Neuroscience
In the research article by McCabe and Castel their hypothesis asserts that brain imaging specifically fMRI and PET, which are usually displayed pictorially with highlighted brain areas of activation, have a significant effect on the readers’ conclusions concerning an articles credibility and are thus rated higher in scientific reasoning. They believe this is because it provides a physical basis for abstract cognitive processes. To substantiate these claims, they conduct three experiments to determine if a brain image has a significant effect on perceived credibility and what exactly about the image is persuasive.

Knowing yourself
Feeling anxiety is constant and on an all-time rise in the modern-day. With a constant connection to live recordings and so much information that gets processed keeps an ongoing thought-like jumping process in the brain. Before just stepping back and taking a look at where you stand, take a second, and listen to what your different body parts are telling you. I feel down, the solution is do something that feels good like biting into a piece of your favorite tastes or revisit an experience that made you feel accomplished. No doubt if it was something memorable it will serve a great purpose into shifting your mindset from a negative, to a neutral, to a positive quite quickly.
