Taming the Fire Within: Understanding and Managing Aggression Through Psychology and Neuroscience
Introduction Aggression is a complex and deeply rooted human emotion that manifests in various forms—from fleeting irritability to explosive outbursts. While it is often viewed negatively, aggression is not inherently bad. In fact, it evolved as a survival mechanism, allowing our ancestors to protect themselves, their territory, and their kin. However, in modern society, unregulated aggression can lead to interpersonal conflicts, legal issues, and long-term psychological distress.

The Cognitive Neuroscience of Language, Timing, Rhythm and Music
In this article, I would like to share my ideas about music and memory, which I wrote about (much to the chagrin of my Uni professor!) for my final dissertation when studying Linguistics and AI and Sussex University in 2004.

Rewiring the Brain: How to Change Your Mindset Through Neuroplasticity
Introduction For decades, the prevailing belief in neuroscience was that the brain, much like a machine, was hardwired from early childhood and incapable of significant change. Today, that notion has been thoroughly debunked. Modern neuroscience shows that the human brain is far more adaptable than once thought—a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. This remarkable capacity allows us not only to recover from injury but also to reprogram our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

I Couldn't Read Until I Was 12
I know how to read. One would have to ask how I could write this if I didn't. But that's the surface meaning of the sentence. I know how to read means I know how I read.
