Cette étude artistique et technique s’inscrit directement dans une recherche entamée depuis des années, sur la question de la représentation sublimée de la mort, qui se retrouve pleinement transfiguré dans l’emblème de la Vanité et sur la recherche de nouvelles façons d’entretenir un dialogue en rétroaction avec l’œuvre. Sur le point artistique, la recherche analyse le processus de création, qui a mené de la représentation sublimée de la mort en vidéo, à la réalisation et l’expérimentation de Vanité au sein de tableaux virtuels interactifs et immersifs. Cette analyse apporte des réponses aux questionnements envers la signification des intentions liées à la création et l’utilisation de Vanité en 3D dans des installations conversationnelles. Elle met en lumière les enjeux de ce procédé innovant par rapport à l’histoire de la Vanité depuis son apparition.

  • Nord Brain Stimulation in Psychiatry
    Cambridge Textbook of Neuroscience for Psychiatrists Chapter title: Brain stimulation in psychiatry Name: Dr Camilla L Nord Affiliation: MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge Email: [email protected] Phone: 01223767481 Address: MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, 15 Chaucer Road, Cambridge, CB2 7EF 1 Brain stimulation in psychiatry One of the best examples of translation from neuroscience to psychiatric treatment is brain stimulation, an array of techniques aimed at modulating the activity and/or plasticity of particular brain structures. Brain stimulation is not new: as far back as ancient Rome, the physician Scribonius Largus wrote of electrical stimulation to relieve migraine (although he employed a torpedo fish, a species of electric ray). Today, a number of invasive and non- invasive brain stimulation techniques show efficacy in treating psychiatric disorders. What these distinct approaches have in common is their ability to target specific neural regions more directly than traditional pharmacological or psychological approaches (see Figure 1). This capacity to influence the very circuits implicated in neuroscience studies has contributed to some transformative discoveries, but has faced key translational challenges, including response variability and inadequate placebos. 1. Non-invasive brain stimulation There are two chief forms of non-invasive brain stimulation: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). TMS uses brief, high-current pulses to induce a magnetic field, indirectly activating neurons, and causing an increase or decrease in brain activity in a localised target region1. There is substantial evidence that repetitive high-frequency TMS pulses over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) are effective for major depressive disorder2, purportedly by restoring activity in the L-DLPFC, a commonly-described source of aberrant activation in neuroimaging studies in depression (often, but not always, showing hypoactivation)3.

This qualitative study is about dispositions of emotional intelligence in school principals. The participants interviewed were novice school principals or principal coaches. The results showed that principals tend to address the needs of others more than their own. Strategies are shared on how to improve emotional intelligence. Additionally, the study provides recommendations that school districts can implement to ensure the success of school principals. Keywords: emotional intelligence, school principals, self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, social skill, Daniel Goleman, Dale Carnegie, anticipatory mindset DISPOSITIONS OF EI IN PRINCIPALS 5 Preface The feeling of pride when becoming a principal is not easy to describe.

  • Neurohacking: Rewiring Your Brain by Don Vaughn (Transcript) | 1
    Neurohacking: Rewiring Your Brain by Don Vaughn (Transcript) | 1 Following is the full text of Don Vaughn’s talk titled “Neurohacking: rewiring your brain” at TEDxUCLA conference. Don Vaughn – TEDx Talk TRANSCRIPT Inside each one of us is a beautiful symphony. 100 billion neurons firing in concert, constructing this vivid reality that we’re living in. And inside each little piece of that neural activity lives a little bit of what makes you, you. And after your experiences today, that activity will have shifted and you will never be the same. You are inextricably tied to your brain. When I first learned these principles, when I was 16, I fell in love with the brain, and I’ve been doing neuroscience research ever since. Now, one day, we were doing a new MRI experiment. And I was surprised because the experiment went well, but much to all of our shock, I had a hole in my brain. It was a pretty big one too; it was like 30% of my cerebellum just wasn’t there. Which, as you might imagine, I was pretty shocked because I didn’t feel like anything about me or my life and my experience of the world had changed or was missing. The cerebellum is one of the most fundamental parts of your brain. It has, like, 80% of all of your neurons. So I got interested. Now, there’s this collision between what your brain is supposed to do and then what it’s dealt, and somehow it finds a middle ground. And I became really interested in the idea of your brain as a dynamic, flexible system.
