Mood & Music Musical preference is unique to the listener. There are so many different cultures and personalities–which makes it quite difficult to decide what to listen to. In addition to different tastes in music, there are times and places where it may not be appropriate to play something. A scene at the airport would be hard to imagine if one was able to hear hit rap songs over the PA system. According to the infographic, more people listen to rock music when they are upset. Letting people be themselves is one of the most important things you can do for them. Share This Infographic Get Free Infographics Delivered to your Inbox
La créativité: 18 choses que les gens créatifs font différemment des autres CERVEAU - La créativité opère de manière mystérieuse et souvent paradoxale. La pensée créative est une caractéristique stable qui définit certaines personnalités, mais elle peut aussi changer en fonction du contexte. On a souvent l’impression que l’inspiration et les idées naissent de nulle part et qu’elles disparaissent au moment où on a le plus besoin d’elles. La pensée créative nécessite une cognition complexe qui est néanmoins complètement différente du processus de réflexion. La neuroscience nous propose une image très complexe de la créativité. Psychologiquement parlant, les types de personnalités créatives sont difficiles à repérer, car elles sont en général complexes, paradoxales et qu’elles ont tendance à éviter l’habitude ou la routine. S’il n’existe pas de profil créatif "typique ", on trouve cependant des caractéristiques et des comportements révélateurs chez les personnes extrêmement créatives. Selon Kaufman et la psychologue Rebecca L. Ils prennent le temps d’être seuls
Ces hommes et ces femmes sans sexe déterminé Lorsque l'enfant paraît, c'est la première question : fille ou garçon ? Pourtant, une fois sur quatre mille environ, la réponse ne s'impose pas et le joli scénario de la naissance déraille. "J'étais encore sur la table pour la délivrance quand le médecin m'a mis le sexe de mon bébé devant le nez et m'a dit : "Regardez : on ne sait pas ce que c'est." Inès (1) a bien observé ces deux minuscules testicules et ce pénis collé, "comme une boursouflure". " Pour moi, ce petit zizi, ce n'était pas grave. L'Australie a adopté une troisième case, "x", sur les papiers d'identité Et si le sexe n'était pas binaire ? En France, ces initiatives font figure de fantaisies. Fin mai, une pétition signée par plus de 270 000 personnes a eu raison de l'amendement Sommaruga (loi sur la Refondation de l'école), qui proposait de former les enseignants à l'égalité entre les genres, histoire de lutter contre les stéréotypes liés au sexe. Un homme peut passer sa vie sans s'en rendre compte Son sexe a été "customisé"
Training the Musical Brain Tonight is opening night. I can already imagine it: the theatre is full. From the wings I can hear muted pre-show conversations, the rustle of programs, laughter. The house lights go down, and the tension in my stomach tightens; my intestines feel like knots. I start to sweat, and hope my shaking is not visible. The Cast of Another Elfing Musical. I’m appearing this week in an amateur musical theatre production. Performance Anxiety Stagefright, known to scientists and doctors as “performance anxiety” results from an overactivation of a part of the brain called the amygdala. Role of the Amygdala The amygdala is closely connected to the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, itself responsible for keeping our bodily systems on an even keel. The fight or flight response may be useful if our fear is the result of an encounter with a grizzly bear, but in the case of stagefright, it’s hard to see how it can help us. Fear alters your brain chemistry
How Creativity Can Make You More Resilient | meQuilibrium By Terri Trespicio What role does creativity play in your life? Do you like to make, cook, paint, write or glue things together? The more you do, the better off you may be. That's what Brene Brown, Ph.D, told the audience of nearly 4,000 at the recent How Design Live conference, where graphic designers, visual artists, and other creative professionals go for information and inspiration in their industry. "The biggest question I've gotten in my career is this," she said. "If you want to move knowledge from your head to your heart, it requires your hands," she said. This isn't just a nice-to-do -- it's critical for helping you get back up after you've fallen, she says...also known as resilience. A dear friend of mine, a musician, says he can tell when he's gone too long without making something -- he gets irritable, edgy, impatient. So, I ask you: What creative urge have you been stifling? (Find out how to make cooking at home more doable and fun.)

Why Your Brain Craves Music If making music isn’t the most ancient of human activities, it’s got to be pretty close. Melody and rhythm can trigger feelings from sadness to serenity to joy to awe; they can bring memories from childhood vividly back to life. The taste of a tiny cake may have inspired Marcel Proust to pen the seven-volume novel Remembrance of Things Past, but fire up the Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction” and you’ll throw the entire baby-boom generation into a Woodstock-era reverie. From an evolutionary point of view, however, music doesn’t seem to make sense. Unlike sex, say, or food, it did nothing to help our distant ancestors survive and reproduce. (MORE: Your Brain on Sesame Street: Big Bird Helps Researchers See How the Brain Learns) But the nucleus accumbens is just part of the neural symphony. That, it turns out, may be the key to music’s power. The subjects listened to the first 30 seconds of each tune while lying in an fMRI imager as the scientists monitored their brains.
5 Reasons Creative Geniuses Like Einstein, Twain and Zuckerberg Had Messy Desks – And Why You Should Too On the day Einstein died, Time photographer Ralph Morse eschewed the crowds of reporters and other photojournalists gathered at Princeton Hospital, and instead found his way to Einstein’s office at the Institute of Advanced Studies. He snapped a single picture of the legacy of the world’s greatest mind. What that picture (below) shows is chaos. Not an inch of Einstein’s desk is free of paper. Books, manuscripts, magazines, and envelopes are everywhere (alone with what looks like a cookie jar). The same goes for the shelves. It’s a mess, and he liked it that way. Empty desks are all the rage. Minimalist, paper-free offices are the current trend with a place for everything and everything in its place. But for creative minds this might be the worst possible way to work. 01. Psychologist Kathleen Vohs, from the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management, was interested in whether there was any social purpose to messiness. She and her group set out to test this hypothesis. 02. 03.
