc.
