Hi all,

I signed up, but may not have time to watch every presentation every day, but plan to catch it when I can.

Looks somewhat like the Mindfulness Summit that many of us participated in awhile back.

 

Thanks Ellen, I've just signed up. It looks like a wonderful line up.

 

Bumping this back up, is anyone else joining?

 

Thanks for the tip off, Ellen. I'm all signed up.

 

I will give it a go

Dan Siegel is on right now, it's a live summit, but audio will be available for today, tomorrow. The interview is remarkable, fantastic stuff!

 

Hi Forest,

There's nothing on the SoundsTrue site in the way of a write up of Dan's work.
However, I've compiled links to his videos and publications.

The SoundsTrue link is - http://live.soundstrue.com/neuroscience-summit/?utm_source=bronto&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Access+the+summit+here.&utm_content=The+Neuroscience+Training+Summit+Starts+Today!&utm_campaign=C160510-NSci-ToOptinsToBuyers&_bta_tid=3.RM0.A7lz_A.BF6t.fkhR..AMq03A.b..l.BjbU.n...3bA8uA&_bta_c=hwgdx1dfnqwj0de6zei190xfyn8ru (Neuroscience Summit)

Hi Forest,

Thanks for the link. He also mentioned joy, negative, generousity and focus states as having their own circuitry and referenced the work of Richard Davidson, whom I'm not familiar with. But didn't reference or discuss mirror neurons as he did in the below youtube clip....



I particularly enjoyed the section on emotional differentiation, linkage and integration which can be particularly useful in restoring and cultivating ones own emotional intelligence and health. By practicing all components of meditation (insight, compassion, loving-kindness) and/or the use of therapy.

Overall, the interview was very insightful and some great questions were asked in the second half.

A link to the Human Connectnome Project which was mentioned in the talk.

I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has time.

 

Yep, this is a fantastic. I've missed the beginning so will have to revist when the audio is available.

 

I'm enjoying the Summit so far. The advantage to watching it live is that you get to see the slides, but the audio recordings are good too.

I'm reading Dan Siegel's book Mindsight, and enjoying it very much. It's full of real life examples of using neuroscience with psychotherapy to help people change.

 

Wow! Humans are getting pretty smart--despite what you see in the news.

I like the analogy that one speaker used that humans trying to understand existence and consciousness is like an ant walking across your keyboard trying to understand how a computer works.

 

The presentation on Neurosculpting is excellent. Very practical information on how to change your response to stress.
