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 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.

Episode produced by Chloe Fortune, Ava Shultz, Meera Mohindra and Alicja Zator. In this episode of Sync into the Earth, we explore the topic of human-wildlife conflict in urban environments with a North American perspective. Encounters with wildlife are nothing out of the ordinary in urban city centers like Toronto and Edmonton, but do we ever stop to think about how our actions are impacting the wildlife with whom we share our cities? Throughout this episode we give focus to raccoons, coyotes and birds, as well as discuss recent peer-reviewed literature which investigates how living in cities impacts local wildlife. This includes studies on the physiological response of raccoons whose diets mainly consist of human food waste, the impact of diseases from bird feeders and our on-going problem with bird-window collisions. Included in this episode are special guest speakers Dr. Colleen Cassidy St. Clair from the University of Alberta, who discusses her work on the “Edmonton Urban Coyote Project,” and Victoria Badham from the Toronto Wildlife Centre, who discusses human-wildlife interactions and the work currently being completed by the Toronto Wildlife Centre to help local wildlife.

This scenario has some assumptions, but we'll use it to explore how large the human genome is! Sources for this episode: Berger, B. M. (1960), How Long Is a Generation?

The mirror test is often used to try and determine if animals have self recognition. If they recognise it is them in the mirror, they will react to a change in their appearance. But for snakes, sight is not the primary sense, so scientists have had to get a bit more creative.

This week, join Simon on a deep dive through time into the evolution and possible origins of neurodiversity. From the ancient wisdom of neurodivergent shamans to the brilliant minds of Einstein, Darwin, and van Gogh, we'll uncover the hidden stories of how neurodiversity has been shaping our world in unexpected ways.But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. We'll also explore the dark side of how society has often misunderstood and marginalized those who think differently, and how the fight for neurodiversity acceptance is still an ongoing battle.1.

We're rounding off our little mini-series on “theory of mind” in autism research with episode 5: “New Paradigms, New Values.”You can find a (not Substack-generated) transcript of the episode, as well as a music-free remix, here.We will be on hiatus over the holidays, while we cook up some more episodes about the relationship between empathy and autism. But in the meantime, I'll continue to post here occasionally to let you all know about other fascinating audio projects that tackle issues related to autism and disability.“New Paradigms, New Values”In the last several episodes, we've explored the bizarre history of autism research focusing on “theory of mind deficits.” So at this point, you're probably wondering: “where do we go from here?”We don't have all the answers, but in this episode, Travis and Joe—from the previous episode—describe some fascinating new avenues for autism research, which promise to help us understand autistic perspectival differences without invoking so-called “theory of mind deficits.” Plus, Travis compares the two most common paradigms in autism research (the “pathology paradigm,” and the “neurodiversity paradigm”), and offers some advice for folks who want to start reading up on the philosophy of autism.Topics Discussed* A potential problem with our critique of “theory of mind deficit” research: some autistic people find the theory of mind deficit view of autism helpful for making sense of challenging experiences. (00:29)* A reminder about the problems associated with the “theory of mind deficit” view of autism; in particular, the view dehumanizes autistic people. (02:41)* Problems with Barnbaum's influential book The Ethics of Autism (2008), which assumes the theory of mind deficit view of autism. (04:05)* But again, some autistic people find the “theory of mind deficit” view of autism helpful. (05:54)* So, we need good alternatives for understanding and talking about autistic social differences. (07:41)* The bad news: there's no single unifying “theory of autism” that can simply replace the “theory of mind deficit” view. (08:25)* The good news: there are several alternative research programs that promise to help us better understand autistic people's experiences with perspective-taking. (09:07)* A sociological alternative: the double empathy problem. (10:16)* A psychological alternative: monotropism. (12:20)* Monotropism isn't just “an autistic thing.” (15:41)* Why the double empathy problem and monotropism could both be true (they're not in competition with each other). (17:06)* A physiological alternative: differences in interoception. (19:04) * What all of these alternative theories have in common: they don't have to frame autism in terms of deficits. This focus reflects a shift in value assumptions in autism research. (21:13)* Science can't avoid making some value-laden assumptions. Feminist philosophers of science have been talking about this issue for decades. (22:12)* An example of a value assumption in science and medicine: “classic” heart attack symptoms. (25:02)* Travis contrasts the “pathology paradigm” in autism research with the “neurodiversity paradigm” in autism research. (25:51)* Travis gives an example of how the pathology paradigm can distort autism researchers' interpretation of data. (29:12)* We shouldn't merely “study autistic differences”; we need to study autistic differences with the ultimate goal of improving autistic people's well-being, all while paying close attention to what autistic people say they need. (With a quick call-back to Chloe Farahar.) (33:07)* Travis explains how philosophy can contribute to autism research. (36:21)* But philosophers need to be careful! Travis has advice.

Barry organized a fantastic workshop for philosophers interested in podcasting—which is how Joanna and I met each other. And thanks, too, to Joseph Fridman, who has also provided incredible ongoing mentorship while Joanna and I put this project together. Speaking of Joanna—I want to highlight just how much support she has offered me over the past couple years. Joanna is an amazing editor, explainer, and provider of moral support, and she has made NeuroDiving so much better. Thank you Joanna!

Oliwon Lakarayib reçoit Thomas Romon, archéologue et Jean-Albert Privat, membre actif du KAB (Komité Ans Bellay). Dès le début de l'occupation humaine en Martinique comme dans d'autres territoires insulaires de la Caraïbe, les populations ont peuplé majoritairement les côtes. Ainsi des cimetières, parfois sauvages, sont implantés sur le littoral. Souvent non recensés donc inconnus, plusieurs de ces cimetières ont révélé leur existence après des cyclones mais également à la faveur de l'érosion marine qui met à jour des ossements. Aujourd'hui, avec l'accélération de cette érosion, ces ensembles funéraires sont voués à disparaître. Le site de l'Anse Bellay aux Anse-d'Arlets est un exemple de cimetière menacé. Les archéologues de l'INRAP ont travaillé sur ce site qui nous apprend beaucoup sur les pratiques funéraires à l'époque amérindienne mais aussi coloniale. Dans le même temps, un collectif de citoyens a décidé de sanctuariser cet espace et d'en faire un lieu de mémoire.  Ndla : Cette fouille de l'Anse Bellay aux Anses d'Arlets a été réalisée sous la responsabilité du responsable de recherches archéologiques, Thomas Romon, archéologue à l'Inrap, sur prescription du service régional de l'archéologie de Martinique.

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.

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.

The researchers investigated how these herbivores time their movements to take advantage of the green-up of vegetation, and how this behavior affects their survival, reproduction, and overall population dynamics. The study has important implications for wildlife management and conservation efforts in ecosystems where large herbivores play a significant role in shaping the landscape. Merkle, J.A. et al.

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.

Sonso Chimpanzees in Uganda began using a new method to drink water pooled in logs, 'moss-sponging.' Previously known to use balled-up leaves, the chimps began using this new technique with moss, researchers believe, because it is more effective at getting water into their mouths. But then, the technique spread to a neighboring community of chimps, leading researchers to believe that this is evidence of cultural evolution in chimpanzees, a behavior previously only thought to exist in humans. Researchers published their findings in a study in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences back in 2018. This edition of Mongabay Reports is based on the popular article, Tool innovation shows cultural evolution at work among chimpanzees, by Nina Finley.  To also read & share the story, go here: https://news.mongabay.com/2019/02/tool-innovation-shows-cultural-evolution-at-work-among-chimpanzees/ Please invite your friends to subscribe to the Mongabay Newscast wherever they get podcasts, or download our free app in the Apple App Store or in the Google Store to have access to our latest episodes at your fingertips.

He discusses the impact of light on the circadian system along with up-to-date recommendations related to light hygiene. We discuss practical tips for reducing light at night (not all of which involve putting away your device), and why not getting the right kind of light might be keeping you from achieving your body composition goals.

Soutenir et s'abonner à Neurosapiens Le sujet de cette semaine a été une évidence quand j'observe mon quotidien de nomade. Chaque semaine nous nous déplaçons de villes en villes en Amérique Latine et chaque semaine nous devons découvrir de nouvelles rues, de nouveaux espaces, de nouvelles directions. Comme le quotidien m'inspire beaucoup pour les épisodes de Neurosapiens, je me demande toujours dans ces moments-là s'il y a des prédispositions dans le cerveau pour la capacité d'orientation ? Comment fonctionne le GPS de notre cerveau ? Est-il similaire aux GPS technologiques ? Peut-on développer notre GPS cérébral ou est-ce une fatalité d'être mauvais en orientation ? Production, animation, réalisation et illustration : Anaïs RouxInstagram : https://www.instagram.com/neurosapiens.podcast/neurosapiens.podcast@gmail.comMusique d'intro KEEP ON GOINGMusique proposée par La Musique LibreJoakim Karud - Keep On Going : https://youtu.be/lOfg0jRqaA8Joakim Karud : https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarudSOURCESMünzer, S., Zimmer, H.

In this episode, Matthew speaks with Jenn Smith (@JennSmithSocBeh), associate professor of biology at Mills College.They talk about Jenn's work directing a long-term study of the social behavior of California ground squirrels, including the opportunities and risks presented by remote data collection technologies. They also discuss Jenn's work connecting animal behavior and sociological questions, such as the female leadership paradox and the inheritance of wealth and privilege.After the break, they talk about Jenn's experience as a professor at a small liberal arts college, what the students and mentorship environment is like, and what steps students and postdocs who are seeking such a job should take.This week's Two-Minute Takeaway comes from Dr. Gabriela Pinho (@Gabriela_MPinho), a researcher at the Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas and recent PhD from UCLA .

Using sequencing techniques we can find all kinds of hidden life in our oceans. RNA viruses are ancient, but their old genes can help us spot them in great numbers in our oceans. There are huge amounts of 'life' in our oceans that we don't know about. No matter if you think viruses are 'alive' or not, there are way more than we imagined in our oceans. RNA viruses are easier to spot in our oceans if you look for the right ancient gene. Using gene sequencing we can find fish that are hidden in our reefs. Visually spotting fish is helpful but can overlook sneak fish. Using environemtnal sequencing techniques way more diverse range of fish can be found. Ahmed A. Zayed, James M.

In this episode we discover that we'd all secretly rather be squatchin'! Missing Link is the story of a Victorian naturalist who “discovers” Bigfoot when he receives a letter from the mythological ape-man himself asking for his help.

What can we learn from ants about caring for others? In this episode, I feature a paper by Frank et., al who uncovered and described the organized and social approach of ants to treat their wounded fellows.  One of the keys to their success, as the authors observed, was that most decisions on who to treat or rescue were not made by the helper alone; they were unconsciously regulated by the injured ant.   Full citation: Frank ET, Wehrhahn M, Linsenmair KE. Wound treatment and selective help in a termite-hunting ant. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. 2018 Feb 14; 285(1872):20172457.
