An accessible and gratifying introduction to the world of paranormal beliefs and bizarre experiences.Ghostly encounters, alien abduction, reincarnation, talking to the dead, UFO sightings, inexplicable coincidences, out-of-body and near-death experiences. Are these legitimate phenomena? If not, then how should we go about understanding them? In this fascinating book, Chris French investigates paranormal claims to discover what lurks behind this “weird shit.” French provides authoritative evidence-based explanations for a wide range of superficially mysterious phenomena, and then goes further to draw out lessons with wider applications to many other aspects of modern society where critical thinking is urgently needed.Using academic, comprehensive, logical, and, at times, mathematical approaches, The Science of Weird Shit convincingly debunks ESP, communicating with the dead, and alien abduction claims, among other phenomena. All the while, however, French maintains that our belief in such phenomena is neither ridiculous nor trivial; if anything, such claims can tell us a great deal about the human mind if we pay them the attention they are due. Filled with light-bulb moments and a healthy dose of levity, The Science of Weird Shit is a clever, memorable, and gratifying read you won’t soon forget.

In this shortform book, Sun, French, and Unnithan explore state- of- the- art optical recording techniques, with a focus on the revolutionary miniaturized fluorescence microscope – the miniscope – for real- time and in vivo monitoring of multi- neuronal dynamics during cognition- related events.The miniscope is a powerful tool that allows real- time in vivo optical recording of multi- neuronal activity in freely moving animals. This book highlights the use of the miniscope in the context of the hippocampus, a brain region crucial for memory and cognition. The authors employ a combination of theoretical concepts, practical applications, and illustrative case studies to deliver a comprehensive understanding of optical recording techniques. They provide step- by- step guides for using the miniscope, offer insights into data analysis, and discuss its implications in the context of hippocampal research and brain– computer interfaces. Readers will gain profound insights into the role of the hippocampus in memory and cognition, and expert knowledge of the latest miniaturized in vivo optical recording techniques. The book provides them with thorough guidance on implementing a miniaturized fluorescence microscope for a brain– computer interface and information on advanced analysis techniques on the activity of large neuronal populations. This book provides an invaluable short and accessible guide for researchers, neuroscientists, and brain– computer interface enthusiasts to enable them to understand and leverage the immense potential of this advanced optical recording methodology.
