Podcasts about Social neuroscience

How to really know what your audience is thinking.To be a great communicator, you have to get out of your own head. But that's not all, says Matt Lieberman. According to him, you also have to get into the head of someone else.“Mind-reading is this remarkable ability that humans have,” explains Lieberman, a professor of psychology, director of UCLA's Social Cognitive Neuroscience Lab, and author of Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect. But even as we engage in perspective-taking, Lieberman says our attempts to mind-read often miss the mark. Instead, he advocates for “perspective-getting” — where we don't just intuit what others think, we ask them directly. “That is where more productive conversation comes from,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Lieberman and host Matt Abrahams explore insights from social neuroscience that can help us communicate more effectively. From understanding how our brains process social interactions to recognizing our own assumptions, he reveals why successful communication requires both humility and genuine curiosity about how others see the world.Episode Reference Links:Matt Lieberman Matt's Book: Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to ConnectEp.24 Feelings First: How Emotion Shapes Our Communication, Decisions, and ExperiencesEp.39 Brains Love Stories: How Leveraging Neuroscience Can Capture People's Emotions Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:14) - The Social Brain (05:15) - Neuroscience in Business (07:14) - The Science of Persuasion (11:46) - Social Pain & Connection (15:04) - Tackling Loneliness (17:56) - The Final Three Questions (24:01) - Conclusion  ********Become a Faster Smarter Supporter by joining TFTS Premium. 

I am joined in this podcast by Jamie Ward to explore synaesthaesia as he depicted in his book titled The Frog Who Croaked Blue: Synaesthesia and the Mixing of the Senses. Jamie Ward is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Sussex, UK. His principal research interest lies in the cognitive neuroscience of synaesthesia, although he has published on many other topics, including frontal lobe function, memory and disorders of reading and spelling. We explored the history of synaesthesia and why the scientific interest has waxed and waned over time, and how the understanding of the condition has evolved. Jamie Ward also narrated how a chance observation by neurologist Richard Cytowic at a dinner launched the scientific study of synaesthesia. We also reviewed the defining features of synaesthesia, and its familial and acquired causes. The conversation also discussed the different types of synaesthesia, and what Jamie referred to as the fringes of synaesthesia. Other themes that the podcast reviewed are the ways by which the knowledge of synaesthesia has challenged the traditional concepts of our senses, how much control people with synaesthesia have over their experiences, and the possible evolutionary advantages of synaesthesia, such as heightened memory and creativity. We also reviewed the gaps in the scientific understanding of synaesthesia and the prospects for unravelling its complete picture .Jamie Ward's research uses several methods in cognitive neuroscience, including human neuropsychology, functional imaging, EEG and TMS. He is the founding editor of the journal, Cognitive Neuroscience, and is currently President of the British Association of Cognitive Neuroscience (BACN). His other books include The Student's Guide to Cognitive Neuroscience and The Student's Guide to Social Neuroscience.

“Acts of trust are the bedrock on which relationships are formed.”There's a lot in the world to make us cynical about other people and their motives and intentions. But by “trusting loudly,” Professor Jamil Zaki believes we can renew our faith in one another.Zaki is a professor of psychology at Stanford, director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience lab, and author of several books, including his most recent, Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness. While many people feel suspicious of others and are reluctant to trust them, Zaki finds that relying on other people is a necessary part of forming relationships.“Acts of trust are the bedrock on which relationships are formed,” Zaki says. “The only way that strangers become friends and friends become best friends, the only way that we can build partnerships is through a willingness to count on one another.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Zaki joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss practical strategies for fostering trust and challenging our cynical assumptions, offering a hopeful perspective on human nature, backed by surprising scientific insights.Episode Reference Links:Jamil Zaki: WebsiteStanford Profile: Jamil Zaki Jamil's Lab: Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab Jamil's Book: Hope for CynicsEp.84 Quick Thinks: How Others Define Us Website / YouTube Ep. 129 Connect Deeply: How to Communicate So People Feel Seen and Heard Website / YouTube Connect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn,  Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Matt Abrahams introduces guest Jamil Zaki, director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab.(00:01:03) Defining Trust and Its ImportanceA definition of trust and its impact on relationships with others.(00:01:54) Building Better TrustDeveloping trust, with a focus on communication and "trusting loudly."(00:03:24) Understanding Cynicism The concept of cynicism, its impact on social interactions, and the idea of the cynicism trap.(00:05:47) The Cynicism Spectrum Whether cynicism is binary or a spectrum, and what the opposite of cynicism looks like.(00:08:07) Fostering Hopeful SkepticismHow to cultivate hopeful skepticism instead of falling into cynicism.(00:10:20) Challenges of Overcoming CynicismAdvice on expanding worldviews and managing confirmatory experiences.(00:15:10) Self-Fulfilling Prophecies The power of self-fulfilling prophecies and how they shape social interactions.(00:17:31) The Final Three QuestionsJamil's approach to communicating concepts eloquently, a communicator he admires and his ingredients for successful communication.(00:24:36) Conclusion (00:00) - Introduction (01:03) - Defining Trust and Its Importance (01:54) - Building Better Trust (03:24) - Understanding Cynicism (05:47) - The Cynicism Spectrum (08:07) - Fostering Hopeful Skepticism (10:20) - Challenges of Overcoming Cynicism (15:10) - Self-Fulfilling Prophecies (17:31) - The Final Three Questions (24:36) - Conclusion

In this episode, I talk with Gina Gratza, who specializes in psychedelic-assisted facilitation.In our conversation, Gina tells us about the many different organizations she is involved in and the work she does with them, including psychedelic integration and coaching, being an Oregon Psilocybin Facilitator, working with the Social Neuroscience and Psychotherapy Lab, and serving as Program Coordinator and Lead Educator at InnerTrek.Gina also highlights many of the influential experiences and trainings that inform the work she does from an internship at a treatment center for eating disorders to trainings in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS),  sensory psychotherapy, and Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT).Gina also shares how she came to psychedelics after attending Burning Man and having an enlightening experience. This leads our conversation to recognize the infinite paths one can take to finding their place in the psychedelic field as well as exploring consciousness. We also touch on the importance of recognizing our shadow selves and the shadow side of psychedelics.Finally, Gina reflects on the future of psychedelics and her hope for the Oregon Psilocybin Facilitation program to inform future programs in other states and the vision for psychedelics to promote deeper community healing.Time Stamps:(4:21) Gina's involvement in various organizations within the psychedelic field(7:51) The importance of working with women and creating community spaces for identity expression in psychedelic integration and support(25:14) How psychedelics play a role in Gina's work: doing your own work with psychedelics and consciousness and logistics of having two businesses while being a licensed therapist(46:27) Internships and trainings that influence Gina's work(57:27) Advice on how to find trainings and grow your skillset(1:08:40) How Gina became curious about psychedelics: Burning Man, integrating into the underground nightlife  in Los Angeles, and recognizing the different ways to engage in plan medicines and psychedelics(1:19:04) The shadow side of psychedelics: navigating psychedelic hype, managing expectations, the variety of modalities for healing trauma and exploring consciousness(1:41:12) Future of the psychedelic field and Gina's work(1:49:47) Gina's last piece of advice: remember to playLinks:Social Neuroscience and Psychotherapy LabCora CenterChariotInnerTrekOregon's Legal Psilocybin Website: Trainings:EMDRSensory psychotherapySomatic experiencingIFSGrief workConnect with Gina:Website: www.ginagratza.comLinkedInInstagram: @gina.gratzaTo learn more about Psychedelic Grad or to join our newsletter, go to https://www.psychedelicgrad.com/To donate and support Psychedelic Grad: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/psygradMusic by: https://www.alexkahnmusic.com/Presented by Psychedelic Grad.

Last week the VA Portland Health Care System opened the Social Neuroscience & Psychotherapy Lab, known as the SNaP Lab, focused on psychedelic therapy and clinical trials. Dr. Christopher Stauffer, a psychiatrist, clinical researcher and director of social neuroscience and psychotherapy at Portland VA, joins us to talk about the new lab, and the two clinical trials currently underway.

Picture it: you're on a crowded subway and someone sneezes. Or maybe you're on a plane and the person next to you keeps coughing. Perhaps you shook hands with someone who didn't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. Interaction with germs is inevitable, but why do some people get sick while others don't? Social neuroscientist Dr. Keely A. Muscatell tells Jonathan all about what happens when we get sick and why. We go deep on how the innate and adaptive branches fight against pathogens, how social experiences impact our physical health, and what we can do to help prevent getting sick. Dr. Muscatell is a social neuroscientist and psychologist from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research explores how social experiences impact physical health. She is also the director of the Social Neuroscience and Health Laboratory at UNC Chapel Hill. You can find Keely on Instagram @drkeelz. You can follow her lab on X @socneurohealth and find more information about their work here. Follow us on Instagram @CuriousWithJVN to join the conversation. Jonathan is on Instagram @JVN.

In this episode, Joe interviews Alyssa Gursky, LPC: artist, research associate and study therapist at the Social Neuroscience and Psychotherapy (SNaP) lab, and founder of Psychedelic Art Therapy LLC, which pioneers ketamine-assisted art therapy. She talks about her first mushroom experience and how her art and creative process instantly felt different – how the judgment and concern about where the art was going disappeared and was replaced by a freedom; a return to a more childlike way of being, where all that mattered was the fun of the creative process, and expressing her inner world in art. They realized how much the creative process related to true embodiment and the ability to be fully present, and how healing it can be to simply be with other people and create art.  She talks about: The power of being seen in a group, and how the bravery of one person can completely shift the group dynamic The need for mentorship in the psychedelic space The comfort and freedom found in affinity groups The inspiring lives of Genesis P-Orridge and avant-garde filmmaker, Alejandro Jodorowsky Rick Rubin's ability to treat creativity as a spiritual act and how attending a live wrestling event aligns with non-ordinary states. Gursky is launching a virtual education and support group this March for anyone who wants to integrate art into client work or their own process. Visit her instagram for details.

Last year, the surgeon general of the United States said that the greatest epidemic we are facing right now is an epidemic of loneliness. John Cacioppo, director for Social Neuroscience at the University of Chicago, is the world's leading expert on loneliness. In his landmark book, on loneliness, he describes how profoundly the epidemic of loneliness is affecting the basic functions of human physiology. He writes: "When we drew blood from our older adults  and analyzed their white cells, we found that loneliness somehow penetrated the deep recesses of the cell to alter the way genes were being expressed." In other words, when you are lonely, your whole body is lonely. Psalm 133 is a reminder of God's treasuring of community. We are created with a connection requirement!

Humans are wired to feel good when we get the kind of touch that we want. But when we can't get that, it's bad for both our physical and psychological health. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, most Americans said that they weren't getting enough intimacy and affection, and this number has only increased since. So how can we fill this touch void in our lives? Could modern technology offer some solutions?  In today's show, we're going to discuss digital touch and whether tech might offer new and effective ways to meet our need for intimate contact. I am joined once again by Dr. Michael Banissy, an award-winning Professor in Social Neuroscience and a science communicator. He has received multiple prizes for his contributions to Psychological Science, including a medal from the British Psychological Society. Touch Matters: Handshakes, Hugs, and the New Science on How Touch Can Enhance Your Well-Being is his first book (note that in the UK, his book is titled When We Touch). Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include: Why is touch crucial to making virtual reality an immersive experience? How close is modern technology to mimicking real-life sensations of touch? To what extent can technology be an effective substitute for human touch? Is it realistic to think we can get the same benefits from mechanical touch that we can from human touch? What are the ethical concerns surrounding digital touch?

One of the keys to maintaining healthy, long-term romantic relationships is physical intimacy. I'm not just talking about sex, though. For many reasons, non-sexual physical intimacy is just as important, if not more so. In today's show, we're going to do a deep dive into why touch is so powerful, as well as why affectionate touch is one of the best ways to initiate sex and to have great sex. We're also going to explore practical tips for bringing more touch into your relationships. I am joined by Dr. Michael Banissy, an award-winning Professor in Social Neuroscience and a science communicator. He has received multiple prizes for his contributions to Psychological Science, including a medal from the British Psychological Society. Touch Matters: Handshakes, Hugs, and the New Science on How Touch Can Enhance Your Well-Being is his first book (note that in the UK, his book is titled When We Touch). Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include: Why is kissing such an important part of intimate touch? How does culture influence our preferred forms of intimate touch? How and why is hugging beneficial for our relationships? Why is touch so important during sexual initiation? How can physical affection help to unlock the benefits of sex on our well-being? What does it mean to "make affection, not love?" Make sure to check out Michael's website to learn more, and connect with him on Twitter and Instagram. Thank you to our sponsors!

Dr. FeldmanHall's research seeks to disentangle the cognitive and neural processes behind the complex choices that form the basis of human social behavior. In this episode, we talk about morality from the perspective of social neuroscience. We discuss if it makes sense to talk about different psychological ingredients to morality, like moral foundations. We talk about the role of emotion in decision-making, and the regions of the brain that participate in moral decision-making. We discuss what drives us to help others. We talk about how learning shapes our moral values; how social norms evolve, and why we comply to them; and how people weigh competing moral motivations. We talk about uncertainty in social contexts, and how people reduce it. We discuss the disconnect between people's moral beliefs and their behavior. Finally, we address general questions, like the nature vs. nurture debate; how social neuroscience relates to the social sciences and neuroscience; and if there are objective moral values. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, JONATHAN VISSER, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, MIKKEL STORMYR, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, MORTEN EIKELAND, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

The Science Behind The Psychedelics Boom There's been an explosion of new research into therapeutic uses for psychedelics. This includes drugs like psilocybin, the hallucinogenic chemical found in “magic mushrooms,” and ketamine—which was originally used as an anesthetic, and later became a popular party drug also known as “special K.” Esketamine, a form of ketamine, was approved by the FDA in 2019 for use in treatment resistant depression. And just last month Colorado residents voted to legalize medicinal use of psilocybin. Following on the heels of Oregon's legalization in 2020, which is now in the process of being implemented. A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed promising results in using psilocybin to help patients with treatment-resistant depression. About a third of those who received the highest dose were in remission 3 weeks later. This was the largest look at psilocybin's effect on depression to date, involving 233 participants across ten countries in Europe. Ira talks with Dr. Steve Levine, senior vice president of patient access and medical affairs at COMPASS Pathways, the company that funded the study. Later, Ira takes a closer look into the latest psychedelic research and takes listener calls with Dr. Gerard Sanacora, professor of psychiatry and director of the Yale Depression Research Program at the Yale School of Medicine, and Dr. Alissa Bazinet, Clinical Psychologist, Co-Founder and Director of Research and Development at the Sequoia Center, and Associate Director of the Social Neuroscience and Psychotherapy Lab at Oregon Health and Science University.     How Will AI Image Generators Affect Artists? Back in August, controversy erupted around the winning submission of the Colorado State Fair's art content. The winning painting wasn't made by a human, but by an artificial intelligence app called Midjourney, which takes text prompts and turns them into striking imagery, with the help of a neural network and an enormous database of images. AI-based text-to-image generators have been around for years, but their outputs were rudimentary and rough. The State Fair work showed this technology had taken a giant leap forward in its sophistication. Realistic, near-instant image generation was suddenly here—and reactions were just as potent as their creations. Tech enthusiasts lauded the achievement, while artists were largely concerned and critical. If anyone could make a painting in just a few seconds, why would someone need to commission an artist to produce an illustration, or even bother spending years learning art at all?

Thank you for your support. “We can't afford to not be in the pre-frontal cortex. In the information age, it's exponentially important to be in that part of our brain.” – Scott Ummel In this wide-ranging conversation, Ethan and Mike bring on another Nash Consulting trainer and consultant, Mr. Scott Ummel. Scott, our inhouse Wizkid on the social neuroscience of leadership, discusses the concept of S.C.A.R.F. and its impact on how we lead, manage, collaborate and operate in the workplace. S.C.A.R.F. is an acronym for the five things are brains are always scanning for in our environment: Status (our pecking order in a community), Certainty (our need for consistency in our environment), Autonomy (the perception of having control), Relatedness (having a sense of inclusion) and Fairness (the need to be treated equally). Tune in to learn more about how our brains work and how we can use that information to lead well and thrive in the workplace.

Joseph chats with Dr. Lasana Harris about how using traits rather than stereotypes when thinking about strangers can help combat social bias. They also address questions like when is it useful to make a situational versus a dispositional attribution, what are the differences between social and personality psychology, and some advice for academics entering psychology.Dr. Harris is a Professor of Social Neuroscience in Experimental Psychology at University College London. He got his undergraduate degree from Howard University and his phD from Princeton University. His research uses a social neuroscience approach to explore the neural correlates of person perception, prejudice, dehumanization, anthropomorphism, social learning, social emotions, empathy, and punishment. He published a book in 2017 titled Invisible Mind: Flexible Social Cognition and Dehumanization. Paper link: Harris, L. T. (2021).

Pentru o bună perioadă de timp, am evaluat inteligența celor din jur prin măsurarea IQului și ne-am oferit unii altora apreciere luând în calcul coeficientul de inteligență. Totuși, într-o lume a sarcinilor îndeplinite rapid și în volume mari, liderii cei mai apreciați sunt din ce în ce mai mult aceia care manifestă empatie, compasiune și grijă pentru bunăstarea celor din jur. Așadar, în episodul de astăzi vorbim despre inteligență emoțională, ce este ea și cum o putem folosi atât în relația cu noi înșine, cât și cu cei din jur, pentru a trăi o viață mai aliniată cu noi înșine și cu mai multă atenție la propria bunăstare.

Mehr Geld, mehr Macht, mehr Anerkennung. Wenn wir gierig sind, glauben wir, immer noch mehr zu brauchen. Damit schaden wir uns selbst, anderen und dem Planeten.Achtsamkeitspraxis und bewusste Reflexionsübungen können Abhilfe schaffen. Durch sie können wir unseren Bedürfnissen auf den Grund gehen und verstehen, was hinter unserer Gier steckt. Wir lernen, besser mit unseren Impulsen umzugehen, sowie mitfühlend mit uns zu sein, wenn das Verlangen uns packt. Und vielleicht entdecken wir sogar ein tiefes Glück in uns selbst. Das kann ein gutes Gegenmittel zur Gier sein.In dieser Folge beleuchten Sinja und Boris die Gier von verschiedenen Seiten.

In this podcast, we talk to Dr. Melissa Mulraney, Senior Lecturer and co-leader of the Child Mental Health Research Centre at the Institute for Social Neuroscience in Melbourne, Australia, Honorary Research Fellow at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in the Department of Paediatrics at the University of Melbourne, and Associate Editor of CAMH. Melissa discusses what influenced her to specialise in child and adolescent mental health, as well as highlights some of her most recent papers that focus on her research interests (ADHD, emotional dysregulation and sleep). Melissa also discusses her work at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, including her work on several clinical trials of behavioural interventions for child mental health problems. Melissa has won the World Federation of ADHD Young Scientist Award in both 2019 and 2021 and, in this podcast, talks about her work on suicidality and self-harm in adolescents with ADHD. Furthermore, we hear Melissa talk about the importance of evidence-based research when it comes to children and young people's mental health, plus what more can be done to disseminate and promote evidence-based science.

FuelEd was founded by Megan Marcus in 2012 on the principle that relationships drive learning. While training as a therapist and serving as a researcher for the book The Social Neuroscience of Education by Dr. Louis Cozolino, Marcus recognized the parallels between the teaching and the counseling professions: both are founded on connection, both could promote human development. She knew she was on to something. Her action: pursue a Master's degree in Education, Policy, and Management from Harvard University to explore whether elements of therapists' professional training could be translated for an educational audience. Shortly after graduation, Marcus incorporated FuelEd as a non-profit organization and launched her organization with a three-day pilot training for 10 teachers at Houston's YES Prep Southwest. Since then, FuelEd has partnered with over one hundred K-12 schools, organizations, and educator preparation programs across the country to help educators develop the emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and attunement necessary to build secure relationships that drive learning and development.   Show Highlights Destiny's story in changing lives with new tools and skills sets to overcome adversity.

What does it really mean to be on the same wavelength with someone? Is there any truth to these kinds of metaphors? Dr. Yulia Golland shows that on a certain level - yes there is.Dr. Yulia Golland is a social neuroscientist who studies interpersonal synchrony. In other words, she studies how people get in-sync with one another. Human beings are inherently social creatures, and we are constantly shaping and being shaped by our social environments. A lot of this communication happens verbally, but the majority of it happens below our conscious radar, on levels that we may not be aware of. When we interact with someone else, sometimes we can have the feeling that we're clicking or that we're on the same wavelength, so to speak. What these metaphors help us describe is that feeling when we feel a sense of rapport and connectedness with the other person. We've all had these experiences, but what Yulia does is show that not only do we experience these moments of connectedness subjectively, but she also shows that objectively there are neurological and physiological markers that also become synchronized during such interactions. So, to a certain extent, the saying that “you and I are on the same wavelength” is much more literal than we would have thought. Yulia and I spoke about the different ways in which this propensity to synchronize with others affects us, and we really got into the good, the bad, and the ugly of interpersonal synchrony. We spoke about the social nature of humans, and how there is no individual without a community around him. The interplay between the individual and the collective is eternal and the boundaries between self and the other are never quite clear. In a sense, we're immersed in a social network, that network is a part of who we are and we define ourselves based on the social context we're in. This social nature means that we have evolved to be so sensitive and receptive to the social cues around us that we do this subconsciously and automatically. I personally love research that takes mysterious phenomena like our propensity to sync up with one another - and grounds it in a secure scientific base of research - and that's exactly what Yulia does in her research. @YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBiggerPicturePodcast@Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biggerpicturepodbyroni/@Website: https://thebiggerpicturepod.com/ This is a public episode.

Alright podcast listeners, here’s a tip. If you want to get invited to be on Fundraising voices, be sure to put something like the “neuroscience of education” in your email to me. That’s what my new friends at FuelEd, who have used their experience as researchers and therapist to help educators transform their relationships with students, did. They got my attention. I got on the line with Megan Marcus and Kelley Munger on the FuelEd team to talk about relationship-driven education, the science behind emotional intelligence, and what it means for us as we engage students and donors.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, episode #105 with Dr. Keeley Munger (researcher) and Megan Marcus, (founder) of FuelEd, a non-profit organization that builds educator emotional intelligence and relationship-driven schools.Watch the interview on YouTube here. Here’s some background on our guests today, before we get into the questions:Megan Marcus holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of California at Berkeley and masters’ degrees in psychology from Pepperdine University and in education, policy, & management from Harvard University. She served as lead researcher for the book, The Social Neuroscience of Education: Optimizing Attachment & Learning in the Classroom,[i] which explores how teacher-student relationships trigger neural plasticity and optimal academic, social and emotional learning. Her experiences working on this book while training to be a counselor served as both inspiration and the research foundations for FuelEd. Dr. Kelley Munger crafts and executes research projects that enhance our understanding of social and emotional development in educational environments while also bridging the gap between science and practice. What a perfect match for the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast. Welcome Megan and Kelley.   When I saw that you were focused on educator SEL at FuelEd and that my career began as a classroom teacher over 20 years ago with a classroom of behavioral students that I couldn’t manage, I knew I had to speak with you and learn more about what you have built with FuelEd that is having such a significant impact on our schools. Thanks so much for being here today. I know how important educator SEL is from not only all of the SEL experts that I have been interviewing on this podcast, but personally since I found my first year of teaching behavioral students to be extremely difficult without any emotional intelligence skills to draw from, since these skills were left out of my teacher training. Can you tell me more about why you decided to focus on working directly with educators instead of students at FuelEd?   I did an episode when I first launched this podcast on the Why Behind Implementing an SEL program in your school or District, or an emotional intelligence program in the workplace, but with all of your research, What do you think is the best starting place when it comes to helping educators grow socially and emotionally? We all know that it was an incredibly difficult year (last year) with many schools thrown into distance learning last spring with the start of the Pandemic. How do you see this year impacting the emotional lives of educators specifically?  What do you think educators will need in order to address the large-scale trauma and stress they have experienced this year?    It’s been a few years now, but in 2018 I entered an educational policy contest to see if I could help put more of a focus on educator well-being with this awareness.The premise of the paper that I wrote that didn’t win the contest, but was a great learning experience, was that “Teaching has become a high-stress occupation, leading to educator burnout, demoralization1 in the profession, and eventual instructor dropout, creating a negative impact on society and costing $7.3B in the United States with all of the training that needs to occur. Recent studies have shown that “students’ cortisol levels were much higher if the educator was overwhelmed or experiencing burn-out.”3  “People are finally seeing what negative stress does to the body, what that does to the psyche, and what it does to school engagement. I spent hours researching this topic and met some incredible people who were doing research in this area. When I first began presenting on the topic of stress and the brain in 2016, I saw that schools in Canada seemed to be ahead of us here in the US, putting a huge focus on this topic back then. Why do you think this is such an important topic, and what do you think teachers wish that their leaders understood about educator mental health?  You mentioned a story about A veteran teacher who has always loved teaching told you recently that, after the stress of this year, he hates his job now. What are your most innovative ideas for restoring teachers and preventing them from leaving the field?

This episode explores Split-Second Perception with our guest, Dr. Jon Freeman. We discuss the use of his software MouseTracker to investigate implicit biases, how these biases affect our perception of others, and what can be done to mitigate them. Jon Freeman is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University and director of the Social Cognitive & Neural Sciences Lab. He received his Ph.D. from Tufts University and was on the faculty at Dartmouth before coming to NYU in 2014. His research focuses on how we perceive other people, such as how we categorize others into social groups, infer their emotion or personality via facial cues, and more generally how we understand and react to our social world. His work examines the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying person perception, stereotyping and decision-making in social contexts. He takes an integrative, multi-level approach that makes use of several techniques, including functional neuroimaging, computational modeling, and behavioral paradigms. He is also the developer of the data collection and analysis software, MouseTracker. Dr. Freeman is the recipient of a number of awards, including the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the Janet T. Spence Award for Transformative Early Career Contributions from the Association for Psychological Science, the Early Career Award from the Society for Social Neuroscience, the SAGE Young Scholars Award from the Society for Personality & Social Psychology, and the Early Career Award from the International Social Cognition Network. His work has appeared in media outlets such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, and TIME Magazine.

“We can't afford to not be in the pre-frontal cortex. In the information age, it's exponentially important to be in that part of our brain.” – Scott Ummel In this wide-ranging conversation, Ethan and Mike bring on another Nash Consulting trainer and consultant, Mr. Scott Ummel. Scott, our inhouse Wizkid on the social neuroscience of leadership, discusses the concept of S.C.A.R.F. and its impact on how we lead, manage, collaborate and operate in the workplace. S.C.A.R.F. is an acronym for the five things our brains are always scanning for in our environment: Status (our pecking order in a community), Certainty (our need for consistency in our environment), Autonomy (the perception of having control), Relatedness (having a sense of inclusion) and Fairness (the need to be treated equally). Tune in to learn more about how our brains work and how we can use that information to lead well and thrive in the workplace.

Patagonia, the clothing company beloved for its mountain-ready apparel, has for the last few years been embarking on a journey of its own. Rather than simply avoid doing the planet harm, Patagonia wants to regenerate and protect Mother Earth through its environmental practices. But one day Dean Carter, Patagonia’s CHRO, had an idea. What if those same regenerative practices were brought internally, so that the company put as much into its employees as it took out? Might the company also flourish? Our host Chris Weller is joined by Dean Carter (Patagonia) and David Rock (Neuroleadership Institute).

Dr. Kavanagh lectures across both the undergraduate and postgraduate psychology programs, provides research supervision to honors, master's, and PhD students, and clinical supervision to students in the clinical program. In this episode, we talk about the relationship between evolutionary psychology and clinical psychology, and the discipline of evolutionary clinical psychology. We go through some major issues, like how to properly classify something as a mental disorder/disease; how our modern environments differ in significant ways from the environments we evolved in, and the problems that brings, and the phenomenon of evolutionary mismatch; the several different schools of thought that we have in clinical psychology, and if it would be possible to unify them under a core theory; the difficulties in objectively evaluating patients; life history strategies, and the problems that arise when we have unfulfilled expectations. We also talk about personality variation, and the relevance of personality inventories, like the Big Five, in a clinical context; the sociometer theory, and its explanatory power; how our modern obsession with happiness might be problematic. Finally, we discuss recent literature on the Dark Triad and the Light Triad of human nature. -- Follow Dr. Kavanagh's work: Institute for Social Neuroscience: https://bit.ly/2P6L3vp Faculty page (University of South Australia): https://bit.ly/2KzFc2T Articles on Researchgate: https://bit.ly/2tGSek1 Twitter handle: @Dr_Phil_K -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK, AIRES ALMEIDA, AND BERNARDO SEIXAS!

Intro: Hi, welcome to My Creativity - the podcast about being creative and producing output. I'm your host Surrey I reveal how I work, my projects, my process… well, my creativity. From the planning and goal setting, to how I stay accountable for my output, to the way ideas pop into my head and to the frameworks I use to stimulate my creativity and formalise it.Next weeks goals: exit plan season 3 formatted more website: specifically - add social icons to exit plan episodes - create product pages for shopEnergy Multiple people have at various times asked how it is I can get anything done first thing in the morning or after work. Isn't my mind fried? Well, obviously it isn't. But why? Brendon Burchard, author of High Performance Habits, likes to say a power station doesn't have energy it creates it. Well that's all well and good but I know there was once a time when the thought of doing anything except staring at TV or playing computer games was well beyond me. My mind was fried at the end of the day. I'm a computer programmer, analyst and technical architect during my day job. Suffice to say my main tool of trade is my brain. So it's reasonable that after using it all day to think through IT problems, develop new solutions and understand complex relationships between different pools of data my tank would be dry. But I've since learned a secret that put a stop to that. Want to hear it? It's pretty dumb. Ok, your mental reserves - your strength of willpower - is limited only by your belief that it is limited. What? I know how you feel. That's how I felt when I first heard it. But I found that after reading the research on the topic and practicing mindfulness that it not only started to make sense but started to work.Old school of thought: It was previously thought that willpower was a pool that got depleted during the day. Ego depletion model it is called. But more recent research has failed to duplicate that result. Additionally after some experimentation it was found we have essentially unlimited willpower. In part this comes back to growth mindset versus fixed mindset. If you don't know what I'm talking about then go back and listen to episode 2 where I talk about Carol Dweck's work on mindset. The short version, and there are complications and subtleties involved for sure is: In a study conducted by the Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck and her colleagues, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Dweck concluded that signs of ego depletion were observed only in test subjects who believed willpower was a limited resource. Those participants who did not see willpower as finite did not show signs of ego depletion.Michael Inzlicht, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and the principal investigator at the Toronto Laboratory for Social Neuroscience, believes willpower is not a finite resource but instead acts like an emotion. Just as we don’t “run out” of joy or anger, willpower ebbs and flows based on what’s happening to us and how we feel. Viewing willpower through this lens has profound implications.So motivation and willpower is like an emotion. We can't run out of it but it does mean we need to manage our experience of it so it is sustainable. Just like we don't want to stop feeling sadness but rather we want to manage it so it is less likely to become depression. We want to manage our willpower and motivation so it doesn't desert us when we want it and neeed it. So what are some things to keep in mind?The number one thing that keeps our energy levels up is doing something we enjoy and / or find purpose in. Multi-tasking kills motivation and willpower, Lack of sleep prevents us from focussing and stops our bodies from functioning correctly at all, Repeating unhelpful stories about ourselves pushes the fixed mindset.What have I done and what do I do to keep my energy up and keep me motivated? eat well. Forget any special diet. You know how to eat well, you know what you shouldn't eat. The thing that is missing is knowing why you should eat well. We all know our diet should comprise primarily of fruit and vegetables that we prepare ourselves. IE: low processing before we get our hands on them. This is important because the types of processing we can do in our homes is different from the types of processing that can be done industrially and it is the fruit and veg that does us good, not the additives used to ensure shelf life and good appearance. Why eat well? Our bodies and brains have evolved over millions of years to perform their function while consuming fruit, veg and wild caught or grass fed meat and fish. You can forego the meat if you prefer and many cultures do, so obviously that can be done. If we give our bodies what they were built to use they will work the way they are meant to work. That's why we eat right. Personally I use intermittent fasting. I initially tried the 5/2 diet which is 2 days of the week without eating (technically you can have like 500 calories or such, but I found it easier to skip altogether). But I found the 2 days fasting just too tricky to maintain and I'd be starving hungry and not feeling energised at all. Others have great success. I instead to 16/8 ro 18/6 fasting. Which means 16 - 18 hours without calorie intake with just 6 - 8 hours to eat. It sounds tricky but what it really means is I don't eat breakfast until 1pm. So easy to do. I just go to work with my breakfast in a thermos and eat it after I've been for my lunchtime run. I get home at 6:30pm and generally dinner is ready so I eat and stop eating about 7-7:30. It's that easy. I initially would get hungry but now I'm so used to it. I think because it is every day I retain the same routine and that becomes my pattern. But I'm a creature of routine and predictable patterns (that is, the patterns are predictable to me though others may have the illusion that I'm spontaneous. Except my wife. She knows I can't handle sudden course changes and I need warning or my brain goes haywire. So my apparently spontaneous actions are actually planned moments of spontenaity). exercise daily. Again. We all know this. It isn't hidden secret sauce known only to a select few. We all know we should exercise often and regularly. I walk the dog, garden, run, ride and do body weight resistance training. Others might walk, swim and dance. At the least you should walk for half an hour a day. It can be done while doing other stuff like shopping, talking, or listening to podcasts. work on the train in the morning. Watch netflix on the train home. I work on the train in the morning on my scripts, books and other creative stuff. By engaging in something I love first thing I keep my energy high. Netflix on the train home keeps me consuming sci fi and fantasy and allows me to switch mental modes from work to free imagination. I have stopped watching television and reduced game playing to 20-30 minutes maximum once or twice a week. This is because I gain no additional benefit from these activities. TV is just full of ads for things I don't care about or presents news designed to incite fear or anger. I can get all the video entertainment I need on demand without ads and so do it on the train on the way home or in the evening with my family. get to bed at a decent time on the weekend so I'm up at 6:30 - 7am and able to get stuff done before the day starts. By 9am I've usually had a good hour of my work, the chance to sit and enjoy a slow coffee, done the dishes and other bits and pieces. So i can go out with the family or work around the house. Sleep is so important. Forget these people who say you aren't committed unless your up at 4:30am There's nothing magical about that time and it is a false economy as it means you need to be in bed by 8:30pm or you will become chronicaly sleep deprived which is the opposite of being productive. I write my goals down and always, always refer them back to my annual priorities which have been aligned to my mission goals. This way i know i am always moving forwards. With goals that lead toward my mission and my mission derived from my passion I maintain a sense of forward momentum. Every week I report on this podcast the tasks I've completed and goals I've reached. By seeing those goals tick off I retain a sense of purpose to my activities. And one of the biggest things i do is mindful result visualisation. You'll hear similar things from the law of attraction, the secret and others. But it isn't magic or "the universe" sending things to me. It is a way of enjoying the feeling of success before you have it. Sort of the opposite of worry. Worry is disliking the feeling of failure before it happens and for some reason so many people do it. I work hard every day to enjoy ahead of time the feeling of excitement and elation from achievement. It means I make decisions that head toward success rather than steer away from failure. If you can see the difference. mind you, failure is just natures way of teaching you how to succeed so don't be afraid of that in the slightest.So that's energy.next week is an interview I did with Fox Ward.new goals: - exit plan - send out season 3 scripts with a deadline for the lines to return. - Add social links and feed links to my other podcast episode pages. - finish first draft up to chapter 3 of book 2

Erik Schoppen is a brand expert, neuroscientist and behavioral researcher, innovator and designer. He is an authority on trust, privacy, influence, behavior and sustainable brand positioning, experience, management, reputation and innovation. As a chance-thinking innovator and idea accelerator, he has now built up a reputation, inspiring people and organizations with his surprisingly substantive vision of a future-oriented sustainable economy. He is the inventor and co-founder of the online research platform WorldBrainWave. Check out some of the topics that we covered during our fascinating discussion with Erik: People are willing to pay for the trust in their brain. It is actually mental equity that is based on trust. The trust is also a huge question when we look at sustainability. Sustainable brands’ have other purpose than only to make money. The organizations have to be financially healthy and through their activity they make the world a better place. The triangle of people, planet, profit or prosperity is ingrained n their business model. A good organization with sustainable branding is incorporating all these aspects. If we buy an honest product the product is the promise. A sustainable strong brand first has to look company itself inside that is called internal branding. What are the values, purpose, vision, mission? so what kind of message and which products are being sent it to the world? The Building when the product is developed. It should be durable good product, manufactured on a fair way socially and environmentally. However a good product is not enough in itself. The Bridging makes it social proof when many people accept and trust in the product. Many good products fail because they don’t reach the social proof state. The Bonding part is when the trust is complete when people match their own values with the brand and brand fit is being created. And we can still ask: How can brands continously innovate? Are they predicting the future? Predicting the future is difficult as the timeline goes ahead the vision get blurry. However in core human behavior remains the same that provide reference points for inventors. Neural interface is were technology currently goes. It will have all kinds of benefits but at the same time it can enhance inequality. Moreover applying neural interface has the threat that our brain can get hacked, our memories can get changed.

Being able to connect and empathize with teammates and our opponents is a powerful skill that youth sports helps us to develop. In this episode, we talk about learning empathy through youth sports - what it looks like, good examples, bad examples, and some things to look if you're coaching character development in your program. Too often, we overlook the lesson of empathy through youth sports as soft or less valuable than other lessons, but as we'll discover, this can be one of the more important lessons our kids can learn in the youth sports environment. "Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another and feeling with the heart of another"- Alfred AdlerWhat is Empathy and why is it so important in life?How does youth sports help kids to develop empathy? How do we deliberately create an environment where empathy can grow?How can Empathetic kids and parents improve the game of soccer and elevate the sport?"Empathy, which implies a shared interpersonal experience, is implicated in many aspects of social cognition, notably prosocial behavior, morality and the regulation of aggression."Jean DecetyCenter for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience, Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry, University of ChicagoEmpathy as a Key IngredientAnyone who has worked for someone else for any length of time understands that there are differences between "bosses" and "leaders." Totally task oriented, overlooking the human elements - if the person in charge lacks empathy, employees are often miserable. It is said that when people are dissatisfied at work, they leave their bosses, not their jobs.There is a difference between the "Boss" and the leader: Empathy. Taken to the extreme, a lack of empathy is seen along a spectrum of personality disorders from narcissism to antisocial personality disorders. We might make an argument that Empathy is one of those traits that act like social glue that holds people together in communities. It allows us to experience other important emotions like respect for others and remorse when we've done something to hurt someone. People leave managers, not companies."Marcus Buckingham, Author and Speakerhttps://www.marcusbuckingham.com/The Advantage of Learning Empathy Through Youth SportsYouth sports helps kids to develop and mature Empathy. From the first time they take a knee at a soccer match in respect for a fallen colleague, to each time they encounter the natural coupling of a win and a loss, kids mix and journey with one another through literally thousands of events each season.Practices offer chances for kids to see one another push themselves - or not. They get to choose whether to offer encouragement when a team mate is down, or run past them. They see one another when they are making mistakes and may be feeling vulnerable. Kids can choose to taunt and belittle one another into action, or they can choose to lift one another to greatness. Kids take cues from the adults in their lives as to how they should behave. In the learning process, they try different adult examples on for size. They might try yelling at one another, calling out "wake up out there!" or "what's wrong with you?!" Or they may choose to take the shot every time, or to intentionally pass the ball to a team mate who needs to build a little confidence shooting on goal. Often, the kids show demonstrate Empathy on a sports field are the ones who bubble up to the surface over time as team leaders - even when they are not the most technically gifted player on the team. Kids can choose to taunt and belittle one another into action, or they can choose to lift one another to greatness."David Dejewski, Coach and President of the Damascus Soccer ClubWHAT DOES Empathy - OR LACK OF Empathy - IN YOUTH SPORTS LOOK LIKE?Positive ExamplesJunior, a high school player, puts his arm around an opponent after a game who is clearly upset and says "you guys are getting much better - you're going to beat us one of these times.

This week’s show focuses on the stereotypes and biases that come from our life experiences and our interactions with others. Dr. Chad Forbes, an Associate Professor of Social Neuroscience in the department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware, discusses how these biases evolve and how people can find ways to justify inherent bias in their minds.

Welcome to Episode 6, where Professor JOHN CACIOPPO and I talk about inferring causal associations between mind and body, and how to be human is to care for others.   John is the Tiffany and Margaret Blake Distinguished Service Professor, and the founder and director of the Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience, at the University of Chicago   John’s contributions to the fields of Social Psychology, Psychophysiology, Social Neuroscience (an entire field he helped create more or less from scratch), research methodology, philosophy of science…on and on…would be hard or impossible to overstate. He is a quasi-religious figure to me in that I’ve been reading his methodological critiques and recommendations about mind-body research, as well as his work on the Elaboration Likelihood Model, Electromyography, and Loneliness, for my entire career. I’ve described his groundbreaking book, PRINCIPLES OF PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY (later, the HANDBOOK OF PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY) as the holy text of my scholarly origin story, and I mean it. It was published in 1990, right about the time I went back to college as a nervous 21-year-old, and soon after going to work in John Gottman’s lab. There, the book was literally required reading. As I moved through graduate school and well into my career, John has been a guide to the work I do, conceptually, methodologically, and philosophically, and the same can be said of a relatively unknown ocean of researchers all across the globe.    John’s recent popular book, LONELINESS, covers decades of work he and others have done documenting the cost of social isolation, whether “objective” isolation (as he calls it) or perceived. It turns out that perceived isolation may be the most harmful of the two kinds, and in any case, isolation kills. We are not a species that relies on our own resources to survive just long enough to reproduce. We are a species that cares for others, and that expects to be cared for.    At any rate, I hope you enjoy this chance to spend a little time with one of psychology’s most prolific and restless minds. I know I did.    *    *    * As always, remember that this podcast is brought to you by VQR and the Center for Media and Citizenship. Plus, we're a member of the TEEJ.FM podcast network.   AND...

In this series, we review the book, 'The Social Neuroscience of Education' by Louis Cozolino. In the Introduction and Chapter 1, we explore the question: do the educational paradigms of our schools match our scientific understanding of learning in the brain? Listen to learn more about how relationships can be a powerful tool in promoting learning and growth in students. www.tipbs.com

For this episode, special guest Nancy Padilla (E5: Neural Oscillations) returns to talk about a topic she now studies: social neuroscience. We get into the methods this rather new field uses to probe the neural processes behind social interaction, including the inherent difficulties in studying such a complex subject. We go from special pathways for bottom-up social processing such as smells and facial recognition to ideas about theory of mind and cooperation. In the process, we hit on the mirror neuron system, simultaneous dual-brain recordings, and the role of philosophy in the field. Two common questions throughout are: (1) are humans unique amongst animals? and (2) is social processing unique amongst neuroscience topics? Ultimately, we try to discover if social neuroscience is greater than the sum of its parts. We read: Conceptual Challenges and Directions for Social Neuroscience Brain Basis of Human Social Interaction: From Concepts to Brain Imaging Brain-to-Brain coupling: A mechanism for creating and sharing a social world And mentioned: Episode 10: Brain Size

  IN THIS EPISODE:The Neuroscience Of Psychotherapy: An Interview With Louis CozolinoYou may also be interest to hear an updated interview with Lou Cozolino Neurofluency    (https://www.therapistuncensored.com/tu89/) Show NotesA fan devouring Dr Cozolino’s work Patty Olwell and Louis Cozolino have a wide-ranging discussion of interpersonal neurobiology and how it explains why good therapy works. They also use this lens to talk about why good teachers are effective. Finally, they touch on Cozolino’s current work around executive function and it’s importance in being a good manager. Why Psychotherapy WorksCozolino discusses how he views psychotherapy as a learning context where the therapist is trying to stimulate learning and change in the client. Neuroscience focuses on brain plasticity and what stimulates learning and change in the brain. As he studied both these interests he was struck by the realization that “psychotherapy had been guided by the invisible hand of neroplastic principles from the beginning”.These are just two different lenses to look at the same process. Common FactorsHe outlined four common factors that are necessary to foster neuroplasticity and effective therapy. Establishing a safe relationship – learning and change can only take place in safety. Mild to moderate stress – some stress fosters plasticity but beyond a certain threshold the brain systems that control change and learning shut down. Activation of thinking and feeling – you can’t think your way through therapy nor can you feel your way through therapy. He posits that integrating neural systems that are dedicated to the left side (biased toward cognition) and right side (biased toward emotion) of the brain is underlying the effectiveness of psychotherapy. Creating a new adaptive personal story – effective therapy creates a story that includes an explaination of what went wrong and an explanation of what you have to do to correct it and move toward health. Cozolino says the stories contain a memory for the future.   RESOURCES: (https://www.therapistuncensored.com/resources/) Additional resources for this episode: Louis Cozolino: The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy: Healing the Social Brain (Third Edition)  (http://amzn.to/2sWBlnc) (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology) 2017 Louis Cozolino: The Neuroscience of Human Relationships: Attachment and the Developing Social Brain (Second Edition) (http://amzn.to/2v3q6Gd) (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology) 2014 Louis Cozolino:  Attachment-Based Teaching: Creating a Tribal Classroom (http://amzn.to/2sHd9kL) (The Norton Series on the Social Neuroscience of Education) 2014 Louis Cozolino: Why Therapy Works: Using Our Minds to Change Our Brains (http://amzn.to/2sH2oyH) (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology) 2015 Louis Cozolino:  The Social Neuroscience of Education: Optimizing Attachment and Learning in the Classroom (http://amzn.to/2u01Mby) (The Norton Series on the Social Neuroscience of Education) 2013 These and other resources have been collected for you on our Resources page!

Recent attempts to use findings in neuroscience to inform our understanding of religious experience have focused on explaining the origins of religious activity and belief as potential byproducts of neural structures that evolved for, and were exapted from, other biological functions. Brain mechanisms implicated in attributing agency, detecting intentions, social reward, pro-social adaptation, and other aspects of social cognition have variously been proposed as potential pathways leading to the emergence of commonalities in religion and ritual across cultures. Conversely, conditions where those mechanisms are perturbed or impaired are potentially useful in testing new theories in neurotheology. Most proposals in this area have neglected the role of development and early experience in shaping neural function throughout the lifespan. This presentation will provide an overview of recent research in developmental social neuroscience, in the context of autism, in order to explore the extent to which social cognition in general and neurodevelopmental disorders in particular may or may not be able to shed light on religiosity. This talk was presented as part of the CMBC 2017 Summer Workshop.

How people think about the self strongly influences their social communica- tion and behavior. Recent cultural neuroscience studies have shown increas- ing evidence for modulation of neural representation of the self by cultural contexts and cultural experiences. I will present our recent research that used different psychological paradigms and different brain imaging methods to in- vestigate cultural influences on neural mechanisms underlying self-reflection on personal attributes. I will also present preliminary brain imaging results that uncover how genes may interact with culture to shape the social brain network activity involved in reflection on the self and close others. These findings are helpful for understanding the biosocial nature of neural mechanisms of human self-concept. Dr. Shihui Han is a professor at the Department of Psychology, Peking Uni- versity. He is the director of the Cultural and Social Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory. He served as the Chair of the Department of Psychology at Peking University between 2003 and 2007.

The study of culture and biology have historically been stratified, however, recent theoretical and methodological advances in cultural and biological sciences provide novel opportunities for understanding the nature and origin of human diversity by bridging these gaps. Cultural neuroscience is an emerging interdisciplinary science that investigates cultural variation in psychological, neural and genomic processes as a means of articulating the bidirectional relationship of these processes and their emergent properties. Here I will discuss how cultural and genetic diversity affect mind, brain and behavior across multiple timescales. Specifically, in this talk, I will review recent evidence elucidating the effect of cultural values, practices, and beliefs, such as individualism-collectivism, racial identification, and preference for social hierarchy, on brain and behavior. I will also present evidence for culture-gene coevolution of individualism-collectivism and the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR). Finally, I will examine the implications of cultural neuroscience research for addressing population health disparities and public policy across the globe. Dr. Joan Y. Chiao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University.

Behavior & actions are birthed out of the spirit! It's less about new advice, more information and shoving in discipline in from the outside. Lasting behavior change comes from the application of what we learn out of the over flow of a new heart!

Despite tallies of Facebook friends or Evites in inboxes, loneliness happens. It can strike us while we’re dining at a table of one, taking a long solo journey, or even while we’re with family and friends. The lonely feel more depressed, more deeply addicted, and are more easily angered. Why does loneliness hit and why does it hurt? Humans have evolved, thanks to the long period of abject dependency of our offspring, as social beings, with brains wired for communication and empathy. Forming and maintaining social connections—from romantic partners to families, communities, cities, and civilizations—is essential to our survival. John Cacioppo, director of the Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience at the University of Chicago and co-author of Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection, visited Zócalo to discuss the evolutionary basis of human relationships and why they matter.

*Did you know that the health risks associated with loneliness are about the same as the risks associated with obesity?* Yes, that’s right, it’s not just your emotional well-being that is affected by your social interactions and intimate relationships — your longevity is also directly and adversely impacted by loneliness. In fact, loneliness can actually change your personality, making you more selfish and less sensitive to others. It’s also strongly associated with an increased risk for dementia, and lonely people actually have a 20% increase in their risk for early death from heart disease, stroke, or cancer. In the final episode of this three-part breather show about the future of health and fitness and the 9 tips you can take to transform your life this year, we will cover the last four items on the list: #6: Prioritizing live social interaction and your intimate circle of family and friends #7: Evolving love relationships to the next level #8: Reprogramming your brain and, finally: #9: Taking baby steps to achieve your goals Here we go! *Prioritizing Family and Friends, Your ‘Intimate’ Circle:* It’s no secret that a lot of people feel lonely during this pandemic, but maybe one lesson we can learn from that is to be more proactive in making plans and engaging in live social interaction. The truth is, loneliness is a big deal; Keto For Life explains why when discussing longevity attributes: “Two-thirds of Americans have lost 90 percent of their friends over the past decade. Common reasons include moving to a new city, entering an all-consuming romantic relationship, or simply drifting apart. Thirty-three percent of Americans admit to having had a falling-out with a close friend or extended family member such that they are not on speaking terms. Thirty percent more people live alone in the United States than did in 1980, many of them elderly and thus less likely to engage socially outside the home. *The disastrous health consequences of loneliness and isolation are widely acknowledged.* Social isolation is strongly associated with increased risk of dementia. Lonely people have a 20 percent increased risk of early death by cancer, heart disease, and stroke. These are about the same as obesity risks! Loneliness and isolation can actually change your personality whereby you become more selfish and less sensitive to others. This is a genetically programmed survival mechanism against the very real survival threat that isolation posed in primal times.” John Cacioppo, PhD, director of the University of Chicago’s Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience, and author of Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection , describes the phenomenon as follows: “When you feel lonely, you get more defensive. You focus more on self-preservation, even though this is not done intentionally. Completely unbeknownst to you, your brain is focusing more on self-preservation than the preservation of those around you. This, in turn, can make you less pleasant to be around.” *Evolving Love Relationships to Next Level: Emotionally Intelligent Relationships:* My shows with John Gray ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2020/04/07/john-gray-2/ ) and Wendy Walsh ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2018/10/02/wendywalsh/ ) are both great resources for information about this topic. The last time John was on the podcast, we discussed his book, Beyond Mars and Venus, and he talked about how one of the challenges of modern times is how evolving cultural dynamics are asking more from romantic relationships than ever before. Another thing John stressed was the importance of nurturing our biological drives so we can optimize our hormones with good relationship practices, and the Essential Male/Female Assignments, which are: Men: Engage in Venus talks and don’t speak when you have a negative emotional charge (be a calm, cool, and collected Kung fu master!). Take cave time to replenish testosterone (by solving problems, tackling challenges, etc). David Deida, author of The Way of Superior Man, advises us to, “lean into a female’s emotional outbursts.” Women: Don’t nitpick, and work to express everything as preference. Remember that men just want to be the hero in the story. Wendy Walsh says there are “no rules” (e.i., swiping a screen to find a new mate). In discussing the challenges of the all consuming modern relationship, Wendy asserts that “too much autonomy means no intimacy. Too much union means fusion, and that’s not healthy either.” Some great takeaways from John Gottman: “Discover your own happiness and bring it to a relationship.” John Gray says to look to yourself to be happy, and a relationship to make you happier. Get that 80% by yourself, and the final 20% is the cherry on top. It’s also key to realize that you can’t change your partner. “Most martial arguments cannot be solved, because they emanate from fundamental differences in lifestyle, personality, or values. Fighting is something that wastes time and harms your marriage. A successful relationship depends on the e xtent to which the male can accept the influence of the woman he loves and become socialized in emotional communication.” In your day-to-day lives as a couple, you have hit upon a dynamic that keeps your negative thoughts and feelings about each other (which all couples have) from overwhelming the positive ones. The goal is to have an emotionally intelligent marriage. Also, keep in mind that, “neuroses don’t have to ruin a marriage. If you can accommodate each other’s ‘crazy’ side and handle it with caring, affection, and respect, your marriage can thrive.” *Reprogramming Your Brain:* One recurring theme in all our lives is that we are replaying flawed childhood programming and our subconscious runs the show, 93-98% of time, as per Bruce Lipton. The way to counteract this is by awakening to this idea, acknowledging our patterned behavior and ‘issues’ and taking some space to control thoughts and emotions. Work on responding, instead of reacting. One of my most inspiring shows was with John Assaraf ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2020/09/15/john-assaraf-innercise-unlocking-the-power-of-your-trillion-dollar-brain-with-easy-habit-formation-and-doing-a-little-anyway-even-if-you-dont/ ) , who talked about Innercise, which is how to rewire your brain neurons through “tiny actions” that are do-able and non-intimidating. This helps build up your confidence and also helps you to start thinking differently. The brain has neuroplasticity, meaning it can become rewired for success and positivity, so why not take advantage of this? Remember to “Take 6” under stress. There are also a host of other techniques that take practice and repetition: affirmations, positive self talk, tools like MyNeurogym online courses, physical priming techniques like diaphragmatic breathing, meditation and mindfulness training, CBT, subliminal tapes. Or how about just refraining from self-critical comments and self-limiting beliefs? And then, start envisioning some possibilities? I also love what Jack Canfield says about implementing ‘Turnaround statements’: “If you want to find happiness in life, put a muzzle on that inner critic and transform it into an encouraging, loving, and positive inner coach.” The inner critic can be incredibly destructive; Canfield cites research that we talk to ourselves around 50,000 times per day and that 80 percent of that self-talk is negative. Canfield’s suggestion is to identify the belief you would like to change, determine how that belief limits you, and decide how you would rather be, act, or feel. Then, create a “turnaround statement” that affirms or gives you permission to be, act, or feel this new way. Then, you implant the statement into your subconscious mind by repeating the statement for 2-3 minutes, several times per day for a minimum of thirty days. If this stuff sounds silly to you, you’re right. The Imperative Habit is full of great words of wisdom from Dave Rossi, one of my favorites being the importance of sticking to your values and vision when you experience stress, fear, pressure. He also suggests we try framing these negative emotions entirely differently, so we can see that stress, fear, and pressure are actually choices. And they’re caused by obsessing on an outcome or what you think others might think. So just fake it ‘till you make it if necessary! Do something about it. Eliminating stuff that makes you unhappy is ultimately what leads to happiness. I also love what psychologist Gay Hendricks says in his book, The Big Leap, which advances the compelling argument that we bump up against an “Upper Limit” in life. Hendricks describes, “An inner thermostat setting that determines how much love, success, and creativity we allow ourselves to enjoy. That thermostat setting usually gets programmed in early childhood. Once programmed, our Upper-Limit thermostat setting holds us back from enjoying all the love, financial abundance, and creativity that’s rightfully ours.” *Taking Baby Steps to Achieve Your Goals:* There seems to be a huge recurring theme that, instead of grand plans and huge goals and dreams, you just take baby steps, meaning, you set do-able, intermediate step goals. Instead of a million zillion, see if you can get a handle on your consumer debt and start spreadsheeting. My morning routine ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2020/02/14/simple-morning-routine/ ) has been a life changer for a free-wheeler like me. As I’m now on a 4 year streak with this routine, it’s become less and less reliant on thought and motivation and willpower - I just know it will happen. Finally, when it comes to achieving goals, and the things you do in order to make them happen, remember that taking baby steps is the key to actually making progress. Don’t think, don’t judge, don’t hesitate - just do what you can, when you can, and then enjoy watching all your efforts add up over time! *TIMESTAMPS:* Brad starts by review of the first predictions for the first two breather shows. Diet, fitness workplace and career dynamic, and discipline with technology were covered. [01:47] Prioritizing your family and friends is more important than ever. When things get back to normal, we will appreciate how important it is. [02:42] Loneliness and isolation are more prevalent than we realize. [04:32] Evolve your love relationship to the next level. Understand how the roles have changed. [07:20] Males should never speak when he is experiencing a negative emotional charge. [12:58] Females need to vent as part of their biological drive to connect but never nitpick. [14:12] Discover your own happiness and then bring that happiness and that stability to the relationship, rather than looking to a relationship to fill a void in you or to make you feel whole. [16:22] Realize that you cannot change your partner. [20:13] Reprogram your brain neurons with tiny actions that are doable. [22:37] Take Six is a good strategy to remember when under stress.  Take six deep diaphragmatic breaths.  [26:59] Learn to be a listener. Learn to make “turn-around statements.” [31:01] When you experience stress, fear or pressure in daily life, you want to redirect your thoughts to your values and your vision.
