This week Glen Mattingley shares a message about the Promises of God and encourages us to place our trust in Him and let Him steer our lives. This message was given at Kāpiti Impact Church in Paraparaumu, New Zealand.

On this Valentines Day, we're diving into a very special episode with Megan Lambert & James Mattingley. In this conversation, Megan & James will teach us about the role of polarity in creating attraction and desire, what leads couples to put intimacy on the back burner, how to rekindle the spark in long term relationships, the importance of getting out of your head and into your body AKA how to be existence as more than just a brain on a stick, and how to celebrate love and pleasure this Valentines Day. Megan Lambert and James Mattingley are both coaches, speakers, teachers, and facilitators. Megan primarily focuses on helping women reclaim their desires and embrace their sexuality; while James helps people discover their genius and create a path to their unique purpose. Together, they love to support couples. They're intimacy geeks, constantly learning and exploring how to have a deeper, more passionate love affair for themselves - and then supporting other couples to create their own dream relationship. They believe that the passion doesn't have to fade. That couples can grow over time and become their best selves, together. Before you dive in, I would love it if you could hit pause and leave us a 5 star review and a written review on whatever platform you're listening on. In doing so, you help get this podcast into the ears and brains of more people like you.

Welcome, everybody, to another episode at the „Heart of man. I am thrilled to have James Mattingley with us here today. James is a coach and facilitator with over a decade of experience leading groups, and guiding transformational experiences. Within his work, he leads in 3 distinct areas: Helping couples reignite the passion they had at the beginning but even better Supporting individuals to unveil their inner genius and superpower Leading men's groups focused on helping men step into courage and love on each other with their fists, using boxing and embodiment I first met James at a 3- day men's retreat I participated in. During our time together, he skillfully guided us into various different expressions through the use of boxing, embodiment practices & partner exercises. Within our first few moments together, James emphasized the importance of fighting for our brother and not against him, speaking to the fine line of challenging each other from a place of support rather than attempting to bring each other down. What stood out for me when I first made contact with James was his ability to embody what I'd describe as the „Warrior Poet“ - someone with a connection to his power & fierceness but can also access his gentleness & receptivity. Within the retreat, we were consistently challenged to explore the edges of that spectrum to expand our capacity to move with agility in both. A personal favorite moment of this conversation came at the opening of the podcast where James read out a poem he created, communicating the confusing messaging of who we are to be as men and this was followed by a rich discussion addressing the challenges of men in our modern times. From there, we range into a wide array of topics such as keeping the spark alive with an intimate partner even when the honeymoon phase has settled in, why leading from generosity in relationship is the path forward, why attempting to seek a purpose is not the way and what to do otherwise and many more exciting subject matters. In this conversation, James & I cover following topics: The expectations of who men are supposed to be in modern times The cost of men being disconnected from their strength & inner power How having a wider range of expression can lead to more confidence What is transformational combat & why it's valuable for men to connect to their inner fighter How couples can keep the spark alive - even when the honeymoon phase has settled Why it's important for couples to get clear on a relationship vision Why attempting to seek one's purpose is not the way & what do do instead How to effectively carry our wounds in relationship — Connect with James: Website: https://www.jamesmattingley.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/james.mattingley/?hl=de Connect with Alex Website: https://alexlehmann.co/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexlehmann_?igsh=YzVkODRmOTdmMw== Interested in working with me 1:1?

James Mattingley is an embodied movement specialist who facilitates couple's work with his wife, Megan. He is the father of Lila and the expecting father of a baby boy on the way.James opens the show with a poem he wrote recently about the inherent tension within being and becoming a man. From there we move into conversations around men's work, highlighting some of our shared experiences from being in a group together for the last four years. The conversation takes some unexpected turns and we end up with Hercules and his music lessons as a child. In a fit of rage he kills his music teacher, Linus: brother of Orpheus. After this he is banished to live with the beasts and receives no further tutelage in the arts.We wonder what could have been if Hercules had been encouraged to continue his explorations of soul.

Do you struggle to receive? Do you wish your partner did more thoughtful things for you?   In this joint episode with my husband, James Mattingley, I share about the biggest gift I've ever received - and what it's taught me about the art of giving & receiving in romantic relationships.    James recently spent several months renovating my office! And in that process, I learned so much about the voices in my head that block my receiving  (“Do I deserve this? I don't need anything so beautiful…”), as well as the magic I saw in my relationship when I opened to receive this gift graciously.    By sharing this story of learning to receive more fully, I hope you get a golden nugget for yourself around what it means to receive, what stands in the way, and how to open more fully to the love that is, always, all around.  Key Topics: The biggest gift I've ever received [00:36] Desiring the space to share my gifts with the world [2:20] Pouring attention into your partner's desires [3:38] The best questions to ask your partner around gift-giving [5:52] Receiving graciously and letting go of the outcome [6:44]  How gifting reinforces your love bubble [10:50] The juicy ideas that can bubble up while journaling around gift-giving [12:55]   —-    If you're curious about my offerings, visit me at www.megandlambert.com.

Abstract: Visual working memory is critical for goal-directed behaviour as it maintains continuity between previous and current visual input. Functional neuroimaging studies have shown that visual working memory relies on communication between distributed brain regions, which implies an important role for long-range white matter connections in visual working memory performance. Here, we characterised the relationship between the microstructure of white matter association tracts and the precision of visual working memory representations. To that purpose, we devised a delayed estimation task which required participants to reproduce visual features along a continuous scale. A sample of 80 healthy adults performed the task and underwent diffusion-weighted MRI. We applied mixture distribution modelling to quantify the precision of working memory representations and guess rates, both of which contribute to observed responses. Latent components of tract-specific microstructural indices were identified by principal component analysis. Higher working memory precision was associated with lower bulk diffusion across ten tracts of interest and higher directionality of diffusion in a group of frontoparietal-occipital tracts. Importantly, there was no association between guess rates and any of the structural components. Our findings suggest that microstructural properties of white matter tracts connecting posterior and frontal brain regions mediate, in a functionally specific manner, the precision of visual working memory.

G., Eckstein, K., Egan, G. F., Evas, S., Garner, K. G., Garrido, M. I., Hannan, A. J., Huber, R., Johnstone, T., Kaczmarzyk, J. R., Kasper, L., Kuhlmann, L., Lou, K., Lyons, P., Mattingley, J. B., Narayanan, A., Pestilli, F., Puce, A., Ribeiro, F. L., Rogasch, N. C., Shaw, T. B., Sowman, P. F., Spitz, G., Stewart, A., Sullivan, R. P., White, D. J., Ye, X., Zhu, J. D., Narayanan, A., Bollmann, S. Abstract: Neuroimaging data analysis often requires purpose-built software, which can be difficult to install and may produce different results across computing environments. Beyond being a roadblock to neuroscientists, these issues of accessibility and portability can hamper the reproducibility of neuroimaging data analysis pipelines. Here, we introduce the Neurodesk platform, which offers a sustainable, flexible solution; harnessing software containers to support a comprehensive and growing suite of neuroimaging software (https://www.neurodesk.org/). Neurodesk includes both a browser-accessible virtual desktop environment and a command line interface, mediating access to containerised neuroimaging software libraries from multiple systems; including personal computers, cloud computing, high-performance computers, and Jupyter notebooks. This community-driven, open-source platform represents a paradigm shift for neuroimaging data analysis, allowing for accessible, fully reproducible and portable data analysis pipelines, which can be redeployed in perpetuity, in any computing environment, with ease.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.31.514447v1?rss=1 Authors: West, R. K., Harrison, W. J., Matthews, N., Mattingley, J. B., Sewell, D. K. Abstract: Humans possess the ability to evaluate their confidence in a range of different decisions. In this study, we investigated the computational processes that underlie confidence judgements and the extent to which these computations are the same for perceptual decisions in the visual and auditory modalities. Participants completed two versions of a categorisation task with visual or auditory stimuli and made confidence judgements about their category decisions. In each modality, we varied both evidence strength, (i.e., the strength of the evidence for a particular category) and sensory uncertainty (i.e., the intensity of the sensory signal). We evaluated several classes of models which formalise the mapping of evidence strength and sensory uncertainty to confidence in different ways: 1) unscaled evidence strength models, 2) scaled evidence strength models, and 3) Bayesian models. Our model comparison results showed that across tasks and modalities, participants take evidence strength and sensory uncertainty into account in a way that is consistent with the scaled evidence strength class. Notably, the Bayesian class provided a relatively poor account of the data across modalities, particularly in the more complex categorisation task. Our findings suggest that a common process is used for evaluating confidence in perceptual decisions across domains, but that the parameter settings governing the process are tuned differently in each modality. Overall, our results highlight the impact of sensory uncertainty on confidence and the unity of metacognitive processing across sensory modalities. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.25.513789v1?rss=1 Authors: Tang, M. F., Shapiro, K. L., Enns, J. T., Visser, T. A. W., Mattingley, J. B., Arabzadeh, E. Abstract: Our visual perception seems effortless, but the brain has a limited processing capacity which curtails the amount of sensory information that can be brought into conscious awareness at any moment in time. A widely studied exemplar of this limitation is the attentional blink (AB), in which observers are unable to report the second of two rapidly sequential targets if it appears within 200-500 ms of the first. Despite the apparent ubiquity of the AB effect, its computational and neurophysiological underpinnings have remained elusive. Here we propose a simple computational model of temporal attention that unifies the AB with spatial and feature-based attention. We took a novel, integrative approach involving human psychophysics and functional brain imaging, along with neuronal recordings in mice to test this model. Specifically, we demonstrate that the AB only arises when visual targets have dissimilar representations in the brain but is absent when both targets have the same representation. Similarity in this context can be determined either by elementary features such as edge orientation, or by acquired, high-level factors such as numerical or alphabetical order. In this parsimonious model of the AB, attention to an initial target establishes a perceptual filter that is tuned to its unique representation in the brain. Subsequent items that match the filter remain available for conscious report, whereas those that do not match elude awareness altogether. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.09.15.507892v1?rss=1 Authors: A-Izzeddin, E. J., Mattingley, J. B., Harrison, W. J. Abstract: Humans have well-documented priors for many features present in nature that guide visual perception. Despite being putatively grounded in the statistical regularities of the environment, scene priors are frequently violated due to the inherent variability of visual features from one scene to the next. However, these repeated violations do not appreciably challenge visuo-cognitive function, necessitating the broad use of priors in conjunction with context-specific information. We investigated the trade-off between participants' internal expectations formed from both longer-term priors and those formed from immediate contextual information using a perceptual inference task and naturalistic stimuli. Notably, our task required participants to make perceptual inferences about naturalistic images using their own internal criteria, rather than making comparative judgements. Nonetheless, we show that observers' performance is well approximated by a model that makes inferences using a prior for low-level image statistics, aggregated over many images. We further show that the dependence on this prior is rapidly re-weighted against contextual information, whether relevant or irrelevant. Our results therefore provide insight into how apparent high-level interpretations of scene appearances follow from the most basic of perceptual processes, which are grounded in the statistics of natural images.

Staying emotionally, physically, sexually, and spiritually intimate is challenging enough for any of us, at any time in life.    But add to that mix a newborn — with the sleep deprivation, body changes, constant outflow of energy and limited inflow, and the vulnerability of needing so many new things and making so many adjustments — and the dance of intimacy takes on many unexpected steps.    So how do you keep the dance sexy? How do you stay sensual, playful, and open while navigating the challenges of new parenthood?    When it comes to cultivating unguarded communication, connected conflict resolution, and transformational sex for committed couples — there's no better pair than Megan Lambert and James Mattingley.    Both as a couple themselves and as coaches, these two are amazing at embodying the sacred feminine and masculine while keeping it extremely real and down to earth.    In this interview, I go deep with both Megan and James and ask questions about many of the challenges couples face in this new chapter of their lives: making time for intimacy, learning to see the tender need underneath the complaint, getting to know your body all over again, and taking radical responsibility for the quality of connection.    I learned so much from these two in this conversation, and I know you will, too, no matter where you are in your journey.    What You'll Learn In This Episode:    The biggest things that have changed since Megan and James's baby was born The choices we have in every moment of conflict and complaint The hilarious (and oh-so-honest!) nickname they have for their baby How Megan got reacquainted with her pleasure, and how they rediscovered their sex How they keep it sensual and attentive, even when things feel crazy The counter-intuitive truth about spontaneity  Megan and James's favorite daily tools for nourishing connection Explore our website: https://www.desireonfire.com/ Come and join our FB community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DesireOnFire/ And connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/desireonfire/   Connect with Aimee: Check out my instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/aimeebatuski/   Connect with Ellie: Check out my instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/elliemontgomerie   Connect with Megan here:  IG - https://www.instagram.com/megandlambert Website - https://www.megandlambert.com/ Connect with James here:  IG: https://www.instagram.com/james.mattingley Website: https://www.jamesmattingley.com/

James Mattingley returns to the show with another powerful poem:The Return by Geneen Marie HaugenSome day, if you are lucky,you'll return from a thunderous journeytrailing snake scales, wing fragmentsand the musk of Earth and moon.Eyes will examine you for signsof damage, or changeand you, too, will wonderif your skin shows tracesof fur, or leaves,if thrushes have built a nestof your hair, if Andromedaburns from your eyes.Do not be surprised by prickly questionsfrom those who barely inhabittheir own fleeting lives, who barely tastetheir own possibility, who barely dream.If your hands are empty, treasureless,if your toes have not grown claws,if your obedient voice has notbecome a wild cry, a howl,you will reassure them. We warned you,they might declare, there is nothing else,no point, no meaning, no mystery at all,just this frantic waiting to die.And yet, they tremble, mute,afraid you've returned without sweetelixir for unspeakable thirst, withouta fluent dance or holy languageto teach them, without a compassbearing to a forgotten border whereno one crosses without weepingfor the terrible beauty of galaxiesand granite and bone. They tremble,hoping your lips hold a secret,that the song your body now singswill redeem them, yet they fearyour secret is dangerous, shattering,and once it flies from your astonishedmouth, they-like you-must disintegratebefore unfolding tremulous wings.-------------------------------------------------Click to become a PatronWhat's that mesmerising soundtrack?  That's Marlia Coeur: Spotify | YouTube.

On today's episode of #mensexpleasure, I chat with James Mattingley. James is a coach and facilitator with over a decade of leading groups, and guiding transformational experiences. He is based in Ubud Bali and works in three areas; helping couples reignite the passion they had in the beginning... but better. Guiding small groups of seekers to connect to their genius and superpowers. And leading men's groups focused on stepping into courage and loving on each other through embodiment and boxing. The two of us talk about passion, love, sacredness, soul mates, sex, emotion, and fighting. Key points: - James introduces himself - Can we all follow our passions? - Cultivating intuition and trust - Determining your core value - Individual sacredness - Soul mates and love - Spontaneous vs planned sex - Masculinity and numbing emotion - Physical exhaustion and emotional expression Relevant links: James' Instagram: @james.mattingley James' website: https://www.jamesmattingley.com/ James' Facebook: /mattingleyjames

James Mattingley joins the show to perform a poem by Tom Hirons called, Sometimes a Wild God.It's a powerful rendition, and leads us into a discussion of the wild one within and without. When have we felt the presence of the wild god in our lives? What happens to us when that one withdraws? How might we beckon him back into our living rooms so that he might make those rooms truly live again?James is a teacher, coach, speaker, yoga teacher, movement specialist, new father and many other things. He lives in Bali with his wife and their couple-of-moments old daughter. He brings presence and deep questioning with him wherever he goes.It was a pleasure to have him on the show.

In 1977, a young woman named Robyn Davidson set out to pursue what she called a "lunatic idea" -- to lead a group of camels 1,700 miles across western Australia, from the center of the continent to the Indian Ocean. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow Davidson's remarkable journey alone through the Outback and learn what it taught her. We'll also dive into the La Brea Tar Pits and puzzle over some striking workers. Intro: O.E. Young of Petersburg, Va., assembled a two-story house from the marble headstones of 2,000 Union soldiers. In 1946 Stan Bult began recording the faces of London clowns on eggshells. Sources for our feature on Robyn Davidson: Robyn Davidson, Tracks, 1980.

Annie Mattingley, author of The After Death Chronicles and an alumni of the Consciousness Studies program at JFK University, has long been fascinated by consciousness. And yet, the possibility of communicating with the dead was not an idea that was ever on her radar. It is, of course, the subject of her new book, but she didn’t choose it. The subject, Mattingley explains, chose her. It happened while she was grieving the loss of her daughter. Out of nowhere, Mattingley began entering into daily, verbal communication with the deceased member of her family. The experience was deeply healing. Then, another incredible thing happened. Mattingley began cautiously talking to her friends about her communication with the afterlife only to discover, much to her surprise, that everyone seemed to have a similar story to share, some of them people she had known for a long time. “I felt like I had come upon this huge secret…I just became fascinated that this was happening and no one’s talking about it. It became something that I wanted to illuminate for our world,” she says. Grief is one of the most difficult things any of us will ever have to deal with. What happens after death is a question that occupies everyone’s mind. But what if you could communicate with your dead and they said, “I’m okay?” How could this change everything? Join us at the Thursday Soapbox to find out!

It is much more common than normally assumed. You'll learn about the different kids of after-death communication: through dreams, verbatim conversations, and synchronicity through nature and various other physical manifestations. According to Mattingley, "The dead return to let us know they are okay. Our worlds interpenetrate. They exist simultaneously."

How many of us have wished that we could speak with those who have departed?  What would it be like to spend time with a loved one who has passed?  Author and teacher, Annie Mattingley has done just that.  After the death of her daughter, Mattingley came to discover that she was able to connect with her in ways that are surreal.  Through years of interviews with everyday people, she was able to confirm that her experiences were not uncommon.  Join your host, Chris Flisher as he speaks with Mattingley about this incredible experience and her chronicle of the discussions.

In the first part of the education segment, Trader John Mattingley explains that the State-of-the-art AI (Artificial Intelligence) strategies allows are simply not good enough to do what Humans can do - adapt as per ever changing market conditions. The returns from the AI strategies have not been as stellar as initially predicted. Mattingley says one would be better of being a retail trader. #AI, #ArtificialIntelligence, #markets, #trading, #investing, #UK

We analysed location priming effects, and thus the ability to integrate visual information across subsequent trials in the three studies presented in the following chapters. Based on previous findings in healthy subjects priming effects occur under conditions that require no attentional shifts in-between subsequent trials, i.e. with the subject’s fixation maintained and the search displays presented at retinotopically equal locations with respect to the fixation cross (Maljkovic & Nakayama, 1996; Geyer, Krummenacher, & Müller, 2007). In study 1 we tested whether location-based priming effects would outlive spatial shifts of attention in healthy subjects. The basic assumption, derived from Pisella and Mattingley´s (2004) account was they would, and that the outliving would be based on intact spatial remapping mechanisms operating in healthy subjects along with attention shifts. The aim of study 1 in view of further investigations in patients, i.e. in studies 2 and 3 was to test the suitability of the priming paradigm to serve our purpose to investigate spatial remapping abilities, and furthermore, in patients, purported deficits. To test whether priming effects would outlive saccadic shifts of overt attention, subjects had to re-fixate the fixation cross in turns on the left and on the right side of the monitor between subsequent trials. In two separate experiments priming effects were measured at post-saccadically retinotopic and spatiotopic locations, respectively, and compared to effects in a control experiment requiring no attention shifts. The experiments were also applied in study 2. To test whether priming effects would outlive covert shifts of attention subjects´ attention was distracted between subsequent trials while their fixation was maintained. In two separate experiments priming effects were measured after exogenous and endogenous distraction, respectively, and compared to a control experiment without distraction. The experiments were also applied in study 3. The presence of priming effects despite interfering attention shifts could be taken as evidence that processes that integrate visual information along with attention shifts, i.e. spatial remapping mechanisms, operate flawlessly in healthy subjects. The aim of study 2 was to test whether the parietal cortex provides the neural correlate of spatial remapping as assumed by Pisella and Mattingley (2004). To that end, we tested whether spatial remapping deficits would occur after saccadic shifts of overt attention in patients with right parietal lesions. Deficits were expected to be indicated by altered or disturbed priming effects in those patients as compared to priming effects in healthy control subjects and furthermore, in patients with right-hemispheric lesions not involving the parietal lobe. Latter patients (without parietal lesions) were tested, to control for and differentiate between deficits occurring more generally after right-hemispheric damages and specific deficits occurring after right parietal damages. Moreover, given the crucial role of priming for visual search (Chun & Nakayama, 2000) disturbed priming as an indicator of deficient spatial remapping would provide support for the assumption made by Pisella and Mattingley (2004) that spatial remapping deficits contribute to visual search impairments as they are often observed in patients with right parietal lesions. The aim of study 3 was to test the model’s assumption that spatial remapping is required after spatial shifts of covert attention. Again, we compared priming effects of patients with right parietal lesions to those of patients with right-hemispheric lesions without parietal involvement, and healthy subjects. We expected priming effects to be disturbed in patients with right parietal lesions provided that covert attention shifts induce spatial remapping requirements, and that the anatomical site of spatial remapping mechanisms operating to integrate visual information across spatial shifts of covert attention is located in the parietal lobe.
