Podcasts about Hebb

Hi listeners!In this episode, I'm diving into 4 neuroscience concepts that will change the way you think and feel. We explore how your brain shapes your reality — often without you even realizing it.You'll hear about the placebo effect (and its lesser-known twin, the nocebo). mirror neurons, and something called Hebb's Law. You will learn how these concepts both help or hinder healing, regulation, and change.Enjoy!Keep connected for early access to offers, workshops (email list) -  https://www.neurospark.co.nz/workshopLightning Process Success Stories:    https://www.neurospark.co.nz/testimonialsLightning Process Application:  https://www.neurospark.co.nz/applicationBook a free call here:  https://calendly.com/neurospark/20min?back=1

You may have heard of the BRAIN Initiative, but in case not, BRAIN is is huge funding effort across many agencies, one of which is the National Institutes of Health, where this recent workshop was held. The BRAIN Initiative began in 2013 under the Obama administration, with the goal to support developing technologies to help understand the human brain, so we can cure brain based diseases. BRAIN Initiative just became a decade old, with many successes like recent whole brain connectomes, and discovering the vast array of cell types. Now the question is how to move forward, and one area they are curious about, that perhaps has a lot of potential to support their mission, is the recent convergence of neuroscience and AI... or NeuroAI. The workshop was designed to explore how NeuroAI might contribute moving forward, and to hear from NeuroAI folks how they envision the field moving forward. You'll hear more about that in a moment. That's one reason I invited Grace and Joe on. Another reason is because they co-wrote a position paper a while back that is impressive as a synthesis of lots of cognitive sciences concepts, but also proposes a specific level of abstraction and scale in brain processes that may serve as a base layer for computation. The paper is called Neurodynamical Computing at the Information Boundaries, of Intelligent Systems, and you'll learn more about that in this episode. Joe's NIH page. Grace's NIH page.

At this week's rehearsal, Pamela Bowen, our manager/videographer, captured a couple more of the tunes that we are considering for inclusion in that new album we hope to start working on later this year.And, without our intending it, the two songs she videoed just happened to share the theme of rainy days and sunny days. That's a hoot, even if it was unplanned.About the SongsThe first song on today's “video extra” is The Flood's take on Bob Dylan's composition “Make You Feel My Love,” which debuted on Bob's Time Out of Mind album in 1997. As we reported earlier, this tune attracted a celebrated following, with covers by Billy Joel, Garth Brooks, Neil Diamond and Adele.It also has a prominent position in “Girl from the North Country,” the Tony-award-winning musical that currently is touring the U.S. The play centers on the music and lyrics of 28 songs Dylan wrote over the past 60 years.The second song on Pamela's video is Randy Hamilton's treatment of the Bobby Hebb classic, “Sunny.” As we wrote earlier, the song that Hebb wrote on that cold November night in 1963 not only sustained his career for a lifetime, but has become one of the world's most beloved jazzy anthems to optimism and joy. Its back story is fascinating.About the GraphicsBy the way, the graphics used throughout today's video are products of Charlie Bowen's new online toy. Have you heard about Google's new ImageFX software?ImageFX is new standalone artificial intelligence image generator that Google released three months ago as part of its AI Test Kitchen. It creates graphics from simple text phrases entered at the prompt, and it's all free. It's a ball to play with. Just type in ideas for a picture and see what it comes up with. For instance, we typed in “heart drawn on a rain-streaked window” and got four variations on this:All the pictures used to illustrate the two songs in Pamela's video were generated by ImageFX. But Back to the Songs….Back to The Flood's studio project, this will be our first new album since Paul Martin put together Speechless in 2021, and it will be the first to feature our newest Floodsters, Danny Cox and Jack Nuckols.We'd love to have your help to planning it. Send us your suggestions — just drop an email to Charlie at designbybowen@gmail.com — and we'll keep you posted as the work continues. This is a public episode.

Welcome to the MAKES SENSE podcast, where we apply the science, art and philosophy of sense making to the things that make you go Hmmm? Those most pressing thoughts and discussions going on in our minds today. The Makes Sense Podcast is an expense free service with the intention of helping you execute on the concept of changing the way you look at things, so that the things you look at begin to change.  Today we'll MAKE SENSE of THE PROGRAM-  That way you think, feel and act? It's not your fault, its your program.   Contact - Dr. JC Doornick - https://zez.am/makessense  SHOW NOTES: As we move further into this new Makes Sense podcast, it's important that I continue to provide you with the base constructs, concepts and language that we will be using in later episodes. This podcast is about you transforming into a more conscious version of yourself so you can begin to see the previously unseen.  My intention in this episode is to expose something to your conscious mind. What makes this challenging is that this thing I want to show you is invisible to you. In fact it often cloaks itself as you. No it's not your ego. In fact, your ego works for it. “I woke up to realize that my perception of reality was not my own but one I assumed, as a result of the information I had been consuming.” - Dragon Stop for a moment and ask yourself this question. Is your interpretation of reality, including the way you look at and respond to things, your own? Or can you acknowledge the outside forces that have played a role in it? Before you say no, can you prove that it's not possible? That the way you perceive, believe and respond are a manifestation of what you have been taught and continue to reinforce everyday with the things you consume with regularity? Welcome to the program. An excerpt from my new book MAKES SENSE, Solving the mystery of why shit happens.  After a life of misfortune and suffering, French artist, Paul Gauguin painted a masterpiece in his dying days while living in exile in Tahiti. Viewed from right to left, it demonstrates the circle of life from birth to death. This powerful piece unveils the deepest mysteries of the human race and is appropriately named. Where do we come from? Where are we? And where are we going?  These questions are the premises upon which we all roam this planet in search of answers as sense-making machines. When we seek the answers to unanswerable questions, we are forced to do our best to fill in the gaps and make sense of things.. In other words, we make shit up. In fact, this is the birthplace of religion, psychology, theories, and science. All representing man's attempt to make sense of things.  Think about that for a second. Whatever it is that represents your foundation for your reality. What's good or bad. Right or Wrong? Just or injust?  Did you come up with that? Well if you came up with it, you are pretty special as most humans are born into this world without knowing these things until they are taught to them.  Why is this important? To recognize that our sense making machines have been programmed and that program is the backbone software that is controlling your hardware and virtual reality suit? Well, for starters, what if it's not accurate? I know you've been sold into the idea that it was. But what if it is not? Here you are doing your best to make the right decisions in life, choose the right path as well as stay on track and follow through with your physical, mental and financial goals. And now we are for the first time noticing a red, check engine light that's been on yet had black tape over it for years. That light, now illuminated, is suggesting that we take a look under the hood at an engine that was built by others with their own intentions for you. Perhaps different than the ones that are actually FOR YOU. It's important here to shift into a curious state of possibility thinking. Why? If you can't justify a reason to rethink or re-evaluate something due to the mere possibility that there may be another truth or better way? The idea of making changes to your regularly scheduled program will seem nonsensical. So in order to experience growth we must be willing to challenge this programming that we have received and become open to a better way. Otherwise, you will find yourself hell bent on protecting and justifying your position on things and that is the life of the herd. The majority. The popular masses that are ok with trying to get into town in a rocking chair. Because they believe in that rocking chair and that rocking chair is part of their core values etc.. This of-course gives rise to the definition of insanity. To add some color to this, it's interesting to look at the characteristics and strategies of scientists. There is no group of humans more open and curious than scientists. Why? Scientists seek the truth and seek facts. The idea of coming across something that improves or debunks their own theories excites them. Because it is the truth they seek and will let nothing deter them from acquiring it. Not even their own theories. So a nice role playing exercise to play in life is that of a scientist. Checking facts and remaining open and curious to better ones.  The Operating System “We seldom realize, for example, that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.” ― Alan Watts If you look into a baby's eyes, you'll see they have little self-awareness. The person one grows into is a mask worn over their consciousness. You'll be surprised to learn that this mask is given to them from the outside in. Once a human becomes awakened, their consciousness begins to penetrate and shine through the mask to see what it sees. Not what it's been trained to see. We come into this world as biologically conditioned structures without a self-image.  However, there is much debate over the idea that we are all born prematurely. This is because a newborn baby's brain is not fully developed at birth. In a perfect world, we'd further our stay in our mother's womb for 15 months. Not a good thing at all for the mom, I know. However, the theory makes sense and unveils our susceptibility to not only learning and absorbing from the outside in. But reminds us that our brains can become permanently wired to accept all that we consume at this early phase as reality. Simply, the way things are. As we grow through life, we face the challenge of increased responsibility for ourselves. Over the next several years, I began experiencing a series of awakenings that unveiled an inefficient operating system that was not moving me forward.  I became aware that I was running a program inside that was unconsciously calling the shots. This program decided what was good or bad, and what I should or should not do. What is interesting about this program is that I was unaware that it was running. I always assumed that I was voluntarily making decisions. Not the case. There was an automatic operating system that would activate in different ways in response to certain happenings, people, and scenarios. The side effects and symptoms of this programmed response system began showing up. For example, I'd find myself overeating, and saying things I didn't intend to friends and family. There was something inside me calling the shots without consulting me. SPONSOR MAKES SENSE ACADEMY: https://www.riseupwithdragon.com/makes-sense-academy  M.F.T.P.S.E. (The Programmers) This brings up a unique challenge. See, once a program has been absorbed, we have a fail-safe defense mechanism to protect it from anything otherwise. Its your number one employee and right hand man. Your ego. A fun analogy to use is one I call The Bouncer: A bouncer stands outside his nightclub with a detailed guest list, checking every ID. The nightclub represents your life and your bouncer controls who and what gets in and who doesn't. That's your trained ego safeguarding and preserving your programmed thoughts, feelings, and concepts labeling and judging everything it perceives. Your bouncer works closely with your VR Suit and decides who and what gets into the nightclub, and it's not open to new ways of perceiving the world. Remember, the bouncer works for you and is just doing its job.  In order to consider reprogramming our intel processor and VR Suit, we must take control of the bouncer. It's like the write-protected switch on an SD card. Your bouncer, or ego, is committed and not open to new ideas. If it is protected, it cannot receive new data. I became intensely curious to identify where I received this inefficient operating system?  Think about it. Whenever we buy a new car or technology, it malfunctions or breaks down. Who do we blame? Yes, the manufacturers. I was already blaming my parents for all my problems, and now I know why. They played a role in programming my operating system by teaching me to adopt theirs. They taught me the good and bad of what they were taught. I bought into it all, as most kids do, and unknowingly started viewing the world through their eyes. But I knew there was more. I couldn't blame or credit them solely for it all. I wasn't consuming and absorbing information from them alone.  Who else is involved in my programming? Like a detective, I began unpacking the files of my past and evaluating where I picked up the thoughts, perceptions and concepts that controlled my mind and VR suit?  My mother. My father. Oh, wait, my teachers and preachers too! Making these observations into my 30's, I recognized that I had spent over 20 years in the box of the education system. Consuming with regularity, the lessons shared by my teachers. We weren't religious, but I sure had preachers in my life. They were represented by those that spoke from a place of being right about things. People that shared concepts over and over again with my vulnerable, neuroplastic mind. Friends, family, and authority figures. I was in school, in and out of synagogues and churches throughout my life as well. Consuming and assuming their uploads were valid. All well-intentioned, I'm sure. But unconscious to the ramifications of me buying into their program. The very nature of mothers, fathers, teachers, and preachers is to nurture, guide, and protect. Some useful, some harmful, but all are well-intentioned. Nobody's perfect, right? So, I couldn't blame them as that would imply that they were at fault. In fact, I've learned through parenting my own children and mentoring others throughout my career, my goal is not to indoctrinate people to believe what I do. Or look at the world the way I do? Mothers, Fathers, Teachers and Preachers often unconsciously push their own concepts of reality onto others to simply validate themselves. If someone buys into what I think, it only validates what I think. Not them. Make sense? Traveling further into my evidence room, and placing all things on my evidence board aka my CRAZY WALL. I discovered other elements at play that were responsible for my own operating system.  Now referring to our programmers as our M.F.T.P.S.E. There's the mother, father, teacher, preacher, society and evolution. The last two being the silent killers. Silent meaning we are often unaware of their influence because we don't consider these things. Remember, that which you consume with regularity, programs your mind and VR suit to assume with regularity. It's hard to register, but society and evolution represent other components of our programming. We are exposed to society daily through interactions, social media and the idiot box. That's what my grandfather called the TV. Throw in the passing on and forward paying of all things our predecessors and ancestors learned through the evolution of man dating back to the days of the caveman. Even though there are no more sabertooth tigers and T Rexes trying to kill us, our stress response systems have been wired to fight or flight in the face of anything that remotely resembles anything from the past. That's right, you've been programmed and continue to  unconsciously consume and, over time, assume its programming. Now, it's become  your operating system.  What's interesting to note is that you've constructed a customized surrounding and strategic perception of society that validates and supports your program. This is known as confirmation bias, where we seek out and favor only the information that supports our existing beliefs. Even in the absence of them being factual. Turning our head from anything and everyone that thinks otherwise. This can lead to an illusion of reality and creates a challenge should you decide to change the way you look at things. Think about those things in your life you call your core values and beliefs? Perhaps the non-negotiables? You might even be known as stubborn or hard nosed?  “The confidence people have in their beliefs is not a measure of the quality of evidence, but of the coherence of the story the mind has managed to construct.”   ―Daniel Kahneman Rock climbers refer to that one hard move in their line that poses the biggest challenge. The Crux! The Crux in reclaiming control of our program lies with the bias we've developed over time to support that program.  Confirmation and cognitive bias is the simplified processing of all information through a filter that references all past experiences and preferences. We use this filter to process perceptions, make decisions, and determine our reality. This cognitive bias can direct our focus on things that others can't see. Typically due to the fact that they are not there to be seen. Outside the realm of logic and rationale. Projecting an augmented version of reality that suits our current needs which prompts us to support that reality by focusing only on the things that confirm it and ignoring those that falsify it. In other words, we make shit up to make our story true. Even in the absence of facts. All of this, going on without you even knowing it. Almost makes you feel like a puppet, no? The programming we've received thus far becomes justified and protected by our bias, or the ego's opinion. You could even say that the ego is the master of puppets. Many refer to Descartes's famous quote, “I think; therefore, I am, " as the fall of civilization. It began a movement that prompted people to address reality and form opinions and reactions based on their thoughts. In his defense, I don't think Descartes knew how much we would be thinking about how susceptible we would be to the repetitive suggestions from our programmers. Our influential MFTPSEs.  It's easy to become wired into the suggestions, opinions, and concepts we consume regularly. “Neurons that fire together wire together.” This principle is known as the Hebbian learning rule; when two neurons in the brain are activated at the same time, they become more strongly connected to each other over time. This process is called synaptic plasticity, and it is the basis for learning and memory formation in the brain. Hebb's theory also proposes that the strength of the connection between two neurons depends on the frequency and timing of their activation. When two neurons are activated at the same time repeatedly, the connection between them becomes stronger. This reminds us of the power of consistency as it leverages these neural connections where memories of the event are formed. This created a situation where people could be led to believe one thing and be close-minded to the possibility of another. Descartes also said;  "Since our senses cannot put us in contact with external objects themselves, but only with our mental images of such objects, we can have no absolute certainty that anything exists in the external world.”  Descartes postulated what he called the “evil demon argument.” This is where he proposed we all live with an entity, a demon, capable of deceiving us. As a result, we lose our inherent ability to process what we see, without doubting its difference compared to what we think. Hmmm. Interesting to think about this concept. That there's an evil demon, or machine, living inside our heads calling shots. As if it is a separate entity, implanted in our brains that controls and coordinates our perceptions and responses? I believe we all inherently feel there is a guest or as i call it, the "little liar,” manipulating us. The concept of the “dark passenger” is widely accepted. We have these preposterous thoughts that cause us to cringe at the very idea of others knowing of them. As Jim Dethmer describes in his drama triangle theory, we place blame on the demon or machine in our head. As if it were placed there by others.  Plato's Cave Plato's allegory of the cave is a symbolic story of how humans learn to interpret reality based on what they see rather than what is. In this story, Plato described a scenario where a bunch of prisoners were constrained by chains side by side in a cave where they were forced to only look at a wall in front of them. With a fire lighting the room behind them, the projected shadows on the wall from people walking behind them, became the only thing the prisoners saw over time. After some time, these shadows became their interpretation of the world and reality.  The allegory looks at our philosophical thoughts of truth and how we come to terms with it and confidently describe it. Not until the prisoners are released can they slowly begin to entertain a new reality. The narrative ponders what would happen once the freed prisoners learned of the new reality outside the cave. First, the assumption was that they would return to the cave and attempt to free the others so they, too, could see the vast new reality. Their following belief was that the prisoners still in the cave would try to kill the messenger threatened by his blasphemy.   Humanity today is not much different from Plato's narrative. We are what we eat, and that's not just with food. The “S” in MFTPSE “society” reminds us of our constant daily consumption. Watch the news regularly and see how your perceptions, conversations, and reactions to everyday life shift. Follow politics or the conflict on the Gaza Strip and see how that affects your perceptions and conversations with others? I spent my whole life consuming and shaping my perceptions with a programmed operating system that I received and confirmed from my MFTPSE. My brain (software) and my VR suit (hardware) became hardwired to my unique way of looking at things. My programming was its manifestation, and my perceptions and responses were not actually mine. Not from my conscious mind but my subconscious programmed mind. I learned later that it represented 95% of the operating system. We program and support our subconscious mind with the repetitive consumption of data. Data from your MFTPSE. If you have a concept and belief system, it was created, molded and confirmed by your consumption. Those learned concepts are running on autopilot and in charge of your life. They say what you see is what you get. I agree. However, is what you get what actually is or just a manifestation of what you see.  Another SNAP moment. It was all becoming clear. I began reviewing clips of every event in my life through a new set of lenses. As if I was in a library using the good old news searching system we used to call microfiche. I had been justifying my reality and potential based on something I bought into. Now? I am progressively waking up and disputing everything. All bets are off and that means that I might be wrong about a lot of stuff. Including my potential and the very resource of potential in the world. When I use the word awakening, I'm referring to the opposite of being asleep. The difference between being instinctively closed, unconscious, and unaware vs. being open and conscious and aware. When you've been programmed, your VR suit (your 5 senses) continues to process, consume and confirm your current operating system. You're unaware of it, and it validates the programming.  This is the same way good and bad habits are created. Practice an activity or consume something for 60-90 days, and you not only become good at it. You become unconsciously competent at it. You don't even know who you are. That's a habit. There's something called the rule of 100. It states that an individual that spends 100 hours a year or 18 minutes a day on a discipline will end up being better than 95% of the entire world at that discipline. This awakening helped me tackle things like losing weight and keeping it off for 18 years. Rather than trying to stop the destructive behaviors, I began looking at why they were even there. We wake up one day to recognize our own inefficient operating system. It happens while running our regularly scheduled program, when some sort of glitch in the matrix pops up that suggests it is not working. We notice the insanity of  our behaviors where we expect different outcomes from doing the same old things. If you don't challenge this and just go with the flow and stay comfortable, the universe has a way of forcing your hand to change. The universe is in full support of your success and fulfillment. Yet if you are sleepwalking through life, it will curb stomp you to grab your attention and make you take a look at things.  Get too comfortable? Fat, lazy, depressed. Move too fast? Divorce, hypertension, anxiety, substance abuse.  I experienced a series of car accidents that forced me to recognize I was moving too fast and to re-access my behaviors, priorities and the underlying reason for their existence. Or when I experienced that SNAP moment, I was forced to see that therapist and learn why I hated my birthdays. I'm sure all humans have these universal offerings that force them to see something and make a powerful distinction. However, if we're not seeking growth. We may miss or ignore them. Disclaimer: It is important to acknowledge that I was seeking growth with urgency at this time.  We all want the same things in life. We want to be Happy-ER, Healthy-ER, and Wealthy-ER. I refer to humans as “seekers of the ER”. However, only those that seek with urgency will follow through and do the work. If you are learning this stuff and not moving into action, that's ok. Your time will come and it will come when you build urgency around it. I was frustrated with my lack of certainty, confidence, and progress at that time. I wanted more and began to engage in personal growth with a specific interest in neuroscience and the study of the human brain and consciousness. I became open and curious about these observations, even while in full survival mode.  This is a lifelong journey, and you're welcome to join me. Are you ready to leave your concept cave? Here's the good news folks. This programmed mind of yours? Demon included. It's completely re-programmable and we're gonna talk about some strategies to execute on that in upcoming episodes and conversations with guests. However, it starts with the awareness and acknowledgement that our perceptions, thoughts and feelings have been persuaded by an outside stimulus which means they may very well not be of our own choice. Here are a few simple practices to begin the process of reclaiming control of your goals, dreams and reality. These practices are not effective by simply knowing them and feeling you understand and agree with them. They must be practiced until they begin to show signs of opening up new alternate beliefs that unveil different possibilities and outcomes of your future potential.  Just say Hmmm?: When you find yourself contemplating yourself in evaluation of your willpower or motivation, just say Hmmm? Not to the thing you are evaluating, but to the very act of generating those concepts of your motivation and belief. Remember the idea of Brain Awareness Perception. Focus on your North Star: Very often when we feel “stuck” and begin contemplating our willpower, motivation and, our belief in ourselves, it's a side effect and symptom of forgetting where you were going and why? When you feel lost and confused, simply look up at the North Star and find your way back home to your goals and dreams.  Practice Patience: A few words missing from most people's 2024 goal sheet are patience , agility, awareness. Again, a side effect of our programmed mind are things like entitlement, impatience and frustration. They easily trigger a contingency plan to abort and move in a different direction. Once the contingency plan is set forth, our program begins to validate the decision to abort with the excuses that demonstrate the concepts of things like self belief, motivation and willpower being precursors to our following through. Saying Hmmm, and pausing your programmed mind will help you practice patience.  Remember. Truly doing the work can be exhausting at first. Not to mention frustrating as there are not too many wins associated with it at first. Making Sense of these distinctions can easily be washed away by your programmed mind and sense making machine as a waste of time if you are not ready. Perhaps showing up as you are telling yourself something like. “Ah, fuck this. We only live once and I don't want to spend my time struggling to move this mountain ahead of me. I want to enjoy my life etc..” My response to you would be “Hmmm?”  If that is going on in your mind right now or later, it's normal and you can feel better knowing that most people will do the same. But right after you feel better because you're not the only one. Ask yourself why only a few individuals sit at the top of the mountain at the table of success, fulfillment and happiness? Then look at your statement of “Ah, fuck this” and see why that is? It's a game I call “DRIFTING and SHIFTING”. Drifting refers to the act of unconsciously falling back into your regularly scheduled program. The one that isn't advancing you towards your desired state. Remember, it's not your fault. You are wired to do this. But if you can learn to simply place a pause on that idea of not following through and retreating to the comfortable place called “known”. By inserting a “Hmmm?” and allow yourself to look at the idea you have from a place of logic and rationale? You'll catch yourself DRIFTING again. See, Drifting is not the problem. Drifting off-course is a normal human behavior. Life gets sticky when you are unconsciously drifting. So catching yourself drifting is where the win is. As it becomes the fertile ground to you SHIFTING. Not only shifting back on course, but shifting into a more conscious version of yourself, that can remember things like the lesson you just heard on Motivation, Self Belief and Timing, and how they are not factors in your success.  It takes what I call PRACTION. A state of practicing being in action. See, you won't be good at this at first. You may find yourself drifting more than shifting. But keep at it. It never gets easy. But it does get easiER. Be well my friends. And remember. If you learned something today? Give it away. That's the only way it will stay. We hope that you will consider paying forward this podcast to your contact sphere. Strike up conversations with them about the topics and you'll find that its when we teach that we learn twice.  Contact - Dr. JC Doornick - https://zez.am/makessense

Ever since it came together decades ago, The Flood has always sought a rich diversity in its repertoire. So late last year when Danny Cox asked, “Has the band ever done the song ‘Sunny'?” he heard an invitation in the enthusiasm of the answer: “No!” Danny worked out the chords, Jack took up the rhythm, we turned the vocals over to Randy, and suddenly the song was in the works. In fact, now it's even picking up fans among the visitors. On this particular track, for instance, Floodster Emeritus Paul Martin happened to be in the room and happily took a ride on one of the choruses. Here, then, is the progress report on Project Sunny.About the SongThe song that soul singer Bobby Hebb wrote one cold November night in 1963 not only sustained his career for a lifetime, but has become one of the world's most beloved jazzy anthems to optimism and joy.Out of GriefBut in truth, “Sunny” was written in response to tragedy. To two of them, actually.The first was a national tragedy: President John F. Kennedy's assassination on Nov. 22, 1963. The second was a deeply personal tragedy. The night after JFK's death, Bobby's older brother was murdered in a knife fight outside a Nashville nightclub.How then, after such grief, did Hebb write a song about bright days and sunshine?“It was dark when I started working on the song,” Hebb told an interviewer years later, “and the sun was rising, and it was a different color. The sky was like purple.”That flash of morning light inspired him. “The president had been assassinated and the very next day my brother got killed,” he said. “Everybody was feeling rather negative at that time, and I think we all needed a lift.”EasyThe song came quickly and easily. “The lyric and the melody came to me at the same time,” Hebb said. “The lyric spoke for itself; it produced the melody. It was just right there, under my fingers. All I had to do was just play it.“I was at the right place at the right time,” he said, “in the right frame of mind. I was ready to receive what was being offered.“'Sunny' is your disposition,” he said. “Instead of confusing and building chaos, let's make this day a nice day for everyone. Spread that type of news, so you can become a little more relaxed and not filled with chaos, because chaos can become a killer.”Pre- and Post-”Sunny”Hebb already was an accomplished guitarist by the time he wrote “Sunny.” Born to blind musician parents in Nashville, Bobby as a child was performing on local television, and in 1950 as a teenager he was invited by Roy Acuff to play on the Grand Ole Opry.As part of a song-and-dance team with his older brother, Bobby sang backup for Bo Diddley, and later he was part of the jazz scene in New York City.But there's success and then there's post-“Sunny” success. Hebb's jazzy tune made it to No. 1 on the Cashbox charts. BMI ranked it at No. 25 in its “Top 100 Songs of the Century.” On the strength of that one song, he even became an opening act for The Beatles' final tour in 1966.Hebb wrote other songs after “Sunny,” of course. The best known was Lou Rawls' 1971 hit "A Natural Man,” co-written with comedian Sandy Baron.Hebb continued to live in his hometown of Nashville until his death at age 72 in 2010.His legacy is “Sunny,” which remains one of the most performed and recorded songs of all times.

In 1950, a new word ‘brainwashing' entered the English language. From the paranoia of the Cold War a new type of Evil Scientist had emerged — the Mind Controller. But was there any truth to the fear?In the 1950s the CIA went to an eminent psychology Donald Hebb and asked him to investigate the possibility. His idea was to test what happened to the brain when it is starved of everything that anchors it to reality. Of anything to see, to listen to, to touch or smell.With nothing to hold onto, will the mind drift loose? Could it be reprogrammed?Dallas's guest today is Charlie Williams, a researcher at Queen Mary University in London who explores the history of brainwashing in the Cold War.Produced by Alex Carlon and Freddy Chick.

Show Notes for Crazy Wisdom Podcast Episode with Subutai Ahmad Introduction The episode features Subutai Ahmad, the CEO of Numenta and a pioneering figure in both neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI). The discussion navigates the complex relationship between the human brain's architecture and contemporary AI models like deep learning systems. Topics range from the historical evolution of these disciplines to the cutting-edge research that could shape their future. Historical Perspective The initial inspiration for artificial neural networks came from our rudimentary understanding of how neurons and connections work, going back to the 1940s. Donald Hebb significantly influenced the back-propagation model developed in the 1980s. Hebb's work, combined with the discoveries of Hubel and Wiesel in the '50s, laid the groundwork for understanding how neurons learn features from the visual world, including edge detectors and higher-level shapes. State of Neural Networks Today Despite advancements, today's neural networks still rely on a simplified model of what a neuron is, and they differ fundamentally from biological systems. One glaring difference is in power consumption; a human brain uses only about 20 watts, while running a deep learning network can require power equivalent to an entire city. Learning Modes and Algorithms Deep learning systems usually operate in two modes: inference and training. In contrast, the human brain doesn't distinguish between these states, learning continuously from environmental stimuli. Algorithms, particularly back propagation, are still part of the problem. They try to minimize error, unlike the brain, which adapts and learns contextually. The Numenta Angle Founded by Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky, Numenta has been researching to understand the principles underlying brain function. Recently, they have focused on applying this understanding to AI. Their approach comprises three main pillars: Efficiency: Using 'sparsity' to mimic the brain's efficient use of connections. Neuron Model: Incorporating the complex nature of neurons for continuous learning. Cortical Columns: Employing a standardized neural circuitry model to replicate intelligence. The Road Ahead For the future, Subutai discusses the need for AI systems to be autonomous and embodied, suggesting that agency and embodiment are crucial aspects of intelligent systems. He also touches on the importance of including elements like neuromodulators and even explores the potential role of quantum physics in neural processing. Conclusion We are in a transformative era where AI is far from being fully realized. Organizations are still trying to grasp how to incorporate these technologies effectively. However, the future is promising, especially with interdisciplinary approaches like Numenta's that blend neuroscience with AI, focusing on understanding the brain's core principles to improve AI's capabilities.

You know at The Spark File, we are not afraid to contemplate our own mortality, especially if doing so enhances our lives and our creativity. According to the author, Michael Hebb, “Of the many critical conversations we will all have throughout our lifetime, few are as important as the ones discussing death—and not just the practical considerations, such as DNRs and wills, but what we fear, what we hope, and how we want to be remembered.”On this week's episode of The Spark File podcast, Susan and Laura dig into these critical conversations, aided by Hebb's book, “Let's Talk about Death over Dinner.”Pull up a chair and we'll serve you up a delicious and substantial dialogue that will increase your end-of-life awareness and just might magnify your celebration of LIFE!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.24.529863v1?rss=1 Authors: Ecker, A., Egas Santander, D., Bolanos Puchet, S., Isbister, J. B., Reimann, M. W. Abstract: Recent developments in experimental techniques have enabled simultaneous recordings from thousands of neurons, enabling the study of functional cell assemblies. However, determining the patterns of synaptic connectivity giving rise to assemblies remains challenging. To address this, we developed a complementary, simulation-based approach, using a detailed, large-scale cortical network model. Using a combination of established methods we detected functional cell assemblies from the stimulus-evoked spiking activity of 186,665 neurons. We studied how the structure of synaptic connectivity underlies assembly composition, quantifying the effects of thalamic innervation, recurrent connectivity, and the spatial arrangement of synapses on dendrites. We determined that these features reduce up to 30%, 22%, and 10% of the uncertainty of a neuron belonging to an assembly. The detected assemblies were activated in a stimulus-specific sequence and were grouped based on their position in the sequence. We found that the different groups were affected to different degrees by the structural features we considered. Additionally, connectivity was more predictive of assembly membership if its direction aligned with the temporal order of assembly activation, if it originated from strongly interconnected populations, and if synapses clustered on dendritic branches. In summary, reversing Hebb's postulate, we showed how cells that are wired together, fire together, quantifying how connectivity patterns interact to shape the emergence of assemblies. This includes a qualitative aspect of connectivity: not just the amount, but also the local structure matters; from the subcellular level in the form of dendritic clustering to the presence of specific network motifs. This connectivity-based characterization of cell assemblies creates an opportunity to study plasticity at the assembly level, and beyond strictly pairwise interactions.

I AM NOT - 3 DANGEROUS WORDS BLOCKING MONEY & WEALTH  I AM NOT  I am not is an admission that I am not good enough to earn more money.  I am not is an admission that I cannot create more financial abundance.  I am not is an admission that I am not enough.  I am not is an admission that I am not smart enough, qualified enough, capable enough. I am not is an admission that you're not worthy of living a life of freedom and options.  First, here's a list of 5 high achievers with major reasons to doubt their own potential:  1.  Richard Branson, dyslexia and ADD.  2. Henry Ford, illiterate, elementary education.  3.  Thomas Edison was kicked out of the school when he was only 12 years old and that was because people believed that he was too dumb. He faced difficulties in learning mathematics when he was still in school and it became hard for him to speak and pronounce words. All of these things happened because he suffered from dyslexia. 4. Ludwig van Beethoven - best composer in history. He gave his first public performance as a pianist at the age of 8 years. At the age of twenty, he gained fame all over the world as a great pianist. In 1796, began losing his hearing. Despite of this problem, he immersed himself in his work and he created some of the music history. He achieved different milestones despite being completely deaf for the last 25 years of his life. 5. Vincent Van Gogh suffered from depression and was admitted to psychiatric hospital. His problem continued to worsen over tine and on July 27, 1890, at the age of 37 he shot himself in the chest. - Additionally, I am not is blasphemy to everything we know about psychology, neuroscience, and religion, especially in relation to MONEY. So we'll start with psychology, hit neuroscience, then end with Religion and Spirituality… 1.) Psychology - this is what is called “assuming an identity.” Psychologists have relayed to us for years that our own self-image determines much of the quality of our life, and the results we create for ourselves. Your self-image is a collection of the ideas you hold about yourself that you believe to be true. For example, “I AM NOT.” Not good enough, not young enough, not smart enough for XYZ…  2.) Neuroscience - 50 years ago we didn't know that your brain actually responds to emotions and life circumstances. Your emotions literally get wired into your brain via “Hebb's Law.”  3.) Religion -   - “Those who have more will be given, to those that do not have even that which they have will be taken away.”  ✅  FREE SUCCESS HYPNOSIS - click here to download my free success hypnosis to reprogram your subconscious mind ➡ https://www.jakeducey.com/hypnosis

During this very candid episode, I sit down with seasoned registered nurse Morgan Hebb, who opens up about the harsh realities of standardized health care. Her years in a hospital setting and clinicals (NP degree in progress) have opened her eyes to the system's downfalls, and how quality care is truly hard to find. She explains that there are amazing people threaded throughout the system, but that the system itself is purposefully broken due to one main, overarching goal: PROFIT. She goes into detail about how insurance dictates the average patient experience, how overprescribing meds is a massive health crisis in itself, and how providers simply do not have the tools or the time to dedicate towards educating patients on preventative wellness.Morgan answers a few listener questions, gives us her opinion on what it takes to actually become your own health advocate, and even provides a few amazing resources on how to research providers that take on a more integrative, functional approach to medicine.While there is definitely a place for Western medicine, she very honestly reminds us that it is not in our best interest to be dependent on the system, and that optimal health and well-being cannot be outsourced. Resource for finding a practitioner: https://www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner/ Resource for finding a practitioner: https://bastyr.edu/practitionerShow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/well.with.vanessa/Vanessa Lopez on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegiftofgoods/Vanessa's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thegiftofgoodsEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comSupport the showThis episode is for informational purposes only.

Generations Over Dinner is designed to alleviate ageism and loneliness by encouraging different generations to go deep at the dinner table. Learn how the founders joined a think tank of leaders in the aging space to create a turn-key program that any individual or senior living community can implement. About Michael Michael Hebb is the Founder of Over Dinner (Death Over Dinner, Drugs Over Dinner, Generations Over Dinner) and the author of Let's Table About Death (Over Dinner). He currently serves as a Board Advisor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts, is the primary editor of the COVID Paper; and in the recent past served as a Partner at RoundGlass and Senior Advisor to Summit Series, Theo Chocolate, CreativeLive, Architecture For Humanity, and Mosaic Voices Foundation. In 1997 Hebb co-founded City Repair and Communitecture with architect Mark Lakeman, winning the AIA People's Choice Award for the Intersection Repair Project. In 1999 Michael and Naomi Pomeroy co-founded Family Supper in Portland, a supper club that is credited with starting the pop-up restaurant movement. In the years following they opened the restaurants clarklewis and Gotham Bldg Tavern, garnering international acclaim. After leaving Portland, Hebb built Convivium, a creative agency that specialized in the ability to shift culture through the use of thoughtful food and discourse-based gatherings. Convivium's client list includes: The Obama Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, TEDMED, The World Economic Forum, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Clinton Global Initiative, X Prize Foundation, The Nature Conservancy. Key Takeaways Generations Over Dinner is the framework you need to have the experience. The turnkey program includes nine dinner scripts with three primary topics: love and relationships, purpose, and the future. Senior living communities can have their own Generations Over Dinner secure platform where they can plan dinners and invite residents and their kids, grandkids, and friends from outside the community. Loneliness is not alleviated by having more conversations or by being around more people. It is only alleviated by having high quality conversations and real connection.

Cell assemblies, as proposed by Donald Hebb, are groups of neurons that have something to do with concepts; they bridge the gap between the psychological and the biological. In this episode I introduce and explore Hebb's cell assembly theory using Christian R. Huyck and Peter J. Passmore's article “A Review of Cell Assemblies” (Biological Cybernetics, 2013).Article links: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00422-013-0555-5 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236114295_A_review_of_cell_assemblies

In this podcast, Dr. Sarah Raskin uses her hippocampus to recall what ignited her interest in neuropsychology. She walks us down memory lane and explains why she chose Johns Hopkins University for her B.A. in Behavioral Biology and the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center for her Ph.D. in Neuropsychology. She also discusses her ReMIND Lab, her recent research, and offers practical advice to those interested in getting a graduate degree in neuropsychology. From the time she took her first class with David Olton called Physiological Psychology, Dr. Raskin was hooked. During our discussion, Dr. Raskin revealed that she actually teaches the same class now at Trinity College, but it is called Brain and Behavior. Continuing our walk down memory lane, she recalls jumping at the chance to enroll in Dr. Olton's newly created program called Behavioral Biology which Dr. Raskin believes might have been “one of the very first programs in what we would now call Neuroscience.” Ever since then, she has been enthralled with blending psychology and neuroscience. Apparently, she is not the only one as more and more fields of study are now incorporating a component of neuroscience or psychology (or both) into their lines of research. What is clear during my discussion with Dr. Raskin is her love for her students, her research, and her career at Trinity College. She states “I really fell in love with Trinity” because “…it felt like the right fit for me. It felt like a life where I could be happy.” Dr. Raskin is the Director of the Neuroscience program at Trinity College, and she has a joint appointment (half neuroscience and half psychology), so she is always thinking about increasing awareness of both programs and how to help students. Therefore, it was no surprise to me that she offered practical advice to those interested in psychology or neuroscience throughout our discussion. In fact, she took a few minutes to highlight how the neuroscience program at Trinity College is really unique. Dr. Raskin explains how neuropsychology is different from the other branches of psychology. She also discusses the ReMIND Lab and some of her recent work on prospective memory and the tests she and her colleagues created specifically to measure this concept. Dr. Raskin and I then highlighted some of the organizations and resources available to those interested in neuropsychology including APA Division 40: The Society for Clinical Neuropsychology, International Neuropsychological Society (INS), KnowNeuropsychology, the upcoming NEURON Conference 2022, and the ReMIND prospective memory training page. One of Dr. Raskin's favorite theories is Hebb's rule and Hebbian theory from 1949. The idea that learning something new actually changes your brain physiologically, at the synaptic level, way before anyone could test it, was “so prescient.” Near the end of the podcast interview, Dr. Raskin revealed that she is writing a book on what she is conceptualizing as preventable brain injuries. She is Co-writing each chapter with someone who has lived the experience. For example, one chapter is with a woman who had a severe brain injury from domestic violence, and it includes her medical history, personal history and experiences, and her neuropsychology assessment. Another chapter is with a man who experienced a gunshot wound to the head. Given Dr. Raskin's passion and drive, I am sure the book and remaining chapters will be powerful and moving. Connect with Dr. Sarah Raskin: Twitter | Facebook | LinkedInConnect with the Show: Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn https://vimeo.com/667013727 Interests and Specializations Dr. Sarah Raskin's research focuses on better understanding neuroplasticity and its applications in creating cognitive interventions for people with brain injury.

What does neuroscience have to do with the work of the analyst? It turns out that neuroplasticity is to the modern analyst what plastics were to Benjamin Braddock, and it all comes down to Hebb's Law. Or, put another way, successfully working with peers and stakeholders can take some focused effort, some feedback, and some practice, and that's what "coach" James Hayes joined the episode to discuss!

Have you ever wondered what music therapists do? Have you thought about how they help their patients? Have you wondered how they effectively manage patient outcomes? In this episode I was lucky enough to interview Caitlin Hebb, MT-BC, Neurological Music Therapy Fellow. She shares with us her experiences as a music therapist and how her work can help her patients improve mobility, balance, and function! Caitlin will tell us what she does and how she works with her patients. Welcome to the show Caitlin!

Thinking about or asking what you're grateful for activates certain neural circuits that produce dopamine and serotonin, the neurotransmitters that regulate our pleasure centers and mood levels. They then travel the neural pathways to the “bliss” center of the brain, much like a prescribed antidepressant. The more you stimulate these neural pathways, the stronger and more automatic they become, and the more your resilience and calm become a natural way of living.

Hoe ga je om met je gedachten? Waar komt die stem in je hoofd vandaan? Kan je hinderlijke gedachten stoppen - gewoon omdat je dat beslist? Kan je nieuwe gedachten leren denken? Hoeveel gedachten denkt een mens eigenlijk op een dag? Het antwoord op deze en andere bedenkingen in deze aflevering over zwarte en gekleurde gedachten, omdenken en het inlopen van geitenpaden. Extra bronnen: Tseng & Poppenk konden via fMRI achterhalen of hun proefpersoon nog bezig was met het denken van een gedachte of overging naar een volgende, zij konden deze overgangen identificeren - en vonden zo een gemiddeld aantal gedachten van 6200 per dag. Hun onderzoek is veelbelovend want in de toekomst willen ze onderzoek verrichten om te begrijpen of het aantal gedachten zou variëren met de leeftijd, ook hoe snel we overgaan van de ene op de andere gedachte en willen ze deze methode ook gebruiken bij verstoorde gedachten in bijvoorbeeld schizofrenie of versnelde gedachten bij manie of ADHD.

Neuronen die samen worden aangevuurd, vormen neurale netwerken. Gedachten en ervaringen of emoties die vaak samen voorkomen, vormen daardoor sterke associaties (olifantenpaden): in de wetenschap heet dat de wet van Hebb. Hier lees je er meer over.

Dr. Simon Stringer. Obtained his Ph.D in mathematical state space control theory and has been a Senior Research Fellow at Oxford University for over 27 years. Simon is the director of the the Oxford Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence, which is based within the Oxford University Department of Experimental Psychology. His department covers vision, spatial processing, motor function, language and consciousness -- in particular -- how the primate visual system learns to make sense of complex natural scenes. Dr. Stringers laboratory houses a team of theoreticians, who are developing computer models of a range of different aspects of brain function. Simon's lab is investigating the neural and synaptic dynamics that underpin brain function. An important matter here is the The feature-binding problem which concerns how the visual system represents the hierarchical relationships between features. the visual system must represent hierarchical binding relations across the entire visual field at every spatial scale and level in the hierarchy of visual primitives. We discuss the emergence of self-organised behaviour, complex information processing, invariant sensory representations and hierarchical feature binding which emerges when you build biologically plausible neural networks with temporal spiking dynamics. 00:00:09 Tim Intro 00:09:31 Show kickoff 00:14:37 Hierarchical Feature binding and timing of action potentials 00:30:16 Hebb to Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) 00:35:27 Encoding of shape primitives 00:38:50 Is imagination working in the same place in the brain 00:41:12 Compare to supervised CNNs 00:45:59 Speech recognition, motor system, learning mazes 00:49:28 How practical are these spiking NNs 00:50:19 Why simulate the human brain 00:52:46 How much computational power do you gain from differential timings 00:55:08 Adversarial inputs 00:59:41 Generative / causal component needed? 01:01:46 Modalities of processing i.e. language 01:03:42 Understanding 01:04:37 Human hardware 01:06:19 Roadmap of NNs? 01:10:36 Intepretability methods for these new models 01:13:03 Won't GPT just scale and do this anyway? 01:15:51 What about trace learning and transformation learning 01:18:50 Categories of invariance 01:19:47 Biological plausibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aisgNLypUKs

BCHL Commissioner Chris Hebb says if the latest COVID-19 restrictions aren’t lifted on December 7th, the BCHL will push the start of the season to the New Year to allow players to spend the holidays with their families.

BCHL Commissioner Chris Hebb says after speaking with Dr. Bonnie Henry & coming up with a plan to play hockey, the BCHL had to live with the fact there wouldn’t be fans in the building. Chris also says players will wear full face shields, & be kept in cohorts to make contact tracing easier.

It is bewildering how some memories grip us for life, whereas others completely disappear. It turns out, the brain creates and eliminates these memories. What are the neural mechanisms behind memory formation? Discussed in this episode: Pioneers in neuroscientific memory research, Donald Hebb's influential postulates on memory in the brain, Eric Kandel's work confirming Hebb's postulates, the ground-breaking case of H.M.'s surgically-induced amnesia, the neural mechanisms of memory formation, where memories are stored in the brain, and optogenetic research on memory manipulation.   Further reading: Matthew Cobb, "The Idea of the Brain: A History" (Profile Books, 2020).   https://www.insightfulthinkersmedia.com/

Parents often reach out to me to ask how they can support their perfectionist children, who can't seem to cope with failure. I've been on the lookout for someone to talk with us for a while, but just as with our episode on anxiety (https://yourparentingmojo.com/captivate-podcast/anxiety/), it took quite some searching to find an expert who doesn't take a behaviorist-based approach - meaning that if the behavior is fixed, the problem is fixed too. I was really glad to find today's guest, Dr. Paul Hewitt, who is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Hewitt has spent decades researching perfectionism and recently received the Donald O. Hebb award for his distinguished contributions to psychology as a science by the Canadian Psychological Association. He is currently doing research on the treatment of perfectionism, and trains clinicians in the treatments of perfectionistic behavior. In this interview, he tells us what we know about perfectionism, what we still don't know, and how to help our children who have perfectionist tendencies. [accordion] [accordion-item title="Click here to read the full transcript"] Jen 00:03 Hi, I'm Jen and I host the Your Parenting Mojo Podcast. We all want our children to lead fulfilling lives. But it can be so hard to keep up with the latest scientific research on child development and figure out whether and how to incorporate it into our own approach to parenting. Here at Your Parenting Mojo, I do the work for you by critically examining strategies and tools related to parenting and child development that are grounded in scientific research and principles of respectful parenting.

I do hope you'll join us.   Jen 01:01 Hello, and welcome to the Your Parenting Mojo Podcast. Today we're going to look at a topic that bubbles up fairly often in online parenting groups, and that's related to perfectionism. The typical post goes something like this, my child starts an activity but as soon as something doesn't go exactly the way they hope to maybe a crayon wasn't the color they wanted, or they extended a mark too far on the paper. Or they got an answer wrong on a quiz for school. They screw up the paper in a ball and throw it away. And when this happens on a regular basis, it just seems debilitating. How can I help my child to overcome this now while they're still young, so it doesn't have a big impact on their life?   Jen 01:39 And I was actually in the library a while ago looking for books on another topic for another podcast episode and right next to the one I was there to get was an edited volume on perfectionism. And inside was an essay by our guest today Dr. Paul Hewitt. And when I read that essay, and I delved into his body of work, I knew he was exactly the right guest to speak with us.   Jen 01:59 Dr. Hewitt works mostly with adults. But just as we learned when we covered anxiety a few months ago, it can be really difficult to find someone to interview who doesn't just focus on treating the symptoms of the problem, and instead goes beneath the symptoms to understand the real causes, which is what Dr. Hewitt's work does so effectively. Dr. Hewitt is a professor of psychology, and a registered clinical psychologist who has conducted extensive research on the construct of perfectionism, which is the idea of what perfectionism actually is, and whether it's harmful to people. He's currently doing research on the treatment of perfectionism and trains clinicians in the treatment of perfectionistic behavior. Dr. Hewitt received his BA from the University of Manitoba, his M.A.,...

Michael Hebb is an innovative and influential cultural figure, entrepreneur and activist, described by the New York Times as an “underground restaurateur, impresario and provocateur.” He believes that the dinner table is one of the most effective (and overlooked) vehicles for changing the world. After teaching a University of Washington graduate course titled Let’s Have Dinner and Talk About Death, Michael started Death Over Dinner. This project was created as a gift, an invitation and a simple set of tools to help families and friends address the basic human fact that we are all, at some point, going to die. We suffer more when we don’t communicate our wishes, we suffer less when we know how to honor the wishes of our loved ones.  -- Michael is a partner at RoundGlass and the Founder of Deathoverdinner.org, Drugsoverdinner.org, EarthtoDinner.org, WomenTeachMen.org and The Living Wake. He currently serves as a Board Advisor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts; and in the recent past as Senior Advisor to Summit Series, Theo Chocolate, Learnist, Caffe Vita, CreativeLive, Architecture For Humanity, and Mosaic Voices Foundation .  In 1997 Hebb co-founded City Repair and Communitecture with architect Mark Lakeman, winning the AIA People's Choice Award for the Intersection Repair Project. In 1999 Michael and Naomi Pomeroy co-founded Family Supper in Portland, a supper club that is credited with starting the pop-up restaurant movement. In the years following they opened the restaurants clarklewis and Gotham Bldg Tavern, garnering international acclaim.  After leaving Portland, Hebb built Convivium/One Pot, a creative agency that specialized in the ability to shift culture through the use of thoughtful food and discourse based gatherings. Convivium's client list includes: The Obama Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, TEDMED, The World Economic Forum, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Clinton Global Initiative, X Prize Foundation, The Nature Conservancy. Michael is the founding Creative Director of The City Arts Festival, the founder of Night School @ The Sorrento Hotel, the founder of www.seder.today and the founding Creative Director at the Cloud Room. He served as a Teaching Fellow at the Graduate School of Communication at University of Washington. His writings have appeared in USA TODAY, GQ, Food and Wine and numerous other publications. Michael can often be found speaking at universities and conferences, here is his TEDMED talk. 

Michael and I spend some time talking about how to create spaces to have conversations about death, even with young people. He shares his story about some painful childhood experiences he went through that propelled him into this work and how he believes that the kitchen table can be a transformative space to have difficult conversations. He shares techniques, including the way we invite people to this conversation, that make it more possible for people to talk about death. He also shares his new venture, EOL.community, which he describes as an "itinerary" for death, not leaving anything up for last-minute decisions. EOL.community provides all of the necessary tools, services and products one needs to plan for death, much of which is FREE! To connect with Mr. Hebb, reach out to him on EOL.community. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Cal talks with the author of Let’s Talk About Death (Over Dinner) at just the right time – prior to watching his first funeral over Zoom. Cal’s questions about death, the coronavirus and our country’s health lead to a very unexpected place: a way of using Hebb’s thought-provoking conversations about death as a different kind of vaccine against COVID 19.  These conversations could lead to a change in our thinking and our behavior, and actually protect us. Cal plans to listen to this back and forth again. Please, get the most out of it.

BCHL Comissioner Chris Hebb joined Matt Sekeres and Blake Price to discuss the BCHL's plans for a December 1st start. The league is hoping that is the date where there is a good chance the season won't be shutdown midway through.

BCHL Commissioner Chris Hebb says the league and the BC government are working together on when the league can return for the 2020-21 season. Chris says in their detailed proposal to the province, they have included things such as reduced arena capacity, players wearing full face shields & pushing back the start of the season.

In the 1940's Daniel Hebbsaid, "Neurons that fire together, wire together."   Hebb was describing how we build connections in our brain. Essentially how habits form and learning embeds itself.   As we are being reminded during this pandemic, #weareinthistogether. We are all connected in the good and the bad. The stronger and healthier our connections, the better the outcomes.   Podcast Tip:  because what fires together, wires together, our identity and our future is being shaped or reshaped by our choices.   Right now, in this unique time and place we must stop and consider where we are putting our attention and intention.   The hint for next week: I coulda, shoulda    THREE WAYS TO CONNECT WITH ME  LINKEDIN - https://ca.linkedin.com/in/impactbank Listen to my Signature Story: BIG WHY STORY  - on my website Book a complimentary Exploratory Conversation  https://RoxBartel.as.me/ Subscribe to my newsletter to receive my insights in your inbox each Wednesday.

Stephen Curtis, PhD is a Clinical Psychologist with a doctorate in Neuroscience Experimental Psychology. He specializes in Performance Psychology with professional and college athletes, musicians, and corporate leaders to help them reach their highest levels of performance.  Steve is the author of the proprietary Clarity Survey which has become a business research best practice instrument with Fortune 500 companies. Clarity uses common language answers to detect what consumers and employees consider their ideal CX and EX experiences, and in so doing, it offers tremendous insights for business leaders.  In this episode, we focused on the ways in which our brain literally changes as we reinforce particular behaviors, as described by Hebb’s Law, and the enormous benefit of neuroplasticity. We also discussed the impact that BHAG’s (big hairy audacious goals) have on the frontal polar cortex of the brain and how it’s those monstrous goals that engage our imaginations, emotions, and as a result, our behaviors.  Most importantly, Steve shared with us one of the greatest tips for life and work: practicing how to calm yourself. This was a terrific insight that upended years of rehearsing for musical performances and business presentations with a critical message: spend more time practicing how to be calm in uncertain situations.  © 2020 Behavioral Grooves  Links Connect with Kurt and Tim:  Kurt Nelson, PhD: @WhatMotivates  e-mail: kurt@lanterngroup.com  Tim Houlihan: @THoulihan  e-mail: tim@behavioralchemy.com  Lantern Group: http://lanterngroup.com/ BehaviorAlchemy: https://www.behavioralchemy.com/ Behavioral Grooves: https://behavioralgrooves.com/ Weekly Grooves: https://weeklygrooves.podbean.com/ Common Biases & Heuristics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XHpBr0VFcaT8wIUpr-9zMIb79dFMgOVFRxIZRybiftI/edit# Patreon Site for Behavioral Grooves: https://www.patreon.com/behavioralgrooves   General Coronavirus Info:  Daily Newsletter Summarizing data from Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security: http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/newsroom/newsletters/e-newsletter-sign-up.html CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Great videos on the science behind this by Dr. Peter Attia – this is the first in a series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNVhLyAlfA4 What is herd immunity?: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/615375/what-is-herd-immunity-and-can-it-stop-the-coronavirus/ A list curated by Liam.Delaney@UCD.ie  https://docs.google.com/document/d/11GLhX7hLf64Bxkdpv5hvYHqOjS1imlcMQFjJBJ-9oUM/edit   Coronavirus & Behavioral Science:  Selected Links: The Behavioral Sice of Coronavirus: https://behavioralscientist.org/selected-links-the-behavioral-science-of-the-coronavirus-covid-19/ Why no one is reading your coronavirus email: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/13/opinions/coronavirus-emails-effective-messaging-rogers/index.html Handwashing can stop a virus, so why don’t we do it?: https://behavioralscientist.org/handwashing-can-stop-a-virus-so-why-dont-we-do-it-coronavirus-covid-19/ The behavioral science of handwashing: https://think.ing.com/articles/the-behavioural-science-of-hand-washing/  Ideas 42: The Behavioral Side of COVID-19 here: https://ideas42.org/covid19/  Greater Good: https://twitter.com/GreaterGoodSC   How We Can Cope During This Crisis:  Tip Sheet from HUMU: https://humu.com/remote-nudges/ Resources for learning at home: https://fordhaminstitute.org/national/commentary/resources-learning-home-during-covid-19-school-closures?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=etcetera   General Behavioral Science Links:  Common Biases and Heuristics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XHpBr0VFcaT8wIUpr-9zMIb79dFMgOVFRxIZRybiftI/edit# Jonathan Haidt – 5 Moral Foundations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory Annie Duke’s “How To Decide”: https://www.amazon.com/How-Decide-Simple-Making-Choices/dp/0593084608 “16 Ways To Promote Hand Washing With Behavioral Science” article by Aline Holzwarth: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alineholzwarth/2020/03/25/handwashing-with-behavioral-science/#261b4b9f768d Aline Holzwarth’s Playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0H5fsQRrqslGdBhhx8d4Aw?si=0jra0rU1Qu2vQNtqjbRvZA Deontological and Consequential Moralities: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethics-deontological/#DeoTheKan Difference between descriptive and injunctive norms: https://psychology.stackexchange.com/questions/6193/whats-the-difference-between-injunctive-norms-and-descriptive-norms Emotion Research from FinalMile: http://finalmile.in/research/ Pandemic Playbook from FinalMile: https://www.playbookforpandemic.com/  

BCHL commissioner Chris Hebb says that the league's franchises rely on ticket gate revenue and the sponsorship dollars, and that right now with no games happening and the sponsorship drying up, some of the league's franchises could be in dire straits.

BCHL Commissioner Chris Hebb says the players were devastated but acted with ultimate professionalism when they found out about the season cancellation. Chris says they are using this down time to take an opportunity to think outside the box to make the BCHL even better.

In 1966 The Rolling Stones were not the giants that they would come to be in the rock world, but their third album, Aftermath would start their transformation. While their two previous albums had consisted of a significant volume of cover songs (much like the Beatles' early work), Aftermath would be the first album with all original material, primarily written by Mick Jagger and/or Keith Richards, and is considered the group's breakthrough album. Brian Jones would be a multi-instrumentalist on this album, though the estrangement from the rest of the band was already beginning to set in. He would leave the band in 1969, and die a month later at the age of 27.Brian walks us through this feature and breakout album from one of the greatest groups of the rock era. We hope you enjoy this mid-60's session. Paint it BlackThis track opens the US version of the album. As the title suggests, it is a dark, minor key song. It deals with depression, and the feelings that the individual has that he wants the world to reflect his own dark mood.Stupid GirlThis deeper cut has been used as an example of misogyny in the music of the Stones, and it is easy to see why. The inspiration is said to be Mick Jagger's rocky relationship with model and actress Chrissie Shrimpton, It's a pretty venomous, with lyrics like "It doesn't matter if she dyes her hair, or the color of the shoes she wears. She's the worst thing in the world. Well, look at that stupid girl."Lady JaneAnother deep cut, this song might be about Jane Seymour, third wife to Henry VIII, and lady in waiting to Anne Boleyn, the executed second wife of Henry VIII.Under My ThumbThis is their biggest hit off the album, and if you're looking for proof of male chauvinism in The Rolling Stones, this would be it. "It's down to me, the way she talks when she's spoken to. Down to me, the change has come, she's under my thumb." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:The theme to the television series “Ultraman” This Japanese science fiction/monster series came to the US with English dubbed in. The show would spawn multiple adaptations over time. STAFF PICKS:“Hungry” by Paul Revere and the RaidersWayne's staff pick was produced by Terry Melcher. Melcher worked with a number of groups including The Byrds and was a session musician on The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" He was introduced to ex-con and aspiring musician Charles Manson through Beach Boy Dennis Wilson. Later on, the Manson Family murders would take place in the home in which Melcher had been living, and which had recently been rented to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate. Melcher believed that Manson wanted to kill Melcher when Sharon Tate was killed, and went into hiding. "Hungry" and the Manson murders made it into the film "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood." “Sunny” by Bobby HebbRob features a constantly covered classic. Hebb wrote "Sunny" in the days after the JFK assassination and after his older brother Harold was killed. He channeled his grief into a positive direction in writing the lyrics and music of this song - looking for a brighter day.“Cool Jerk” by The CapitolsBruce's staff pick from the Detroit trio was based on a dance craze called "the jerk" A particularly sexual version was known as "the pimp jerk," but the band didn't think that name would make it onto the airwaves. Instead, the called it "cool jerk." You may be more familiar with the version by The Go-Go's. It also made an appearance in "Home Alone 2."“Everybody Loves a Nut” by Johnny CashBrian features The Man in Black taking a more comedic turn. This was off his 23rd album of the same name, consisting largely of novelty songs. This one was written by Jack Clement COMEDY TRACK:"They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haa!" by Napoleon XIVYou may have heard this on Dr. Demento. The original came out in 1966.

BCHL Commissioner Chris Hebb joins Matt and Blake to give an update to the changes that are coming to the BCHL, including the fact the league is moving to two conferences. Chris says this change puts the league in a position for further expansion down the road.

One night in 1631, pirates from the Barbary coast stole ashore at the little Irish village of Baltimore and abducted 107 people to a life of slavery in Algiers -- a rare instance of African raiders seizing white slaves from the British Isles. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the sack of Baltimore and the new life that awaited the captives in North Africa. We'll also save the Tower of London and puzzle over a controversial number. Intro: In 1999, inventor Allison Andrews proposed dividing all our pants in half.

We cover a little bit of everything. Hebb’s background, the SHS season, and who he likes playoff wise. We had a good time, hope you enjoy!

How do we want to die? Few conversations we have throughout our lifetime are as critical as those about death. But according to Michael Hebb, co-founder of the end-of-life awareness campaign Death Over Dinner, it’s a conversation we’re not having often enough. Hebb pulled up a chair at Town Hall to share advice from his book Let’s Talk About Death (Over Dinner), offering keen advice about these conversations that ranges from spiritual to practical to downright funny and surprising. Hebb met with award-winning photographer Chase Jarvis, and together they offered us a chance to cast an unflinching eye at the end of life. Hebb and Jarvis encouraged us to transform the seemingly difficult conversation about death into one of deep engagement, insight, and empowerment. Join Hebb and Jarvis for an evening that transforms one of the most universally difficult conversations into a celebratory and meaningful opportunity—and explore ways to change not just the way we die, but the way we live. A few renowned NW musicians will be joining these speakers and singing their favorite death-themed songs. Expect to hear from singer songwriter Kaylee Cole, Luz Elena (Y La Bamba) and friends. Recorded live at The Collective by Town Hall Seattle on Thursday, October 11, 2018.

Jim Goetz Chantea Goetz Dr. Michael Brandon   After our usual disclaimers, we discuss the wonderful services offered at Functionised Integrative Therapeutics (F.I.T.). To relieve pain and become healther from a genetic level, visit Functionised Integrative Therapeutics and make an appointment TODAY!!!   Biohacking Flat Feet By Dr. Michael Brandon   In general, people love shoes, and it's evident by the number of pairs that we have in our closets and the price we pay for them. We make our choices of which shoe to buy based on the brand, features they may have, and even simply just how they look. Unfortunately the reasons why we pick out a specific pair, many times are also the exact reasons that we shouldn't be wearing them.   There has been a plethora of research out recently showing the benefits of slipping off the shoes and walking around barefoot, especially outside. Being barefoot regularly improves our gait and foot kinematics, and well as strengthens and prevents damage to all of our joints, not just in the lower extremity. Firstly, it's well known that flat hard surfaces aren't the best for us, and most of us can go all day without ever even touching the ground. We go from our home's floors, to the side walk, pavement, and then more hard floors at work. Let alone the fact that our shoes, are still just hard flat surfaces! The ground isn't flat, and it has a spongy give to it that makes us use the intrinsic muscle of the foot to stabilize as we move.   Then, when we are barefoot, our feet get to feel and be aware of the environment to help with balance and decrease the risk of injuries like ankle sprains; this is called proprioception. It's also been shown that as we age, our feet anatomically and functionally change shape compared to habitual barefooters. Shoes confide our feet into small areas and constrict the movement, especially laterally, of the tarsals and metatarsals.   Most running shoes brag about having a thick sole and heel for comfort, and this as well has been shown to create a negative impact. A big difference in running between barefooters and those who routinely wear shoes, is that when we run, shoe runners have a predominate heel strike, that is landing with their heels, where as barefooters tend to land with their forefoot. The issue here is that with heel striking, there is a 7x increase in the impact on the foot, and that is with the cushioned sole. The thick sole actually promotes heel strike, so though it may be more comfortable, its causing more damage of the lower extremity. Barefooters have a much lighter impact while running with forefoot strike because now the calf and lower leg is used as a shock absorber and uses that to propel us forward as opposed to taking the impact in the inch thick sole, ankle, and mid foot which can damage the medial longitudinal arch and promote a “flat foot” as well as increase the impact of the knee, hips, and low back.   Something interesting is that those who typical don't wear shoes, keep that decreased impact even on hard surfaces. So the myth that hard surfaces are bad, isn't as true as first thought; it all depends on the kinetics of your gait.   Though just walking and running around barefoot can help increase the strength of the foot, there's a quick 5 minute exercise protocal that can be done which has been shown to strengthen the feet, and help to both prevent and heal issues such as ankle sprains, shin splints, and flat feet. Below is a case study that was performed on these 6 foot drills.   Hello Biohacker Nation! Today is all about the foot. Roughly 1 out of 3 of us have at least 1 flat foot and it's believed that it can lower balance ability and increase the likelihood of various injuries like ankle sprains, knee, hip, and back pain. We ran into the lab to see if we could biohack a way to a less flat foot using a few simple drills that was taught to me by Dr. Russ Ebbets, D.C.   They were done every day for 1 month, bare foot in the grass and doing all 6 of them took roughly 4 minutes each day. They are meant to strengthen the foot to rebuild the fallen medial longintudinal arch which is characterisitc of flat feet (also known as Pes Planus). These foot drills consist of simply walking up to 80ft 6 times with slightly different foot positions on each pass. The foot positions are walking: 1) on your heels 2) on your toes 3) on the onside edge of the foot (Inverted) 4) on the inside edge (everted) 5) with toes pointing inward 6) toes pointing outward Here is a quick sample of what they look like when done while marching in place:   PHOTOS AND VIDEOS AVAILABLE AT BIOHACKHUMANS.COM So what do these results mean? With my case study, both of my feet became slightly less pronated after the drills with the right one having a larger change. The 2 of them equalizing by the end of the study at 24 degrees. Good start, but the evidence on the importance of this mild at best, but there was a change noted. By week 3 I could feel while walking that the right foot was turned in more (less pronated and more supinated), so the measurement change was no large surprise. With the Navicular drop test, the avergae person has the bone drop by about 0.6cm and most literature on the topic agrees that 1cm or more of a drop declares a flat foot. My results show that both feet had a positive change by 0.3 cm and the left foot even dropped below the 1cm mark showing a significant change for both feet. Next, the foot pressure evaluation. What we are looking for is to have no areas of high pressure (dark red) showing that it is evenly distributed across the foot. With a “perfect” foot, weight should be evenly distributed from the heel, to the whole outside edge until it gets to the “knuckles” or balls of the toes with no high pressure areas seen. The post foot drill scan showed a change heavily into that desired weight pattern. So what does all of this mean? Did I fix my flat feet? Not completely, but all signs show that both of my feet noticeably improved, and again, this was only done for 1 month. What if this is done for 3 months straight? 6 months? A full year? If someone is trying to increase their bench press, they never stop after one month, but expect a strength change by then, and that is precisely what these drills have done for my feet.This appears to be a good way to strengthen the foot and rebuild the fallen arch, instead of just constantly wearing orthotics for the rest of one's life. ​So final thoughts? These foot drills were fast, easy, free, and work! I liked them before and now that I began to see results in such a short period of time, I think they're a fantastic way to help one's foot health. I plan to continue these drills indefinetly and BioHack my feet literally 1 step at a time “Flat Feet More Common Than You Might Think.” Cbslocal.com, 2013, baltimore.cbslocal.com/2013/06/13/flat-feet-more-common-than-you-might-think/.

Being the best at anything on this planet is awesome! Being the fastest on earth is pretty cool. Being the strongest on earth is also cool. But cross fit is a sport that is a combination of the biggest, fastest and strongest all into one. Cross Fit is a sport that measures pure athletic ability. It is athletic ability at it's most raw state. To be the top baseball player in the world, you have to spend countless hours honing your talent and skills to be able to pick up a ball, react to it's movement and future location and move the bat swift and powerful through that path of the ball. It's a learned skill. Cross fit is simply pure and unadulterated athleticism. What does Cross Fit have to do with BioHacking? Everything!!! As seen in our article on exercise, it's now common knowledge that humans were meant to move. We were hunters and gatherers turned sedentary by our own technology and laze. In order to unlock the utmost in human performance, we must move. Cross fit is movement. Doing it properly will enhance long term ability of movement and health. Doing it improperly will assure injury and poor daily performance. Perhaps the greatest Cross Fit athlete to date has been Rich Froning. He won the Reebok Cross Fit games in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and then retired from the open competition and won the team competition in 2015 and 2016. He could be considered the Babe Ruth of Cross Fit. He says that he does not adhere to any strict nutrition regimen and works out multiple times per day. On the surface, it makes him appear to be some alien or someone on insane amounts of HGH or steroids. While allegations in the sport are rampant, I do not think the latter is entirely the case. How then does he not burnout if he participates in multiple workouts daily? Cross Fit incorporates multiple elements of training from high intensity interval training (HIIT), Olympic lifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, girevoy, calisthenics, strongman elements, swimming, and middle distance runs. It literally incorporates the training elements of all sports and combines them into one. But training for Cross Fit competitions must be done in a manner that allows the competitor to be at their strongest and not fatigued or broken down in any way.  ​A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research entitled "Crossfit-based high intensity power training improves maximal aerobic fitness and body composition" followed 54 participants for 10 weeks of CrossFit training. The study said that "...a notable percentage of our subjects (16%) did not complete the training program and return for follow-up testing." The authors said "This may call into question the risk-benefit ratio for such extreme training programs..." This study resulted in a lawsuit by Cross Fit against the NSCA, to which this article and company will not touch with a ten foot pole. The purpose of mentioning this is the idea of overtraining as could easily occur in Cross Fit's WOD (workout of the day) without any variation would appear that burnout could easily happen. Even worse, the disease of rhabdomylosis is present within the sport. This is the breakdown of muscle tissue due to exercise exertion.  Remember that most studies show positive benefits of exercise are achieved through moderate exercise. Cross Fit is a tad bit more than moderate.  On the positive side, Cross Fit has been proven to lead to dramatic gains in fitness in a very short period of time.  So let's take a BioHacker's perspective to this sport to be the fittest you can be and perhaps for one of the few of you, the Fittest on Earth.  First, we must avoid injury. Second we must perform to the highest of our ability while training the body to adapt to changes in exercises while simultaneously experiencing gains whereas the result is an increase in athletic strength and conditioning.  In order to achieve this we must ensure adequate rest, recovery and proper adaptation to the program we participate in. The human body is extremely resilient in how it adapts. The body will adapt to the stresses put upon it. Repetitive and reasonably intense stimulation strengthens the nerve impulse to the muscles involved, creating greater muscular strength and endurance. However, I did say, "reasonably intense". If the stress is too much and too fast, the body will break down resulting in injury.  Another concept to become successful in Cross Fit is practice. Movements such as Olympic lifting, muscle ups, kip up pull ups, rope climbs and the such take coordination and skill. The Hebbian theory is a neuroscience theory that is best summarized by Siegrid Löwel's phrase: "Cells that fire together, wire together." Yes, perfect practice makes perfect. In order to continue to progress while as the same time rest, it's best to follow a technique called, Periodization, as written about by Tudor Bompa. This technique "mixes it up" while allowing an athlete to peak at the right time. As with Cross Fit one may have to peak over the course of a few days; proper implementation of this will allow for success.  As there are multiple types of periodization (linear, daily undulating and block), using the right one  or a combination thereof is crucial. This will allow for increases in performance while allowing the body to rest and recover. Working with a highly trained strength and conditioning coach who is fluent in this is suggested.  Nutrition is key to recovery as well. Without the right ratio of nutrients, the body cannot properly recover and improve. I will get more into this in what will most likely be future BioHacker Talk entries.  If done right, Cross Fit can be a fun and enjoyable way to challenge yourself and achieve new heights of fitness. If done wrong, it can be a miserable way to the hospital. BioHacking is more than simply taking a pill for a specific purpose and hoping for a biophysiological change. BioHacking is habits and ways of doing things differently than you have done before. Following the proper principles and progressing properly along with adequate rest and nutrition are key to your biohacking success. Who knows, perhaps you may be the next one to be recognized as, "Fittest on Earth". ​​ #BioHackHumans #BioHacker #edtech #BioHackthePlanet #crossfit #sixpack #fitness #training #playground   References 1.

It’s the consistency over a long period of time where you really start to see the breakthrough. In this episode of Nat Chat, I’m joined by Nasos Papadopoulos. Nasos attended Oxford University, where after a while, realized that being on the path with finance and economics just wasn’t for him. He took a long break to travel and explore new opportunities, eventually getting into meta-learning and the science of learning. He started the site Metalearn.net where he educates other people on learning more effectively and efficiently. He also has a popular podcast and a course on the topic, all focused on helping people get better at learning. Nasos is an excellent guy to learn from for those wanting to learn more effectively and efficiently, stay motivated, and getting to know their learning strengths and weaknesses. We cover a wide range of topics, including: What Nasos has learned by focusing on learning how to learn The niche and lesser-known aspects of learning The fixed and growth mindsets and their impact on learning Figuring out your own learning strengths and weaknesses Applying Hebb’s Law and becoming more self and other-aware Overcoming the sunk cost of highly investing in the wrong area And much more. Please enjoy, and reach out to Nasos on Twitter!

Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike has arrived from Bob Lake, because he cares about you! Hypnothoughts Live is nearly here! It’s the best hypnosis conference on Earth. Mike wants to talk about …but Chris interjects that his attention span is next to zero. (No kidding! He didn’t let Mike finish what he was saying!) Television used to be black and white with slow scenes and character development. It’s all about focus, folks! Does acetaminophen really reduce empathy? Apparently, if you take it, you just don’t care! Mike keeps trying, but somehow, just can’t seem to care! Microexpressions are not being judged accurately and we are saying goodbye to the power of mirror neurons. If we stop caring about each other…what kind of therapists will we be? Chris used to read 1,000 word articles, but something’s gone horribly wrong. Even Mike’s not immune (gasp!) It takes a couple of days for Mike’s brain to slow down. Switching on and off like a crazy monkey! It’s like a drug, and Chris is onto something… Mike studied neuroscience and gives the example of coffee and the brain beginning to expect it. It’s the same with stimulation from images. Chris talks about mental fasting, which is really clever. Beware of word whiskers! English is extremely precise. Use it like a tool…you know? The filler phrase attack! Nice one Chris!!! Mike coughs like a lunatic from the tickle created by laughing. Like? The one that drives Mike insane, although “I mean…” is even worse. So anyway…   Anyway has a legitimate purpose as a recentering phrase. Please don’t say “Yada Yada Yada” or yeah…no…yeah…now… You know what? We have to stop talking about this. Let’s put an end to word whiskers! Awareness is the first step! It’s okay to pause! Chris’ Dad is doing a horrible throat sound whisker. Mike brilliantly invokes Gus Grissom. He goes on to explain the elderly woman’s horrible musical sound whisper: “Uh…hmm…mmm…” Mike is actually beginning to annoy himself! Hypnosis is an enhancing of focus. What a great definition! Focus created a throbbing thumb… The Reticular Activating System again! You can tune it. Mike used the RAS to find The Peterkin Papers again… The Engineer speaks! The brain is tuned by wanting the book and presenting it to conscious awareness. Mike and Chris are NLP people. The Magic Number 7  +/-  2 By putting stuff in your environment to remind you of your focus, it helps bring it into being. LTP is long-term potentiation…leading to permanency through Hebb’s Law. Mike bought a camera and camera advertisements appeared everywhere… MTV in the 1980s with Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles led to lack of attention! Lack of growth in a cancer is good! Mike talks about being at effect rather than being at cause. The 4 Love Languages Reprise… We all need things in the foreground to habituate connexions… You can use focus to help relationships too! “Uh…hmm…mmm” Mike admits to a rare relational error and actually apologized. When we ask you an empowering question it enables you to step outside the situation with a new focus… When things go wrong, someone’s lost track of the target state! Refocus, people! What would you like to have happen? (Thanks David Grove) Mike’s Word of the Year is back to Alacrity! Flow did not work for Mike. It made him way too laid back. Mike hits Chris in the solar plexus, purely for his own amusement. Mike says that Chris’ word Strength “will kick in at some point”, which is hilarious! Empowering Question: In what area of your life is focus lacking, and what will happen when you re-engage it today? Empowering Metaphor: The missing memories… Mike’s Introduction to Ericksonian Hypnosis 2 day class at Hypnothoughts Live is SOLD OUT!!! Note: The November 13 – 17 Architecture of Hypnosis training at the University of Toronto is already half full! Book now or wait until May 2018 for the next one! Clickhere for details! Our first UK training is also coming up in November! It’s a hypnosis Master Class, so come on out!

After listening to a video by Dr. Joe Dispensa, in which he mentioned the old quote from Dr. Hebb, "Nerves that fire together wire together!" Dr Rubin asked the class, "What is stopping you from being successful in your future?" He then asked, "How many have written goals?" and was saddened to see only half raised their hand. "You must be successful," he implored, "for two reasons: first off… Why not you? You deserve it! And more importantly, because every time you're not successful, a child suffers because you didn't adjust them!"

Drengirnir dágóðu dútla við hvorn annan í drykklanga stund og þræta um hvort er betra, meyja eða ljón? Hvor sé verri, Batman Forever eða Batman & Robin? Hvor er meira sexist, myndasögubransinn eða tískubransinn? Þetta og margt fleira í Hebb! Nenn! Dumm!

Welcome to Episode 77 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! Mike has been dubbed “The King of the Hypnotic Kingdom”, which Chris admits is fairly lame. But we couldn’t be bothered to come up with anything better, so it’s settled.  Mike is King. Today’s podcast is all about how laughing relates to hypnosis and our interview guest is the incredible Texan hypnotist, James Hazlerig. Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you! Here are the show notes for this episode: Only one show left, the massiter branch of the facial nerve, and he’s not black! This show’s about laughter, so Mike has revived the Guinea Pig Laugh! Mike is way more British than the average Brit, and he’s got Irish blood too. Also some Iberian, and Viking DNA. Mike’s wife has the black DNA that Mike wanted, all the way from Benin Africa. James Hazlerig from Austin Texas is on the show by invitation! It’s all about the power of laughter and the Little Book of Laughnosis, so Mike does the Guinea Pig Laugh again. So this doctor in India started it all with Laughter Yoga. They told jokes until they ran out, but found a connexion with Pranayama (Yogic breathing) Imagining lemons causes salivation, so why not make laughing noises, which they did.  Chris attempts to tie Clark Hull into it all, but quickly gets lost in his own meanderings. Amy Cuddy did the Ted talk about body positions and standing like a super hero. When you decide to laugh or even smile, you release endorphins, serotonin, etc. Mike quotes Richard Bandler and the drugs our bodies produce. James says that laughter is the orgasm of smiling. We edit it out, but he’s right, damn him! Oxytocin, the bonding chemical hits too. Meetings in the morning? Oh…I get it. Dogs get oxytocin too. Cats probably couldn’t care less. Dogs have owners and cats have staff. James leads laughter yoga classes! Chris says it’s infectious, but means contagious. Hence the laugh tracks on comedies. Laughter makes us love other people! Even other people in restaurants. Mike finds this to be hilarious. Transcendence! We don’t take laughter seriously enough. Mike tells James about his insane laughter game. You have to laugh like a psycho! Play the laughter game when you’re out with your friends. It’s hilarious! Make sure you tell us what happens… Chris is a self-confessed “personal drug dealer” and references Tim Ferris. Drugs change your brain! So does meditation, playing music, laughter… Unconditional intention laughter affects your brain because of Hebb’s Law: Neurons that fire together, wire together. James is honest. He’s a naturally depressed, angry, anxious person. Mike ties the laughter in with Architecture of Hypnosis class. Laugher produces positive states for any purpose, even exercising. Chris makes a connexion with trampolines and laughter. Mike responds by quietly doing the Guinea Pig laugh again. Bilaughteral Stimulation anyone? Let’s fire both brain hemispheres, children…Listen to the result… You can even do this quietly while lying in bed! Tap and laugh: Thighs, stomach, chest, head, sky… The frequency climbs! Mike nearly has a stroke from laughing. Chris’ wife is upstairs and we all wonder if she’ll think we’ve gone crazy given all the laughter. She found it to be unfunny when he told her later that he’d put her in the podcast. Mike admits to buying The Three Stooges Ultimate Collection. He’s going to do James’ stuff first. Chris says “Who needs booze?” James and Mike think he’s gone too far. Laughter bypasses the Critical Faculty! Let’s reprogramme those minds, folks! Chris begins reading aloud from James’ book. He indirectly takes shots at people from Newfoundland and also blondes, but he’s quoting a study referenced in James’ book, so it doesn’t count. Get out and buy The Little Book of Laughnosis by James Hazlerig, available at Amazon! Empowering Question: How will you include intentional laughter in your life today, and how will it change your life? Ending: The Spunky and Beezer Show!!! Insist on Shyzjigg!

Unconditional Love (Rob Hebb) 05 Oct 2014 by Vineyard Pine Rivers

Eric explores rumination and how damaging it can be to our mental health. What is it? What's the difference between rumination and self reflection? Hebb's Law and the role it plays in rumination. How to escape rumination. Rough Transcript: A few weeks ago I was at one of the local meditation centers and people were doing walking meditation. There was a guy walking incredibly slow and everyone was backing up behind him because no one but a disabled snail can move at that pace. So people weren't doing walking meditation they were standing and looking at this guy with a grouchy look on their faces. So I decided to stop him and explain that no one else could enjoy the meditation experience and it would be helpful if he could go just a bit faster. A few minutes later we sat back down for sitting meditation and my mind began racing. Should I not have said anything? Was I rude? Was this guy angry? So I decided that when we got up I would go over to him and explain myself and make sure we were good. Problem solved….except not for my mind. On and on it went re-playing the scene and thinking about the upcoming conversation. This is commonly know as rumination or brooding. Rumination is the compulsively focused attention on the symptoms of one's distress, and on its possible causes and consequences, as opposed to its solutions. Rumination is generally considered differently than self-reflection. Self-reflelction tends to offer new insights wheras rumination is just playing the same negative thoughts and feelings over and over. You will never plow a field by turning it over in your mind- Irish Proverb The challenge with rumination (or brooding) is that it feels like we are doing something about the issue or problem by continuing to think about it and ponder it. However rumination is extremely destructive and has been strongly linked to deep depression and anxiety. In fact a The UK's biggest ever online test into stress, undertaken by the BBC's Lab UK and the University of Liverpool, has revealed that rumination is the biggest predictor of the most common mental health problems in the country. The tricky thing is that worry and rumination can seem essential part of coping effectively. The idea of letting go of rumination and worry can be frightening. The ironic thing is that rumination tends to increase anxiety and effectiveness in problem solving goes down as anxiety increases. In addition a mind that ruminates becomes more likely to continue to do it. We have talked on the show about how we create pathways in our brain that become every easier to fall into the more reengage them. This is not a fanciful idea or silly positive thinking. Neurosccience has something called Hebbs Law. The phrase, “neurons that fire together wire together”  The meaning of Hebb's axiom is that each experience we encounter, including our feelings, thoughts, sensations, and muscle actions becomes embedded in the network of brain cells, that produce that experience. Each time you repeat a particular thought or action, you strengthen the connection between a set of brain cells or neurons. Think of it like taking a walk in the woods. Your thoughts are like hikers. The first hiker has to blaze her own trail. But over subsequent trips a trail gets worn in to the ground and more and more hikers will take that trail. The more hikers that take the trail the clearer it becomes and the more likely that future hikers will take it. It takes much more energy to go off the trail. Our brains work the same way, there is a need to conserve energy. Our brains use about 25% of the body's total energy so the brain is going to default to the neural circuits that take less energy. So it's important to determine whether we are ruminating or problem solving.  If the thinking does not lead to a course of action within a reasonable period it is probably rumination. Back to my story above, the first few minutes while I thought about the situation and came up with a plan of action was useful self- reflection and problem solving. Everything after that was useless rumination. in our interview with Dan Harris he talks about the difference between useless rumination and what he calls constructive anguish . The question he asks himself is “Is this useful?”  If it doesn't lead to meaningful effective action then it is useless rumination. If we are ruminating the most important thing is to come to a hard stop. As soon as the ruminative thought begins – that one that doesn't lead to new insights but is the same path – you immediately have to distract yourself with something that requires concentration. The key at this point is to stop the cycle. We have to stop the brain cold, we need to stay off the path. So anything that distracts us and requires concentration will work. Play a game, solve a puzzle, anything is better than the rumination. So a quick summary, brooding is the process of playing negative thoughts and emotions over and over. It is also extremely destructive. It is a key indicator of depression, anxiety, high blood pressure and heat disease. We need to interrupt the brooding as soon as it begins. The best way to do this is to immediately switch the brain to something that requires concentration.

Ob Lernen oder Plastizität, die Hebb´sche Synapse ist eines der wichtigsten Prinzipien zwischen unseren Ohren – sie kann erklären, wie unsere Neurone kooperieren, an deren Ende (auch) "wir" stehen. Ziemlich selbstgesteuert, übrigens.
