Mind: Interpersonal connection.

Subjective experience is real and is the gateway foi interpersonal connection, for integration with another person. This is why, I'll will suggest to you, empathy within a relationship promotes improved immune function and a deep sense of well-being. When your subjective experience is seen and respected, and you receive communication of that attunement, then you and the other person become connected as two different individuals becoming linked. This interpersonal integration rises each individual's state of integration, which feel good and is good for you. You achieve, in compexity science terms, a higher state of integration than either person alone could achieve. This is the notion of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. That's why subjectivity is so profoundly important. Attending to one anotyher's subjective lives increases integration and therefore increases harmony and health.

Why is my awareness here, while yours is over there? Why is the universe split in two for each of us, into a subject and an infinity of objects? How is each of us our own center of experience, receiving information about the rest of the world out there? Why are some things conscious and others apparently not? Is a rat conscious? A gnat? A bacterium?
These questions are all aspects of the ancient mind-body problem which asks, essentially: What is the relationship between mind and matter? It’s resisted a generally satisfying conclusion for thousands of years.
The mind-body problem enjoyed a major rebranding over the last two decades. Now it’s generally known as the hard problem of consciousness, after philosopher David Chalmers coined this term in a now classic paper and further explored it in his 1996 book The Conscious Mind: In Search of a Fundamental Theory./.../

New insights on insight in the brain

Neuroscientist John Kounios studies insight using brain scanning and anagrams

Brain scans showed a burst of high frequency oscillations when puzzles were solved with insight.

Insight is that "a-ha!" moment when we get a joke, recognize a hidden image in Where's Waldo, or solve a problem. The Greek mathematician and scientist Archimedes is said to have jumped from his bath and run through the streets naked shouting "Eureka!" after his insight into how to measure the volume of objects by submerging them in water. Understanding insight is important because it has led to some of humanity's most important scientific advances./.../

Can Microbes Manipulate Our Minds?

One theory gaining momentum is that members of the gut microbiome actively manipulate our behaviour for their own benefit. NeuroscienceNews.com image is adapted from the University of Oxford news release.

NEUROSCIENCE NEWSAPRIL 28, 2018
Summary: Researchers report we may have evolved to depend on our gut bacteria to aid normal brain function, and changes in our microbiome could have effects on our behavior.

Source: University of Oxford.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have proposed an evolutionary framework to understand why microbes living in the gut affect the brain and behaviour, published in Nature Reviews Microbiology.

Katerina Johnson (Department of Experimental Psychology) and Kevin Foster (Department of Zoology) assessed data from studies on the gut-brain axis to suggest how ‘that gut feeling’ evolved./.../

Brain Imaging Helps Redefine Intelligence by Neuroscience News

Neuroimaging technology has allowed researchers to measure brain entropy. Researchers report greater entropy is linked to more versatile information processing.

Whole brain regression analysis was performed with AFNI to determine whether brain entropy predicts full scale IQ as estimated from the Shipley Institutes of Living Scale, Vocabulary Task (uncorrected p = 0.005, cluster size = 157 voxels, corrected p = 0.001). Positive beta coefficients show where increases in resting-state brain entropy predict increases in IQ NeuroscienceNews.com image is credited to Saxe et al./PLOS ONE.

People with average intelligence have an IQ score of about 100, Saxe says, with current study participants having an above-average IQ, at 108.

According to Saxe, study participants’ entropy scores were strongly tied to IQ. Using standard statistical techniques that were performed two different ways to ensure accuracy, the researchers found that higher entropy was significantly related to the brain regions where previous research has shown it matters most. Entropy scores closely matched IQ scores from the Shipley-Hartford test for the left side of the middle brain (the left inferior temporal lobe), which is tied to learning speech. Similarly, entropy scores tracked closely with those from the Wechsler test for the front region of the brain (bilateral anterior frontal lobes), a known center for organization, planning, and emotional control.

>>> III - 1 How Does the Mind Work in Ease and Dis-Ease?

(64) In this entry we’ll further explore how the mind works by building on the notion that mind emerges from energy and information flow, within and between us. We’ll dive deeply into the implications of our working definition of one aspect of the multi-faceted mind as being and embodied and relational, emergent self-organizing process that regulates energy and information flow. Could regulation go well and create well-being, and not go so well and create dysregulation? We will examine ideas about healthy minds and how we may cultivate them by asking the natural question, how is self-organization optimized to create health?/.../
