Neurocareers: Doing the Impossible!

What would the alien language look like? What science fiction movies can tell us about the limits of our perception? What will happen to human language with the development of neurotechnologies? Tune into our conversation with Marco Mazzanti - a linguist with a special interest in psycholinguistics! In Part 1 of this podcast episode, Marco will discuss the interrelation between language and the brain. He will immerse you in the discussion about the limits of our perception of the world around us by looking at examples of sci-fi movies. Marco will also talk about the future of language when humans and computers merge. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this podcast episode with Marco Mazzanti, where he will share his perspective on what you can do to succeed in learning foreign languages and much more! During this episode, you will learn the following: [00:00] Episode intro and what's in for you in today's episode [01:06] Meet Marco Mazzanti, a Lingus interested in psycholinguistics who speaks multiple languages, teaches languages, and addresses linguistic aspects of Sci-Fi movies. [02:59] Macro remembers his attempts to create his language as a child and discusses what necessitates creating a new language in people. [05:59] The most challenging thing for Marco when studying languages and psycholinguistics. [08:53] Why are some people better than others at learning languages? [21:31] What can we expect in language development in the future with the changes in human knowledge and machines? [24:28] The future where we can comprehend what happens inside our brain among our neuro cells during pronunciation as the faculty of languages changes with technology. [29:29] Writing and drawing with a pencil Vs. writing with a keyboard, and how they impact the neuro cells of the brain. [31:54] What inspired Marco's interest in many Sci-Fi movies, and how he addresses them from a psycholinguistic perspective? [42:07] Marco's article and how we can tap into different types of languages and faculties of language. [47:16] Ending the show and call to action. Tune In For Part 2! About the Podcast Guest You can connect with Marco Mazzanti and learn more about what he does through LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marco-mazzanti-linguistique/ Notable Quotes Linguistics is deeply connected to psychology and biology, and language has changed over time. Language is strictly related to our perception of ourselves and the differences in the individual representation of what a language is, must be, or ought to be. Everything starts from our brain; everything in our brain is very important and interconnected. We're our brains. Writing with our hands is useful for developing neural cells and allowing us to use our brain. Technology ought to be a friend of mankind, and the impact of technology should be positive, not invasive. It should help us understand what happens in our brain. Our ability to write and draw with a pencil should remain an activity daily; it's very important for our neuro cells development. Languages can be written, signed, or spoken; as humans, we have a limited view of what language should be.

Research shows that about 40% of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) are misdiagnosed: often thought of as unconscious, many are, in fact, either conscious or minimally conscious. Such misdiagnosis severely impairs the treatment and recovery of patients with DOC. However, the field of DOC is rapidly developing. One of the major game-changers for it is neurotechnology. Meet and greet Dr. Caroline Schnakers - Assistant Director of Research at Casa Colina Hospital in Pomona, California, USA. Dr. Schakers is a world-renown expert in DOC. She redefines this field to offer help and provide hope to patients with DOC and their families. Dr. Schnakers's goal is to support physicians and other clinical personnel involved in the care of patients with DOC so that they can offer their patients the best possible diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. In this episode of the Neurocareers podcast, Dr. Schnakers illustrates the DOC spectrum with an example from her practice with DOC patients. Dr. Schnakers also discusses the main misconceptions about the DOC, such as "Sleeping beauty," "There is only coma," and others. She provides insights about using neurotechnology to advance the field of DOC. Last but not least, Dr. Schnakers shares important career advice that can be very helpful to those at the crossroads of choosing their scientific career. Stay tuned! During this episode, you will learn the following: [00:00] Episode intro and what's in for you in today's episode. [01:42] Meet Caroline Schnakers, Ph.D. from Casa Colina Hospital, Pomona, California, USA. [02:50] The type of work Dr. Schnakers is doing and her shift from diagnosis to treating the disorder of consciousness. [06:04] What are disorders of consciousness and the clinical difference between a vegetative and conscious state? [13:38] What inspired Dr. Schnakers into the disorders of consciousness space, and what has helped her to work there for so many years? [16:24] The most common misconception around disorders of consciousness. [20:16] Misdiagnosis of the unconscious state and why it isn't easy to detect signs of consciousness. [23:02] What helped Dr. Schnakers to be such a good specialist in disorders of consciousness [26:28] The change that is happening in the field of disorders of consciousness and the involvement of neurotechnology in the process [34:16] What do we know now about patients with disorders of consciousness that we didn't know ten years ago? [16:55] The challenges that are becoming more prominent as the field of disorders of consciousness evolves. [43:34] The common knowledge and technology gap between experts and clinicians in Europe, the States, and other parts of the world. [45:18] What was challenging for Dr. Schnakers when doing research and looking for new information in the field? [48:10] Dr. Schnaker's most unexpected findings throughout her research career of studying patients with disorders of consciousness. [52:03] Where Dr. Schnakers sees neurotechnology in the next ten years and how it will help clinicians with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of consciousness. [54:37] Dr. Schnaker's plans for her research and the work she is doing. [56:41] Dr. Schnaker recommends how to get into the path of helping people with disorders of consciousness and neurotechnology. [59:38] Dr. Schnaker's advice on achieving the impossible in neuroscience and disorders of consciousness fields. [01:01:53] How to reach out and learn more about Dr. Schnakers. Notable Quotes It's difficult to detect signs of consciousness; sometimes, it can misdiagnose the unconscious state. Peer and peer learning and mentorship learning are important in developing your expertise. If a technology applies to severe brain injury, it will also apply to moderate brain injury and all types of brain injury. It's possible to have a patient that is conscious to some point and not have any signs of consciousness at the bedside. We're in an evidence-based era, and based on the evidence, you can make the treatment work. Suppose companies are interested in evidence-based, then in the future. In that case, we will be able to have good products for clinicians, and patients will be treated better and earlier when we can do more for their recovery. It's not always easy but always think out of the box.

"Learning becomes transformational when you understand how your brain processes the information," says Dr. Mariette Fourie (DEd), one of our podcast guests today. So, what are the best practices that help you learn? Should you take notes on the computer or by hand? You will find it out from our other podcast guest, Dr. Michelle Miller, discussing the misconception about note-taking. You will also discover what it means to be uncomfortable learning new information and the value of a productive struggle from Dr. Kristen Betts. This and much more you will find in Part 2 of the Neurocareers podcast about the field of Neuroeducation from the top professionals in the field! Stay tuned! During this episode, you will learn the following: [00:00] Episode intro, and what's in for you in today's episode [01:39] The main challenges associated with the development in the field of neuroeducation, working examples, and how they are being solved at the moment [12:26] The field of neuroeducation and the impact it's making in the next ten years and what will become possible that is not possible today [19:02] Recommendations on how people from various fields can contribute to the field of neuroeducation and the possibilities of getting certifications. [25:06] Evidence-based practices that can help improve your learning outcome from the neural science perspective [30:32] Ending the show and what to expect in the series Notable Quotes Educators must look at how they assign work and make feedback valuable to enhance learning. You can only change what you are aware of; what you go in and change makes you much more aware of where to refine and expand your work. Refining makes learning more enjoyable than rewriting or revising. Academic misconduct arises from students not knowing how to read and write in the discipline. Leaning becomes transformational when you understand how your brain processes information. As a student, the more you practice, the easier it's for you to transfer what you are learning. Productive struggle is critical; the brain loves to predict. If you're working hard all day, you need to sleep because that is when your brain is active in terms of memory. It's not about just studying and practicing; sleep and well-being play a critical role. About the Podcast Guests: Find more about our guests and connect with them!

Neuroscience influences many areas of our life and informs us of the best strategies to utilize the power of our brains. This is particularly true for the field of education, where the knowledge about our nervous system transforms existing teaching practices and helps develop evidence-based approaches to successful learning. Meet and greet three outstanding specialists in Neuroeducation - the field born on the intersection between neuroscience, psychology, and education: Kristen Betts, EdD, Mariette Fourie, DEd, and Michelle Miller, PhD! In this Part 1 of the podcast dedicated to Neuroeducation, you will learn what Neuroeducation is about. You will also get familiar with the programs that help teachers and instructional designers support their work with neuroscience-informed, evidence-based practices. You will also hear three amazing stories about careers that all began in different fields but came together to spread knowledge about how our brain supports learning. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this attention-grabbing podcast to hear examples of the most current misconceptions about learning and the brain, the biggest challenges in the field of Neuroeducation, and its future perspectives! During this episode, you will learn the following: [00:00] Episode intro and what's in for you in today's episode. [01:23] Meet and greet our today's guests and learn a bit about their workplace. [04:26] What is neuroeducation and its origins? [06:18] Dr. Fourie's backstory and journey to neuroeducation. [10:13] Dr. Miller's inspiration in neuroeducation and her area of expertise. [14:10] Dr. Betts' story of getting into neuroeducation. [21:04] Early challenges in neuroeducation and current advancements in bridging the gap between neuroscience and the science of learning. [32:41] Common misconceptions in neuroeducation. [37:26] How educational institutions are applying neuroscience in teaching and learning. [42:00] Examples of scenarios where neuroeducation practices have helped students learn better. [49:57] Ending the show and calls to action. Notable Quotes Focused attention is necessary for learning. One of the early challenges of neuroeducation was that there needed to be an evidence-based approach to learning. A teacher does more experiments than a scientist will do in their lifetime A teacher's conceptualization of knowledge greatly affects the learners' epistemological beliefs. Misconception about learning and memory creates a wrong educational approach. You might have the best course, but it means nothing if the students are not interested. You must learn how to involve your mind in a classroom.

Does meditation mean sitting in a lotus (leg crossed) position with your eye closed and thinking of "nothing"? That seems daunting for somebody taking the first steps toward practicing mindfulness! What if there were much simpler and more effective ways for you to get on a path of self-regulating your mind? Meet a greet Dr. Jeff Tarrant - a clinical psychologist, neurofeedback specialist, experienced meditation practitioner, and founder of the NeuroMeditation Institute! Dr. Tarrant has been successfully teaching people how to meditate for many years! He will share with you how to start meditating and do it in a way that makes sense to you! Also, you will learn how neurotechnology can help improve your meditation skills! Last but not least, you will learn about the future of neurotechnologies and the most unexpected things about the human mind Dr. Tarrant discovered over the years of his meditative practice and neurofeedback! During this episode, you will learn the following: [00:00] Episode intro and what's in for you in today's episode. [01:59] Different conditions and types of meditation that Jeff recommends for people to work with. [11:08] The value of Neurofeedback in learning how to meditate and overcoming the difficulties on the way. [17:23] How technology development is helping the development of Neurofeedback and NeuroMeditation fields. [22:36] How Jeff sees the future of NeuroMeditation with the development of technology in the next 10, 30, and 50 years. [27:17] Jeff's future plan for NeuroMeditation and the work he is doing now. [31:18] Where Jeff gets the spirit of innovation from, how he develops it, and finds his beginnings. [33:22] The most challenging part of Jeff's career; how he overcame this challenge, and the lessons he learned from the process that now helps him. [36:21] Jeff's recommendation to people who want to follow his footstep and help people with meditation and mindfulness practices. [38:21] The most unexpected thing that Jeff learned about the human brain in the course of his work in meditation, Neurofeedback, and NeuroMeditation. [44:09] How to do the impossible and Jeff's advice to those doing things that are not recognized but want to continue. [47:20] How Jeff sees a world where people are meditating and doing it as a normal daily practice 10 to 20 years from now. [48:48] Ending the show. Notable Quotes The meditation style that is the hardest for you is probably the one that you need the most; if the meditation style is easy, your brain knows how to do it, and you're not developing anything. If you want to grow your brain and develop certain skills, you have to do something difficult that you're not good at. Mindfulness is good for anxiety and stress because you're learning to step out of the situation and look at it more objectively and not become attached to it. Everybody knows that meditation is good for them, but the percentage of people who stick with it is very small. Our brain waves influence each other whether we know it or not; we can influence the people around us for good or bad.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "meditation"? Is it relaxation or rather an introspection and contemplation? Or maybe it is focus and concentration, spiritual practice, or anything else we just heard someone says is "good for you"? It turns out that the term "meditation" might be simply an umbrella encompassing various techniques to self-regulate our mind and nervous system. Moreover, different types of meditation affect the processes within the brain in different ways. This means that the approach "One size fits all!" is not applicable when selecting a meditative practice. In fact, you want to choose a specific meditation type that suits your individual goals, needs, and demands of your nervous system. So, what meditation is right for you? Meet and greet Dr. Jeff Tarrant - a clinical psychologist, neurofeedback specialist, experienced meditation practitioner, and founder of the NeuroMeditation Institute! Dr. Tarrant will help you clarify what meditation is, explain how it affects your brain, and guide you in choosing the meditation that supports you! Also, you will learn some simple steps to get into the field of meditation and learn how to self-regulate! Last but not least, you will find out how your passion and interest in life can drive your career toward success in neuroscience and neurotechnologies! Stay tuned for the second part of the show with Dr. Tarrant! During this episode, you will learn about the following: [00:00] Episode intro and what's in for you in today's episode [01:40] Meet Jeff Tarrant, Ph.D., BCN from the NeuroMeditation Institute, Eugene, Oregon, USA [04:46] How Jeff became aware of the need for him to contribute to helping other people and to do the things he is doing right now [09:06] What ignited Jeff's interest in meditation, and how he got into the meditation space [12:29] How Jeff brought Neurofeedback and meditation together and built the concept of NeuroMeditation. [16:55] Different types of meditation and the brain changes that are associated with them [28:13] Jeff's recommendation on how to start practicing meditation in simple, engaging, and effective ways [36:35] Ending the show and call to action. Tune In For Part 2! Notable Quotes Neurofeedback was created for meditation to allow us to get to a deeper state of consciousness. There are many ways to meditate, and different ways of meditation influence your brain differently. Attention and intention are the keys to different types of meditation; when you change how you are directing your attention and intention, it changes how the brain is engaged. Meditation (focus) and meditation (open monitoring) tend to go together, but they are different. The most common theme that goes through most types of meditation and mindfulness is that you're not supposed to be thinking about yourself. Meditation is about your state of consciousness, not about how you're sitting or what you're doing, and because we're all different, the way someone meditates may not fit for you. Instead of trusting what somebody else says and thinking that the answer, listen to yourself, try different things, and see how it feels. If it helps you get into the right state of consciousness, keep it; if it doesn't, throw it out. We all start from somewhere; pick something, try it, reflect on it, keep your expectations low, and develop it over time. Consistency is more important than trying to squeeze in more time.

Every human has an innate desire to try to do the impossible. Whether it's a desire to have superpowers, superhuman feet, move to an advanced degree, relocate to a new country by themselves, or do things that seem unachievable. Magic has an interesting lens on that! It aims to create simulated versions of what looks impossible. It provides a tool to make something impossible look real. In this episode, we continue our conversation with Jennette Andrews, one of the most innovative illusionists in the world! Jeanette is discussing the field of Informal Cognitive Science and the relationship between machine learning, magic, and surprise. Find out how Jeanette used the art of magic to explore the questions posed by Alan Turing of whether machines can exhibit intelligent behavior that cannot be distinguished from that of a human! During this episode, you will learn about the following: [00:28] The most unexpected thing that Jeanette discovered about human sensation and perception. [05:32] How Jeanette was introduced to the technology and how it developed into her newest exhibition, the use of AI. [18:49] The surprising things that Jeanette learned from the reactions of the people who came to her magic show. [20:12] Jeanette plans to perform and show her magic performances to people in different places. [22:26] The process of generating ideas, where Jeanette gets her creative juices and what it takes to move from idea to fruition. [27:26] Trusting your intuition and how it turns to instinct through trial and error. [29:32] Doing the impossible and how to use magic as a tool to create simulated versions of the impossible. [32:22] How to reach out, connect and learn more about Jeanette. Notable Quotes To move from idea to fruition, you must start doing the thing and see what happens. Magic deals with certainty; it deals with what we process as factual information or not and how those things change. Trust your intuition, keep stuff coming in and maintain your freshness all the time. Every human has an innate desire to try to do the impossible. About the Podcast Guest Jeanette Andrews is an artist, magician, and researcher. Andrews' work focuses on developing interactive magic and sensory illusions via performance, sculpture, installation, and audio. Jeanette is currently an Affiliate of metaLab (at) Harvard and an artist in residence at CultureLAB LIC in New York City. Illusion is Andrews' life's work, and her performances have been praised by the Chicago Tribune, PBS, and the New York Times. Over 27 years of specialized study and technical training in parlor and sleight of hand magic has now afforded her a distinct perspective on crafting experiences with nuanced psychological underpinnings, the direction of attention and inattention, creating surreal visuals, and designing/building objects that function completely differently than they appear. Jeanette's research-based process centers around phenomenological philosophy, contemporary cognitive science, and physics. Andrews works closely with museums and galleries to recontextualize magic within the cultural arts and explore this craft as a performance art medium. She has presented numerous commissioned works with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, including her 2020 work "Invisible Museums of the Unseen," which was later commissioned as a site-specific work for the Quebec City Biennial. Further site-specific works for numerous museums and galleries include the Elmhurst Art Museum, Birmingham Museum of Art, and International Museum of Surgical Science.

Jeanette is using modern technologies, including AIs and cognitive science principles, in her Magic shows! We are all interested in making the impossible possible and figuring out how to make things happen. As humans, we're extraordinarily great in many ways, and we have a deep-seated, wildly complex understanding of what objects are like and how they sound. We know it even when we're unconscious of it. Magic is all about taking into account an infinite number of things we're constantly sensing, remembering, and sometimes pseudo-remembering to create a working experience, space, or process. Knowing what they are, using some of them, and finding perspective gaps we are aware of. In this episode, Jennette shares the art of magic and the interception between science and magic!

Andrews' work focuses on developing interactive magic and sensory illusions via performance, sculpture, installation, and audio. She is currently an Affiliate of metaLab (at) Harvard and an artist in residence at CultureLAB LIC in New York City. Illusion is Andrews' life's work, and her performances have been praised by the Chicago Tribune, PBS, and the New York Times. Andrews is also an acclaimed speaker, presenting with Cooper Hewitt, Chicago Ideas, Fortune 500 companies, universities, and conferences across the country. She has been an artist in residence for High Concept Labs in Chicago and The Institute for Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles. Her research-based process centers around phenomenological philosophy, contemporary cognitive science, and physics. Her work highlights astonishing aspects of everyday life via moments of the seemingly impossible to create a lived phenomenology. Themes of pieces have included invisibility, impossible objects, the relationship between scent and magic, unseen communication, and how illusions can construct reality. Andrews works closely with museums and galleries to recontextualize magic within the cultural arts and explore this craft as a performance art medium. She has presented numerous commissioned works with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, including her 2020 work "Invisible Museums of the Unseen," which was later commissioned as a site-specific work for the Quebec City Biennial. Further site-specific works for numerous museums and galleries include the Elmhurst Art Museum, Birmingham Museum of Art, and International Museum of Surgical Science.
