You 2.0: How to Get Out of a Rut

There are times in life when the challenges we face feel insurmountable. Authors succumb to writer’s block. Athletes and artists hit a plateau. People of a certain age fall into a midlife crisis. These are all different ways of saying: I’m stuck. This week, in a favorite conversation from 2023, psychologist Adam Alter shares his research on why we all get stuck at various points in our lives, and how to break free. Then, psychologist George Bonanno answers your questions about trauma and resilience. In this episode, you'll learn: *Why the beginning and the end of a project is often more manageable than the midway point. *Techniques that can help you to get through the "plateau" phase of a project or goal. *How to break down daunting endeavors into smaller, more manageable pieces. *Why perfectionism is so destructive to creativity, and how we can avoid this mental trap. *Why it's difficult for us to see other people's "stuckness." *The relationship between being prolific and being successful. Hidden Brain is heading back out on the road in 2026! We're coming next to Philadelphia and New York City, with more tour dates across the country to be announced later this spring.

Brain Balls

When neuroscientist Madeline Lancaster was a brand new postdoc, she accidentally used an expired protein gel in a lab experiment and noticed something weird. The stem cells she was trying to grow in a dish were self-assembling. The result? Madeline was the first person ever to grow what she called a “cerebral organoid,” a tiny, 3D version of a human brain the size of a peppercorn. In about a decade, these mini human brain balls were everywhere. They were revealing bombshell secrets about how our brains develop in the womb, helping treat advanced cancer patients, being implanted into animals, even playing the video game Pong. But what are they? Are these brain balls capable of sensing, feeling, learning, being? Are they tiny, trapped humans? And if they were, how would we know?

Why Can't You Smell The Inside Of Your Nose?

Right now, you’re breathing in. As you inhale, air rushes past millions of sensory receptors, activating the part of your brain responsible for smell. And yet, there’s one scent you’ll never notice: the very nose you’re breathing through, because humans are smell blind to themselves. Today, Professor Hannah Fry and VSauce's Michael Stevens explore the mechanics of perinasal chemosensation, otherwise known as smell.They explore how the Victorians sidelined the sense, why we’ve underestimated it ever since, and whether tuning out most of odours our noses detect is a flaw, or a powerful strategy that's central to survival ------------------- For more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, breakthroughs and how you can support them, visit ⁠⁠https://cancerresearchuk.org/restisscience⁠⁠ Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666), the Isle of Man (1103) and Jersey (247).

ذكاء اصطناعي... وذكوري؟ | بودكاست معلوم

جاءت أدوات الذكاء الاصطناعي، وعصفت بكل ما كنا نفعله في حياتنا! تحوّلت إلى أدوات لغوية وبحثية وإنشائية نعتمد عليها في كل تفاصيلنا اليومية — من العمل إلى الكتابة وحتى التواصل الشخصي. لكن، هل هذه الأدوات فعلًا محايدة وخالية من الانحيازات؟ في هذه الحلقة، نفكّك أسطورة الحياد في أنظمة الذكاء الاصطناعي، ونستعرض كيف تنتقل الانحيازات الجندرية والعرقية إلى الخوارزميات عبر البيانات التي تعكس ممارسات بشرية منحازة تاريخيًا. ونسأل: هل يمكن أن يكون الذكاء الاصطناعي موضوعيًا... إذا كان يتعلّم منّا نحن البشر؟ وما أثر هذه الأدوات الخفي على النساء تحديدًا؟ الحلقة من تقديم شهد جهاد، بحث وكتابة سجى إكميل، تدقيق روان سمامرة، إنتاج وتحرير راما سبانخ، ومونتاج استوديوهات صوت الجنوب، ومن النشر والتواصل فريق صوت. بودكاست معلوم من إنتاج صوت.

Why do some people act bravely in a crisis, while others flee or freeze up? Today, we bring you the second part of our You 2.0 series on the mental obstacles that can block us when we're charting a new path.
