Podcasts about hyperconnectivity

Fredrik talks to Barry O'Reilly about software architecture. Barry has spent a lot of time and energy connecting software architecture to actual code and development work, and finding good ways of actually training new generations of software architects. Architecture is a level above programming, it is a different skill, and it needs to be properly taught so that more people can think and make active decisions about it. Oh, and architecture happens at a group level. You can't really do it alone. Barry's quest led him to complexity science, a PhD to actually prove his ideas hold up, and two books. The idea that you have to understand what goes on in the code in order to do good architecture is more controversial than one might think. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

I have an awesome and beautiful podcast for you today from Dr. Elisha Goldstein—founder of the Center for Mindful Living in Los Angeles, CA, along with his wife, co-founder Stefanie. They do incredible work there and this interview was one of the best discussions I've had for this show—and it will stop all us distracted, multitasking, text binging, social media addicted modern humans in our tracks and rock our world!  We all know the dangers and drawbacks of hyper-connectivity and distractibility, and our diminishing focus and mindfulness in hectic modern life, but we seem to be collectively shrugging our shoulders, complaining a bit here and there, and carrying on, glued to our devices. My visit with Dr. Goldstein had a deep impact on me, because he explained beautifully how our repeated use of technology gets integrated into habit. We have engaged in “intentional practice and repeated it until it becomes automatic–until it becomes habit.” We often talk about habit-forming in a positive context, but what about undesirable, stress-producing behaviors that have become habits to our detriment? We know that humans are wired to respond with a dopamine burst to novel stimulation in our environment; in primal times it was a rustling in the bushes, today it's the ding of text message. Dr. Goldstein explains that he too loves technology and while it can improve our lives in many ways, we have to be mindful and disciplined in our use of technology. In this episode, we discuss the difficulty of transforming to a new way of being because of the powerful force of habits and Dr. Goldstein explains how we can take control and experience more happiness and peace in daily life through three simple steps. Remember, habit retraining requires repetition and endurance. Dr. Goldstein has written books like Uncovering Happiness, The NOW Effect, Mindfulness Meditation, MSBR Every Day stands for (mindfulness based stress reduction). He operates the Center for Mindful Living in Los Angeles with his wife Stefanie. They offer an awesome six-month intensive online Course in Mindful Living with expert guidance and group support. Slow down, relax, and listen carefully to this show.   TIMESTAMPS: Practicing mindfulness has brought tremendous peace to many who desperately need escape from the stresses of today's life. [00:43] We are constantly pulled in many directions. [04:36] Hyperconnectivity can become a habit and therefore hard to control. [12:17] If you stop to rest or meditate, you might be inspiring the folks around you to take a break too. [16:08] Our behaviors are contagious to other people. [19:21] Learn to take note of when your body is bracing. [24:25] It is helpful to have some disciplined activity, especially first thing in the morning. [28:35] Peeling an orange changed Dr. Goldstein's life. [33:34] The brain is always on the lookout for issues that can cause problems.  [36:04] Blame is often misdirected when we have uncomfortable emotion. [38:20] Learn to really pay attention to yourself and others. [41:50] We are addicted to stimulation. There is surprising power of waiting/boredom.  Imagine if you mastered restlessness and anxiety.  [46:47] When you are relaxed, you are more open to inspiration. [51:55] Learn to forgive yourself for not doing something that you had intended to do.

Electronic technology is proliferating to new, creative applications and appearing in our everyday lives. To compete, system companies are increasingly designing their own semiconductor chips and semiconductor companies are delivering software stacks, enabling optimization across software and hardware for the substantial differentiation of their end products. This trend started in mobile devices and is now moving into cloud computing, automotive, and other areas. Hyperconnectivity and generation of zettabytes of data increase the importance of application-specific optimization of the silicon performance in the context of the system, as well as the system itself across the boundaries of hardware and software, analog and digital, and electrical and mechanical. In addition, many companies are including intelligence in their systems, providing services and convenience not seen until now. To know more about this and decode the whole technology behind Intelligent System Design for chips listen to this podcast.  #TechGig #Podcasts #IntelligentSystemDesign #Technology #TechCommunity

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.26.550646v1?rss=1 Authors: Amaya, I. A., Schmidt, M. E., Bartossek, M. T., Kemmerer, J., Kirilina, E., Nierhaus, T., Schmidt, T. T. Abstract: The thalamus is primarily known as a relay for sensory information; however, it also critically contributes to higher-order cortical processing and coordination. Thalamocortical hyperconnectivity is associated with hallucinatory phenomena that occur in various psychopathologies (e.g., psychosis, migraine aura) and altered states of consciousness (ASC, e.g., induced by psychedelic drugs). However, the exact functional contribution of thalamocortical hyperconnectivity in forming hallucinatory experiences is unclear. Flicker light stimulation (FLS) can be used as an experimental tool to induce transient visual hallucinatory phenomena in healthy participants. Here, we use FLS in combination with fMRI to test how FLS modulates thalamocortical connectivity between specific thalamic nuclei and visual areas. We show that FLS induces thalamocortical hyperconnectivity between LGN, early visual areas and proximal upstream areas of ventral and dorsal visual streams (e.g., hV4, VO1, V3a). Further, an exploratory analysis indicates specific higher-order thalamic nuclei, such as anterior and mediodorsal nuclei, to be strongly affected by FLS. Here, the connectivity changes to upstream cortical visual areas directly reflect a frequency-dependent increase in experienced visual phenomena. Together these findings contribute to the identification of specific thalamocortical interactions in the emergence of visual hallucinations. Copy rights belong to original authors.

During this episode, Jes Diverges shares a little about her AuDHD journey, the lessons she has learned along the way (and in her current relationship), as well as the work she is doing to help other neurodivergent folks. (Please excuse the technical difficulties we had for the first few minutes of the episode...thanks!) Some of the topics Jes addresses include: Knowing where your partner is, accepting who they are, making space for them and not trying to fix them. The importance of understanding that you're not responsible for anyone's emotions but your own. Looking at differences as important for the relationship. The importance of two people working to cultivate the relationship. Co-dependency and enabling leads to encouraging dependency. Interdependency and how both partners have autonomy and connection and this helps encourage mutual growth and well-being. When a supportive partnership looks like "co-dependency" to the outside world. The value of active listening and appreciation of effort. Don't compromise your core values. "Shoulds" aren't healthy. Determine what you are willing to accept. Lowering expectations in a positive way can help reduce anxiety. The importance of the "flow state" for autistics and how it helps with regulation. How "monotropism" helps explains a lot of autism. Hyperconnectivity and less neural pruning in neurodivergent brains. The importance of making transitions smoother. Sticky hand thinking. Jes is a coach and is creating the "Combo Meal Confidence Course" to help other neurodivergent people live their best, most authentic lives. You can reach Jes at: jes@jesdiverges.com.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.29.534836v1?rss=1 Authors: Carrette, L. L. G., Kimbrough, A., Davoudian, P. A., Kwan, A. C., Collazo, A., George, O. Abstract: Chronic nicotine results in dependence with withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation of use, through desensitization of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and altered cholinergic neurotransmission. Nicotine withdrawal is associated with increased whole-brain functional connectivity and decreased network modularity, however, the role of cholinergic neurons in those changes is unknown. To identify the contribution of nicotinic receptors and cholinergic regions to changes in the functional network, we analyzed the contribution of the main cholinergic regions to brain-wide activation of the immediate early-gene FOS during withdrawal in male mice and correlated these changes with the expression of nicotinic receptor mRNA throughout the brain. We show that the main functional connectivity modules included the main long-range cholinergic regions, which were highly synchronized with the rest of the brain. However, despite this hyperconnectivity they were organized into two anticorrelated networks that were separated into basal forebrain projecting and brainstem-thalamic projecting cholinergic regions, validating a long-standing hypothesis of the organization of the brain cholinergic systems. Moreover, baseline (without nicotine) expression of Chrna2, Chrna3, Chrna10, and Chrnd mRNA of each brain region correlated with withdrawal-induced changes in FOS expression. Finally, by mining the Allen Brain mRNA expression database, we were able to identify 1755 gene candidates and three pathways (Sox2-Oct4-Nanog, JAK-STAT, and MeCP2-GABA) that may contribute to nicotine withdrawal-induced FOS expression. These results identify the dual contribution of the basal forebrain and brainstem-thalamic cholinergic systems to whole-brain functional connectivity during withdrawal; and identify nicotinic receptors and novel cellular pathways that may be critical for the transition to nicotine dependence.

Whether you like it or not, social media is a pretty omnipresent part of our life. It's here, and it's here to stay. So it makes good sense to figure out how to engage with it in a way that supports us and makes us feel good. And based on Erin's recent Instagram polls (oh, irony), this is currently not the case for many. In today's episode, Erin examines how she has been feeling about social media, which seems to be part of the collective felt experience – for creators and consumers alike. We're calling this one a “think piece” because it's designed to do just that – get you to think about your consumption AND evaluate: How does this make me feel? And do I want to change? From there, we can incorporate that data into actionable steps. Erin rounds out this discussion with strategies to redefine how you engage with social media, including ways to bring more intentionality, presence and appreciation into your consumption (and creation!). This conversation is relevant whether you're a content creator, consumer, an educator, someone looking to be educated, a business owner, a parent/caretaker…or some mix of all of the above.

As Jim says, “Copywriting is my superpower.” He's the author of several fictional books, including Minor King and Mongoose, as well as a non-fiction tribute to man's best friend, Gone Dogs: Tales of Dogs We've Loved. Jim is one of the most honest and kind people I know. I hope you'll enjoy our conversation. Find out more about Jim at Quick Like Mongoose. RIP, Nathan Richie.

Timothy Wilcox (@PreCursorPoets) is one of my my favorite writers on contemporary literature. He joins me to discuss three very online novels published in the past year or so: Hari Kunzru's Red Pill, Lauren Oyler's Fake Accounts, and Patricia Lockwood's No One is Talking about This. He shares his thoughts on the genre of internet fiction and the evolving phenomenon of "hyperconnectivity" as manifest in literary texts. We also consider the complicated interaction between the temporality of fiction and the temporality of the internet, the outsized role of Donald Trump in recent internet novels, and recent writers' attempts to channel and appropriate the dark energies of the internet. https://www.precursorpoets.com/always-online-prelude/ https://www.precursorpoets.com/uninterrupted-connection-infinite-grace/ https://medium.com/arc-digital/writing-the-great-american-novel-in-the-age-of-meme-warfare-273006eb85de

Recent research suggests that functional connectivity changes may be involved in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders. Hyperconnectivity in the default mode network has been associated with psychopathology, but psychedelic serotonin agonists like psilocybin may profoundly disrupt these dysfunctional neural network circuits and provide a novel treatment for psychiatric disorders.

Assistant Professor Subhajit Datta Civilization, as we know today, runs largely on software. Software intensive systems underpin almost all aspects of our lives – serving our communication, transportation, healthcare, education, entertainment, and many other needs in myriad ways. The development of software as a large-scale industrial artefact has some distinct characteristics. These are accentuated in the current age of pervasive connectivity between individuals and systems, as well as data generation and preservation at scales never seen before. We are therefore at a juncture of big challenges and bigger opportunities for large scale software development. In this podcast, Assistant Professor Subhajit Datta from SMU's School of Information Systems shares his research on software development in this age of hyperconnectivity and big data.

Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 193! The SPaMCAST 193 features my essay tilled Hyper-Conectivity and Illusions.  I sat in a meeting a few weeks ago and after about ten minutes I was brought up short.  Everyone was paying attention; not one laptop was open nor was anyone reading an email or text under the table (by the way you really can't hide by texting under the table).  People were taking notes "old school" on paper. The meeting ended on-time after 25 minutes meeting the objective and with the promise of minutes.  I was shocked by the seeming efficiency and effectiveness so I lingered after the meeting to discuss my observations with my sponsor. The SPaMCAST 193 is sponsored by LeanKit Kanban.  By now, most of you in the Lean-Agile community have heard of LeanKit, recognized by community leaders and practitioners alike as the most flexible and powerful tool available for implementing visual management. Since their launch in 2009, LeanKit has helped hundreds of companies around the world to quickly and easily model even very complex processes as vertical and horizontal lanes on a virtual whiteboard with cards representing work flowing from step to step. Well, LeanKit has now announced the launch of groundbreaking new features that allow even the largest enterprise portfolio and projects to be managed using multiple levels of drill-down Kanban boards, detailed sub-taskboards, and roll-up Lean metrics - as well as a complete overhaul of their user interface that makes LeanKit more attractive, more intuitive, and easier to manage.

In part 2, I’ll cover items 6-10 as follows:* * *Cold plunge and hot sauna therapies:* Tons of scientific evidence that temperature therapy delivers a variety or hormonal, metabolic and cognitive benefits. * *Carnivore:* Eating in a more nose-to-tail carnivore style pattern has helped with fat reduction and enhanced dietary nutrient density. * *Carbs:* Intuitive carb intake eases the stress of regimented eating and might help with hormone balance and workout recovery. * *Avoiding chronic cardio:* It’s easy to drift past that line and destroy your hormones and immune function. Disciplined use of heart rate monitor is key. * *Mindfulness:* Choosing out of today’s hectic, fast-paced modern life filled with FOMO and consumerism and appreciating the present. I have identified three *needs to improve areas* as follows: * *Hyperconnectivity/distractibility:* This health challenge concerns me more than anything today. We must be highly disciplined with our use of technology! * *Evening artificial light and digital stimulation:* I score 93% here, but I want to get to 99%, like Brian Liver King Johnson. * *Chronic cardio:* Mirroring #9 on the good list, since I’m doing better, but still make training mistakes that dig me into a hole, needing rest and recovery. One last note, it is never too late to make changes - don’t feel bad if it’s January 2nd, 3rd, or 4th...whatever day you start incorporating the things that you know work for you and help you accomplish your goals, is fine because the only really important thing is that you *just do it*. Get over any lingering negative feelings you have about what you should have done in 2019 - now that that year is gone and in the past, it’s time to focus on the present. There are a lot of corny “This is going to be MY year!” memes and messages on social media about 2020, but don’t let all the enthusiasm and excitement that accompanies a new year get you down, let it inspire you. For all of us, there is always going to be some space, large or small, between where we currently are and where we hope to eventually be. The key is letting the space/distance between your present self and your goals/dreams inspire you, not scare you. What is there to be scared of anyways? Failing? Failure isn’t scary when you realize it’s a necessary step in the path towards success. So, get over yourself, and just get moving! *TIMESTAMPS:* The first five tips from the previous show covered family and relationships, health, finances and wealth, changing workouts, continuing the morning flexibility workouts.
