“The words of language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The psychical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images which can be “voluntarily” reproduced and combined. The above mentioned elements are, in my case, of visual and some of muscular type.”
(Einstein quoted in Hadamard, 1996, The mathematician's mind: The psychology of invention in the mathematical field. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press (original work published 1945), as cited in Diezmann, C. M., & Watters, J. J. (2000). Identifying and supporting spatial intelligence in young children. Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood. 1(3), 299-313).

An interesting and innovative proposal is to use blockchain technologies (usually associated with digital crypto currencies like, for instance, Bitcoin or Ethereum) to counteract the replication crisis, to validate empirical findings, and to improve and optimize the scientific procedure on a large scale (Bartling & Fecher, 2016). The authors suggest that “Blockchain could strengthen science's verification process, helping to make more research results reproducible, true, and useful” (Bartling & Fecher, 2016, p. 1). Even though this proposal might seem unrealistic or overstated to those unfamiliar with blockchain technologies, we think that this is indeed an excellent innovative and creative proposal because blockchain technologies can be used in all situations which require (...)

The fusiform face area (FFA) is a region of the human brain, located in the fusiform gyrus of the temporal lobe. It is primarily associated with the processing and recognition of faces.
Research using techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has consistently shown increased activity in the fusiform face area when individuals are presented with images of faces compared to other objects or stimuli. This specialization suggests that the FFA plays a critical role in the neural circuitry underlying face perception.
While the exact mechanisms of how the FFA processes facial information are not fully understood, it is believed to be involved in various aspects of face processing, including holistic face perception (viewing faces as integrated wholes rather than (...)

A strip of wet cloth, four angulas wide (3") and fifteen hands (1¼ metres) in length, is stoutly swallowed and, then taken out, as instructed by the guru. This is known as dhauti.
~ Hatha Yoga Pradipika 2.24
Escherichia coli, one of the many species of bacteria present in the human gut.
Vastra is Sanskrit for "cloth" and dhauti means "washing". It is a yogic technique designed to cleanse the inner body, specifically the GI tract. It is one of several types of purifying dhauti methods in which a long strip of cotton cloth is ingested and then pulled out to cleans and detoxify the intestines. Given the fact that our environments contain countless (chemical) toxins which are responsible for various "pathologies of civilisation" it is important to explore and practice methods to detoxify (...)
