In love, we fall. We're struck, we're crushed, we swoon. We burn with passion. Love makes us crazy and makes us sick. Our hearts ache, and then they break. Talking about love in this way fundamentally shapes how we experience it, says writer Mandy Len Catron. In this talk for anyone who's ever felt crazy in love, Catron highlights a different metaphor for love that may help us find more joy and less suffering in it.

Love is deeply biological. It pervades every aspect of our lives and has inspired countless works of art. Love also has a profound effect on our mental and physical state. A “broken heart” or a failed relationship can have disastrous effects; bereavement disrupts human physiology and may even precipitate death. Without loving relationships, humans fail to flourish, even if all of their other basic needs are met. As such, love is clearly not “just” an emotion; it is a biological process that is both dynamic and bidirectional in several dimensions. Social interactions between individuals, for example, trigger cognitive and physiological processes that influence emotional and mental states. In turn, these changes influence future social interactions. Similarly, the maintenance of loving relationships requires constant feedback through sensory and cognitive systems; the body seeks love and responds constantly to interactions with loved ones or to the absence of such interactions. The evolutionary principles and ancient hormonal and neural systems that support the beneficial and healing effects of loving relationships are described here.

This is an Open Educational Resource created by University College Groningen (The Netherlands) students taking the course Biopsychology in Spring 2021.
In small teams, students were tasked with creating, composing, and curating an online portfolio dedicated to an interdisciplinary exploration of a topic of their choice. Their portfolio needed to be grounded in neuroscience, incorporate peer-reviewed research, and propose active learning exercises for future students and viewers.
Included topics: - A trip through the world of psychedelics - Alzheimer's disease - Animal minds - Biopsychological aspects of sexuality - Consciousness - Go with the flow: an interdisciplinary exploration of the flow state - Happiness and well-being - Hypnosis - Intergenerational trauma - Lucid dreaming - Machine learning for mind reading - Social and cultural neuroscience of prejudice - Our sense of self - Out of body experiences - You and aesthetics

This course explores the problem of intelligence—its nature, how it is produced by the brain and how it could be replicated in machines—using an approach that integrates cognitive science, which studies the mind; neuroscience, which studies the brain; and computer science and artificial intelligence, which study the computations needed to develop intelligent machines. Materials are drawn from the Brains, Minds and Machines Summer Course offered annually at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA, taught by faculty affiliated with the Center for Brains, Minds and Machines headquartered at MIT. Elements of the summer course are integrated into the MIT course, 9.523 Aspects of a Computational Theory of Intelligence. Contributors This course includes the contributions of many instructors, guest speakers, and a team of iCub researchers. See the complete list of contributors.

Long Description: During the early days of quarantine, many teachers turned to poetry to process their experiences. Teacher-Poets Writing to Bridge the Distance: An Oral History of COVID-19 preserves this poetry and teachers’ experiences as they navigated a new reality in education. In the interviews, teachers revisit poems written a year prior, re-witnessing, with perspective offered only by time, the impact of the pandemic on them as teachers and on education more broadly. This anthology offers readers the poems shared across 39 collected oral histories. The full collection of interviews is available for online public access at the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program.

In Module 1, couples will delve into the concept of conflict. Through an engaging video and interactive activities, couples will develop an understanding of conflict as a natural part of human relationships. This module sets the foundation for the course.Module 2 is dedicated to the communication skills for effective conflict resolution. Couples will discover the power of active listening. Through practical exercises and role-playing, individuals will have the opportunity to apply this skill in real-life scenarios.As we progress to Module 3, couples will explore a de-escalation technique that is essential for preventing conflicts from intensifying into emotionally charged situations. The time-out strategy will be discussed in detail, emphasizing its role in creating a space for both partners to cool off and gain perspective.
