Et si un simple tatouage temporaire collé sur votre visage pouvait révéler votre niveau de fatigue mentale ? Non, ce n'est pas de la science-fiction, mais une avancée bien réelle publiée dans la revue Device. Des chercheurs de l'université du Texas à Austin viennent de mettre au point un dispositif révolutionnaire : un tatouage électronique ultrafin, capable de mesurer la charge cognitive en temps réel.Ce minuscule capteur se colle directement sur la peau, comme un tatouage éphémère. Il repose sur deux technologies clés : l'électroencéphalographie (EEG), qui mesure l'activité électrique du cerveau, et l'électrooculographie (EOG), qui enregistre les mouvements oculaires. Jusque-là, ces techniques nécessitaient un casque EEG rigide, des électrodes en gel et tout un attirail peu compatible avec une utilisation quotidienne. Mais grâce à l'électronique flexible et à des matériaux biocompatibles, les chercheurs sont parvenus à miniaturiser l'ensemble de manière spectaculaire.Mais à quoi sert ce tatouage ? À prévenir les erreurs humaines dues à une fatigue mentale trop importante. Dans certaines professions — comme les pilotes, les chirurgiens ou les contrôleurs aériens — une surcharge cognitive peut être dramatique. Ce tatouage permettrait donc d'évaluer en continu le niveau d'attention, la concentration, et les signes précoces de fatigue mentale… bien avant que le cerveau ne flanche.Le dispositif capte des signaux subtils : une baisse de la vigilance, des micro-décalages dans les mouvements oculaires, des modifications dans les ondes cérébrales… Tous ces éléments sont analysés par une IA qui établit un indice de charge cognitive. L'objectif à terme : envoyer une alerte si le niveau de fatigue devient critique, et éviter qu'un professionnel prenne une décision risquée dans un état de surmenage.Ce tatouage ouvre aussi des perspectives grand public : imaginez un jour pouvoir savoir si vous êtes trop mentalement fatigué pour conduire, pour réviser, ou même pour prendre une décision importante. Mais attention, les chercheurs insistent : ce n'est pas un gadget, mais un outil de mesure scientifique rigoureux.Ce projet s'inscrit dans une tendance plus large : celle de la neurotechnologie embarquée, qui vise à intégrer l'analyse cérébrale dans notre quotidien, sans contraintes. L'idée n'est plus de mesurer le cerveau uniquement en laboratoire, mais dans la vraie vie.Un jour, peut-être, nous porterons ce genre de tatouage comme nous portons aujourd'hui une montre connectée. Non pas pour compter nos pas, mais pour prendre soin… de notre esprit. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
Are you ready to stop just understanding your INFP mind and finally start transforming your life? Go here: http://geekpsychology.com/infp-5dayINFPs, ever feel like your brain runs on a completely different operating system? You're not wrong. This deep dive with neuroscientist Dr. Dario Nardi finally lays it all bare, directly mapping how your unique INFP mind actually works.Dr. Nardi, a leading expert in brain activity and personality types, uses EEG scans to show why INFPs often ask "Why am I like this?" (and why everyone else asks it too!). This isn't just theory; it's tangible proof of how your brain lights up, makes decisions, and processes the world.We break down:The "two CEOs" in your head: your goal-focused Left Prefrontal Cortex and the open-ended Right Prefrontal Cortex – and why INFPs might be more "decision-focused" than you think.The infamous "Christmas Tree Mode" of Extraverted Intuition (Ne) that helps you connect everything, and the sacred "Fortress of Solitude" Introverted Intuition (Ni) needs for deep insights.Why leaning into curiosity is your superpower, and how you actually learn best through failure (the brain literally has a part for it!).The surprising role of the limbic system and why emotions like guilt and regret can be powerful motivators for NF types.How AI is becoming the ultimate co-pilot for NP creativity, helping you sift through ideas and find your spark.If you've ever felt misunderstood or just wanted to hack your own brain for better flow and creativity, this video is a must-watch. Prepare for some serious "aha!" moments that will make you feel truly seen.A Message From DarioJOIN MY IN-PERSON "JUNG FOR LIFE" Transformational Workshop -- 3-days in NYC (Oct) and Chicago (Nov).

Das Apallische Syndrom, auch bekannt als Wachkoma oder vegetativer Zustand, stellt eine komplexe Herausforderung für Pflege, Medizin und Angehörige dar. Charakterisiert durch den Verlust der Großhirnfunktion bei erhaltenem Hirnstamm, zeigen Betroffene einen Schlaf-Wach-Rhythmus und reflexhafte Bewegungen, während bewusstes Erleben und zielgerichtete Reaktionen fehlen. Die Diagnostik erfolgt über klinische Beobachtung und bildgebende Verfahren wie EEG oder funktionelle MRT, um den Grad der Hirnschädigung und mögliche Restbewusstseinsreaktionen zu erfassen.Pflege und Therapie sind interdisziplinär ausgerichtet und beinhalten medizinische Stabilisierung, basale Stimulation, physiotherapeutische Maßnahmen sowie die Einbindung von Angehörigen. Aktuelle Forschung zeigt, dass manche Patient:innen, die äußerlich reaktionslos erscheinen, über Restbewusstsein verfügen, was neue Ansätze der Kommunikation und Therapie ermöglicht. Innovative Technologien wie Brain-Computer-Interfaces (z. B. Neuralink) eröffnen perspektivisch Chancen, verborgene Bewusstseinsreaktionen zu erkennen und eine partielle Interaktion zu ermöglichen.
Pour ce 116ème épisode de SENS CREATIF, nous recevons l'excellente BILIANA TODOROVA, docteur en sciences, coach et conférencière internationale et autrice de "Neuroexcellence" aux éditions Dunod.Biliana a mené plus de cent expérimentations sur son propre cerveau avec des IRM, EEG, MEG et même des tests moléculaires avec des produits que vous n'auriez sans doute pas aimé expérimenter. Ensemble, on s'aventure dans les coulisses de la créativité version neurosciences : pourquoi notre cerveau adore nous piéger avec ses automatismes, comment le stress peut devenir un turbo plutôt qu'un frein, et quelles astuces simples permettent d'ouvrir grand les vannes de l'inspiration. Une discussion en plein air, entre science et vécu perso, où l'on découvre que le cerveau peut être à la fois notre meilleur allié ou notre plus grand saboteur… selon la manière dont on joue avec lui !Dans cet épisode, on discute :
Paul Buitink spreekt met Jort Kelder over de democratie in Nederland, de EU en de euro.Is Nederland vastgelopen? Jort noemt ons land extreem gebureaucratiseerd en een ambtenarensamenleving, waarbij die ambtenaren niet worden afgerekend op hun prestaties. Hij legt uit waarom hij Singapore als voorbeeld ziet van hoe het beter kan.Ons EU-lidmaatschap ziet Jort als een belemmerende factor. Hij vindt dat we het bij de EEG hadden moeten houden, of opt-outs hadden moeten regelen. Tegelijkertijd is hij geen voorstander van een Nexit en ziet hij federalisering juist wel zitten. Wel vindt hij dat politici eerlijker moeten zijn over de kosten die de EU en de euro met zich meebrengen voor de belastingbetaler, en benadrukt hij dat we geen Italiaanse schulden zouden moeten overnemen. Zou Nederland welvarend kunnen zijn zonder de euro? Is de EU te hervormen? Jort bespreekt de omgekeerde solidariteit in de EU, waarbij Nederlanders met minder vermogen Italianen met meer vermogen subsidiëren. Volgens hem zullen Fransen en Italianen uiteindelijk hervormen omdat de wal het schip keert. Nederland moet daarvoor wel harder onderhandelen. Ook bespreken Paul en Jort de mogelijkheid van een experiment met een parallelle munt om de Nederlandse onderhandelingspositie te versterken.Jort noemt Milei de meest interessante economische gebeurtenis sinds Thatcher. Waarom horen we zo weinig over hem in Nederland? En zou zijn beleid hier ook werken? Ook bespreken ze een hervorming van de Nederlandse democratie. Jort is erg kritisch op de Nederlandse kiezer.Tot slot bespreken ze het afnemende concurrentievermogen, de Nederlandse bevolking en saaie politici.

Moderator: Tobias Cronberg (Lund, Sweden) Guest: Andrea Rossetti (Lausanne, Switzerland) In this episode, Cronberg speaks with Rossetti about the role of EEG in the neuro ICU, with a focus on prognostication and monitoring in critically ill patients. They explore clinical applications, organizational differences across countries, and the value—and limitations—of continuous EEG, spot EEG, and emerging AI tools.
We're joined by Hongi Ngo, who developed a revolutionary technique for manipulating sleep oscillations during his PhD. Closed-loop Auditory Stimulation (CLAS), which uses bursts of pink noise which are carefully timed to a particular phase of an existing brain oscillation to either boost or dampen the target oscillation. It has been used to selectively strengthen or weaken memories, improve the immune response, reduce epileptic seizures, and even potentially to slow down age related cognitive decline.Hongi tells us how he got got the idea for CLAS, explains how it works, and tells us about some of his existing studies. He talks about combining CLAS with Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) and discusses the ideas for future of brain modulation methods with techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Some of the key papers discussed are:Auditory closed-loop stimulation of the sleep slow oscillation enhances memory (2013)Auditory closed-loop stimulation of EEG slow oscillations strengthens sleep and signs of its immune-supportive function (2017)Thalamic spindles promote memory formation during sleep thrugh triple phase-locking of cortical, thalamic and hippocampal rhythms (2017)Examining the optimal timing for closed-loop auditory stimulation of slow-wave sleep in young and older adults (2019)Auditory stimulation during sleep suppresses spike activity in benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (2021)Shaping overnight consolidation via slow-oscillation closed-loop targeted memory reactivation (2022)Check out our NaPS website to find out more about the podcast, our research and events.

What if the medications women are told to trust during pregnancy are actually putting their babies at risk?
Is ChatGPT dumbing down your kid? It is and here's what you can do.A new MIT study reveals the powerful consequences of artificial intelligence on actual intelligence, and guess what? Simply (and terrifyingly) put, the use of artificial intelligence undermines your child's actual intelligence. In short, when children don't think for themselves, they don't learn to think for themselves. That should surprise no one.I'll get to the disturbing details of the study in a moment, but let me first explain why these outcomes were obvious and inevitable. In a nutshell, the brain functions like a muscle insofar that it becomes stronger when it is used and atrophies when it is not used. I could list a thousand additional factors that affect thinking, but that simple premise really is enough for this discussion.And when I say that the brain functions like a muscle, most people think I'm speaking overly metaphorically. I'm not. While the brain, of course, isn't actual muscle tissue, its functioning is remarkably similar. Much in the way that exercising muscles builds more muscles, exercising the brain builds the brain—literally. Every single time we engage in a thinking act, the brain builds more wiring, such as synapses through synaptogenesis, for that thinking act. On the flipside, the brain not only allows existing pathways to diminish when they're not used, it actually overwrites existing pathways with new ones.Watch this play out in the MIT study …The MIT StudyThat study is Your brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task, by a team of researchers led by Dr. Nataliya Kosmyna. The scientists broke a group of students down into three essay-writing groups: An “A.I.-assisted” writing group that used multiple LLMs (not just ChatGPT), a “search engine” group, and a “brain-only” group. The students then engaged in three writing sessions while the researchers monitored their brain activity using an EEG. Each student was interviewed after each session, and all of their writing was assessed by humans, as well as an A.I.So, what happens when one group is required to use their brains more than the other groups? Would it shock you to know that the group that needed to do their own thinking actually thought more? I hope not, not anymore than it should be surprising that a group of kids who practiced hitting a ball did better at hitting a ball than a group of kids who watched a robot hit a ball for them. (Okay, that's not a perfectly fair analogy to the A.I. usage in this case, but it illustrates the point.)And the point is that brain-only group performed better and scored higher on their essays. But that's not the most important outcome for us. What's more important is that “the brain-only group exhibited the strongest, widest-ranging networks” of brain activity, while the group with A.I. “assistance elicited the weakest overall coupling.” In other words, the brain-only group thought a lot; the A.I.-assisted group did not. Do you remember what we said about what happens when the brain “muscle” isn't used?But it gets worse. The researchers brought those two groups back for a fourth session and switched their roles. They gave the A.I. group a brain-only writing task and the brain-only group an A.I. writing task. And here's what's so important: the brain-only group still performed better, even when using A.I., and the A.I. group still performed worse, even when given the opportunity to think for themselves. Or should I say, it did worse because they now had to think for themselves.Over the first three brain-only writing assignments, the brain-only students built their brains for the task, and they built mental frameworks (read: habits) to rely on when engaging those tasks. Thus, that they then “gained” an A.I. assistant did not suddenly degrade all of the wiring that their brains built. But the A.I. group, when suddenly given the opportunity for a brain-only task, not only had built no wiring for accomplishing that task, it also, and this is the most critical part, created wiring and mental frameworks for using A.I. instead.What that means in a nutshell, and these are my words not those of the study, is that the brain-only group got smarter and the A.I. group not only failed to become smarter, they got dumbed down—they became habituated to relying on A.I. Thus, when given the opportunity to do so, they were incapable of thinking as well as the brain-only participants did.All of that should be concerning enough, but there's more. In addition to the direct cognitive effects, the researchers also found that brain-only participants “demonstrated higher memory recall” and engagement of thinking-related brain areas compared to the A.I group. Meanwhile, compared to the brain-only group, the A.I. participants reported lower “ownership of their essay,” which is an educator's way of saying that they didn't care about it as much and did not feel as though it was their own.Thus, to sum it all up, A.I.-assisted writing made the kids perform poorly, made them dumber, and made them less invested in their own thinking and writing.What to doIn light of this study, one school of “thought” could be that since everyone is going to rely on A.I. in the future anyway, kids who do so will be no worse off than their peers, and using A.I. might free up time for them to do things that are more valuable than writing essays, which, again, they won't really ever need to write on their own anyway because A.I. will be there to “assist.” Those who subscribe to that position probably should stop following me here at Actual Intelligence right now as we will be rather inclined to disagree.The other school of thought is that thinking skills, such as those developed through writing, which research repeatedly shows is the best way to teach critical thinking, are far more important than any and all expediencies achieved through A.I. assistance. Let me rephrase that: If you want your kids to build their brains rather than have them degenerate into relatively useless gelatin that can only write A.I. prompts or order burrito online, then keep their brains as far from A.I. as possible.Obviously, there's not much that you can do with your college-aged kids other than share this information with them and hope they make the right decisions. But for kids still under your roof, there are things you can do:1. Share this information with them. Most kids don't want to become dumber; they do value their ability to think. So, take time to explain, and then reinforce, the consequences of A.I. In fact, start thinking of A.I. as something about which you need to begin messaging no differently than alcohol, drugs, and sex.2. Ask them how they use A.I. Understand their current relationship with A.I., and please keep in mind that the MIT study does not speak to other ways that students might interact with A.I. beyond this one context. Using A.I. in other ways might be more or less consequential.3. Check their work: There are plenty of sites out there that scan essays to see if they were written by A.I. Those sites are not perfectly reliable, but they might offer useful information about what your kid is up to.4. If you want to get serious, have your kids download all their source materials before writing, then shut of their internet while they write. Take away the temptation; make them use their brains.ConclusionThe implications of A.I.-based “thinking” work are becoming clear, but for anyone who has thought about it or who values thinking, they're also not surprising. Every time we use A.I. to “assist” our thinking, it not only prevents us from thinking, it degrades our capacity to think in the future.Worse—much, much worse—is that those of you reading this built your brains before A.I. existed, which means that even if you gravitate to using A.I. now (please don't), you've got a lot of “muscle” built up to abate its consequences. A.I. will still degrade your thinking, but those sound neural pathways you built up all your life won't all turn to jelly overnight.But for your kids, it's different. Their neural pathways are still in the process of building up for the first time. Even though we are all always rewriting our brains, kids' brains have not even fully developed, so whatever they habituate to will become hardwired moving forward. Consequently, kids who are raised as A.I. natives might never develop their brains for thinking in the same way yours did. And that will not only affect their lives, but a generation of lesser-thinkers will affect all our lives.But there's good news! Somewhere down the line, kids who actually learn to think for themselves will stand out against the emerging generation who might not. So, if you can raise your own child to think critically, they might just be among the few who lead the world to a better place.And that, once again, is why actual intelligence is so important.

In this episode, which is part of our mini-series "Active Brain," Dr. Ludyga shares insights from his early work where he investigated brain activity through EEG during cycling exercises. ---------- Dr. Sebastian Ludyga, a distinguished research group leader at the University of Basel in Switzerland. Dr. Ludyga brings a wealth of knowledge from his extensive research on the effects of physical exercise on brain activity. Originally from Germany, where he completed his PhD, Dr. Ludyga has explored how exercise influences brain functions during and post-exercise, making significant discoveries in neuroefficiency and brain adaptations due to physical training. In this episode, which is part of our mini-series "Active Brain," Dr. Ludyga shares insights from his early work where he investigated brain activity through EEG during cycling exercises. He discusses the intriguing patterns observed, such as the inverted U-curve of brain activity, which delineates how brain function peaks during mid-exercise and tapers, suggesting central fatigue. Furthermore, Dr. Ludyga explains the shift in his research focus towards the cognitive effects of exercise, particularly in children, where he studies how physical activity influences cognitive tasks and overall cognitive function. Listeners can expect a clear and straightforward discussion about the intersection of physical activity and brain health. Dr. Tikkanen and Dr. Ludyga also delve into how these research insights apply to everyday health and training practices, emphasizing the importance of exercise in enhancing cognitive efficiency and brain health across all ages. Join us as we uncover these fascinating aspects of physical activity research, presented in a manner that is accessible to both academic and non-specialist audiences. Whether you are a researcher, a practitioner, or simply someone interested in the latest scientific findings on exercise and brain function, this episode promises to provide valuable and practical insights. _________________________________________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.

Deze zomer is er hopelijk genoeg tijd om uit te puffen en op te laden voor een spannend politiek najaar. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger dienen je geestelijke vitaminen toe om er straks vol inspiratie en nieuwe energie weer tegenaan te gaan! *** Op 21 september live in Het Concertgebouw! Betrouwbare Bronnen: muziek en tirannie. Kom ook! Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show!

En het is echt heel slecht geschreven, vond ook de Italiaanse journalist Benito Mussolini. Maar Mein Kampf is opnieuw actueel. De wordingsgeschiedenis, de titel, het verdienmodel en de worstelingen ermee na 1945 zijn een boek op zichzelf waard. Zonder de Britse sociaal-darwinistische schrijver Houston Stewart Chamberlain was het boek er nooit gekomen. Zijn schoonfamilie regelde zelfs dat Hitler in de cel het schrijfpapier ervoor kreeg. Jaap en PG duiken in diens merkwaardige leven, werk, netwerk en impact rond 1900 en in diens hysterische verering voor de jonge Führer. 2] Benjamin Duerr – De Droom van Den Haag (Atlas Contact, 2024) Het tweede boek gaat over de dromen van wereldvrede rond 1900 en de unieke rol daarin van Den Haag. Het begon met een jonge tsaar die zichzelf een vredesvorst waande. Zijn ministers hadden heel nuchtere, geopolitieke argumenten om decennia geen oorlogen te willen. Zijn nichtje, de net ingehuldigde koningin Wilhelmina, vond dat mystieke pacifisme maar lariekoek. Haar minister Willem Hendrik de Beaufort zat klem tussen deze twee Romanovs. Tegen vele klippen op kwamen er twee vredesconferenties op rij en Den Haag werd juist vanwege de saaiheid opvolger van Wenen 1814-1815. Niet alleen de tsaar spande zich in. Ook president Roosevelt van Amerika, zeker nadat hij een Nobelprijs kreeg voor vrede tussen militaristisch opkomend Japan en de door hen de verwoestend verslagen Russen. Die conferenties bleken verrassend productief. Het Vredespaleis kwam er. En nieuwe regels voor oorlogsrecht. 3] Sergey Radchenko – To run the world, the Kremlin’s Cold War bid for global power (Cambridge, 2024) De tsaar snakte naar vrede, maar hoe zat dat na zijn ondergang met de heersers in het Kremlin? Sergey vertelt het fascinerende verhaal van de ambities van de Sovjet-Unie en haar leiders na 1945. Over honger naar erkenning door Amerika, over de obsessie met Mao en Deng en over vrede met West-Duitsland om de EEG te breken. Het boek put uit vele archieven en inzichten die hier in het Westen nooit bekend waren. To run the world is ook een boek over duo's: rivalen die partners wilden zijn. Stalin en FDR. Mao en Chroesjtsjov. Chroesjtsjov en JFK. En vooral Nixon en Brezjnev. Met als apotheose hoe Reagan er in slaagde met Gorbatsjov aan de pretentie van zulke duo's een eind te maken en hoe Deng daar het meest van profiteerde. 4] Max Boot – Reagan, his Life and Legend (Liveright, 2024) Dit boek werpt nieuw licht op de oud-president van de VS. Een noodzakelijke biografie. Want in dit post-Reagantijdperk in Amerika en zijn Republikeinse partij is een nieuwe, gedistantieerde kijk op zijn betekenis en leven zeer welkom. “Mister Norm is my alias”, zei de man die voor iedereen óók een ster was met aantrekkingskracht uit de gouden jaren van Hollywood. Niemand kende hem daarom echt, op zijn Nancy na. Hij had politiek succes doordat hij uitermate pragmatisch was, verliezen kon slikken en toch als held van hoge principes en idealisme kon blijven stralen. Zo kon hij bijna moeiteloos het Kremlin als 'the Evil Empire' beschimpen en met Moskou samen de voorraad kernraketten fors verminderen, terwijl hij eveneens hightech fantasieën uit zijn oude films werkelijkheid wilde laten worden. Ook hier realist, pragmaticus en visionair tegelijk: “Trust, but verify!” Zijn verbindende warme stijl en zijn aura van idealisme zorgden ervoor dat hij beginselen als vrijhandel, kansen voor vluchtelingen en immigranten en respect voor bondgenoten glans gaf. In het Trump-tijdperk lijkt Reagan inmiddels iemand uit een vergeten verleden. 5] Anne Somerset – Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers (William Collins, 2024) Meer dan zestig jaar wereldmacht, dynastie, intriges en een flamboyant karakter. ‘She reigns but does not rule’ was volgens Anne Somerset een fraaie verpakking voor heel veel complexe en soms heftige politieke toestanden. Ze versleet maar liefst tien premiers. Ze verfoeide Lord Palmerston - die haar manipuleerde - en William Gladstone nog meer. Ze was dol op haar leermeester, ‘Lord M’, en nog meer op 'mijn coauteur' Benjamin Disraeli. Zij manipuleerden elkaar en genoten er schaamteloos van. Ten diepste was de vorstin gewoon dol op politiek, hoe zwaar ze tegen die heren ook zuchtte en klaagde. Somerset toont nog iets. Victoria was buitengewoon toegewijd. Van haar man, 'darling Albert', keek ze af hoe je focust op de essentie, daarbij desnoods koppig bent en ministers te overrompelt met visies en memo's die al klaar lagen voordat die een probleem zagen aankomen. 6] Jasper Dekker, Alexander van Kessel en Afke Groen (red.) – De minister-president, een ambt in ontwikkeling (Boom, 2025) Buitengewoon instructief is de analyse door Jelle Gaemers van de effectiviteit van Willem Drees als minister president. Voor de opvolger van Dick Schoof essentiële, onmisbare lectuur. Ook de gedurfde poging door Ronald Kroeze tot een eerste summa van veertien jaar premier Mark Rutte maakt de bundel de moeite waard. Op de gedachte dat Rutte wel degelijk visie had, maar deze liefst verborg omwille van het VVD-belang, kan nog wel een tijdje gekauwd worden. 7] Thomas Mann – Achtung Europa! Een eigentijdse waarschuwing (Arbeiderspers, 2025) Thomas Mann - favoriet van Mark Rutte - is 150 jaar geleden geboren. Zijn furieus, literair briljant verzet tegen die auteur van Mein Kampf trekt aandacht, mede dankzij de eerste Nederlandse vertaling van zijn bundel Achtung Europa!. Voortreffelijk hoe Arnon Grunberg daarbij ook de eigenaardigheden van de grote schrijver niet veronachtzaamt. PG haalt nog iets erbij: de eerste druk uit 1938 uit zijn persoonlijke collectie. En nóg zo'n letterkundig juweel, want deze nieuwe vertaling biedt meer voor de lezer - zelfs nu nog - en dat komt uit een ander boek van Thomas Mann. Meest verbluffend is hoe Mann zich durft te verdiepen in en vereenzelvigen met Adolf Hitler. Zag deze zich niet vooral ook als een kunstenaar, een bohemien? Zat in niet elke artistieke geest wat vertekend en duivels verziekt in deze politieke extremist zit? Geen tijdgenoot heeft zo briljant, zo ijskoud en ook zelfkritisch durven kijken naar 'Broeder Hitler', de tiran als verwante ziel. En wat verbindt Victoria, Mann, Rutte, Stalin en Hitler? Operaliefde. In het bijzonder het werk van Richard Wagner. *** Verder luisteren 1] 478 - Was Hitler een socialist? 105 - 75 jaar bevrijding: Dagelijks leven in Nazi-Duitsland 341 - Oplichterij, kunstmatige intelligentie en de dagboeken van Hitler 2] 508 – De NAVO-top in Den Haag moet de onvoorspelbare Trump vooral niet gaan vervelen 481 - Donald Trumps nieuwe idool William McKinley, ‘de tarievenkoning’ 342 - Willem-Alexander en het einde van de monarchie.

“The brain wave is not just a scientific object—it's a cultural one.” – Dr. Caitlin ShureWhat is a brain wave? How “brain waves” became a metaphor for mind control, telepathy, and spiritual resonance. That's the question we explore in one of the most surprising and thought-provoking episodes of the Thriving Minds podcast to date—with science journalist and technologist Dr. Caitlin Shure, whose PhD work traced the strange cultural journey of the brainwave from telepathy and spiritualism to modern neurotech and wellness wearables. Link to Episode #202: Brainwaves, Culture, and the Future of Healing.It turns out this simple question—"What is a brain wave?"—unlocks a much deeper one:What do we really believe about the brain, the body, and our capacity to heal?A deceptively simple question—yet one that opens a portal into 150+ years of science, culture, and imagination.The Rise (and Risk) of Neuroscience/Brain-Based EverythingToday, brainwaves are everywhere—from EEG sleep trackers and meditation headbands to marketing slogans and Instagram therapists. And yet:Most people don't know what a brain wave isMany companies use “neuroscience” language without scientific rigourConsumers are caught between hope, hype, and helplessnessCaitlin and I discussed how this confusion reflects a crisis in our time:

Almost 10 years after getting his Doctorate in Management, Dr. Izzy Justive pivoted towards Neuroscience with the advent of wireless EEG technology that allowed real-time access to brain while performing all kinds of tasks. Since then Izzy has observed 1000s of human performance activities resulting in the creation of a library of patent-pending Neurohacks that allow real-time quick 'cognitive performance boosters' by temporarily reducing distractions to allow high performance in critical moments on an off the golf course. He joins Mark Immelman to discuss his new book, "Your Brain Swings Every Club - Chasing 10Hz," and illustrate how your brain works, and how you can "neurohack" your way to a calm, focussed mind for effortless performance under pressure. Among many topics, Izzy highlights the following: How golf technique gains from improvements in technology are being eroded by over-stimulated, distracted brains How your brain works What is 10Hz, why it is important for peak performance, and how your brain activity spikes and lowers The Human nature to chase after cheap Dopamine hits Izzy's Red, Yellow and Green Scale to measure brain spikes Neurohacks, what they are and how they work, and A "10/10" Neurohack to calm your brain and your mind for improved performance.
