I just had one of those delightful moments where I have a very specific idea, and then I search for it (Claude Research in this case), and it turns out that people have already been using that exact concept but just calling it by a name I'd never heard of. That name is conceptor, but the basic construction is not new and has gone by many other names.
There are two nuclear options for treating depression: Ketamine and TMS; This post is about the latter. TMS stands for . Basically, it fixes depression via magnets, which is about the second or third most magical things that magnets can do. I don’t know a whole lot about the neuroscience - this post isn’t about the how or the why. It’s from the perspective of a patient, and it’s about the what. What is it like to get TMS?
This seems partially right, partially confused in an important way. As I tried to point people to years ago, how this works is ... quite complex processes, where some higher-level modelling (“I see a lion”) leads to a response in lower levels connected to body states, some chemicals are released, and this interoceptive sensation is re-integrated in the higher levels. I will try to paraphrase/expand in a longer form.
