Snake's tongue has two sensitive tips, called tines, which help the snake smell in stereo.

Mudskippers are another great example, here is a video about them by Stated Clearly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meKZQfwW6K0

I'll have to mention Igorrr because nobody did, which is strange.

Linguistics professor Daniel Everett explains the idea of "xibipiio," a way of life he encountered while studying the language of the Amazonian Piraha tribe. Everett, a former Christian missionary, was challenged to rethink his faith after learning the Piraha's concept of experiential liminality.

Anybody knows about any other language-related "brain malfunctions"?

A stroke survivor with fluent aphasia speaking with effortless speech but impaired meaning and poor comprehension.

On the other end, people with expressive aphasia struggle with language use but understand speech normally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aplTvEQ6ew

After the right and left brain are separated, each hemisphere will have its own separate perception, concepts, and impulses to act. Having two "brains" in one body can create some interesting dilemmas.

ScienceClic is an excellent #physics channel with visual explanations.

Imagine something like chatgpt running on a small efficient analog chip, a synthetic brain.

Analog Computing (www.youtube.com)

An analog computer uses the continuous variation aspect of physical phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities (analog signals) to model the problem being solved.

The many-worlds interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that asserts that the universal wavefunction is objectively real, and that there is no wave function collapse.
This implies that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in some "world" or universe.

and here we are, each of us a tiny blip of the universe perplexed by it all, only to be gone in the next moment

No worries.
Do link the research you mentioned if handy.

Indeed! Imagine what could be possible now or in another 10 years :D
I am trying to boot up this community, so I am sometimes posting even the older interesting videos I remember (until people start posting more frequently).
The video by The Thought Emporium is more recent.

[–] notx@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's not only the posts, the community itself isn't visible,
but it seems they are slowly catching up (lemmy.ml can see it now)

[–] notx@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

hmm I tried it on lemmy.world and it worked: https://lemmy.world/c/brainfood@kbin.social
Probably just a temporary issue

edit: it seems that feddit.de didn't fetch it yet

edit2: it isn't fetched on lemmy.ml and beehaw.org either, strange
