Neurocareers: Doing the Impossible!

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.   About the Podcast Guest Dr. Jeff Tarrant is a licensed psychologist and board certified in neurofeedback.

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.

Innovation? Technology? Illusions? Meet and greet Jeanette Andrews - an informal cognitive scientist and one of the most innovative illusionists in the world today! 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! Tune into the Episode #17. Part 1. conversation with Jeanette Andrews to hear about her career path and advice on how to succeed in your chosen career. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this Neurocareers podcast episode! During this episode, you will learn about the following: [00:00] Episode intro and what’s in for you in today’s episode.

[13:36] What triggered Jeanette's interest in magic and the things that fascinate her in that space? [16:04] The type of magic that Jeanette was interested in when developing her skills. [20:01] Why Jeanette got into symbol magic and why it was highly recommended for her at the time. [24:45] Jeanette's perspective on learning magic from books and mentors and not from the internet. [27:26] When Jeanette realized that there is so much psychology and cognitive science involved in her career and how she started learning more about it. [35:45] The options available for people to learn and get in the interception between science and magic. [41:33]  Ending the show and call to action. Tune In For Part 2! Notable Quotes You can put together a career and a life that works for you and makes you happy, and it doesn’t have to fall into a tightly defined space. You have to want something enough to work for it and reinvest in your education in it. When you have something you’re passionate about learning, your passion and curiosity can open doors for a career field. Always learn the foundational techniques and build from them. You can learn a lot of magic from the internet, but most good magic is still genuinely in books and mentors. About the Podcast Guest Jeanette Andrews is an artist, magician, and researcher.

People who study wonder often talk about the experience of it, starting with the mismatch between their expectations about the world and what their senses bring to them. The consequence of experiencing wonder is exploration, curiosity, and trying to seek out explanations for what you witnessed. The value of the Science of Magic is that it allows us to mine psychological insights from a group of people who have been neglected by science for most of their existence. Magicians are informal cognitive scientists who should have a hypothesis of how the mind works to develop techniques to deceive those minds. Magicians are usually 10 years ahead of the public regarding emerging technologies. A magician's goal is to make all the technology entirely invisible.

What alternatives are to medication for treating ADD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and brain trauma? How can we teach the brain to regulate itself and achieve the optimal state for learning, everyday functioning, and peak performance? How can modern technology aid in the prevention of Alzheimer's dementia? Tune in to find the answers to these questions and much more in the 11th Neurocareers podcast episode with Thomas Feiner - the Neurofeedback specialist and the Founder of the Institute of EEG-Neurofeedback in Munich, Germany. During this episode, you will learn about the following: [00:00] Episode intro and what's in for you in today's episode [01:21] Meet Thomas Feiner, BCIA, BCN, QEEG-D from the Institute of EEG-Neurofeedback in Munich, Germany [02:52] Neurofeedback, what it is, how you can use it, and for what purposes [11:33] Rewarding the brain and providing the environment to help it learn optimally [13:04] How quickly the brain can find the optimal state and examples of what has worked for Thomas's clients [15:51] What has changed in Neurofeedback since Thomas started and what he's seen now [19:28] Top three conditions and evidence-based information on what Neurofeedback provides [20:48] Career opportunities in Neurofeedback and how you can get into the field [23:25] The background that you need to get into Neurofeedback [26:09] The uniqueness of the programs that Thomas offers in Neurofeedback  [30:24] Thomas's mission and work in educating children about Neurofeedback [34:34] What Thomas discovered in meditation and mindfulness and what they do in Neurofeedback [40:10] Thomas's vision and plans in the next 10 to 30 years in the neurofeedback space [45:03] Thomas's advice to people who want to pursue a career that is not in their locality or in Neurofeedback [49:25] How to reach out and connect with Thomas Notable Quotes The brain is a learning organ, and it's designed to learn; it's a huge learning machine with great potential, and you can learn every day in your life till death. Profound changes appear by just rewarding, enhancing, and evolving tiny changes in the brain through Neurofeedback. In Neurofeedback, we only reward the brain for doing something good and better than before; there is no punishment. You've to be patient and open-minded; Neurofeedback works differently for everybody. Neurofeedback is a career that opens many doors, and you can add it as an effective add-on without forgetting what you have done already. Children's brains are always waiting for input, and we cannot feed it with just knowledge; we need to also feed the brains with empathy, excitement, and what the brain can do. When you teach clients to change their quality of life, you make the world a better place.
