@goosehd my daughter was just accepted to U of G for the neuroscience program, she’s starting in September!

@Brandrea Congratulations to you and your daughter! I love all of the schools in the area (Waterloo and Guelph) and have always been impressed with their programs.
Is she going to be commuting or staying in/around campus? I can only imagine the costs of housing in the area since it has become a bedroom community for Toronto.
Often considered going back for furthering my education, but have felt like an old dog and kept putting it off and at this stage in life would only be doing it for personal interests.

@Mizmazzle thank you very much! It’ll be hard to see her go off to live on her own, but yes, very proud!
-
@goosehd thanks alot! She’s going to live in campus first year. We believe strongly that it’s part of her growth experience and where she’ll end up meeting lots of people (and maybe life long friends). It’s bitter sweet in a way … happy for her beyond words, but also it will be hard to see her move off.

@Brandrea Thanks!
And congrats to your daughter on being accepted to do neuroscience. I find that stuff fascinating (from a layman's level). I was listening to a podcast the other day about how we perceive reality and apparently there are 10 times as many neurones feeding back to the visual cortex from the frontal lobes. This neuroscientist was explaining how they now think that the brain perceives our surroundings based on Bayesian inference done by the frontal lobes, rather than by directly perceiving reality.
The example he gave was if you were walking down the street on a foggy day and a lion started to come out of the gloom, you would initially perceive a dog instead. Your visual cortex would receive the sense-data of 'lion' but - assuming you had never seen a lion wandering down the sidewalk in a residential area before - the frontal lobes would most likely respond "no, there are no lions in our neighbourhood, it must be a dog" and until the point at which the lion became clear enough to override your Bayesian priors vis-a-vis the statistical unlikelihood of a lion being on your street, your conscious mind would literally perceive a dog.
Anyway, I found it interesting to think about...

@goosehd I think this is the right spot in the podcast:
