The difference between facial expressions of genuine and make believe emotions was first noted by Charles Darwin in e Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, published in 1872. 12 Darwin was aware of observations made a decade earlier by Guillaume-Benjamin Duchenne about the musculature involved in smiling and the type of control needed to move that musculature. Duchenne determined that a smile of real joy required the combined involuntary contraction of two muscles, the zygomatic major and the orbicularis oculi. (See g. 7-4') He discovered further that the latter muscle could be moved only involuntarily; there was no way of activating it willfully. The involuntary activators of the orbicularis oculi, as Duchenne put it, were "the sweet emotions of the sou!." As for the zygomatic major, it can be activated both involuntarily and by our will and is thus the proper avenue for smiles of politeness. Descartes´ Error. Antonio Damasio.

Deep voice, those eyes, beautiful puppies and a wonderful car. Ruairi Robertson explains how new research is proving the connection between our intestines and our brains. Robertson says we are more bacteria than we are human. Some gut bacteria protects us from illness, whereas others make us sick. Killing microbes has contributed to a lot of possible problems in early and late stages of life. Important words to remember: vagus nerve, neurons, serotonin. After you watch this talk you will understand the meaning of "gut feeling", " butterflies in your stomach". This is a wonderfully informative and entertaining talk on how to overcome our neural predisposition to suffering, our tendency to focus on threat and imperfections. Vivimos atenazados por amenazas y miedos que casi nunca se cumplen. En esta charla, aprendemos qué podemos hacer para superar estos prejuicios que no se han modificado a pesar de la evolución. Even if you don´t understand everything he says, he says it so beautifully. A group of researchers have found that just by practising a basic movement to music showed more brain connections. This is very exciting because "Experts say the study could have positive implications for future research into rehabilitation for patients who have lost some degree of movement control."
When you understand we are biased in the most invisible ways. This lady explains it very clearly when she talks about her own visceral reaction to a female voice announcing turbulences ahead.
Todos tenemos prejuicios. La señora Myers lo explica muy claramente en su referencia a la voz femenina que anuncia turbulencias. Watch this wonderful TED talk: Vernā Myers: How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly towards them. |
