In this episode review (Season 14, Ep. 372), Andrea revisits interviews with Dr. Dan Siegel to explore Mindsight—the focused attention that helps us see and reshape our own minds and connect with others. She breaks down how Mindsight underpins social and emotional intelligence and offers practical ways to develop it, including theory-of-mind practice, the Wheel of Awareness, and daily narrative reading. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ A deeper definition of Mindsight or seeing the mind in another Mindsight, a term coined by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, is the ability to perceive the mind within ourselves and others. It goes beyond simply observing behavior; it's about sensing thoughts, feelings, intentions, and perspectives that aren't immediately visible. This skill allows us to look beneath the surface of words and actions, to “see” the mind behind them, which leads to deeper empathy, better relationships, and stronger social intelligence. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others. In simple terms, it's recognizing that other people have thoughts and feelings that may be different from our own. This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others.

This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ Practical tips to improve our Mindsight or Theory of Mind abilities Pause and Reflect – Before reacting, ask yourself: What might this person be thinking or feeling right now? Name Emotions – Practice labeling your own emotions and noticing them in others (“I feel frustrated” → “They might be anxious”). Perspective-Taking Exercises – Put yourself in someone else's shoes: If I were in their position, what would I be experiencing? Read Fiction Regularly – Choose stories with complex characters and notice how your mind tracks their thoughts and motives. Practice Curiosity in Conversations – Instead of assuming, ask open-ended questions to better understand another's perspective. Mindfulness Training – Strengthen your awareness of your inner world, which improves your ability to tune into the inner world of others. The episode also emphasizes the importance of face-to-face relationships for learning and development, contrasts relational learning with screen-based approaches, and provides actionable tips educators and listeners can use to strengthen empathy, self-awareness, and relational skills. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Which brings up to today's episode #372, where we will take Dr. Dan Siegel's concept of Mindsight, to the next level. On our last EP 371 with Dan Siegel, PART 1 of our review of a very early interview EP 28[i], recorded in November 2019, we covered the importance of: Understanding and Applying Mindsight which is “the way we focus our attention on the internal world. It's how we bring consciousness to our own thoughts and feelings, and how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.” Mindsight is a concept Dr. Siegel felt to be critical for us to develop noting this skill to be “the basis for social and emotional development.” He notes, that it's a teachable set of skills that we can teach in school, and once mastered is a truly transformational tool. In his book, Mindsight he explains this concept further: “Mindsight is a kind of focused attention that allows us to see the internal workings of our own minds. (and we've been talking about how important it is to go within, for true change in our lives to occur). It helps us to be aware of our mental processes without being swept away by them, (which) enables us to get ourselves off the autopilot of ingrained behaviors and habitual responses, and moves us beyond the reactive emotional loops we all have a tendency to get trapped in. It lets us “name and tame” the emotions we are experiencing, rather than being overwhelmed by them. Consider the difference between saying “I am sad” and “I feel sad.” Similar as those two statements may seem, there is actually a profound difference between them. “I am sad” is a kind of self-definition, and a very limiting one. “I feel sad” suggests the ability to recognize and acknowledge a feeling, without being consumed by it. The focusing skills that are part of mindsight make it possible to see what is inside, to accept it, and in the accepting to let it go, and, finally, to transform it into a NEW reality. You can also think of mindsight as a very special lens that gives us the capacity to perceive the mind with greater clarity than ever before. This lens is something that virtually everyone can develop, and once we have it we can dive deeply into the mental sea inside, exploring our own inner lives and those of others. A uniquely human ability, mindsight allows us to examine closely, in detail and in depth, the processes by which we think, feel, and behave. And it allows us to reshape and redirect our inner experiences so that we have more freedom of choice in our everyday actions, (giving us) more power to create the future, to become the author of our own story. Another way to put it is that mindsight is the basic skill that underlies everything we mean when we speak of having social and emotional intelligence.” (Dr. Daniel J Siegel, Mindsight, Location 105, Kindle Edition).

We're excited to have Adi Ganesan, a PhD researcher at Stony Brook University, Penn University, and Vanderbilt, on the show. We'll talk about how large language models LLMs) are being tested and used in psychology, citing examples from mental health research. Fun fact: Adi was Sid's research partner during his Ph.D. program.Discussion highlightsLanguage models struggle with certain aspects of therapy including being over-eager to solve problems rather than building understandingCurrent models are poor at detecting psychomotor symptoms from text alone but are oversensitive to suicidality markersCognitive reframing assistance represents a promising application where LLMs can help identify thought trapsProper evaluation frameworks must include privacy, security, effectiveness, and appropriate engagement levelsTheory of mind remains a significant challenge for LLMs in therapeutic contexts; example: The Sally-Anne Test.Responsible implementation requires staged evaluation before patient-facing deploymentResourcesTo learn more about Adi's research and topics discussed in this episode, check out the following resources:Large language models could change the future of behavioral healthcare: a proposal for responsible development and evaluationTherapist Behaviors paper: [2401.00820] A Computational Framework for Behavioral Assessment of LLM Therapists Cognitive reframing paper: Cognitive Reframing of Negative Thoughts through Human-Language Model Interaction - ACL Anthology Faux Pas paper: Testing theory of mind in large language models and humans | Nature Human Behaviour READI: Readiness Evaluation for Artificial Intelligence-Mental Health Deployment and Implementation (READI): A Review and Proposed Framework Large language models could change the future of behavioral healthcare: A proposal for responsible development and evaluation | npj Mental Health Research GPT-4's Schema of Depression: Explaining GPT-4's Schema of Depression Using Machine Behavior AnalysisAdi's Profile: Adithya V Ganesan - Google Scholar What did you think?

Understanding your audience's psychology is the key to crafting communication that resonates.Persuading others isn't about magic spells or mind-reading tricks. According to Emily Falk, the real secret is simpler: know what your audience finds relevant, and you'll be able to craft a message that resonates.Falk is a professor of communication, psychology, and marketing at the University of Pennsylvania, Vice Dean of the Annenberg School of Communication, and director of the Communication Neuroscience Lab. In her book What We Value: The Neuroscience of Choice and Change, she reveals that our brains have what she calls a "social relevance system" — our ability to understand what other people are thinking and feeling. "I use social relevance as this kind of catchall for these thoughts about what other people are thinking and feeling, which also helps us predict what they're gonna do and how we might communicate successfully with them," she explains.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Falk and host Matt Abrahams explore how to put this insight into practice, from the power of storytelling to leveraging "neural synchrony" to create shared understanding. Whether you're motivating a team or influencing a customer, Falk offers science-backed strategies for tapping into your audience's psychology and communicating with relevance.Episode Reference Links:Emily FalkEmily's Book: What We ValueEp.39 Brains Love Stories: How Leveraging Neuroscience Can Capture People's EmotionsEp.188 Mind Reading 101: To Know What Your Audience Thinks, Just Ask 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 (02:47) - Neuroscience & Behavior Prediction (04:05) - Brain Systems in Persuasion (05:28) - Tailoring Messages for Impact (08:06) - Psychological Closeness & Relevance (10:34) - Power of Storytelling (13:48) - Neural Synchrony & Shared Meaning (15:33) - Better Conversations Through Sync (20:11) - Rapid-Fire Q&A with Emily Falk (24:23) - Conclusion ********This Episode is brought to you by Strawberry.me.

Wer immer noch an der Intelligenz der Tiere zweifelt, dem sei diese Episode ans Herz gelegt. Für alle anderen wird es eine schöne Bestätigung sein. Wir sprechen mit Prof. Dr. Ludwig Huber über die verschiedenen Säulen der Intelligenz von Tieren. Dem Werkzeuggebrauch, dem Verständnis von Kausalität, der Fähigkeit gedanklich in die Zukunft und in die Vergangenheit zu reisen und darauf aufbauen planvoll zu handeln, die Eigenschaft das eigene Denken und Wissen zu reflektieren und zu hinterfragen, und nicht zuletzt die Fähigkeit sich in andere Lebewesen hineinzuversetzen und daraus Schlüsse zu ziehen. Kurzum, Ein facettenreiches Gespräch über die gesammelten Erkenntnisse im Buch "Das rationale Tier"
Andreas und Werner sprechen heute zusammen über das Thema „Theory of Mind“. Unter Theory of Mind wird die Fähigkeit verstanden, mentale Zustände als mögliche Ursache eines Verhaltens zu verstehen, um Handlungen erklären und vorhersagen zu können. Dazu ist es notwendig, Gedanken, Gefühle, Absichten, Meinungen, Erwartungen, Beweggründe und Rahmenbedingungen des Verhaltens korrekt zu erkennen und zu verstehen. Dabei muss es nicht nur um Gedanken und Gefühle anderer Menschen gehen: Es geht auch um das Verständnis eigener Gedanken und Gefühle und die Auswirkungen auf das entsprechende Verhalten… Theory of Mind ist ein bedeutendes Konzept im Bereich der Psychologie und der Psychiatrie und spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei vielen Psychotherapieverfahren.

On this episode, Kathy discusses how she got involved in working with children with autism, what “theory of mind is” and what makes it so important, the concept of joint attention, how role-playing plays a role in language development, the interplay of emotions and perception, exercises to help children with autism develop better social skills and more. We were extremely lucky to have Kathy on the podcast, she is so good at what she does and such a knowledgeable source on communication and working with children with autism. Without further ado, please enjoy this deep-diving, wide-ranging conversation with Kathy Obrien.

Join Dan Holmes (husband of Dr. Stephanie Holmes) and Just the Guys with a group of men on the spectrum and they talk about theory of mind. Just the Guys get together and talk about topics from the spectrum point of view.
Xi Jia chats with Dr. Michal Kosinski, an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. Michal's research interests recently encompass both human and artificial cognition. Currently, his work centers on examining the psychological processes in Large Language Models (LLMs), and leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Big Data, and computational techniques to model and predict human behavior. In this episode, they chat about Michal's recent works: "Theory of Mind Might Have Spontaneously Emerged in Large Language Models" and "Human-like intuitive behavior and reasoning biases emerged in large language models but disappeared in ChatGPT". Michal also shared his scientific journey and some personal suggestions for PhD students.If you found this episode interesting at all, subscribe on our Substack and consider leaving us a good rating!

Photo: Keith Stein Anita Rogers Gallery is pleased to present Superunknown, an exhibition of new work by Henry Mandell. Superunknown, Mandell's debut solo exhibition at Anita Rogers Gallery, features paintings and drawings from several bodies of work the artist began during the pandemic. Mandell's studio practice is focused on the exploration of experimental artistic practices, the human condition, scientific principles and their merging effect on our lives, pioneering unique approaches to creating abstract artworks. All of the paintings in Superunknown began as stories, poems, or written data. Using digital tools, Mandell transforms line by line, letter by letter, the characters of selected source text into visually compelling abstract imagery. The first step in transforming what is known into the unknown, experimenting and painting without the use of iterative code. All creative decisions remain with the artist's hand and mind, establishing Mandell's wide visual vocabulary with digital painting. The Superunknown series of paintings depict multilayered objects composed of fine colored lines of transformed text about dark matter and current theories about what comprises the fabric of the universe. Each colored line is a separate letter. Like fabric, the overall form is knit up from thousands of separate fine colored line elements like a tapestry from another dimension. The source theories bound up into the artwork represent the limits of our knowing, as 80% of everything everywhere is invisible dark matter / dark energy and is beyond our understanding. The Satoshi's Garden paintings depict looping vortexes of chimerical limbs and primeval roots; strange forms that seem to overrun the thresholds of cognition and formation. A growing living network inspired by mycelium. The paintings are composed from the text of the Bitcoin White Paper. No one knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is. He, She, It or They authored the Bitcoin White Paper. The paper solved the problems of establishing an internet-based platform for conducting financial transactions without banks via a ‘blockchain' of growing code that lives on thousands of networked computers worldwide mimicking the Wood Wide Web of living plants. Within the Wood Wide Web, actual living root systems are connected by mycelium fungi. They are completely mysterious, and how they work to nourish every living plant in the wild is beyond our understanding. The Plumb paintings shimmer with thousands of thin vertical lines converging into a veil of color. A plumb line is traditionally used to level and center one's self on the surface of the Earth. It is an ancient tool still in use today, with a hanging weight at the end of a single string that always points to the center of the Earth due to gravity. In the paintings, the lines are the transformed text of poetry by Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. The Theory Of Mind paintings form expressively sinuous interwoven patterns of colored lines within an inverted triangle. Composed from altered text about theory of mind, an important social-cognitive milestone that involves the ability to think about mental states, both your own and those of others and their emotions, desires, beliefs, and knowledge. Foundational to the development of empathy in children. Also, triangles seem to suggest ‘otherness', as in it is an unfamiliar form in everyday experience and can serve as an invitation to relate to an ‘other'. The theme for Superunknown is described by the artist in this way: “I am inspired by the words of the great artist Ann Hamilton in her essay Making Not Knowing: One doesn't arrive — in words or in art — by necessarily knowing where one is going. In every work of art something appears that does not previously exist, and so, by default, you work from what you know to what you don't know. You may set out for New York but you may find yourself as I did in Ohio. You may set out to make a sculpture and find that time...
Nieves Montes, a Ph.D. student at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute in Barcelona, Spain, joins us. Her PhD research revolves around value-based reasoning in relation to norms. She shares her latest study, Combining theory of mind and abductive reasoning in agent‑oriented programming.
This episode examines the idea of Theory of Mind and whether it applies to autistics and non-autistics alike. Listen and decide for yourself whether Theory of Mind is real and if it can ever be accurate.__________*I really do have a red Swingline stapler.__________SPOILER ALERT (THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE):How it ends: Not all of the facts are discussed in this episode and the movie has more than one story line. As to Milton, he finally gets fed up and angry that his boss and co-workers fail to take him seriously. Having been denied his red stapler and stepped on too often Milton burns down the building where he worked resulting in the demise of the company. The movie “Office Space” has become a cult classic well worth watching.__________Empirical Failures of the Claim That Autistic People Lack a Theory of Mind https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6959478/Support the show Share this podcast with your friends and family.

An assistant professor of Psychology at Harvard University, Tomer Ullman, joins us. Tomer discussed the theory of mind and whether machines can indeed pass it. Using variations of the Sally-Anne test and the Smarties tube test, he explained how LLMs could fail the theory of mind test.
Theory of mind, the ability to understand others by ascribing mental states to them, has historically been considered a uniquely human characteristic. But are we really the only animals to possess this level of social intelligence? In this episode of OxPods, Alex Rodway, a biology master's student at Jesus College, interviews Dr Natasha Gillies, a Stipendiary Lecturer at Merton College, who has studied animal behaviour and population ecology throughout her academic career, about the existence of ‘theory of mind' in non-human animals.

Burt Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience in the Center for Science and Society, and a Lecturer in the Philosophy Department at Columbia University. His research draws from his expertise in philosophy and cognitive science to explore the implications of recent progress in deep learning for models of human cognition, as well as various issues in ethics and aesthetics. He is also investigating what underlies the capacity to represent oneself as oneself at a fundamental level, in humans and non-human animals; as well as the role that self-representation plays in perception, action, and memory. In a world where technology is rapidly advancing, Dr. Millière is striving to gain a better understanding of how artificial neural networks work, and to establish fair and meaningful comparisons between humans and machines in various domains in order to shed light on the implications of artificial intelligence for our lives. https://www.raphaelmilliere.com/ https://twitter.com/raphaelmilliere Here is a version with hesitation sounds like "um" removed if you prefer (I didn't notice them personally): https://share.descript.com/view/aGelyTl2xpN YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhn6ZtD6XeE TOC: Intro to Raphael [00:00:00] Intro: Moving Beyond Mimicry in Artificial Intelligence (Raphael Millière) [00:01:18] Show Kick off [00:07:10] LLMs [00:08:37] Semantic Competence/Understanding [00:18:28] Forming Analogies/JPG Compression Article [00:30:17] Compositional Generalisation [00:37:28] Systematicity [00:47:08] Language of Thought [00:51:28] Bigbench (Conceptual Combinations) [00:57:37] Symbol Grounding [01:11:13] World Models [01:26:43] Theory of Mind [01:30:57] Refs (this is truncated, full list on YT video description): Moving Beyond Mimicry in Artificial Intelligence (Raphael Millière) https://nautil.us/moving-beyond-mimicry-in-artificial-intelligence-238504/ On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big?
Joshed Raw (Josh) defines theory of mind and shares the research about its origins and its purpose in human evolution. He discusses its primary purposes and how it led to religious thought, which subsequently led to multitudes of religions and deities around the world. He also discusses how theory of mind is different among men and women in different regions of the brain. Josh ends the episode by explaining how indoctrination works on children and encourages listeners to educate others about how religious institutions exploit others by manipulating them with brain science. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/godsoftomorrow/support

Dr. Krupenye is interested in the cognitive abilities of humans and other species, especially those involved in navigating the social world. In this episode, we talk about aspects of primate sociality. We start with theory of mind, and discuss if it is a unitary capacity, and how to study it in nonhuman primates. We ask if other primates have theory of mind, and talk about studying self and self-awareness. We also get into understanding false beliefs, sharing behavior, prosociality, and a preference for helpers or hinderers. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

We don't always know what people are thinking or feeling - we're not mind-readers - but we can bolster our understanding. Today we're diving into the Theory of Mind, which refers to our capacity to understand others. It is important for understanding how to approach our children's developmental stage. We start with a wonderful grounding meditation.

In today's episode, Dr. Mark Sabbagh joins us to discuss the Theory of Mind. He breaks down the Theory of Mind for parents and how we can see it develop within younger children. Dr. Sabbagh explains false beliefs and how our children's minds develop an understanding of others' beliefs and feelings. We also discuss dopamine levels, executive functioning, and neurodiversity. Dr. Sabbagh reviews some practical games including pretend play to understand and develop your child's own Theory of Mind.Take your Curious Neuron notebooks out, this episode is filled with fresh information for many of our listeners.Follow Curious Neuron on Instagram @curious_neuronJoin Dr. Sabbagh's studies:https://www.earlyexperiencelab.caThank you to the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute at The Neuro for supporting the Curious Neuron podcast.
"Theory of mind" is a clunky term from psychology that basically means that we unconsciously (and inevitably) project the content and structure of our own consciousness into the minds of others. This is because assuming others are like us facilitates cooperation is essential to the survival of a social organism like man. However, this also means that whether we're surrounded by enemies or potential allies is largely a function of our own mind. I'll discuss more in this episode.
