1d. First Day at the Lab - Outliers

Name: Ren

Day: 1

Funds: $ 100

Today is my first day working at Ar Leith Labs - I can't believe I finally landed a job!

To be honest, I didn't look too deeply into what they do at Ar Leith Labs - I basically sent my curriculum to every neuroscience research lab that was hiring. Now that I'm here, I can't even find a pamphlet explaining the research in detail.

Ok, I'll be professional and go introduce myself to my coworkers now; either them or the PI can tell me more about the job.

---

There are only two other research assistants in my group: Leanne and Perry; neither of them seems to be the chatty type, at least not with me. I was looking forward to meeting my PI, but Leanne told me that she has never shown her face around here.

Right then we heard the PI speak; it felt as if she was standing right next to us. This lab must have a pretty technologically advanced speaker system!

The PI's voice welcomed me and introduced herself as C.N, just her initials; she invited me to get acquainted with the lab environment, and help my coworkers out with anything they might need.

I found it a little odd that she's not meeting us in person, but maybe there's an excellent reason for it. I don't want to pry, especially not on my first day.

Nobody was available to give me a tour - lots of work to do, which is fair - so I walked around the lab by myself, studying the equipment. I didn't recognize any of the machines, except for the obvious desktop computer in the corner. That one even looks a little old, in contrast with the rest of the devices.

Leanne noticed me looking at the computer and asked if I know how to code; heck yeah I do, I took a few classes and I'm pretty ok at it! So she asked me to write a bit of code to generate graph data for her latest research data. It's strange that they don't have software for that already, but I decided to avoid asking any questions.

I took this opportunity to look over the data, hoping it would clarify what kind of research we're supposed to do here, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Oh, well.

I couldn't recognize the OS the computer is running either, but it seemed loosely based on Unix. I was making good progress until I started testing my code; I got the error "Unable to find or open '/Brain/TemporalLobe/Hippocampus/MISTAKE.png'". I'm 100% sure I never referenced this file, and what a bizarre name!

I immediately thought this must be a prank - Leanne and Perry must have planned this as a funny welcome for me. I resolved to laugh and tell them it was a cool prank; that would show them I'm chill.

Unfortunately, they kept insisting they didn't know what I was talking about. They looked annoyed, so I assume they were being truthful. Alright, time to debug.

A quick search of the codebase and external libraries for the file path in the error message yielded no results. I tried looking just for "Mistake.png" and got nothing once again.

Interestingly enough, though, "Ren/Brain/" exists, except there's only a "temp" folder in there. Maybe I don't have the right access levels to see other folders? There doesn't seem to be a root user either.

I bothered Leanne and Perry to see whether they have access to the other folders - they don't, but they have their own users on this machine, with their own "/Brain/" folders. Also, my code wasn't available to them. They said the users were already set up for them when they joined, just like mine; IT support must be incredible around here.

In the end I decided to share the code with Leanne's user, in the off chance it would work for her. It did, just like I hoped, and Leanne got her graph.

I don't fully understand, but... great. Maybe I should talk to the IT support people, or take a few more coding classes.

---

The rest of the day was spent on boring menial tasks.

I bet my coworkers think I'm more trouble than I'm helpful, but hey - they'll change their minds, soon enough. After all, I didn't graduate top of my class just to be ignored at my job.

Luckily, at least C.N. already sees potential in me: before I left for the day, she said tomorrow I'll be tabling at an event called "The Gathering"! My first table, and on day 2? I can't wait!

I forgot to ask for the address, but I bet I can find all the info I need online. I'm obviously being tested, and I will show initiative, dependability, and bring a ton of new participants for the study!

Sorry, another epilepsy post

There have been many of these posts lately, but I have recently gone through something that feels like a personality change and it has got me ruminating over life and why I am like I am. I guess I am hoping for other people with temporallobe epilepsy, focal awareness seizures & absences to read this and maybe relate. Cause to anyone else reading this, it will probably seem like I have taken about 394 different drugs. It is so... weird

I am probably alone in this, but on the one side I hate my seizures and I want them to disappear, they make me naseous, they have obliterated my memory and ruined so much through out my whole life. Usually I just want them to pass as quickly as possible during them cause they are so weird, but sometimes I get excited during one

Like, giddy. Especially when people are talking around me. Because I am just fascinated by the emotions that their conversations invoke in me. That deja vu is so incredible. It is impossible to describe to someone who haven't had one, but it is like what they are saying, is dialogue from a book that I read in another life and have almost forgotten. The feeling is absolutely overwhelming, and often a seizure culminates in me dry heaving to the point of someone quickly fetching a trash can or bag and putting it in front of me

And the 'brain nausea' as I sometimes call it, cause there is no other way for me to describe it, feels like being transported into another dimension. During a seizure I am not really in this world, I feel like I am between worlds and just observing what is going on around me.

"Trying to remember" "I have to try to remember" remember what? The thought that I HAVE to remember, the thought that doesn't exist but still, during every seizure I am absolutely convinced that it does. It is amazing how the brain keeps fooling me, and how it will keep fooling me. If I could describe my seizures in one phrase it would be: searching for a forgotten dream

It sounds fake deep and ridiculous, but it is exactly what it's like

I need to write my thoughts sometimes hehe

It’s been ages since I posted, I even forgot I had an account. This picture though, with me on it, is here to illustrate how things can change. I have had years of problems related to epilepsy and the medication I got for it. Last November I had brainsurgery, the removed the left-temporal-lobe, and two other smaller bits (related to Hippocampus and Amygdala). Ever since losing the epilepsy because of it, and despite still being numbed down by the med’s, i have rediscovered a lot of aspects about myself, including creative sides.

No matter what happens in life, there are always things in which you can keep groing, things that you never thought would happen, turns you never expect to take. Never let go of the prospects of tommorow, despite the being of today. I very well know the feeling of living for no good reason, and only seeing Hell in tommorow. But things always improve in the end.

Epilepsimin temporali.

Hemde sol şakakta. 5 ay önce var olduğunu öğrendiğim beynimin sol şakağında ki ani elektriksel boşalma yüklenme gibi bir şey. Normal değil yani. 40′dan fazla türden biri sadece benimki.

Neden böyle hissediyorum derdim, farklı, başka. Başkalarına anlatınca bu hisleri bana olan bakışları görebiliyordum. Hoş son zamanlarda umursamıyordum orası ayrı.

Edgar Allan Poe ,Dostoyevski, Levis Carroll’dan tut da bir çok normal olmayan ama mükemmel eserlere sahip olan kişinin buna sahip olduğunu düşününce azıcık rahatlar gibi oldum.

Doktor bana şanslı bir hastalığa sahip olduğunu söyledi.

Hadi oradan be! Gel de bir de bana sor! Yaşadığım o ani korku nöbetlerini, ani ışıkta içime gelen baygınlık hissini, uykudayken yaşadığım dairesel baş dönmelerini ve titremelerini, aman siktir et tekrar uyu deyip kafamı her yastığa koyuşum da ki uyandırmalarını saymazsak şanslıyım derdim herhalde kendime.

Riski fırsata çevireceğim. Sabırlı olup direnip dayatırsam kendime, yazacağım ufakta olsa öyküler.

#4biddenknowledge ・・・ The external features of the #brain best seen on its #Ventral surface are shown. Extending along the inferior surface of the frontal lobe near the midline are the #olfactory tracts(Smell), which arise from enlargements at their anterior ends called the olfactory bulbs. The olfactory bulbs receive input from neurons in the epithelial lining of the nasal cavity whose axons make up the first #cranial nerve (cranial nerve I is therefore called the olfactory nerve. On the ventromedial surface of the #TemporalLobe, the parahippocampal gyrus conceals the #hippocampus, a highly convoluted cortical structure that figures importantly in memory. Slightly more medial to the #parahippocampal gyrus is the uncus, a slightly conical protrusion that includes the pyriform cortex. The pyriform cortex is the target of the lateral olfactory tractand processes olfactory information. At the most central aspect of the ventral surface of theforebrain is the optic chiasm, and immediately posterior, the ventral surface of thehypothalamus, including the infundibular stalk(the base of pituitary gland) and the mammillary bodies. Posterior to the hypothalamus are two large tracts, oriented roughly rostral/caudally, called the cerebral peduncles. These tracts contain axons from the cerebral hemispheres that project to the #MotorNeurons in the brainstem and into the lateral and ventral columns of the spinal cord. Finally, the ventral surfaces of the pons, medulla, and cerebellar hemispheres can be seen on the ventral surface of the brain. #Davinci rediscovered what the ancients already knew about the human anatomy. That's #4biddenknowledge

Today was a rough reading day. After ECT I began having trouble reading from comprehension to reading aloud. But some days I just can't EVEN and this was one of them. Very frustrating but will get back on this horse tomorrow... #ect #temporallobe #lookleftwalkgreen #illiteracy #readingissues

Day 18 of the March Instagram challenge - 'daily' I have epilepsy. Every day I take a cocktail of medicines to control the seizures. They work and I can now drive and live a relatively peaceful life...except, with epilepsy, you can never take your health for granted. My prescription now affects my digestion and I have to counteract that with another pill. Epilepsy caused occasional bouts of aphasia too. Losing your words is inconvenient for a writer. And my senses of smell and taste can change giving foods a metallic edge. However, that is nothing in comparison to the dulling of my brain that I can sense all the time. The drugs are designed to slow the extra electrical impulses that my brain produces. Sadly that spark is gone and it sometimes feels like the light has gone out too. #fmsphotoaday #fmspad #fmsmarch #fms_daily #daily #quotidien #lequotidien #epilepsy #ihaveepilepsy #electricalimpulses #frontallobe #temporallobe #SophiesVoiceBlog #sophiesvoice
