It is just a picture of brain activity when someone is in a severe depression. It doesn't say anything about causation. A recent break through in tools to study things but still rather primitive. To me it is a picture that shows what we deal with. I can actually literally feel the lack of brain activity when I am severely depressed.

yeah, sure I deal with dumb days too (moderate doses of guarana seem to counter that, often to a great degree).

But what does the picture really say? I mean, everything we think and do... goes through our brain. They even shown that brains of conservatives are different than brains of liberals......... Brains of people who meditate regularly look different...... but does it really matter in the end? I don't need fancy schmancy science brains scan to tell me I tend to be bit slow when depressed. It doesn't bring solutions. So far I only seen these pretty brain pictures used to push agenda.

Or does it serve as the "not my fault" proof? But would it really be so? Wouldn't thinking differently and training yourself in mindfullness throw this argument out of window too?

I just think these might be bit waste of time and resources. People suffer and all we get is some pretty colorful pictures of brains?
