NEW with @tomhannen: We’ve designed a new chart: an animated story of the outbreak in England & Wales, tracking how cases in local areas have risen and fallen from March to today. Here’s a preview, but you can see the full version (free to view 😀) here: ft.com/video/e38ebc44-c99a-4…

We’re working hard to develop a vaccine against #Covid-19. Today we’re recruiting individuals to take part in clinical trials. This is a crucial step. We need healthy volunteers aged 18 – 55, to help test its potential effectiveness. Volunteer today >> bit.ly/CovVaccine

“What I am proposing is a predictive processing model of pain… each level of the system is predicting what is happening at the level below, receiving info from it and using that info to update its predictions.” ~ Mike Thacker @dibbygibby csp.org.uk/news/2018/01/30/p…

A predictive model for pain processing certainly seems consistent with how other perception works, e.g. vision is very predictive, not so much "taking it all in" as "seeing what we expect to see + spot checks for consistency."

Optimal load? ...In reality the clinician is happy to achieve a “Sloptimal load” which I define as “a dosage sufficient to elicit the majority of the desired effects without wrecking the individual.” instagram.com/p/Bdi23viBDT3/
