It is Monday; I was excited to start the week..
I wanted to start working..
I did not have a decision by the morning, but I did not have to since I am going to listen to the lab's director first in his presentation today..
The first hour, I did not have anything really to do..
Then it was the presentation time..
I got the chance to learn about brain imaging and research on brain imaging..
I also learned little bit about clinical trials that use brain imaging..
It was an interesting, informative presentation..
However, he talked about the concept of false memory, and put me away..
It took my mind, and made me confused..
I wonder if I ever have any false memories, and take them into real life..
One of the research articles I had to read, as a case study, was about a girl who said her father abused her as a child..
She went to court, but then it turned out her claims were false memories..
The other article I read was something similar to that..
On the other hand, I did read better articles, where the opposite happened..
Brain sciences are amazing, but might not be that good in the future..
I can see machines fixed on our heads in interviews just so they can know if someone is lying or not..
I am not sure where studying the brain activity is going to take us..
I guess we will see in about 20 years..
After reading the articles, and after lunch time, I decided to be myself, who works too much in a short time, so I asked for a task even though I still did not decide what I wanted to do..
I ended up doing something similar to what I wanted to do initially..
Clinical trails research, where I got to read about the protocol of most of them, till I got tired, organized them, and putting data together..
The director of the lab asked me if I decided, and I had not by that time, so I told him that I will let him know by the end of the day..
Half an hour before the end of the day, I decided..
I am going to do both, clinical imaging research, and clinical trail research..
I am going to do 4 days of clinical imaging just because there is SO much to learn and grow from, and one day with clinical trial because I think there is not that much to learn..
In addition to that, I am going to spend 8 hours every week with the clinical trails; that is if they accept me..
Of course, I have to write a letter, which I did later after I came home..
On the way back from work, I realized that I never put any pictures of my work space..
So I decided to take pictures, and post them here :)
The rest of the day was boring routine: dinner, talking to my friend Brittney, some work, and sleep late at night!
