Susceptibility to False Memories for Stressful Events: Psychological and Biological Predictors
Well it's finished now!
The below graphic was generated from a very cool website called Wordle. You paste in a bunch of text and it generates a word cloud, making most common words more prominent. I inserted part of my thesis. Here is what was produced (it kinda looks how my brain feels thinking about all this):
Well I think the above
sort-of answers what my PhD is about . As for what it was like to do a thesis - well I think if you go to this post it probably sums that up for you quite well.

Howdy, and sorry for taking so long to find you!
ReplyDeleteI like the big "false" there. It gives the whole thing a fun passive-aggressive vibe ;-)
Wow. I highly commend you for your studies on such a difficult topic. I recognize some of the terminology from the research that I was doing for a creative writing project. Unfortunately, after reading about three books, I got so emotionally and psychologically drained from all of the case studies that I had to set the project aside. Hopefully, I'll return to it soon.
ReplyDelete*Much success to you.
1. I love that you have Norman Doidge's book to the right; I just wrote about this book in one of my Top Ten Tuesday blogs!
ReplyDelete2. Happy 3rd year for your PhD! I just completed my 3rd year and will be embarking on my 4th year as a behavioral neuroscience/psychology PhD student. Needless to say, I feel your pain.
3. You do false memory research? In the states, Dr. Charles Weaver does a TON of false memory stuff, and total random sidenote, I house sit for his family when they go abroad every summer. Cool research!
Nice to meet you! Found you throuh 20SB.net.

I was told years ago in the Office of Student Life where I worked and found as a second home while being a student leader in my undergrad to make a wordie! I was told to do it and post it somewhere for a fast uplift in spirits. I have yet to make one but I love the point of them and I think as I continue my Graduate Studies this Spring 2013 I will finally make one and hang it somewhere for a boost when needed.

The wordle clearly tell that your research is all about false memories. Thesis ideas can really be thought out really carefully by wordle, and I think it a great summary of what word are mostly used on a research paper.
