for the brain to sweat
What is it you do to train that is comparable to a pianist practicing scales?
i’ve not been practicing my scales of late.
getting dognosis off the ground was a lot of meta-level play. figuring out on the fly how to go about getting to a place where I could then actually, you know, do the thing i wanted to do from the get-go.
not that i always knew in entirety what i wanted to do.
but still, even the specific first steps of designing high comfort good SNR wearable canine BCIs to record brain data from biomedical detection dogs during olfactory events. getting to a place where i can even properly, in all fairness, explore the implications of asking that question, that has taken almost 3 years.
but now to truly do justice to this question, i must go back and hear the bell, turn on the lamp, grab the chalk, crack thy knuckles, and truly deeply attune to what it means to ask the question - how do we decipher the mind of another species?
