Neuroretrograph

A cognitive imprint or mental map of retro aesthetics and memory, rendered through a futuristic lens.

Looking at that piece felt like a neuroretrograph — like my childhood memories were being projected through someone else's dream of the future.

neuroconvergent

People who fulfill and internalised the societal norms so much because of their predispositions and other factors that they don't notice that they did. That's one reason why they call everything they don't understand "deviant", "other", "weird", "bad" and themselves "normal".

They are neuroconvergent, they have never felt what discrimination is.

Neuroff

A label for a person showing unintelligent or stupid behavior. It implies that their neurons are turned off.

You’re such a neuroff. The world wasn’t black and white before color television was invented.

Neurodivertween

A person that's neither autistic nor neurodivergent nor neurotypical nor Albert Einstein

Neurodivertween, well as is self explanatory, is a combination of the words neurodivergent and between. And by the way I'm a neurodivertween

Neurotypical

An individual who's existence is easily monetized with minimal need for behavioral or medicinal intervention.

Johnny didn't need accommodations to do their job as a neurotypical.

Neuropsychorealism

The belief that our subjective mental experiences—thoughts, emotions, "the self"—are direct, one-to-one products of specific, measurable brain states. It asserts that if we had a perfect brain scanner, we could read your mind like a book because every qualia (like the redness of red or the ache of sadness) has a precise neural barcode. It's the ultimate "you are your brain" stance, dismissing anything that can't be physically located as illusion.

Neuropsychorealism would argue that your feeling of love for your partner isn't some mystical connection, but simply the predictable firing pattern of neurons in your ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens, flooded with oxytocin and dopamine. If we could perfectly replicate that exact brain state in a vat, you'd feel identical love for no one at all. The movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is a neuropsychorealist nightmare—since memories are physical engrams, zapping them should delete the associated emotion.

Neuropsychorelativism

The idea that the brain's structure and function are not fixed interpreters of reality, but are shaped by culture, language, and personal experience to such a degree that there is no single, objective "brain reality." Different brains, shaped by different lives, literally perceive and construct different worlds. Your neural architecture is your own unique reality-generating prison.

Consider the concept of "schizophrenia." Neuropsychorelativism might argue that in a culture that interprets auditory hallucinations as communication with ancestors, the brain's wiring and the person's experience would be fundamentally different—and perhaps less distressing—than in a culture that pathologizes it as a disease. The brain isn't discovering reality; it's building a bespoke one based on its inputs. Someone who grows up bilingual might have a literally different neural landscape for language than a monolingual person.
