The argument is not that every beat causes trance, or that neuroscience has proven spirits. The stronger argument is that rhythm enters the human organism through hearing, motor prediction, breath, movement, attention, emotion, expectation, culture, and social synchrony. The drum becomes powerful when sound, body, group, ritual frame, and meaning converge. These sources support the archaeology, neuroscience, EEG research, shamanic studies, possession studies, Indigenous and culturally specific drum traditions, ritual theory, placebo and meaning-response research, ceremonial magic, and modern witchcraft material used in the episode.Core Academic and Scientific SourcesHuels, Emma R., Hyoungkyu Kim, UnCheol Lee, Tirsa Bel-Bahar, Ana V.

Our hosts, Alexis Highland and Avery Voress, explore the science of flight, from the dinosaur origins of birds to the anatomy and physics that make flying possible. They break down feathers, bones, muscles, lungs, lift, and wing shape, then connect it all back to why flight is so important for parrots' physical and mental wellbeing.This episode also covers how recall, return, stations, and harness training can help companion parrots safely use flight as enrichment, exercise, and confidence-building.

El fósforo es uno de los elementos más limitantes en la producción agrícola mundial, y entender cómo se comporta en el suelo puede marcar la diferencia entre un ciclo productivo rentable y uno que desperdicia recursos desde el primer día. En este episodio se explora el superfosfato triple desde sus bases químicas hasta su impacto en la nutrición vegetal, con información técnica respaldada por fuentes científicas verificables.El superfosfato triple contiene cerca del 46 por ciento de P₂O₅ disponible, más del doble que el superfosfato simple. Su proceso de obtención, su comportamiento según el pH del suelo y su relación con la actividad micorrízica son factores que determinan si ese fósforo llega realmente a la raíz o se fija en formas que la planta no puede aprovechar.Se analizan los errores más frecuentes en campo, como la aplicación superficial en suelo seco, y se explica por qué ocurren y cómo corregirlos con ajustes simples de manejo y ubicación del fertilizante.El episodio también conecta el uso del superfosfato triple con la geopolítica de las reservas mundiales de roca fosfórica y la finitud de este recurso, un ángulo que transforma la manera de ver cualquier programa de fertilización.Ideal para ingenieros agrónomos, técnicos de campo, productores y estudiantes que quieran profundizar en el manejo del fósforo con criterio técnico y perspectiva global.Escucha Agricultura Profesional:https://open.spotify.com/show/2ZuOW2DhD7PK4SM33gtFWy?si=e33021063a114550--Créditos musicales:INTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-graham/53License code: 62TIV9S8Q1XCM65WOUTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/let-good-times-rollLicense code: KUSUTAITXDLYUTHQ--Fuentes consultadas:Lawes, J.B. y Gilbert, J.H.

Harris. “Neural Correlates of the Shamanic State of Consciousness.” Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 15 (2021): 610466. Use for the strongest modern EEG anchor. This study used high-density EEG with shamanic practitioners and controls during rest, shamanic drumming, and classical music listening. It assessed altered-state reports alongside brain measures such as power, connectivity, signal diversity, and criticality. Use carefully: the study does not prove spirits or show that drumming mechanically causes trance in everyone. It supports the more careful claim that trained practitioners entering shamanic states with drumming show measurable brain-state differences.Gordon, Yoel, Golan Karvat, Noa Dagan, and Ayelet N. Landau. “Neural Tracking at Theta Predicts Drumming-Induced Altered States of Consciousness.” Scientific Reports 16, no. 1 (2026): Article 10204. Use for the strongest updated drumming/theta/neural-tracking source. This study tested drumming at theta, delta, and alpha-rate rhythms while recording EEG, and found that stronger rhythmic neural tracking at theta was linked to stronger altered-experience reports. Use carefully: this does not mean theta equals the spirit world or that one frequency opens a portal. The serious point is that altered experience may depend partly on how strongly the nervous system tracks rhythmic stimulation.Aparicio-Terrés, R., et al. “The Neurobiology of Altered States of Consciousness Induced by Drumming and Other Rhythmic Sound Patterns.” Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2025. Use for the newer review literature showing that rhythmic sound is now a serious altered-consciousness research topic. This supports the opening claim that modern academia is examining drumming, rhythmic sound, absorption, relaxation, cognition, and neural activity without reducing the subject to one simple “trance frequency.” The review is especially useful for framing the field as promising but still complex.Neher, Andrew. “Auditory Driving Observed with Scalp Electrodes in Normal Subjects.” Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology 13 (1961): 449–451. Use for the historical bridge between repetitive sound, EEG, auditory driving, and early scientific interest in rhythmic stimulation.Neher, Andrew. “A Physiological Explanation of Unusual Behavior in Ceremonies Involving Drums.” Human Biology 34, no. 2 (1962): 151–160. Use carefully. This is useful as an early attempt to connect ceremonial drumming and physiology, but it should be balanced with Rouget because the “drum simply causes trance” argument is too mechanical.Maurer, R., V.

The Exit Strategy: How to Escape the Ultra-Processed Food Loop

Dr. Brendan McCarthy

Play Episode Listen Later May 21, 2026 31:34


Why is it so hard to stop eating ultra-processed foods — even when you know they're hurting you? In Episode 13 of this 16-part series, Dr. Brendan McCarthy explains why the real problem is not just the food itself. The real problem is the loop: Cue or emotional state → Wanting → Bargaining → Consumption → Temporary relief → Crash/regret → Repeat. This episode explores how ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods become attached to stress, boredom, loneliness, exhaustion, anxiety, and emotional discomfort — training the brain to seek relief through food. Key ideas from this episode: • Hunger is the body asking for nourishment • Wanting is the conditioned brain asking for the expected hit • The food is the bait. The loop is the trap. • The food breaks the feeling. It does not heal the source. • You cannot remove a counterfeit regulator without restoring real regulation. Dr. McCarthy breaks down why willpower alone often fails and why lasting change requires a physiologic off-ramp: stable meals, protein, fiber, hydration, sleep, movement, emotional regulation, cue reduction, social planning, and relapse repair. This is not about “perfect eating.” It is about building a life where food is no longer your primary regulator of stress, comfort, or identity. If you've ever felt trapped in cravings, emotional eating, binge-restrict cycles, or constant food noise, this episode is designed to help you understand the mechanism behind the loop — and how to begin leaving it.

Is the DMT laser experiment proof we are in a simulation? Strangers see the same alien glyphs, the code of reality. Neuroscience explains it. Almost...Is the "Code of Reality" a genuine window into a computed simulation, or merely an artifact of our brain's architecture?I deep dive into the DMT laser experiment, a $15 protocol that allegedly reveals hidden source code of our universe. I investigate why strangers independently report the same bizarre characters and geometric structures, and whether this "shared reality" unveils the Matrix or is simply a trick of our visual cortex.Topics (among others):The Code of Reality: How Danny Goler's repeatable experiment uses a 650nm red laser and DMT to induce perceptions of a high-definition hyper-structure of code.The 40,000-Year Trail: Why Paleolithic cave art, UFO glyphs, and Soviet Kozyrev Mirror experiments all feature similar geometric codes/glyphs long before the modern simulation hypothesis interpretations.Neuroscience vs. Simulation: How the Bressloff-Cowan V1 Model provides a mathematical model for why our natural brain wiring produces similar "form constants" with hallucinogens.Consider Supporting + Receive Bonus Content⁠

A: This episode breaks down the myth that thoughts drive feelings (hint: it's the other way around!). Discover why “thought work” is a torture device for perfectionidtic people and how the “CTFAR Model” does not actually work for any human with a brainQ: What's really going on when I'm overwhelmed by emotions even if everything looks fine on the outside?
A: You'll learn the neuroscientific difference between feelings and emotions, plus why this distinction puts an to the cycle of overthinking feelings and asking “what is wrong with me”Q: What's the biggest misconception high-achievers have about feelings?
A: Most of us have a totally backward understanding of where feelings come from (and it's not just psychological!). Courtney reveals the real, science-backed answer.Q: How can I feel my feelings without getting “lost” in them or falling apart?
A: Tune in for a client success story and discover a practical tool—the “mood meter”—to help you regain control and function, even on tough days.Q: Does thinking rationally mean I can escape feelings?
A: Logic and rationality can't bypass feelings. Find out why every decision (yes, even the “rational” ones!) are shaped by your mood — and how to use this knowledge to your advantage.Q: What's one quick, practical tweak I can use to feel better fast?
A: Courtney shares micro-strategies (think 30 seconds to 3 minutes) you can use right away to change your mood—and your experience.Highly Credible Resources Cited in this EpisodeBar, M. (2009).

Les animaux, comme les Hommes, deviennent-ils asociaux avec l'âge ?

Les comportements sociaux des animaux évoluent souvent avec l'âge, et certaines espèces montrent des signes de retrait ou de diminution des interactions sociales en vieillissant. Cette tendance à devenir plus asocial avec l'âge a été étudiée dans plusieurs espèces animales, notamment chez les mammifères et les oiseaux. Une étude publiée dans *Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences* a exploré cette question en se concentrant sur l'impact du vieillissement sur les comportements sociaux des animaux et les implications de ces changements. L'étude suggère que, chez de nombreuses espèces, la diminution des interactions sociales pourrait être liée à des facteurs physiologiques et comportementaux associés au vieillissement. Par exemple, des animaux plus âgés peuvent avoir moins d'énergie, une santé déclinante ou des capacités cognitives réduites, ce qui limite leur capacité ou leur motivation à interagir avec leurs congénères. En outre, certains animaux vieillissants peuvent devenir plus vulnérables aux prédateurs ou aux maladies, ce qui pourrait favoriser un comportement plus réservé, visant à minimiser les risques en limitant les contacts avec d'autres individus. Dans l'étude, les chercheurs notent aussi que la régression sociale avec l'âge peut être influencée par des facteurs de hiérarchie ou de dynamique sociale propre à chaque espèce. Par exemple, dans des espèces où les individus jeunes et dominants jouent un rôle central dans la structure sociale, les animaux plus âgés peuvent se retirer en raison d'une moindre influence sociale ou d'un statut diminué. Cela a été observé chez des espèces comme les primates, où les individus plus âgés passent moins de temps en groupe et préfèrent des interactions limitées, principalement avec des membres de leur famille ou des partenaires de longue date. Cependant, toutes les espèces ne montrent pas cette tendance. Dans certains groupes d'animaux, les individus âgés jouent des rôles sociaux importants, tels que transmettre des connaissances aux jeunes (comme chez les éléphants et les orques), ce qui favorise le maintien des interactions sociales même avec l'âge avancé. Ainsi, le déclin de la sociabilité avec l'âge varie selon les espèces et est souvent modulé par l'environnement et les pressions évolutives spécifiques. En conclusion, les chercheurs de *Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B* soulignent que, bien que le retrait social avec l'âge soit courant, il n'est pas universel. Les besoins énergétiques, les capacités cognitives et les rôles sociaux contribuent tous à déterminer comment les animaux vieillissent socialement. Cette étude met en lumière l'importance d'étudier le vieillissement animal pour mieux comprendre les mécanismes sociaux et physiologiques qui influencent la longévité et la qualité de vie des espèces animales.

As we age, the distribution of our body fat changes, particularly around menopause. Most people think of body fat as bad, but fat tissue plays a number of hugely important roles in our health.In today's episode of ZOE Science and Nutrition, Jonathan is joined by Dr. Sarah Berry and Prof. Deborah Clegg. Together, they debunk the myth that fat is bad, enlighten us about why body fat is distributed where it is, and explore the differences in fat distribution between men and women. Deborah Clegg is a professor and Vice President for Research at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, El Paso. Her research focuses on sex differences in metabolism, adipose tissue, and the brain and the impact this has on our health. Dr. Sarah Berry is one of the world's leading experts on human nutrition.

The gang discusses two papers that looks at mammal jaws and teeth. The first paper uses many different analyses to study how the mammal jaw evolved, and the second paper looks at a unique set of teeth in a fossil whale group. Meanwhile, Curt gets ideas from Mortal Kombat, James has discusses farming practices, and Amanda finds any excuse to be fabulous.   Up-Goer Five (Curt Edition): The friends talk about two papers that look at how mouths for animals with hair have changed over time. The first paper looks at the bottom hard part of the mouth to see how it first started and how it has changed and why it changed. Lots of people have ideas about this, but this paper is the first attempt to really look at this problem for a lot of different ways of handling it. They do a lot of things that are very number heavy to look at how these hard parts are able to move, and they look at a lot of parts from living and long dead things. What they find is that the bottom mouth parts of animals with hair are not as good as we thought. They are hard so they do not break, but other animals have bottom mouth parts that are easier to use and quicker. Because animals with hair make their bottom mouth from just one hard part, it may have made it easier for them to get many different teeth in the mouth. This is a story that has a lot more parts than just, "animals with hair had better everything so that is why there are now a lot of them" and instead shows that some changes were not "better" but may have opened doors to other ways to use a mouth (like many different teeth in the same mouth).   The second paper looks at one animal with hair that moves through the water and has some very weird teeth that push out the front of the mouth. But first, the paper needs to see if these are really teeth. Some long teeth like things are found in other animals with hair, but these long things do not have all the parts to be teeth. When they look at this animal, they see that these are actually really long teeth. This is interesting because teeth can be more hurt by things than the long teeth like things. So if these are teeth, what did they do with them? They do not have breaks and they would not be good for moving through the ground looking for food, so the people who wrote the paper think they might be used to cut food.   References: Tseng, Z.

Ethiker*innen blicken mit Sorge auf die rasante Entwicklung in der KI-Forschung - in manchen Bereichen aber auch mit Gelassenheit. Denn man muss zwischen verschiedenen Dimensionen von künstlicher Intelligenz unterscheiden, und die sind mit ganz unterschiedlichen Risiken behaftet. Bislang regulieren KI-Entwickler sich höchstens selbst, und das soll zunächst auch so bleiben. Doch im Alltag steckt viel mehr KI, als das vielen bewusst ist. Deshalb mahnt die Forschung eine Regulation an, wie die EU sie jetzt auf den Weg bringen will. Das gilt auch für das menschliche Feedback, mit dem Anwendungen und Algorithmen optimiert werden sollen - und hier besteht noch immer eine regulatorische Lücke. Frederik Schulz-Greve hat mit Wissenschaftler*innen gesprochen, die sich mit den ethischen Grundlagen und Folgen der Anwendung von Künstlicher Intelligenz beschäftigen. Im Gespräch mit Host Lucie Kluth erklärt er, wo Potenziale liegen, warum Hochschulen auch angstbefreit an den Umgang mit ChatGPT herangehen könnten, wie Crowdworker Feedback geben und was all das zum Beispiel mit der Entwicklung von Antibiotika zu tun hat.

GAMEIFYING REALITY w/ Bobby Azarian

Cognitive neuroscientist and science writer, Bobby Azarian, returns to the Integral Stage for a deep and wide-ranging discussion of the emerging scientific paradigm -- the complexity science paradigm arising out of the intersections of physics, biology, neuroscience, and information theory -- that will likely shape self, culture, and society for the next century. If the universe is now known to be self-organizing through levels of developmental emergence, and if we are, as Carl Sagan once said, "a way for the cosmos to know itself," what really are the implications of such a view for all the domains of life that matter to us? This perspective, of course, is in its general outlines very similar to the one Ken Wilber outlined in Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, but the science has developed since Wilber published SES; so Bobby and Layman explore those developments, and how they further reinforce, and in some cases update, the synthesis Wilber offered several decades ago. Bobby Azarian is a cognitive neuroscientist (PhD, George Mason University), a science journalist, and author of the book The Romance of Reality: How the Universe Organizes Itself to Create Life, Consciousness, and Cosmic Complexity. He has written for The Atlantic, The New York Times, BBC Future, Scientific American, Slate, The Huffington Post, Quartz, The Daily Beast, Aeon, and others. His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals like Human Brain Mapping, Cognition & Emotion, Acta Psychologica, and Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. His Psychology Today blog (Mind in the Machine) has received over 8 million views, making it one of the most popular blogs on the website. He has been a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience, the Michael Shermer Show, The David Pakman Show, The Jim Rutt Show, The Young Turks, the Singularity University podcast, and many others. He helped develop multiple episodes for Season 2 of the YouTube Premium series Mind Field, which won the show its first Emmy nomination. He is a pro at audio and music production, and is currently working on an educational podcast based on his new book.

Wolfgang Lutz is one of the world's experts in projecting global population levels and demography. I contacted him to help understand the differences between projections based on demography like his and the United Nations' versus systemic ones like in Limits to Growth.He gave a comprehensive overview of who projects and how, at least as much as can be covered in under an hour. Some highlights:Who projects based on demography: the UN, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), and the Wittgenstein Center, among others.He described what and how demographers project: Assumptions, methods, variables of age, sex, education, migration, fertility rate, mortality rate. He consistently repeated the importance of education.On Limits to Growth, he pointed out that systems analyses include feedback mechanisms, but their demographics tend to be less sophisticated, for example lacking age structure or effects of education. Demographers don't take them seriously because of their oversimplification.I asked how demographers include feedback. He described a few ways, including asking experts and translate their responses into different scenarios. What about big events like fish or aquifers depleting? He pointed out extreme events are hard to predict, though humanity's historical resilience suggests we'll figure out ways to level their effects. Demographers also include probabilistic models for tipping points, disease, and such, and report levels of variance.The results of his research and projections: Human population peaking somewhere around 2080 at around 10 billion then declining. It may reach about 3 to 4 billion by 2200, which could be long-term sustainable, though the transition is uncertain. Humanity could reach a healthy, wealthy, more equal, more resilient, and well educated future, but not given.Potential problems: heat waves, drought, floods, sea level rise. Humans can solve to some degree, but we have to prepare.What to focus on: since population changes slowly, behavior, technology, and migration first, then education especially of women in the long term since its effects happen more slowly. Also family planning, women's health, contraception, and sexual equality.We covered a lot, though scratched the surface, gives understandable overview of demographics and global population projections.I put greater weight on difficult-to-predict extreme uncertain events. At least I'd make the uncertainty go down more than the symmetry I see, but our conversation was about learning and understanding, not debate. I've learned a lot each time I've listened to this episode. It's dense with information, but on an important subject.Wolfgang's page at the International Institute for Applied Systems AnalysisTwo of his major papers explaining how he models global population growthThe end of world population growth, Nature, 2001Dimensions of global population projections: what do we know about future population trends and structures?, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010Executive summary of his book World Population and Human Capital in the Twenty-First Century Hosted on Acast.

By the end of the 1970s, after the 1973 Pascagoula incident and the 1975 Travis Walton case, abduction claims were not only an accepted aspect of the UFO mystery by many investigators, they were considered worthy of attention by the news media, and there are many lengthy newspaper articles detailing reports throughout that decade. The narrative hadn't yet been taken over by the now-common reports of being taken aboard a craft by creatures 3 to 4 feet tall with big, slanted, black eyes and being subjected to invasive medical procedures that seemed to have something to do with reproduction. The creatures and the natures of the encounters reported throughout the 70s were varied, but by the decade's end, elements had emerged that would become common in the decades to come. What would also become common in such cases would be the use of regressive hypnosis, which was thought to be an effective means to recover lost memories. However, this technique has since came under criticism, particularly in its use to provide evidence in legal cases, as can be seen in the article titled “Hypnosis, Memory and Amnesia” which was published in the November 29, 1997 (pp. 1727-1732) Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society London B: Biological Sciences. Read more →

The gang discusses two papers that analyze exceptional fossils using CT scanning. The first paper looks at an exceptionally preserved vampire squid, and the second paper looks at an exceptionally preserved early mammal. Meanwhile, Amanda follows medical advice, James is a consummate professional, and Curt learns about coleoids in real-time.   Up-Goer Five (Curt Edition): Our friends look at two papers that use an important way of looking at things through hard stuff to try and figure out what a lot of older animals actually looked like. The first paper looks at an animal with an arm, and an arm, and an arm, and an arm, and an arm, and an arm, and an arm, and an arm which looks like it could hurt you but really just spends its time eating dead things. There is only one of these animals around today, but this older animal is thought to be a part of this group. By using this way of looking through hard parts, we can say that this old animal is a part of this group. Also, we can see that there are some ways that it is not the same as the living one. It seems that the old animal may have eaten things that were living, which is very different from how the animal around today lives. The second paper looks at an old animal from a group we are a part of that has hair and warm blood. As we have talked about before, figuring out when we have the first of this group of animals is very hard, and lots of changes happen early on that then go back again. This animal gives us some really cool ways to look at some of these changes early on in this group. By using this way of looking through hard parts, they can look inside the head and see the ear parts. Ear parts are an important part of being a part of this group.
