Podcasts about brain science

Ever feel like you're carrying bricks in your backpack that no one asked you to carry? Or turning a five-minute task into a half-hour saga of overthinking? You're not alone, and your brain might actually be the culprit. In this episode, Dr. Bray pulls back the curtain on why we over complicate simple things and what neuroscience reveals about it. (Hint: it's not just about dopamine, it's about the way our brain's prediction systems and default mode network keep us stuck in loops of worry and “what ifs.”) You'll learn: Why your brain makes simple things feel hard, and how it thinks it's helping. The hidden costs of overthinking on your energy, creativity, and well-being. Practical tools to stop adding “extra screws” to life and start living with more clarity and ease. If you're ready to stop over-engineering your days and start creating space for simplicity, joy, and focus, this episode is for you. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "The mind is designed for survival, not for peace. To find peace, we must practice it intentionally." "Overcomplicating things gives us the illusion of control, but real control comes from simplicity." "Multitasking is the art of doing everything poorly at once."

Rest isn't a “reward” for working hard enough. It's a human need and birthright. This week's episode is a little different. We're not only sharing a guided meditation from mindfulness leader and professional coach Jenée Johnson, but also her teaching on some of the brain science behind relaxation—why it's essential for our well-being, how it works, and how to incorporate intentional relaxation practices into your daily life.  Jenée Johnson, is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, Racial Healing, Emotional Intelligence Educator, and HeartMath facilitator. Jenée initiated and led the unique effort to bring mindfulness into San Francisco's public health programs and practices through the Trauma Informed Systems Initiative. She is on the advisory board of Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute  and is certified to teach mindfulness and emotional intelligence based on the latest neuroscience. She is also the founder and curator of The Right Within Experience, a day-long program for people of African ancestry that teaches practical mindfulness to overcome the diminishing impact of racism and open a portal to a liberatory lifestyle. The transcription of this guided meditation will be online at Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

Understanding exactly how the billions of neurons and trillions of connections in our brains could be one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in history. And, surprisingly, we're not as far off from that as you might think. In episode 2 of our brain series, host Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by Dr. Forrest Collman who helped create the most detailed brain diagram ever made. Sam also digs into how much microplastic is really in our heads and how our brain might be an unreliable narrator.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Overcoming” with a discussion about overcoming anxiety, stress, and worry. We turned to Philippians 4:6, where it says not to be anxious about anything but to pray and petition with thanksgiving, our request to God. We then had Anne Graham Lotz join us to talk about trusting in the unshakeable God and not worrying, amidst the chaotic world. Anne is known for her profound biblical wisdom, speaks globally, and was called “the best preacher in the family” by her late father, Billy Graham. She was also named one of the five most influential evangelists of her generation by the New York Times. We then had Dr. Winfred Neely join us to talk about shifting anxious thoughts to godly thoughts. Dr. Neely is the newly retired Vice President and Academic Dean of Moody Theological Seminary. He will stay on as Adjunct Professor of Biblical Interpretation, Old Testament, and Biblical Preaching. He has also written several books, including “How to Overcome Worry-Experiencing the Peace of God in Every Situation.” We also had Dr. Charles Stone join us to break down the causes of stress and discuss how to deal with it. Dr. Stone has served in vocational ministry for 43 years, 30 years as a Senior Pastor. He now serves as a coach consultant to pastors and leaders. He has also authored numerous books, including “Stress Less: 9 Habits from the Bible and Brain Science to Build Resilience and Reduce Anxiety.” If you're looking to hear a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps: Dr. Winfred Neely Interview (Worry ) [18:38] Dr. Charles Stone Interview (Stress) [30:54 ] Anne Graham Lots Interview (Worry and Anxiety) [39:33 ] Ally Thinks It's Funny [51:20] Karl and Crew airs live weekday mornings from 5-9 a.m. Central Time.

My guest is Dr. Christof Koch, PhD, a pioneering researcher on the topic of consciousness, an investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the chief scientist at the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation. We discuss the neuroscience of consciousness—how it arises in our brain, how it shapes our identity and how we can modify and expand it. Dr. Koch explains how we all experience life through a unique “perception box,” which holds our beliefs, our memories and thus our biases about reality. We discuss how human consciousness is changed by meditation, non-sleep deep rest, psychedelics, dreams and virtual reality. We also discuss neuroplasticity (rewiring the brain), flow states and the ever-changing but also persistent aspect of the “collective consciousness” of humanity.

Stel, je bent getuige van een auto-ongeluk. Je ziet twee auto's die frontaal botsen en de politie vraagt je achteraf hoe hard je dacht dat de auto's reden toen ze elkaar raakten. Zou je de snelheid van de auto's hoger inschatten als je gevraagd was hoe hard de auto's reden toen ze tegen elkaar knalden? Een klassieke studie uit de psychologie suggereert van wel. Dit effect is bekend geworden als het misinformatie-effect en is onder andere van invloed geweest op hoe politieverhoren worden afgenomen. In deze aflevering bespreken we de originele studie uit 1974, het belang van replicatie van deze bevinding en hoe wij dat zelf met labs van over de hele wereld willen gaan doen.

Do you ever feel like you're doing all the right things, yet your clients still aren't showing up the way you want? This week, I'm sharing the powerful lessons I learned with horses at an equine retreat in Colorado. Horses have a way of reflecting back the truth of our energy. They don't respond to strategy or perfection, they respond to presence. And that same principle is true in business. In this episode, I talk about why being stuck in our head can push people away, and how dropping into our heart opens the door for authentic leadership, genuine connection, and aligned clients. I also share the surprising ways surrender brings safety, why doing hard things builds trust in ourselves, and how community, the herd, is essential for thriving as an entrepreneur. ☑️ Why horses mirror the energy we bring and how that translates to leadership ☑️ How dropping the mask shifts our business and attracts the right clients ☑️ The hidden power of surrender, trust, and community in creating a lit up life If you're ready to experience this for yourself, I'd love to invite you to the Cast Your Vision Retreat in Sandpoint, Idaho, October 23rd–26th. This is your chance to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and find clarity, courage, and community with other powerful women. Listen now, subscribe for fresh episodes, and share this one with a friend who needs the reminder that presence is the most powerful client-attraction strategy. HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU

He uses neuropsychology, psychophysics, and neuroimaging to explore the cognitive, neural, developmental, and genetic basis of social perception. Much of his work focuses on prosopagnosia, a condition defined by severe face recognition deficits. In this episode, we first talk about face perception and face perception ability. We then discuss prosopagnosia: what it is, what causes it, its psychosocial impact, the link between loneliness and social perception, how it affects face memory, and whether it can be improved. We then delve into prosopometamorphopsia: what it is, what causes it, stimulus manipulations that improve it, and how it relates to color perception. Finally, we discuss what we can learn more about how face perception and representation work by studying conditions like prosopagnosia and prosopometamorphopsia.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Clement Manyathela sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart in a pre-recorded interview to unpack the science behind those “gut feelings” and uncanny coincidences. In her new book, Dr. Swart explores how our brains are wired to pick up on subtle patterns, and how what feels like magic may actually be our intuition at work. Blending neuroscience with real-world stories, she makes the case for tuning into these signals to make better decisions and live more purposefully.

Once the tank is low, the first thing to go is your ability to think clearly and resist distractions." "Don't use your brain's best hours on low-leverage tasks." "Performance problems may not be due to poor skills, but poor fuel. Invest in good nutrition and rest."

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . I am talking with neuroscientist Christof Koch, and as he says, "How is it that we, a piece of furniture of the universe like a rock or a star or a tree, can love or hate or see or hear?" What, in other words, makes us conscious, and what does that mean? He is known for his work exploring the substrate of consciousness in humans, animals, and machines and is the author of more than 350 peer-reviewed publications and five books, the latest of which is Then I Am Myself the World: What Consciousness Is and How to Expand It. A physicist and neurobiologist, he was for more than a quarter of a century a professor of biology and engineering at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. In 2011, he became the Chief Scientist at the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle and in 2015, its president; now a Meritorious Investigator. He is also the Chief Scientist of the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation in Santa Monica, seeking to understand consciousness, its place in nature, and how this knowledge can benefit all of humanity. In part 2, we talk about a theory of consciousness that Christof is a primary researcher of: Integrated Information Theory, and tools for detecting and measuring consciousness, the magic number φ, the possibility of consciousness transfer, philosophical zombies, and neural correlates of consciousness. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines. Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.

Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Spiritual Detox” with discussions about the importance of taking accountability when repenting and self-control. When we come before God in repentance, we need to own what we did and humbly surrender to Him for restoration and healing. This is affirmed in Joel 2:25, where God promises to restore Israel after the plague of locusts, because they turned back to Him and repented. We then had a special guest, Dean Sikes, join us to share his story of overcoming sexual abuse. He also told us about the work he does with teenagers in trauma recovery and suicide prevention. Dean is an author and a speaker who travels the world ministering to high schoolers, providing them with words of hope. He also hosts the national broadcast You Matter Television and has authored a book called “You Matter.” We then had Drew Dyck join us to discuss the importance of biblical self-control. Drew is an acquisitions editor with Moody Publishers and a contributing editor for Christianity Today for Pastors. He has also authored several books, including “Your Future Self Will Thank You: Secrets to Self-Control from the Bible and Brain Science.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Send us a textBurnout isn't just a buzzword—it's a full-blown workforce crisis. In this episode of Dear HR Diary, I sit down with Nina Nesdoly, workplace well-being researcher and speaker, to dive deep into the neuroscience behind stress and burnout and how managers can recognize, prevent, and address it.What We Discussed:

You know the relationship isn't healthy. Your friends see it. You feel it. So why can't you let go? Maybe you've said something like:"They're not perfect, but we have a deep connection.""When it's good, it's really good.""I know I should leave, but I just can't." Today we're diving deep into the neuroscience of trauma bonding: why your brain gets hooked on the highs and lows, what it's trying to protect you from, and how to break free from cycles that feel like love but aren't.____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/why-you-stay-the-brain-science-of-trauma-bonding-and-how-to-break-free Try this Self-Assessment Quiz and Reflection Guide: Is It Love or a Trauma Bond? https://abbymedcalf.com/trauma-bonding-assessmentGet Therapy-to-Go bundle!

Most people claim to be in favor of free speech, but they often mean speech from their own side (and not whatever those crazy people on the other side want to say). But from the point of view of the brain, why does free speech need to be rigorously defended? What does this have to do with internal models, printing presses, college campuses, John Stuart Mill, online indecency, cultures of honor, Robinson Crusoe, cancel culture, the importance of literature, and why free speech makes everyone safer?

Send us a textThis is the fifth of six mini summer vacation episodes of Talking About Kids. To help listeners have a rejuvenating summer, I asked some previous guests to recommend movies or episodes of TV shows to inspire parents, educators, and direct service providers. This fifth recommendation comes from Seanna Leath, Associate Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Affiliated Faculty in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Washington University in St. Louis.

In this conversation, this research team discusses their innovative project that combines social cognition, crowd dynamics, and machine learning. They explore how to utilize body tracking technology and infrared cameras to gather data on audience behavior during live performances. The team aims to understand the relationship between crowd dynamics and environmental factors, ultimately seeking to predict crowd behavior and enhance audience engagement. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of extracting data from crowd dynamics, particularly in the context of music performances. They discuss the challenges of video data extraction compared to audio, the inspiration behind their project, and the ethical implications of using technology for crowd surveillance. The conversation also touches on the potential for real-time integration of audience behavior into performances, the future of brain-computer interfaces, and the exploration of life beyond Earth through advanced technology. Michael Schnebly is an Applied Physics PhD student at Harvard University, where he studies the mechanics of proteins. He is also the creator of Stepwise (@stepwise.xyz), an experimental artist project using body-tracking technology to build new musical instruments and ways of performing. His work bridges scientific research, live performance, and social experimentation. Michael is one of the co-creators of “Calibration,” a new collaborative research-performance series alongside neuroscientist Landry Bulls and electronic music artist Supertask. Calibration is a scientific study of group synchrony, embodiment, and the neural basis of musical experience through body-tracking in live concert crowds. It launches at Cervantes' Other Side in Denver this summer. Michael Schnelby Links Landry Bulls is a PhD student in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College. As part of the Social Computation, Representation, and Prediction (SCRAP) Lab working with Dr. Mark Thornton, he uses computational methods to study social signaling of human groups and crowds.  Landry Bulls Links For the people who love to experience music, look no further than Supertask. With deep roots in hip-hop and a focus towards immersion, Supertask creates sonic landscapes that dance between the intensity and stillness of the human consciousness. His offerings of musical escapism are consumed by the concept of infinity, and with a background in IT, Supertask often utilizes code and programming in his artistic vision. A vision that his loyal community, the Dev Team, are directly involved in. Blending both analog and digital sound design, his unique approach has proven to be a driving force in the forward progression of electronic music. Through soundscapes that feel sentient, interactive live streams, and mind-bending visuals, Supertask is changing the way that we consume art. Supertask links Mr. Bills Links
