Send a love message Buy L&P its first coffeeNeuroscience, Geometric Hyperscanning, and Real Time RelationAndrea welcomes Nicolás to discuss the cutting-edge neuroscience technique of hyperscanning, which records brain activity from two or more individuals simultaneously during social interactions. They dive into how hyperscanning reveals brain synchronization reflecting shared attention, empathy, and effective communication. The conversation highlights the broader applications, from studying parent-child bonding and social disorders to advancing mental health interventions. The discussion also touches on integrating philosophical insights to better understand social interactions, emphasizing the importance of holding scientific paradoxes and envisioning a more holistic approach to studying human connection.Watch Nicolás Hinrich's Active Inference Institute recorded talk hereGeometric Hyperscanning of Affect under Active InferenceOn a Geometry of Interbrain NetworksNico's homepageWatch on YouTubeRead more about this on SubstackThe Art of Asynchrony00:00 Welcome to Love and Philosophy01:03 Introduction to Hyperscanning01:37 Mechanics and Applications of Hyperscanning03:16 Neural Synchrony and Its Implications04:36 Exploring Jung's Synchronicity07:52 Active Inference and Social Synchrony13:50 Practical Considerations and Future Directions38:47 Introduction to Prisma and Hyper Scanning39:28 Extending Prisma Methodology40:55 Philosophy and Neuroscience Integration41:51 Participatory Sense Making and Hyper Scanning43:01 Holding Paradoxes in Research46:51 Geometric Thinking in Hyper Scanning52:26 Temporal Aiming and Synchrony59:30 Neuroprotective Rituals and Mental Health01:07:23 Balancing Science and Art in Research01:16:04 Concluding Thoughts on Hyper Scanning and CareGive in any amount here to support thisFull intro and notes here.Care is not the opposite of love. It is the very urge of life. 'Caring for what?' is the primary question. That we have a choice about what we care for and how is what makes us human, but it's quite the challenge and responsibility. Let's help one another handle it.Support the showBuy Holding Paradox: The Navigational Approach to Mind and Consciousness by Andrea HiottSign up for Making Ways newsletter and projects.Please rate and review with love.
