The predictive processing theory frames much of our work. This talk has some useful demos and a good introduction to the theory at the beginning. Watch the whole lecture for a deeper dive into the topic.
This video gives a simple demonstration of how predictions create your sensory perceptions.
Lisa-Feldman Barrat explains how predictive processing creates our emotional experience. A combination of a certain feeling in the body and concepts learned from the world around us makes our sense of being anything from angry to joyful.
This video breaks down the actual process of your brain answering the question, "What is the sum of three plus two?" From understanding the words that make up the question to calculating and communicating the answer, it's an extensive process.
We recommend this one for its excellent visual journey through the body's fascia. The commentary needs an update, as research has moved on in the twenty years since the film was made.
Fascia is the network of connective tissues under your skin, and we think it affects your mood, movement, and overall wellbeing. In this video, researcher Robert Schleip explains what fascia is and why fascial stiffness and softness have such an effect on us.
This video explains how our bodies and brains create agency. We wonder if a sense of free will might be reliant on metabolic regulation; that agency itself is dependent on your cells getting enough oxygen.
We are interested in how the metabolism of cells may be the key to the overall health of the body. Find out how cells provide us with the energy for life, all from the critical act of breathing.
Philip Bell explains how "life is a system of many levels". We believe that the simple idea that genes determine everything needs updating with the latest knowledge about biomechanical biology.
"Ageing is not a biological inevitability." The extraordinary fact excites us and helps to open up possibilities about how to slow down this process we call ageing.
This video describes the neurological and physiological processes that effect our mental health. How do anti-depressents change the way we percieve the world? How should we use placeboes? Is dopamine really just about rewards?
