In episode 61 of o11ycast, Jessica and Martin speaks with Heidi Waterhouse of Sym. Together they explore the sensations of proprioception and interoception, how they relate to the future of observability, and the ways machine learning could assist in simplifying that future.

o11ycast - Ep. #61, What Comes After o11y with Heidi Waterhouse of Sym

‘How’ are you hearing what you are hearing? Is hearing decoding? Do you already know what’s next? Would it have helped to have an accompanying video? Do we ’need’ to be able to differentiate at the level of sound to be able to ascribe different meanings? Why do a few hear Yanni, & a few Laurel? Do frogs need to see each other when croaking? When does the ear begin to form? Is the ear also a vestibular organ? Are you aware of the coordinated movement of your articulators? Are these articulators highly inefficient? Is there a link between hearing and higher cognitive functions? Is there a critical period for articulation? Did Neanderthals have vocalization? Are speech production and perception multi-sensory? Do gestures accompanying speech indicate that they may have been all integrated in the past? Did we get eyes before ears? How do sound vibrations become electrical signals? Have you experienced auditory hallucinations? Is the process of hearing confirmatory? Is silent reading (almost like) speaking ? Do we know how we think in language? Do several animals catch musical beats? Could the deaf hear in the future? How do dolphins hear? &, would we communicate via telepathy in the future? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using ideas from phonetics & linguistics (Prof. Indranil Dutta, Jadavpur University, Kolkata), & developmental biology (Dr. Raj Ladher, NCBS, Bangalore).

#TAOTA (The Audition Of The Audible) --- SynTalk

This class is dedicated "In Loving Memory to Eleanor Criswell Hanna, May 12, 1929 - September 19, 2024," who was my teaching partner for 33 years.

For a long time I've wanted to integrate information about fascia with somatic movement. The current model of anatomy uses the term "myofascia" instead of muscle. Fascia is the current name for the body’s soft tissue network which is continuous and ubiquitous throughout our whole body. The term "muscle" gives us a general location within the body. Every muscle fiber, every bundle of muscle fibers, and the whole muscle is wrapped in fascia. Therefore muscle itself is interpenetrated and surrounded by fascia. Fascia is our largest sensory organ, is responsible for our proprioception (self sensing), for our shape, which we mold over time, holds our patterns, and manages our body-wide force transmission system. When we move our whole body reconfigures to produce that movement. As we move some areas condense, some areas expand, in a continuous dance. We are a unity. When we focus our movement, for example, on shoulder movement, our whole body is reconfigured. This is why releasing myofascial tension and pain in one area can be the key to releasing tension and pain in another area of the body. In my opinion, if we broaden our awareness as we alternate between movement and rest, we'll have greater ability to experience the positive and healthful potential embedded in somatic movement.

I've become very interested in how organs support our movement and how movement supports our organs. My approach is to learn more scientific information about the organs, but even more important to me is how to embody my own experience of the organs. My main tools are bringing focused awareness, breathing and movement to my organs. The lung movements I am presenting in this video are a combination of my own somatic exploration, and influences studying with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Thomas Meyers, and Gil Hedley. I would love to hear your comments and feedback.

togeki - Proprioception (AH Tune Tuesday)

Melissa Orth-Fray is a Certified Hanna Somatic Educator and is also trained in many modalities. Her clients range from high level athletes to children and adults with neurological issues. This class focused on a combination of Hanna Somatic Movement, reflex integration, and proprioceptive activities. I hope you watch this class a number of times. Her very clear guidance brought us to a greater awareness of where and how our bodies move in space. For example, we palpated our sits bones, sternum, and the bony landmark of our ASIS on each hip bone. As Melissa guided us she had us notice various relationships between different parts of our body including the effect of the movement on our forelegs, rib basket, pelvis, and more. We used a "skin tugging" technique to wake up our proprioceptive receptors. We practiced rotational moves in all 3 dimensions, we practiced crossing midline, and learned to pay attention to transferring weight from our upper body to our lower body. This class was very rich and offers creative explorations for better functioning in our daily lives and activities.

Thousand years have passed and my memories come back, it was the time of knight of the fortresses and minstrels" from the future we change the past Artificial Intelligences kills the creative souls of humanity  " HERE NO AI " "MUSIQUE COSMOLOGIQUE". Experimental improvisation laboratory since 2007 "Cosmosonic Music"  Art finds its strength in repression and constraints"  SOUND CREATION.  Original electronic keyboard, continuous creative activity  "Uzeste  New Aquitaine FRANCE"...  Nous vaincrons ensemble le doute, tous nos fantômes de mort et de peur n'y pourront rien, nous sommes chevaliers de la Terre et chevauchons les mondes imbriqués l'un dans l'autre.
D'un univers sans fin à un monde solide, d'une cage de feu à un nuage heureux, le passage étroit jouxte la lumière de la nuit obscure. Force de renoncement à tout, espace intime et infime de la vie.
La musique est lumière dans les ténèbres, tout est vibration, la fin est mot ou le nom d'une porte, même les murs de la plus dure des pierres sont des voiles légers pour l'âme sur l'étincelle de vie. "original sound paintings " .We shall overcome together the doubt, all our ghosts of death and fear will do nothing there, we are knights of the Earth and are astride the imbricated worlds one in the other.
Of an endless universe to a solid world, a cage of fire in a happy cloud, the narrow passage adjoins the light of the dark night. Strength of renunciation of everything, intimate and tiny space of the life.
The music is light in the darkness, everything is vibration, the end is word or the name of a door, even the walls of the hardest some stones are veil light for the soul on the spark of life..  
"Thanks to the Earth and the Nature for all their benefactions " see you soon, I wait for you, I am your consciousness, I am the happy being, the one who grows and forms in the wet clay of infinite times, in the wind of the storms where the grace of the thick spell of the blue waves carries the brightness. "  " remerciements à la Terre et la Nature pour tout leurs bienfaits "A bientôt, je vous attends, je suis votre conscience, je suis l’être heureux, celui qui pousse et germe dans la glaise humide des temps infinis, dans le vent des tempêtes où la grâce de l’épais sortilège des vagues bleues porte la clarté." "création de peintures sonores originales"
