Symbiosis is the relationship formed when two organisms, living in close proximity, mutually benefit and evolve due to one another. Fungus is a primary symbiont to many if not most forms of life through their functions of decomposing organic matter and catalyzing nutrient cycles.
The Symbiosis series is a collaboration between Jake Eidem and myself, utilizing Jake Eidem’s painting style with my origami expertise, we created a body of work that conceptually emphasized the close-knit, mutually beneficial relationship we’ve shared in our artistic practice, and tied the gap between our stylization of media in our collaborative show, Liminal Cognition, hosted at the Gamut Gallery.

Strangers will sometimes look at my family and try to work out the relationships. My mother is Scottish and my father is Chinese. My husband’s heritage is Irish, our three biological sons look Scotch-Irish, and our daughter, who was adopted from China, looks like her Chinese grandfather. We clearly are a family unit, but people wonder how the pieces fit together. This is a basic human tendency – trying to make sense of others.
Social Cognition is an area of psychology that focuses on how people judge or make sense of social situations and of others’ behavior. However, the judgments that we make about others are frequently flawed. Human brains are wired for efficiency, for quick, but not necessarily accurate, judgments. In addition, when we first encounter new people, we usually know very little about them. When we make quick judgments based on very little information we often rely on stereotypes. These are beliefs that certain attributes are typical of members of particular groups.
Stereotypes can be positive or negative or true or false. For example, strangers sometimes assume because my daughter is Chinese that she is good at math (she is) and that she is a gifted musician (she is not). Several years ago a parent at an ice skating event commented to me that my daughter must be a good ice skater because she is Chinese. But surely 1.4 billion people (the population of China) cannot all be talented ice skaters.
The problem with stereotypes is that they ignore or discount a person’s individuality. The perceiver projects what s/he thinks about a particular group onto an individual. This tendency to stereotype is troublesome, especially in employment situations, because it may result in ineffective and unfair hiring decisions.
Consider the typical resume review situation in which HR personnel or hiring managers have a large number of applications/resumes to review in a short period of time. Quick judgments based on limited information are conditions that increase the likelihood of stereotyping, and these are common conditions under which resume screening occurs.
Below are some steps that may reduce the tendency to stereotype.
Time and Cognitive Resources. The activation of stereotypes is typically an automatic process. Taking a few extra moments to resist stereotyping may result in more accurate, fairer decisions. Set aside enough time for resume screening. In addition, work in a quiet place and avoid distractions and multi-tasking. These can drain one’s cognitive resources.
Sufficient Information. Generally, the more information that we have about a person the less likely we are to stereotype him or her. Obtain as much information as is possible and practical when making selection decisions.
Motivation. People who are motivated to resist stereotyping and to make fair employment decisions are more likely to meet this goal than those who are not. Placing an emphasis on selection decision fairness and holding employees accountable for fair decisions, may increase the motivation to be fair.

For many scientists, “sensing” is the final endpoint of numerous pathways of cognition; for philosophers, it has often been the first step in the process of reason itself. Current debates center on whether neuroscience can understand cognition if the subject is constituted through an ongoing negotiation with stimulus grasped by a moving and active body, in which one signal is constantly checked against another, rather than the long-cherished binaries of excitation/inhibition, push/pull, or on/off. In short, some theorists assert that much thinking goes on outside the skull. This session explored the scientific and cultural basis for prodigious feats of muscle memory, bodily thinking, on-the-spot decision making, and human action.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) (called emotionally unstable personality disorder, borderline type in the ICD-10) is a personality disorder characterized by unusual variability and depth of moods.[1] These moods may secondarily affect cognition and interpersonal relationships.
Other symptoms of BPD include impulsive behaviour, intense and unstable interpersonal relationships, unstable self-image, feelings of abandonment and an unstable sense of self. An unstable sense of self can lead to periods of dissociation. People with BPD often engage in idealization and devaluation of others, alternating between high positive regard and heavy disappointment or dislike. Such behaviour can reflect a black-and-white thinking style, as well as the intensity with which people with BPD feel emotions. Self-harm and suicidal behaviour are common and may require inpatient psychiatric care.
This disorder is only recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) in individuals over the age of 18. However, symptoms of BPD can also be found in children and adolescents. Without treatment, symptoms may worsen, potentially leading to suicide attempts.
There is an ongoing debate about the terminology of this disorder, especially the word "borderline." The ICD-10 manual refers to this disorder as Emotionally unstable personality disorder and has similar diagnostic criteria. There is related concern that the diagnosis of BPD stigmatizes people with BPD and supports discriminatory practices

Steven Arthur Pinker the 57 year old Canadian-American Professor of experimental psychology and cognitive science has argued in his recent book ‘The Better Angels of Our Nature’ that human violence has fallen drastically over thousands of years. Pinker’s investigation of human violence, one of the base primal aspects of our lives, takes consideration of homicide rates and war casualties as a percentage of national populations. Pinker is renowned for his theory of language acquisition through his research on verbs, morphology and syntax. Pinker is said to have “popularized Noam chomsky’s work on language as innate faculty of mind, with the twist that this faculty evolved by natural selection as a Darwinian adaptation for communication.” Pinker’s work on human cognition suggests that combinatorial symbol manipulation has a significant part to play in the workings of cognition, not just associations among sensory features as many connectionist models argue.

Brazilian artist Vik Muniz radically transforms understanding of image-making by using shifts in scale, photographic manipulation and unexpected materials — from dust and chocolate to grains of sand and industrial garbage — to explore the nature of visual cognition.
While at MIT, Vik Muniz pursued his interests in image production and visual literacy, working with researchers in biology, optics and engineering.
In collaboration with Marcelo Coelho, a PhD candidate in the Fluid Interfaces Group, and Rehmi Post, a research scientist at the Center for Bits and Atoms, Muniz developed a process to machine microscopic images onto millimeter-wide grains of sand, which later become large, high-resolution prints.

“The toxicities of psychiatric medications are significant, and they have only been investigated to a small extent. Many, if not all, psychotropic drugs are profound neuroendocrine disruptors – exerting negative effects upon cognition, growth, metabolism, and reproduction. If another country had inflicted upon America the damage which has been caused by psychiatry and the pharmaceutical industry together, the Congress might have justifiably declared war long ago.” -Grace E.

Oppenheimer's Garden 2013
A large scale installation at the Gamut Gallery for the Liminal Cognition Exhibition.
The name Oppenheimer's Garden references Oppenheimer's research on the atomic bomb and the mushroom cloud produced by the nuclear reaction. This installation displays a variety of clouds composed of mushroom's which literally translates this devastating phenomenon, but conceptually offers a contradictory display as the cloud's appear to be living organisms.
I've utilized mushroom's in my previous work as a metaphor for the life force, from it's vitality and inability to be constrained in Heisenberg's Garden, to it's nature with energy in Albert's Garden and now in it's relation to water in Oppenheimer's Garden. All living organisms are mostly composed of water, condensed clouds if you will. Oppenheimer's Garden is in essence, a translation of the life force juxtaposed with the greatest form of destruction we've yet come to know.

Slow cognitive decline with flavonols, study says
Eating more flavonols, antioxidants found in many vegetables, fruits, tea and wine, may slow your rate of memory loss, a new study finds.
The cognitive score of people in the study who ate the most flavonols declined 0.4 units per decade more slowly than those who ate the fewest flavonols. The results held even after adjusting for other factors that can affect memory, such as age, sex and smoking, according to the study recently published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
“It’s exciting that our study shows making specific diet choices may lead to a slower rate of cognitive decline,” said study author Dr. Thomas Holland, an instructor in the department of internal medicine at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, in a statement.
“Something as simple as eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking more tea is an easy way for people to take an active role in maintaining their brain health.”
Flavonols are cytoprotective, meaning they protect cells, including neurons, so it’s plausible there could be a direct impact on cognition, said Dr. David Katz, a specialist in preventive and lifestyle medicine and nutrition who was not involved in the study.
“But they are also a marker of higher intake of fruits and vegetables — which is good for the brain because it is good for every vital organ, and the organism as a whole,” Katz said in an email.
“They may also be a marker of better overall diet quality, or even greater health consciousness. People who are more health conscious may do things to preserve their cognition, or maybe being more health conscious is a by-product of better cognition.”
A huge family of phytochemicals
Plants contain over 5,000 flavonoid compounds, which play roles in producing cell growth, fighting environmental stress and attracting insects for pollination.
Flavonols, a type of flavonoid, have been shown in animal and some human studies to reduce inflammation, a major trigger for chronic disease, and are rich sources of antioxidants. Antioxidants combat free radicals, “highly unstable molecules that are naturally formed when you exercise and when your body converts food into energy,” according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, part of the National Institutes of Health.
One of the most common flavonols, quercetin, has shown promise in reducing the onset of colorectal cancer and other cancers, according to studies. Onions contain the highest levels — lower levels can be found in broccoli, blueberries, cauliflower, curly kale, leeks, spinach and strawberries.
Another common flavonol, kaempferol, appears to inhibit the growth of cancer cells while preserving and protecting normal cells. Good sources of kaempferol are onions, asparagus and berries, but the richest plant sources are spinach, kale and other green leafy vegetables, as well as herbs such as chives, dill and tarragon.
third major player is myricetin, which has been studied in rodents for blood sugar control and the reduction of tau, a protein that causes the hallmark tangles of Alzheimer’s and other dementia. Spinach and strawberries contain high levels of myricetin, but honey, black currants, grapes and other fruits, berries, vegetables, nuts and tea are also good sources.
The last group of flavonols, isorhamnetin, may protect against cardiovascular and neurovascular disease in addition to anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory benefits. Good sources of isorhamnetin are pears, olive oil, wine and tomato sauce.
You can find a full list of the flavonoid content of various fruits and vegetables here.
An older, dementia-free population
The new study asked 961 people with an average age of 81 and no signs of dementia to fill out a food questionnaire each year for seven years. In addition, the participants underwent annual cognitive and memory tests and were quizzed on their time spent being physically and mentally active.
People were divided into groups based on their daily intake of flavonols. The lowest intake was about 5 milligrams a day; the highest 15 milligrams a day — equal to about a cup of dark leafy greens, the study noted. (For comparison, the average flavonol intake in US adults is about 16 to 20 milligrams per day, according to the study.)
The study looked at the impact of the four major flavonols — kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin and isorhamnetin — on the rate of cognitive decline over the seven years.
The greatest impact was found with kaempferol: People who ate the highest amounts of foods with kaempferol showed a 0.4 units per decade slower rate of cognitive decline compared with those who ate the fewest, according to the study.
Myricetin was next: People who ate the most foods with myricetin had a 0.3 units per decade slower rate of cognitive decline compared with the lowest consuming group. People who ate the most foods with quercetin showed a 0.2 units per decade slower rate of cognitive decline.
Dietary isorhamnetin had no impact, the study found.
The jury is still out?
Despite the apparent positives, studies on the impact of flavonols on human health have been inconclusive -— mainly because many are observational and cannot show a direct cause and effect. That applies to the Neurology study as well, according to its authors.
A few randomized controlled trials — the scientific gold standard — have shown benefits associated with flavonols for controlling blood sugar in type 2 diabetes and improving cardiovascular health, according to the Linus Pauling Institute, home to the Micronutrient Information Center, an online database for nutrition information.
It’s not known whether these benefits are long term, the institute said, and no clear impact has been shown for cancer prevention or cognitive protection.
“There are other bioactives that may contribute to the observed outcomes,” Katz said. “Supplemental studies are required to isolate flavonoid effects fully.”
There’s also a downside to assuming a health impact without the necessary studies to back it up, said Dr. Christopher Gardner, a research professor of medicine and director of the Nutrition Studies Research Group at Stanford University.
“You can count on Americans wanting the benefits of plants but not wanting to eat them,” he said in an email.
“(What) if people read the headline and rush out and buy bottled (extracted) flavonols instead of eating whole plant foods, and it turns out it wasn’t just the flavonols, but the package deal of everything in those plants (instead).”

Memory & Attention
It is essential for cognitive study to explore memory, and it is impossible to treat cognition and remembrance as separate elements. Our past experience always biases our perception. What we have perceived will go through our imagination, and it will be stored in memory. We repeat this roop every day. It is impossible to see more things than our imagination and memory allow us to see. At the same time, it means that if we have more imagination and more kinds of recollections, we might be able to see more elements in the world. A series of experiment was conducted to explore our attention and memory in space.

This will presumably be one of the difficult jobs you’ve associated with getting your brand to market. More particularly, promotional packaging company can produce trial purchases and boost purchase frequency. This can promulgate product changes more efficiently than other marketing communications techniques. The process of promotional packaging is to build a compelling cause for the customer to buy now. If yours is a low cost accessory, the cognition of value can be comfortably raised using excellent, high quality packaging boxes, interesting carton designs or fabric pouches. By giving more to reward the purchaser for their purchase, it can make purchasing or shopping a more plausible activity. Tying nice feelings to your accessories is keys to creating a great brand.
Great, well engineered, promotional packaging can be beneficial, too. When Aropack discovered their purchasers found it difficult to extract their batteries and hearing from the promotional packaging and place them in assistance. Designing excellent packaging brought Aropack increased revenues and improved brand loyalty. Aropack gift boxes, paper bags, and other packaging products are custom-made to ensure high quality product. Slow selling accessories can be combined with well known accessories to build a gift set or an experience. Even the simple gift boxes can be nicely packaged to make it more genuine and more gift-able.
Perhaps not generally considered 'packaging', carrier bags of course boost your shop around town. Many store owners push flimsy carrier bags inside more solid carrier bags with simply handles. Lots of packaging suppliers simply do not handle small quantities products so it's essential to find a packaging supplier that works with small quantity product orders at the very beginning. Luckily there’re now numerous resources available online for packaging your product.
First you need to determine the complete quantity you can order. Opportunities are you may choose ordering more but what you do not need is a plenty of excess promotional packaging that you paid for that not determine what you was in need. Your promotional packaging will boost too so do not be worried if you can get precisely what you want the first time.
Start by asking the existing resources who they know and use as luxury packaging companies. You can search the name of the manufacture on existing promotional packaging too. Keep it comfortable to begin with. We know you’ve exotic package designs or visualized fantastic designs and as your company boosts you’ll be able to order promotional packaging for your products.
These days there’re many great alternatives available in the market. Luxury packaging companies have finally recognized that there’re a plenty customers. Before you spend a plenty of time and money creating a package you cannot allow or can make you need to decide what is available at the affordable price and in the suitable quantities.

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops | MindSways - April 2013
SEEING THROUGH ILLUSIONS
Is this email not displaying correctly?
View it in your browser.
Hi,
The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop is a one day, intimate learning experience where we will guide you through a number of principles. You'll learn the Principles of Mind Magic, the Framework of Mind Magic; we'll Explore Why and How Illusions Work, look at the role of MMI's (Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction & Insight) and Thinking Fallacies. Most importantly though, you will Learn And Be Given a Number of Easy and Practical Tricks (with supporting materials) that you can take away with you and start performing and adding to your delivery the next day.
We wanted to make sure you'd get the best out of the one day experience, so we've packed months of one-to-one training sessions and years of our own experience into the day. The themes of the day are Innovation & Creativity, Practically Applied Advantage, Emotional Engagement, Show, Not Tell and the importance of Mystery, Magic and Surprise. For more information on the day, please see mindsways.com/SMS/ and for a brochure of what the day is about, please look at mindsways.com/SMS/#Brochure
TAPPING INTO POPULARITY
On the day we talk about the enduring allure and popularity that mystery, the paranormal and Mind Magic has. Magic is never far out of the popular sphere with Derren Brown filling theatres and drawing large TV audiences. Part of the popularity is down to the fact that it "May just be real". This is also shown by the new blockbuster film, Now You See Me.
This new film is based on the premise of what if the impossible was real. Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher, the film shows the hold that magic has over our imagination. It also gives us an insight into how popular magic is, and a fascinating glimpse into what it would be like to have real powers. To see more about the film, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/#NowYouSeeMe.
Today, to stand out we need the personal touch and the sleight of mind set workshop is about tapping into this popularity of mind magic and adding value through your delivery and the personal touch.
Our aim is to make day informative, entertaining and practical for you. People have attended for many reasons including:
Curiosity (just how was that done)
Learning something new
Interest in how the mind works
Adding variety to enliven their presentations
New and different approaches
Something to impress others with
An increased reputation
A channel for their passion and fascination
Wider perspectives and experiences
The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of the tricks have on people, tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the personal touch and firing off the silent questions. On the workshops and in the SNT kit, we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies.
By delivering these tricks, you can evoke the making of the extraordinary. By combining the tricks with the energy of your words, your message and your personality, you make yourself stand out, stimulate fascination and create interest in you. This is when the real magic happens, in the theatre of the minds.
In communications theory the saying "it's not us, its them" has great importance. Likewise in Psychological Artistry and in our Sleight of Mind Set workshops these take on a very important role. For more on this, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/
THE FEEDBACK - What People Say
The feedback from the workshops have been extremely positive, with people (from last weeks workshops) saying things like:
"It really was most enjoyable and enlightening"
"Fantastic day... a great eye opener!"
"Another great course, with plenty to think about and over"
The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year. The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotherapists, trainers etc.
This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies. As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different - NO Really Different". For more on what people say, please see mindsways.com/WPS/
THEATRE OF THE MIND - Tricks on 3 Levels
On the workshop we uncover tricks, look at making a trick into an effect and making the effect into a piece that works for you. The three levels we work on are:
Effect of a trick - triggers "how did you do that?"
Analysis of a trick - triggers "why does this trick work? Why does the effect happen?"
Practicality of a trick - explores how you can use the tricks
This involves using a combination of Psychology, Neuroscience, Smart Thinking and the ideas, tools and techniques from Mind Magic. The principles and lessons are useful in understanding our belief systems, how we think and act. It is in our minds that we experience emotions, thoughts and actions. These are in turn determined by the silent questions we ask ourselves.
We use Mind Magic effects as a reflection of how the mind works. We use the 3 levels above as a lens to increase our understanding how our minds control our actions, emotions and thoughts. It is through this that our minds tell us stories that justify our actions. For more on this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/
WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?
Psychological Artistry is the blending of the science of how we think, and the combination of:
Creating connection, rapport and emotions
Telling stories
Gaining and holding attention
Producing insights
Displaying human nature
Cognition
Show, Not Tell
Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction and Insights (MMI's)
to create a method for successful communication. Therefore, Psychological Artistry is where science and art meet Mind Magic.
