Shows the structure of the nervous system, together with its pathways and connections; the nature of a nerve impulse; conditions for setting up impulses; their passage from cell to cell; their discharge; and resultant activity, along with reflexes, sensory integration, and finally, activity of the cerebrum.
Bulletproof Radio welcomes scientist Dr. Stephen Porges back to the show. He's known for his deep and profound understanding of the human nervous system and its application to real-life clinical settings.
Dr. Porges created the Polyvagal Theory, which explains the workings of the vagal nerve and links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior. He has authored and co-authored several books on the subject. For 25 years, his Polyvagal Theory has been leading to innovative treatments based on insights into the mechanisms mediating symptoms observed in behavioral, psychiatric, and physical disorders.
One of my favorite episodes of Bulletproof Radio was #264 when he and I talked about this theory. I encourage you to listen to that episode and check out the two Bulletproof Blog articles. I was so impressed with his research that I included it in my new book Game Changers, specifically Law #44, which is “Gratitude is Stronger than Fear.”
Dr. Porges also is the creator of a music-based intervention, the Safe and Sound Protocol™, which currently is used by more than 1200 therapists to improve spontaneous social engagement, to reduce hearing sensitivities, and to improve language processing, state regulation, and spontaneous social engagement.
In this new episode, we explore how sound, safety, environment and gratitude are all intimately connected to our nervous system circuitry.
“Your body, in safe environments, will start to spontaneously optimize those circuits,” explains Dr. Porges. “We need to structure narratives that have a degree of positivity, so that our nervous system doesn't feel too scared to evaluate it.”
We’ll be making links between Dr. Stephen’s work and fascinating brain-body interactions, often deeply rooted in our ancient biology. We introduce “neuroception,” find out how to structure environments for those who struggle with sensory processing issues, better understand how hearing frequencies affect adults and kids differently, and learn how to control our own heart rate variability.

The Neuroscience and Power of Safe Relationships - Smart Couple 116
https://relationshipschool.com/podcast/the-neuroscience-power-of-safe-relationships-stephen-w-porges-sc-116/
Have you ever wondered why you struggle to learn something new when you are stressed? Do you wonder why you or your partner are so damn sensitive? Well, there's a scientific reason for all of this and in this week's episode, I interview the leading authority on the autonomic nervous system and the man who developed the polyvagal theory, Stephen Porges. He's a real pioneer and someone who cares a lot about you feeling safe, in life, and in your relationships. Stephen Porges is about to give you a big download on why you might not feel safe and what you can do about it. Bottom line? We cover the neuroscience of safe relationships and how to create them.
Mr. Hoffer begins his discussion of “The New Age” by pointing out that it is generally, though falsely, referred to in America as the “Age of the Masses” (i.e. mass communications, mass consumption, mass production). He explains that it is no longer the masses who control the political and economic life of the country. In politics, it is the intellectual who is the general, the diplomat, the ruler. Economically, with the rise of automation, it is the intellectual with the machine who is replacing the many laborers and their hands. Mr. Hoffer then compares the intellectual of the past and present in this country. In the past, the intellectual of America, in much the same manner as today’s European, Asian and African intellectual, was a colonial and ruled with the attitude of a colonial. He demanded absolute obedience and power, and his interests were not so much with the needs of the masses as with the construction and initiation of imposing works and great ideas. In contrast to the “Old Colonialism” of America’s intellectual of the past, the “New colonialist” intellectual of America today rose from the masses and his interests lie with the needs and demands of the masses. Mr. Hoffer describes the “New Colonialist” intellectual as “the man in the business suit who looks like everyone else.” Economically, he is interested in wages, clothing and feeding the people. Politically, he wants not blind obedience but the enthusiastic approval and support of the masses for his projects and ideas. He concludes by stating his believe that the “Old Colonialism” of today’s European, Asian and African intellectual leaders should learn from the “New Colonialism” of America.
Shows and discusses baby clothing and pictures the actions of two babies less than six weeks old. General styles of various items of baby clothing are displayed, their advantages are pointed out, and minimum quantities needed are suggested. (WQED) Kinescope.
In this program, Stoessinger points out the continuity of imperialism from Czarist Russia to Russia today, Russia’s attitude toward nationalism being that it should be ruthlessly crushed. The Soviet’s techniques of empire building are several including playing nationalistic groups against each other and exploiting anti-fascist resistance to its own gain. In the past, nationalism has caused many blocks to Communism and they have constantly had to change their techniques. A former Albanian freedom fighter is interviewed.
Since 2001, the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis and the Indiana University Digital Library Program have partnered to create the Digital Library of the Commons (DLC) - a gateway to the international literature on the commons. The DLC provides free and open access to full-text articles, papers, and dissertations. In this talk, we will discuss the new infrastructure that has been developed to preserve and make available the world's only dedicated collection on the study of the commons.
Recently, the Indiana University Libraries implemented Blacklight, an open source discovery layer, as the new public interface for IUCAT, the statewide shared online catalog. Blacklight was chosen as the solution to improve the usability and accessibility of the catalog in response to user and staff dissatisfaction with the traditional ILS OPAC interface and in preparation for IU's upcoming move to the Kuali Open Library Environment (OLE). A successful discovery implementation requires buy-in from library staff as well as the approval and acceptance of users; this presentation will highlight the numerous challenges in achieving success in a complex environment of diverse stakeholders with divergent needs and goals. Courtney will give a brief overview of the project thus far, discuss the impact of the new interface on user and staff workflows, and share hopes for further enhancements and plans for the transition to OLE.
Stoessinger suggest that the rise of the new nationalism may characterize this era more than the East-West struggle. He discusses the two trends today; new nations and new unified supra-states, and discusses the main unifying factors common to the rise of new nationalistic states. These include neutralism, the quest for racial equality, religion as a unifying or dividing factor, the planned socialistic economy, and Westernization in its various manifestations. How can democracy export its ideas and ideals to countries that have little background and experience in democratic methods? This is the great problem of communication, concludes Stoessinger.
Considers the recently deciphered tablets from Pylos and Knossus that have furnished evidence calling for a thorough revision of Greek history before Homer. Discusses this "brand new" world of Ancient Greece and the possibility that Homer could actually write. (NYU) Kinescope.
Recently the Association for Psychological Science revised its publication guidelines to reward Open Science practices and to encourage the use of the “New Statistics” as a better alternative to null hypothesis significance testing (NHST). Other journals and professional societies seem to be moving in the same direction, often in collaboration with funding agencies.
This workshop will provide a practical introduction to the New Statistics and some emerging Open Science practices. We will worth through examples from several common research designs. We will also explore resources that can help you adopt these approaches in your own research.
While not all research data can be made publicly available, many funders would like to see the research data generated by their funding dollars made more accessible. Combined with the emergence of journal data availability requirements, there is a strong trend towards openness for access to research data. In October 2020, the Final NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing was released. This policy requires submission of a Data Management and Sharing Plan at the time of proposal as well as release of the data, whether access is open or controlled, to be made “no later than the time of an associated publication, or the end of the award/support period, whichever comes first.” When this policy goes into effect in January 2023, awards will include the approved DMS Plan in the Terms and Conditions, at which point IU will become legally responsible for complying with the DMS Plan. In this talk the IU Data Management Plan Working Group will give a short presentation on these upcoming changes, some resources to assist faculty, and answering questions.
Discusses trends in the nominating process and the changes in sectional voting patterns. Briefly mentions the influence of third parties and splinter candidates. Summarizes criticisms of the political convention and the primary system, concluding that the process, whatever its weakness, has proved workable. Considers the influence of television on American elections. (Dynamic Films) Film.
Episode 14 from the Agency for Instructional Television series American Legacy. Host John Rugg reviews the exploration and settlement of the American Northwest, including the Columbia River, the Lewis and Clark expedition, and the Oregon Trail. Emphasizes the region's major industries, namely, lumber products and aircraft manufacturing.
In this pre-recorded webinar we will explore a number of useful resources that NSSE provides for prospective students and parents as well as for campus use by admissions staff, for new faculty orientation, and in student life training. Since rankings say little about the student experience on any particular campus, results from the NSSE survey help institutions to understand their students and provide a snapshot of how students actually use institutional resources for learning and how they feel about the quality of their educational experience.
With the update to the NSSE instrument, ten new Engagement Indicators were rigorously tested to replace the original Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice. NSSE research analysts have conducted several tests to evaluate the quality of the indicators, including descriptive analysis and studies of validity, reliability, and survey construction. This session will provide useful information for both NSSE 2013 and 2014 participants regarding the development of the indicators, and insights from the analyses. In this live, interactive webinar, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with other viewers, and the presenters.

Presentation at Open Repositories 2015 (OR2015), the 10th International Conference on Open Repositories, Indianapolis, Indiana, in session P5A: Building the Perfect Repository.
This February was the third year anniversary of the Open Access Policy, authored to ensure the accessibility and availability of university scholarship to the public for future generations. When the policy was passed, the Scholarly Communication Department was tasked with encouraging several thousand faculty to annually deposit their work into a new institutional repository, IUScholarWorks Open. To facilitate the deposit process, developers in Library Technologies developed the Bloomington Research Information Tracking Engine, also known as BRITE. The BRITE application is able to check the open access and copyright status of articles, compile emails to faculty, and prepare metadata for batch deposit into IUScholarWorks Open. While some manual intervention is still necessary, BRITE has helped our team automate a normally extensive and time-consuming process. This session will walk through the process of development for the BRITE application, as well as the documentation that allows users and employees with little to no subject knowledge on copyright, metadata, or automation to successfully navigate the application. We will also discuss some of our plans for the BRITE application in the future, and look for insight into what development our users may need moving forward.
Susie-Q forgets to look after the plants and fish in the classtoom just when the school open house is coming up. Brushy helps her get things in order and the visitors and teacher are very pleased. Thus Susie-Q learns the importance of working at school.
The Cambridge Festival Orchestra joins Professor Woodworth in a consideration of the romantic expansion of the orchestra. The brass choir in Beethoven's hands developed tremendously, and this was picked up and carried on by Mendelssohn, Brahms, Mahler and Tchaikovsky. Woodwinds and percussion instruments were also increasingly used to obtain special effects. Examples of this development are played, and at the end Professor Woodworth and the orchestra perform portions of two contrasting 20th Century Symphonies—Sibelius' Symphony Number 5 and Piston's Symphony Number 3—both of which used instrumentation to convey special moods.
Presents the story of the orchid. Uses close-ups to show how the orchid differs from simpler flowers. Demonstrates with actual orchids the complicated flower parts. Explains their devices and traps for attracting insects to insure cross-pollination. (WGBH-TV) Kinescope.
Mr. Hoffer discusses with Mr. Day how change affects an individual’s self-esteem. He considers change in relation to the problems of African-Americans, the under-developed countries of Asia and Africa, and popular upheavals in communist countries. He says: “Times of drastic change are times of passion. We can never be fit and ready for that which is wholly new. We have to adjust ourselves, and every radical adjustment is a crisis in self-esteem. We undergo a test; we have to prove ourselves. A population subjected to drastic change is thus a population of misfits, and misfits live and breathe in an atmosphere of passion.”
Can a career woman make a good mother? Max Lerner and six Brandeis students discuss the double dilemma of the American woman. In school she is caught between doing well scholastically and finding a man. Later it is the problem of a career versus homemaking. But there is a resistance to careers for women in this country. Today as opposed to the thirties, the woman is accused of marrying for security rather than for love. Before marriage the standard is to hold everything and to give nothing. After marriage the situation is reversed. The ideal solution appears to be have the fling and career before marriage. But the woman of today is still groping for the media between the two. Each must find the way most suitable for herself – the dilemma will then be solved.
Here, working politicians consider selection and preparation of the convention site, the role of the National Committee in the organization and operation of the convention, the functions of standing committees of the convention, and settlement of disputes in seating of contested delegates.
Describes the organization of American states and appraises its effectiveness. Discusses U.S.-Latin American relations and considers how they can be improved.
The third film in a five-film series, this film illustrates how pre-school children use the forms and arrangements of the words of their language to convey meaning. This is the grammar of the language. This film shows how patterns of organization differ from language to language and are based not so much on logic as on customs and conventions peculiar to each language. A class in German shows how grammatical patterns and their variations are taught by modern methods.
Episode 10 from the Agency for Instructional Technology series Geography in U.S. history : illuminating the geographic dimensions of our nation's development.
Discusses Christian dogma versus the Darwinian theory. Stresses the impact of modern psychology and biology upon man's concept of man. Discusses some sociological and legal distinctions between man and animals. (Palmer Films) Kinescope.
Humans are remarkably similar to other apes. Like us, chimpanzees and orangutans are extremely clever, use tools and exhibit rudimentary understanding of causality and what others intend. However, other apes are not nearly as good at understanding the intentions of others nor nearly so eager to accommodate or help them. By contrast, right from an early age, humans are eager to help and share. It was this combination of understanding what others intend along with impulses to help and please them that enabled our ancestors to coordinate behavior in pursuit of common goals—with spectacular consequences later on. So how and why did such other-regarding capacities emerge in creatures as self-serving as non-human apes are? And why did they emerge in the line leading to the genus Homo, but not in other apes?
In her lecture, Sarah Hrdy explains why she became convinced that the psychological and emotional underpinnings for these "other-regarding" impulses emerged very early in hominin evolution, as byproducts of shared parental and alloparental care and provisioning of young. According to widely accepted chronology, large-brained, anatomically modern humans evolved by 200,000 years ago, while behaviorally modern humans, capable of symbolic thought and language, evolved more recently still, in the last 150,000 or so years. But Hrdy hypothesizes that emotionally modern humans, interested in the mental and subjective states of others emerged far earlier, perhaps by the beginning of the Pleistocene 1.8 million years ago.

Summary:
Uses live-action photography and animation to explain how the earth is protected from extremes of heat and cold by the layer of atmosphere which surrounds it, how the sun's heat is distributed by moving air masses, and how the activities of cold and warm fronts produce constantly changing weather conditions over the surface of the earth. Shows the origins of weather--the uneven distribution of the sun's rays over the surface of the earth, the redistribution of the sun's heat from equator to poles by moving air, the origins and movements of cold and warm fronts, and the formation of local phenomena such as cumulonimbus clouds and thunderstorms. | See description for Color version FC1086.
Opens with a classroom scene in which Judy is crying at her desk. Her teacher learns that the accidental spilling of a bottle of perfume began a series of incidents of teasing by Jack which culminated in the classroom scene. Then mentions alternative courses of action and invites audience discussion.
Immediately after the overthrow of the Czar in 1917 the Kerensky government was formed, the short-lived and only democratic national government Russia has ever known. Dr. Sworakowski provides a detailed and carefully analyzed description of the reasons why Kerensky’s government fell so quickly. He also reads a letter from an eye-witness of the overthrow. Again, dramatic episodes alternate with commentary and narration over photographs and documents, as a picture of Lenin’s strategy and attack in the November Revolution is built up.
Continues the painting shown in UNDERPAINTING. More area is covered with underpaint, the head and face are developed through the use of brushes, and additional work is done on the chest area.
Mr. Hartzell and Dr. Patrick talk to three pairs of parents to find out what they expect of, and hope for, their children. All six parents agree that the most important thing for their children to be is well adjusted. They agree, too, that the extracurricular activities and sports available in schools are at least as important as are studies: Mr. Vaught, in fact, says that a well-rounded boy is more important than a scholar. They feel that school must be a preparation for life, and that their children must learn to hold their own in a highly competitive world. Sports and elocution are as useful in training children as are purely academic subjects, the parents agree.
This portion of the discussion describes the relationship between the children and their parents at home. Mr. and Mrs. Vaught discuss what responsibilities their son has, and how he earns money. Mr and Mrs. McDougall point to the fact that their son is saving his money to go to college. All the parents feel that their children should have some responsibilities in the home, and that very few rules should be imposed. This, they agree, applies in the field of social activities, and although two of the parents are not very happy about the prospect of teenagers who go steady, they all believe that their children’s social lives, and marriages, should not be interfered with by the parents. Mr. and Mrs. Peters conclude with the comment that parents should not force children to excel if they are not inclined to do so. Parent should encourage the child’s capabilities without setting unduly high standards.
Episode 1 from the Agency for Instructional Television series The Heart of Teaching. Dramatizations are designed to help teachers deal with problems - frustration, anger, isolation, change and pressure.

Discusses the competing interests or "factions" which existed as separate groups before political parties were organized. Explains that today these groups make themselves felt through competition with the parties for power and influence or by trying to gain dominance within a party. (KETC) Kinescope.
The practice of text mining in digital humanities is phallogocentric. Text mining, a particular kind of data mining in which predictive methods are deployed for pattern discovery in texts is primarily focused on pre-assumed meanings of The Word. In order to determine whether or not the machine has found patterns in text mining, we begin with a “ground truth” or labels that signify the presence of meaning. This work typically presupposes a binary logic between lack and excess (Derrida, Dissemination, 1981). There is meaning in the results or there is not. Sound, in contrast, is aporetic. To mine sound is to understand that ground truth is always indeterminate. Humanists have few opportunities to use advanced technologies for analyzing sound archives, however. This talk describes the HiPSTAS (High Performance Sound Technologies for Access and Scholarship) Project, which is developing a research environment for humanists that uses machine learning and visualization to automate processes for analyzing sound collections. HiPSTAS engages digital literacy head on in order to invite humanists into concerns about machine learning and sound studies. Hearing sound as digital audio means choosing filter banks, sampling rates, and compression scenarios that mimic the human ear.
Unless humanists know more about digital audio analysis, how can we ask, whose ear we are modeling in analysis? What is audible, to whom? Without knowing about playback parameters, how can we ask, what signal is noise? What signal is meaningful? To whom? Clement concludes with a brief discussion about some observations on the efficacy of using machine learning to facilitate generating data about spoken-word sound collections in the humanities.
Introduces the music of the woodwinds. Presents the story of their evolution from outdoor performances to the concert hall. Includes the following: the Second Movement of Haydn's Divertimento in B Flat Major; the First Movement of Antonio Rosetti's Wind Quintet in E Flat; and the Pastorale of Gabriel Pierne.
Professor Peek, Mr. Ravenholt, and Professor John W. Lederle, Director of the Institute of Public Administration at the University of Michigan and recently returned from the Philippines, discuss the questions "How successful has the U.S. been in the Philippines?", "How strategic is the Philippines to the U.S.?", and "What does the future hold for the Philippines?" Since the Islands were ceded by Spain to the U.S. in 1898, the U. S. Government's mission there has been to prepare the people for independence. On July 4, 1946, the 7,150 islands finally became the Philippine Republic, but many problems remain. Lederle explains that the Philippine Government is similar to that of the U.S., but that the central government, with the president in control, is far more powerful than our own Federal Government. This accounts for the weakness at the grassroots level--the apathy of the private citizen toward the government. Mr. Ravenholt points out that the U.S. program to advance the educational system in the Islands has been successful. So, too, the public health program has progressed. However, the economic and social aspects of the situation have not been developed under American guidance. The panel agrees that the Philippine Islands are in a key position in the Far East. Aware of this the U.S. Government has built a large air base and is constructing its largest naval base in the area on Luzon Island. The future potential is great for the Philippines with its undeveloped natural resources, vast timber lands, and some 20 million acres of rich farm land yet to be plowed. It is conceivable that the Philippines could help to feed Japan and India if the Burma rice fields fall under communist control. The Philippines are independent, but the job of the U.S. is not over. New techniques need to be devised to develop the Philippine resources. And Asia is judging America by what happens in the Philippines.
Some songs pertaining to the “música tropical” genre, or music exhibiting tropical rhythms from both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, feature Afro-mestizo protagonists in their lyrics. My study explores the imaginaries constructing the subjectivities of Afro-mestizo men and women and posits that these gender constructions are different between the two sexes. Men tend to be depicted more harshly than women. Both, however, are depicted in a stereotypical and racist manner. My study incorporates feminist and critical race theories as well as postcolonial theories in the analy- sis and hermeneutics of the representation of Afro-mestizos in the lyrics of these songs.

The Piecemakers, Jon Kay, Traditional Arts Indiana
Summary:
In 1982, Minnie Marchant visited the Indiana State Fair's Pioneer Village and saw that no one was demonstrating quilting. She quickly volunteered her home quilt group to fill this void. Ever since, the Piecemakers, a group that quilts at the Salem United Methodist Church in Evansville, has been a staple at the Pioneer Village. In addition to demonstrating, the group donates a one-of-a-kind quilt to be auctioned at the Fair.
Like clockwork, each Wednesday throughout the year, the Piecemakers gather at the church to quilt. Some of the members also assemble on Mondays to make a quilt for the State Fair, a project that requires more than 200 hours of shared labor and talent. "Putting a quilt together is an art -- putting the colors and designs together and being able to see it in your mind before it actually happens," explains Jane Eberhart. All of the members came to quilting in different ways. Some learned to quilt at their mother's knee while others taught themselves. The making of each quilt teaches the group more about the art and draws the circle of friends closer.
Shows the pioneer blacksmith at work using the tools, materials, and techniques of his trade. Explains the importance of the blacksmith shop in filling the pioneers' needs for the manufacture and repair of iron and steel goods.

Summary:
Reviews the development of the agriculture and economics of the pre-Civil War South, and traces this growth from the early Virginia colonies. Shows present soil conditions in the south, views of southern mansions, contemporary drawings, and recreated scenes. An emphasis is placed upon the English influence in architecture and customs upon the plantation system and the pressure of the industrial revolution which caused a shift from tobacco to cotton. Points out that while the plantation owners and bankers benefited greatly by the plantation system's socio-economic structure the shallow depth of these benefits laid the foundation for the system's own inevitable destruction.

Contemporary qualitative research often involves teams of researchers collaborating on a project. Armstrong will discuss the pleasures and challenges of this style of research, drawing both on her experiences working with Indiana University sociology alum Laura Hamilton and a team of graduate and undergraduate researchers on Paying for the Party and her more recent experiences at the University of Michigan. Larger teams can collect more data and leverage the diverse social identities of researchers to gain entree to research sites and participants. Collaboration can also add rigor to data analysis, as classifications and interpretations are debated by the research team. However, collaboration introduces challenges of coordination at all stages of the process. These challenges grow with the size of the research team. In addition, the temptation to collect large volumes of data creates risks that the principal investigator may fall into the role of administrator rather than fieldworker and may lose touch with the data. Goffman argued for full immersion in the field and saw the ethnographer's embodied reactions as invaluable. This embodied knowledge can not easily inform the final product if the person who participated in the ethnographic or interview interactions is not the one doing the writing.
Beautifully costumed marionettes bring this original story by Tom Tichenor to life. It’s the tale of Princess Frumptious who is called "Frumpy" by her servants and people of the kingdom, because her hair is never combed, her apron never tied, her manners always rude. Youngsters will be intrigued with the manner in which she changes her habits and has her name changed to Princess Scrumptious.
Mr. Hartzell interviews three American poets to find out why they are writing poetry in a mechanical age. Is being a poet a real job? Or is a poet essentially a non-productive member of society? Should everyone be able to write poetry? Mr. Ciardi and Mr. Rexroth discuss the reasons for the fact that much of today’s poetry seems incomprehensible. Mr. Eberhart describes the poet’s function, and what motivates his choice of subjects. Slums, wars, despair, are as valid subjects for poetry as are spring, love and joy, since the poet’s function, among other things, is to be a commentator on all phases of life, the three poets decide.

In “The Political Economy of Patriarchal Systems”, Folbre examines feminist efforts to theorize the emergence and evolution of gender inequality no longer invoke some abstract, a-historical “patriarchy.” Rather, they explore the co-evolution of many distinct patriarchies with other hierarchical structures of constraint, emphasizing intersecting forms of inequality based, for instance, on class, race/ethnicity, citizenship, and hetero-normativity. In this presentation, I argue that economic theory offers some important analytical tools for this exploration, providing a framework for analyzing the interplay of social structure and individual choice. In particular, I explain how game theory, bargaining models, and concepts of exploitation can enrich the emerging interdisciplinary paradigm of feminist theory.

Gloria Kaufman directed, produced and co-wrote this video magazine exploring the relationship between feminism and humor. An illustrated lecture by host and co-writer Madeleine Pabis is supplemented by two routines by feminist humorist Kate Clinton, who, says Pabis, "applauds lesbianism in an open and natural way"; an "Emma Goldman puppet show," also hosted by Pabis, essentially a burlesque on Goldman's legal battles that closes with a short sketch about the naming of Planned Parenthood; and an excerpt from a lecture by Una Stannard about male "womb envy."
The focus of this collection is audio and video examples of padabali and lila kirtan performances recorded during fieldwork research in West Bengal, India. The majority of recordings were made between 2011-2012 in Kolkata, Joydeb Kenduli and Kanthi, as the author travelled and studied with musicians. These recordings illustrate features of the large-meter musical style of devotional song in Bengal that is rarely captured in commercial recordings. In addition to these fieldwork recordings, there are also two examples from a Video Compact Disc recording of a lila kirtan produced in 2012.
The polyvagal theory is the brain child of Stephen Porges, PhD. What Dr. Stephen Porges proposes in his polyvagal theory is that the vagus nerve has more function than we previously thought and that the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous systems are only part of the equation in how people react to the environment and trauma. The polyvagal theory is opening up our understanding of how people affect each other and what we can do to better treatment for people suffering from PTSD.
