Please note...Following up to the previous comment. Please note... I understand that (aside from the meditation condition) there is no task or action specificity in the the papers I shared. However, I'm wondering if we might not apply the model in task specific research. <br /><br />For example, during flow states, dance, or music making, might we observe similar levels of entropy, potentially indicating a transition of consciousness towards a more "unitive" state?<br /><br />Might we capitalize on this model to ask different questions about the organism-environment? How might shifts in whole brain dynamics be affected by the environment, thereby influencing behavior?<br /><br />P.S. I'm truly a noob, and know I don't have a firm grasp on the ecological position.

I just found this blog this evening, ...Hi, Andrew.<br /><br />I just found this blog this evening, and can't wait to fully sink my teeth into it all! <br /><br />I'm wondering if you've seen any of the work coming from Selèn Atasoy. She has been using cymatics and harmonic analysis of the whole brain to predict consciousness, etc. To my mind, this seems as though it pairs nicely with Gibson's (1966) comparison of the brain to a "resonator" or "radio." She seems to be taking great care to develop a theory which is both governed by natural laws and generalizable.<br /><br />There are several useful papers, but the following are a good start:<br /><br />https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms10340<br />https://www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2020/08/10/2020.08.10.244459.full.pdf<br /><br />I'm just starting to look into this as a student in the program at UConn (also interested in developing an ecological neuroscience and **maybe** bringing qualia {GASP!!} into the discussion), and would love to here your thoughts... if you find it at all interesting, that is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629905653951044678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192597712746432631.post-55043617973180523762021-05-21T01:06:09.788+01:002021-05-21T01:06:09.788+01:00Wow, three articles in a row!
