CogitOn is a space for scientists and science-enthusiasts to get inspired and examine scientific information in a light-hearted, engaging, and collaborative way. See more about us on "Mission"
It can be difficult to tell what information is real and what is fake, especially with the rise of AI-generated news and science content and clickbait marketing tactics. We present a few examples for you to read and decide whether the information is real or not real, underlining the importance of reading thoroughly about a topic before believing the first thing you hear!

It would be Grand
it would be swell

This “poem” reflects my project regarding the interruptive effect of electrical pain, administered either on the head or the back, on memory. The aim is to explore how it relates to resting-state signatures, and whether it can differentiate chronic migraine and chronic back pain patient populations from healthy controls.
