Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-23-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with a passionate plea about E-bike safety after observing riders ignoring stop signs and wearing inadequate helmets in Santa Cruz. She explains the physics of collisions, noting that force equals mass times acceleration, and a car hitting an E-bike rider at 20 mph delivers impact equivalent to falling from a two-story building. She emphasizes that 97% of bike fatalities in New York involved helmetless riders, and brain injuries result from the brain striking the skull twice during impact - once on the impact side and again on the opposite side during deceleration. She urges drivers to honk at helmetless riders and calls for stricter helmet law enforcement. An emailer asks about hydroxyapatite in toothpaste. Dr. Dawn traces its origins to NASA research in the 1960s by Dr. Bernard Rubin studying crystal growth for preventing bone and tooth mineral loss in astronauts. Japanese company Sangi acquired the patent and created the first hydroxyapatite toothpaste by 1980, receiving official anti-cavity recognition in 1993. Studies show it matches fluoride's cavity prevention effectiveness by filling microscopic cracks where bacteria take root. It also relieves temperature sensitivity by sealing micro-fractures in enamel that expose the dentin layer, making it especially helpful for people who clench their jaws. Researchers from UC Berkeley and the Allen Institute used electrodes and lasers to study how mouse brains process optical illusions like the Kanizsa triangle. They discovered specialized IC encoder neurons in the visual cortex that fill in missing information, creating complete shapes from partial cues. When these pattern-completing circuits activate inappropriately, they may trigger hallucinations in conditions like schizophrenia. Dr. Dawn explains that illusions occur when the brain perceives something different from actual visual input, while hallucinations create perceptions with no external stimulus. She discusses frontotemporal dementia where visual hallucinations result from protein deposits in the occipital cortex, and notes that a 2021 British Journal of Psychiatry study found hallucination rates varying from 7% in young people to 3% in those over 70. An emailer describes unbearable chronic lumbar pain with degenerative disc disease shown on MRI. Dr. Dawn emphasizes that MRI findings don't necessarily correlate with pain levels, citing shopping mall studies showing equal degenerative changes in people with and without back pain. She stresses checking for sciatica symptoms including leg pain below the knee, sensory differences between sides, calf size asymmetry, and ability to walk on tiptoes and heels. Without these red flags, the degenerative disease likely isn't causing the pain. She warns against unnecessary surgery citing frequent "failed back" syndrome when surgery for a disk image doesn't "fix" the pain. She recommends water jogging with a ski vest, McKenzie exercises, abdominal strengthening, ergonomics, removing wallets from back pockets, and alternating heat and ice therapy. She discusses mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy for pain management. A caller references Daniel Levitin's book "Your Brain on Music," discussing research using functional MRIs showing distinct brain activation patterns in musicians versus non-musicians due to integrated auditory, visual, and kinesthetic training. Dr. Dawn describes how infant brains develop from three to six layers with increasingly complex synaptic connections resembling circuit boards. She highlights a blindfold study where college students' visual cortices began responding to sound within two weeks as the auditory cortex expanded. She shares her husband's remarkable recovery demonstrating adult brain plasticity through intensive rehabilitation. Learning new musical instruments helps dementia patients by activating multiple brain regions simultaneously and improving standard cognitive test performance. A caller describes an eight-day chest cold with thick white phlegm. Dr. Dawn recommends guaifenesin as a mucus-thinning expectorant to prevent bacterial growth in respiratory secretions that serve as "bacteria chow." She emphasizes the importance of current flu, COVID, and RSV vaccinations. Secondary bacterial infections develop when bacteria colonize viral-induced mucus in the lungs and invade tissues. She advises aggressive hydration and chicken soup, which research shows helps clear mucus. Another caller provides additional information about Daniel Levitin as a musicologist, neurologist, and musician who runs the Music Perception, Cognition and Expertise laboratory at McGill University.

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie sits down with tech-loving SLP and entrepreneur Mai Ling Chan to demystify one of the biggest buzzwords in our field—AI. From her early days building websites and launching innovative platforms to helping SLPs ethically integrate AI into their daily work, Mai shares how this fast-evolving tool can make our lives easier and enhance our clinical practice. Together, they break down what AI can (and can't) do, why “hallucinations” aren't just for sci-fi, and how to use it responsibly—without feeling left behind. Whether you're curious about how AI can help you plan sessions, save time, or simply make dinner (yes, really!), this conversation will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and inspired to experiment with tech on your own terms.Bullet Points to Discuss: What AI can (and can't) do in our field right now Ethical and practical ways to use AI in therapy and planning Why “AI hallucinations” happen—and how to spot them Here's what we learned: You don't need to be a tech expert to start using AI effectively. AI can save time and spark creativity—but still needs human oversight. Ethical awareness is essential when applying AI in therapy or materials. “Hallucinations” remind us to double-check information, not fear the tool. Learning AI is an ongoing process—everyone's still figuring it out. A supportive community helps SLPs explore new tools with confidence.Learn more about Mai Ling Chan: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mailingchan/ Website: https://www.mailingchan.com/ Website: https://www.exceptionalleadersnetwork.com/ AI for SLPs (FB Group): https://www.facebook.com/groups/597325123447725 Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

The technological landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, and AI stands at the forefront of this transformation. But how can HR professionals and business leaders navigate this new terrain effectively?Dr. Keith Duggar, CTO of X-Ray and co-host of Machine Learning Street Talk, brings clarity to this complex topic through a lens shaped by his fascinating career trajectory. From his roots in chemical engineering to high-frequency trading on Wall Street, then to Microsoft, and now leading an innovative AI startup, Dr. Duggar offers practical wisdom for organizations grappling with AI adoption.His company, X-Ray Glass, emerged from a deeply human need – creating augmented reality subtitles for those with hearing impairments. This mission of "subtitling life" exemplifies how AI can enhance human connection rather than diminish it. Through this work, Dr. Duggar has developed invaluable mental models for understanding large language models that cut through the hype and confusion."They're order of magnitude more efficient search engines," Dr. Duggar explains, while cautioning about their limitations, particularly hallucinations – convincingly wrong information that can appear authoritative. His advice? Approach AI as an interactive dialogue, start simple, refine iteratively, and always verify critical information through traditional sources.Looking ahead, Dr. Duggar envisions a shift toward "constellations of narrow intelligences" rather than ever-larger general models, with specialized AI tools working in concert to solve complex problems. For organizations seeking to harness AI's potential, he recommends practical approaches like hackathons and workshops alongside robust governance frameworks addressing privacy and misinformation risks.Whether you're an AI skeptic or enthusiast, this conversation offers a balanced perspective on embracing innovation while mitigating risk.

「幻覺」(Hallucination)是指大語言模型(LLM)在回答問題時,產生聽起來很有說服力,但卻是無中生有的資訊 。為什麼會產生幻覺?OpenAI 的研究報告指出,幻覺是語言模型本身的結構問題。其運作機制是透過不斷預測下一個最合理的字詞來生成內容。當訓練資料中沒有固定答案的問題時,模型為了獲得「獎勵」(即生成回應),就會像猜測選擇題一樣,胡亂編造一個答案 。新一代的模型如 GPT-5,已透過改善其評分機制,減少了幻覺的出現。幻覺是語言模型固有的結構問題,因此無法百分之百根治 。從使用者角度如何減少幻覺?使用者可以透過以下方法降低幻覺的發生機率:* 限定資料範圍:提供特定的文件(如論文)給模型,並要求它只在這些資料的範圍內回答問題 。* 明確提問:在提問時,清楚地描述背景、問題,並說明你期望的答案類型,例如「不要亂編」、「需要精準答案」等 。* 要求事實核查:可以要求模型自己進行事實核查,或請它提供資料來源 。如何讓大語言模型有效地發揮創意?* 結合特定情境:將兩個看似不相關的概念或領域(例如佛學與人工智慧)關聯起來,引導模型從新穎的角度進行分析 。* 協作式提問:當問題不夠明確時,讓模型反過來提問以幫助您收窄問題範圍,共同協作釐清問題 。* 資訊整理與分析:利用模型將多個來源的資訊(如公司財報、網路論壇評論)進行綜合和摘要,以獲得更精簡和全面的答案 。 This is a public episode.

For individuals living with schizophrenia, the world can be populated by voices, visions, or other sensory experiences that are intensely real yet imperceptible to others. These hallucinations, which are a defining feature of schizophrenia, are not mere figments of imagination but rather vivid, often distressing, and deeply influential aspects of their daily reality. Today's exploration aims to shed light on the phenomenon of hallucinations in schizophrenia, going beyond a diagnostic perspective to consider the actual experience, and the profound impact on an individual's sense of self and connection to the world around them. Guest host, Rachel Star Withers, a diagnosed schizophrenic, and guest Christopher Grant have a real, raw discussion about what experiencing schizophrenia hallucinations is like.Please Note: Our regular host, Gabe Howard, will be back next week! “Just because something is in the uncanny valley, it doesn't always mean it's terrifying or deserves demonization. I'm not blind to that fact that it's off-putting to people through the perspective of a neurotypical person. I'm glad to say today most of my hallucinations are pretty, I don't even want to say friendly. They're just content, like a neutral energy. But, for a long time, I was constantly in a state of like terror, like fight or flight terror when I'd experience it.” ~Christopher Grant aka XO RAD Magical Our guest, Christopher Grant, is a Mi'gmaw filmmaker from Pabineau First Nation, New Brunswick. Inspired by the intense absurdity of life and death, Chris animates to express the humour and terror of existence. He has worked with the NFB's Hothouse project, and his work has been exhibited at galleries, museums and film festivals internationally. He is also known for his role on TikTok as XORADMAGICAL, where he creates art and answers questions all relating to his experiences with schizophrenia in daily life.

Can AI be used to improve patient experiences? This week, Technology Now explores how AI is being used to streamline data collection in the healthcare industry, how data should be treated to avoid bias in AI, and the benefits this brings to patients. Derek B. Howard, Programme Manager for the HPE Digital Health Foundry Programme, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Aubrey Lovell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.About Derek B.

AI isn't a magic wand—but it can absolutely help nonprofits do more with less when you understand what it is, where it fits, and how to use it wisely. In this energizing conversation, technology associate and CPA Christine Chacko from Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC) explains the practical difference between automation and AI, when to use each, and how to keep data safe while you experiment and learn. As Christine puts it, “AI is actually a form of automation,” but it handles open-ended, judgment-heavy tasks while traditional automation follows clear, narrow rules. Think rules for categorizing expenses (automation) versus analyzing trends, benchmarking, and surfacing insights across donor segments (AI).Christine offers real nonprofit examples: blend automation to roll up donor data by type, then ask AI to interpret changes year over year, spot seasonality, or flag post-pandemic shifts. She shows how AI shines as a writing helper—drafting grant narratives tailored to funders' preferences or condensing verbose copy into crisp executive summaries—while reminding us to review outputs for voice, accuracy, and appropriateness. “We really like to think of it as a thought partner,” she says, perfect for bouncing ideas, testing messages, and clarifying complex financial stories for boards.Security matters, too. Christine's guidance is simple and strong: read the fine print, know what you opt into, and understand the difference between models embedded in trusted systems and those that reach out to other tools. She introduces agentic AI—systems that can act on your behalf (e.g., access Outlook, browse the web, schedule emails)—and explains why permissions, policies, and internal controls must come first. Hallucinations are less frequent in newer reasoning models, but review remains essential—especially for grants and external communications where stakes are high.Finally, Christine maps the near-term horizon: expect broader, more accessible agentic AI inside finance, IT, customer support, and daily workflows. Success won't come from tools alone; it comes from culture—clear use cases, communication, training, and solid processes. Used well, AI reduces drudgery (transcripts, notes, routine emails) so nonprofit teams can focus on judgment, relationships, and mission results.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

A new research paper from OpenAI asks why large language models like GPT-5 and chatbots like ChatGPT still hallucinate, and whether anything can be done to reduce those hallucinations. In a blog post summarizing the paper, OpenAI defines hallucinations as plausible but false statements generated by language models, and it acknowledges that despite improvements, hallucinations remain a fundamental challenge for all large language models, one that will never be completely eliminated.

Host Rachel Star Withers, a diagnosed schizophrenic, and guest Christopher Grant have a real, raw discussion about what experiencing schizophrenia hallucinations is like. “By the time I was in university, I started hearing whispering in the vents of my apartment. Then it suddenly became more focused. Like Command, go take a walk right now or this will happen to you. It continued on and it intensified all the way until as recently as 2022 I've had a lot of ups and downs. I've had a lot of moments where I hit rock bottom personally and then had to find a way to swim back up from that.” — Christopher Grant “We would have classically called it spirits. My grandfather, before he died, when he heard that I was going through the symptoms of schizophrenia, he said, there's no word for it in Mi'kmaq. They just would have said, you're going through a test of the spirits. You're going on this experience where you have to, learn yourself, learn your strengths, learn your boundaries, and don't give up no matter how turbulent it gets.” — Christopher Grant Our Guest, Christopher Grant, is a Mi'gmaw filmmaker from Pabineau First Nation, New Brunswick.

In the late 1970s, a quiet suburban home in Enfield, London, belonging to the Hodgson family got a new roommate—a poltergeist. The entity seemed to latch on to their 11-year-old daughter, Janet, who experienced levitation, violent attacks, and had strange voices speak through her. The case was heavily investigated by paranormal researchers who agree an evil spirit was present, but some think there's another explanation regarding Janet's supernatural abilities.
