(2/100 days of productivity)

Today is Father’s Day in Portugal, so I’m having dinner with my dad and my siblings. I also bought him a book!

At work I felt a bit overwhelmed… I’ve been like this lately… But I managed to work on my code and do start some of my data analysis!

I need to write my PhD proposal, but I mostly look at my google docs page and cannot add anything 🙃

TMAGP 22 analysis: The sea is Mercury

I reread the transcript for TMAGP 22 (Mixed Signals) for research purposes, and found some interesting symbolism in the incident.

I've been looking deeper into Carl Jung's psychology because of how closely he links the human psyche with alchemical principles and symbology. In this incident, we get Hans Berger (who developed EEG) writing to Richard Caton (whose work Berger based his theory on) about the first patient he demonstrated the concept on. In doing so, he inadvertently discovers something that's stuck deep inside the brain and longing to get out. (I love alternative history.)

Before Berger has an epiphany and modifies his equipment to be able to capture this emergent consciousness, he has a dream of a deep, dark ocean full of secrets, and the electric brainwaves floating on top of it, never meeting it. This is unapologetic Jungian symbolism for the conscious mind (the electricity) and the vast personal and collective unconscious (the sea) filled with all human experiences, especially the ones we don't want to face. An ocean is specifically the metaphor Jung uses the most, and he ties it to the alchemical Mercury, which he considers the spirit that unifies everything and holds within it the entire potential of humanity (both past and future). It's also very Jungian that this all came to the scientist in a dream.

I think the ocean symbolism that many in the fandom seem to have attributed to a new fear (the Deep) is actually all symbolic of Mercury.

Jung adopted the concept of the Magnum Opus and applied it to the process of psychological individuation, by which he meant reconciling different aspects of the human psyche into a unified self. This process required one to dissolve the conscious ego into a black mass of chaos and descend into the unconscious, accept and reconcile with what you find in there, and emerge as a new, whole being.

This is the relevant part (at least for this episode): In the unconscious, the person would meet the representation of the opposite sex in themself, Anima (the feminine principle) in men and Animus (the masculine principle) in women. These terms carry some unsurprisingly sexist connotations, but humor me. Animus comes in the form of a variety of traditionally masculine qualities, most notably activeness (or sometimes aggression) and rationality (Logos). Anima is associated with traditionally feminine qualities like sensitivity and the desire to connect (Eros).

In the incident, the patient seems to be a very simple guy with simple, material needs such as food, drink and toilet. Meanwhile, the voice trapped deep within him is screaming for connection and acknowledgment. We are hearing Herr Schmidt's Anima. He has obviously not integrated Anima into his self, which is why his needs are so... "rational". What's even more interesting is that the rationally minded scientist Berger can't outright decipher or "hear" the screams, but his wife, who was always the "better communicator", can hear them.

TLDR; I think the pervasive sea symbolism points both to the principle of Mercury (as per my Tria Prima theory) and, interestingly, to the Jungian idea of the collective unconscious. I'm not sure if Animus and Anima are universal principles at work, or if they exist here because people like Jung have planted them into people's minds (Jung is not the first, the concepts align pretty well with yin and yang and other similar dualities).

Neuroscience in Manifestation: Creating Reality

The human brain is a complex machine that interprets electrical and chemical signals to create our perception of the world. All stimuli we receive—visual, auditory, tactile—are processed by the brain, which converts them into a coherent experience. This process is so sophisticated that we often forget that we are not experiencing the world directly but rather an interpretation created by our brain.

EEGs: Mapping Brain Activity - Electroencephalography (EEG) is a tool that measures the brain's electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp. EEG reveals different brain wave patterns associated with various mental states. When we are focused, relaxed, or stressed, the patterns of brain waves change. These patterns can indicate how our thoughts and intentions are influencing our experience.

Alpha Waves: Associated with relaxation and creativity. When we are immersed in positive thoughts and visualizing our intentions, alpha waves may predominate, suggesting a productive mental state for manifestation.

Beta Waves: Linked to concentration and active thinking. When we are focused on our goals, increased beta waves can reflect a mental state geared toward achievement.

Associative Networks (ANs) - the brain are complex systems of neurons that work together to process and integrate sensory, cognitive, and emotional information. They are crucial for forming associations between different stimuli and experiences, allowing us to create memories, learn, and adapt our behavior. A critical aspect of ANs is the Reticular Activating System (RAS), which plays a central role in modulating our attention and perception of reality.

Reticular Activating System (RAS) - The RAS is a network of neurons located in the brainstem, responsible for filtering the sensory information we receive at every moment and determining which of it is relevant for our conscious attention. It acts as a "filter" that decides which stimuli we should focus on and which we can ignore, based on our expectations, interests, and past experiences.

How the RAS Influences Perception of Reality? When we focus our attention on a particular subject or goal, the RAS adjusts our perception to highlight information and stimuli related to that focus. This mechanism explains why, when we are interested in something specific, we start to notice more frequently related things in our environment. This phenomenon is known as "confirmation bias" and is a direct manifestation of how ANs function.

For example, if you are thinking about buying a new car and have a specific model in mind, you are likely to start noticing that car model everywhere. Your RAS is actively filtering sensory information to prioritize stimuli that match your current interest.

Neuroplasticity - One of the most fascinating aspects of the brain is its plasticity—the ability to reorganize and form new neural connections throughout life. Studies show that our thoughts and experiences can literally reshape the brain's structure. For example, regularly practicing meditation can increase the gray matter density in areas associated with self-awareness and emotional regulation.

This plasticity suggests that by changing our thought patterns, we can alter how our brain perceives and interacts with the world, thus influencing our subjective reality. When we intentionally focus on something, we are strengthening the neural connections associated with that focus, which in turn increases the likelihood of perceiving and remembering relevant information.

Effect of Attention on Manifesting Reality - Focused attention can, therefore, shape our experience of reality in several ways:

Information Filtering: The RAS filters sensory information to highlight relevant stimuli, making us more aware of opportunities and resources that support our goals.

Strengthening Neural Connections: Repetition of focused thoughts and visualizations strengthens neural connections, increasing the likelihood of perceiving and acting in alignment with our interests.

Confirmation Bias: Our brain seeks to confirm our expectations and beliefs, making it more likely that we notice and remember events that align with them.

Associative Networks (ANs), especially through the Reticular Activating System (RAS), play a fundamental role in how we perceive and interact with the world. By focusing our attention on specific goals and interests, we can train our brain to highlight relevant information and shape our reality according to our desires and intentions. By understanding and applying these neuroscientific principles, we can enhance our ability to manifest the reality we desire.

Chanel’s ECT helmet, or her “metal bonnet”

The first drawing is from 2023. The second drawing was made recently.

(Updated information and added secondary image on 5/28/24)

Despite her considerable physical strength, Chanel becomes entirely incapacitated during catatonic episodes. Her biggest vulnerability lies in bouts of catatonic stupor, likely originating from an inherited condition passed down from her mother. Catatonia is usually a comorbid disorder, so it exists along a main cognitive or neurological disorder. However, it is unknown which mental disorder Chanel may have given her upbringing. This psychomotor disorder is believed to result from disruptions or imbalances in neurotransmitter pathways, manifesting as symptoms like stupor, mutism, rigidity, waxy flexibility, posturing, and negativism. In extreme instances, it can lead to death, either due to internal complications, known as malignant catatonia, or the inability to meet essential needs because of immobility.

To ensure Chanel's effectiveness in her duties, Sibyl built Chanel a specialized “metal bonnet”, or ECT helmet, which was designed to automatically execute ECT when neurological chemical imbalances were detected ahead of time. She considered the fact that ECT has an 80% to 100% success rate in addressing catatonia and related conditions. This treatment works by inducing minor seizures to recalibrate the brain's chemistry. The helmet emits low-frequency electrical currents to regulate her brain chemistry, preventing such episodes. (ECT is typically given under anesthesia and professional oversight, but, in this fictional instance, Chanel's insensitivity to pain meant one concern was taken off the list) Given its electrical nature, it requires consistent power sources. Sibyl developed this helmet, which is powered by blood as part of their arrangement. In exchange for sustenance, Chanel aids Sibyl by procuring intelligence and bodies from her encounters with traffickers. The helmet is securely bolted into her neck and, although removable, should not be taken off for long periods because the bolts and metal sockets in her neck enable the auto-moderated procedure. These bolts serve as both anchors and receivers, processing signals from electrodes attached to the sockets that contact her neck. These synaptic transmissions occur at the junction where the bolts connect to the sockets, similar to neurons.

The electrodes detect abnormal brain activity, similar to an EEG, and send a small electrical impulse to the bolts. These bolts then relay the information to the control panel at the back of the helmet, which assesses whether conditions are optimal for the procedure. It checks parameters such as the presence of sufficient amounts of non-converted blood, insufficient amounts of non-converted blood, sufficient amounts of fuel-converted blood, or insufficient amounts of fuel-converted blood.

If conditions are safe and the helmet has enough fuel, the control unit sends a signal back to the bolts, which then reaches the metal neck guard near the voice box. This triggers the voice box to alert Chanel of its needs in Morse code. If blood or blood fuel is lacking, the helmet will notify Chanel that it needs her to collect more blood for conversion into fuel to perform the electrocution. If the blood supply is ample but fuel is insufficient, it will inform Chanel that it will begin the conversion process and to station herself somewhere secure so that any neural impulses don’t interfere with the helmet's processes. The remainder of the fuel will be used to catalyze the conversion of blood into fuel.

If conditions are optimal, the voice box gives Chanel a heads-up in Morse code about the number of minutes before a cycle starts, allowing her to find a secure location before a seizure occurs. The helmet can be powered by various fuels, including coagula blood, which can generate electricity through a bioelectrochemical process, or direct contact with an electric outlet. The coagula blood method is preferred due to the mobility it offers compared to stationary electric outlets.

Additionally, her piercings are not merely decorative but are referred to as "modulating electrodes" or "resistive electrodes." Their function is to regulate the electrical signals, preventing excessive current from reaching sensitive areas and ensuring a safe and effective ECT process. These modulating electrodes use materials with specific resistive properties to control the flow of electricity, much like variable resistors in electronic circuits, ensuring precise modulation and safety.

Can highly intelligent people have multiple MBTI types?

Quora Post:

(For this answer, I’ll be referring to Carl Jung’s theory, and not Myer-Briggs’. A crash-course on Cognitive functions and Cognitive function stacks here;

Timothy Emmanuel Lim's answer to Can you explain each of the cognitive functions (Fe, Ni, Ti, etc.) in an easy to understand way?,

Timothy Emmanuel Lim's answer to What are the different "stacks" of the Myers-Briggs personality types and what do they mean?

Which will catch you up to speed enough to understand the slight jargon used here.)

Originally, a few months ago, I would’ve said the question’s premise is false, but after people whom I know stated that I felt a lot like an INTP (which I found out the perpetrator was an unusually high Ti), I researched and noted that people of a higher IQ also tend to fit less riveted into their type analysis than people of an average IQ. It felt as if the more intelligent you are, the more versatile and encompassing your Jungian type is.

The answer to this question is actually more complicated than a simple ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, in which I’ll have to elaborate on with quite a bit of background information.

By definition, the answer is No. You can only be a single type, because the type you’re defined by is the single thought process you use the most; using the 8 cognitive functions in a certain order.

Everyone, regardless of type — possess all 8 cognitive functions. It’s just to what degree is it honed, and how much can or do we use

However, depending on the interpretation of this question; seeing that the 16 types are actually thought-processes and “states” of thinking, all of us can possibly access all 16 variations of orders of these “thought-processes”. On occasion, we can act as any of the 16 types.

But this information isn’t substantial enough as to what or how and people possess two or more modes of thinking.

Dario Nardi’s research shows that the 8 Jungian functions can coincide with people’s cognition and regional flares of the brain. He did this by performing Electroencephalogram (EEG) scans on the sample 16 types, as shown here.

Several times, two or more regions fire together, simultaneously, from once every second up to once hourly. Eg. Whenever somebody listens in a conversation;

Two key auditory regions fire in sync.

The person is keenly attentive to both verbal content (speech, literal meaning) as well as the tone of the voice, never one or the other.

There is a neural connection between both lit regions which will engage in an electrical signal exchange.

Likewise, these charts exemplify and depict precisely which regions in the cranium of each Jungian type lights up most commonly. And because certain types extensively use specific parts of the brain, these parts are likely to be developed more than the rest of the brain.

~ Timothy Emmanuel Lim's answer to Would a highly gifted INTP make more connections in his brain while a similarly gifted INTJ would rely more on the speed of neural connections?

Which essentially translated to; Each cognitive function is tied in with a certain associated region of the brain.

(And like I’ve stated in the aforementioned answer;) Gifted/high IQ individuals tend to be of 1 and/or 2 of these characteristics;

Gifted individuals exhibit an even stronger (and developed) use of their already extensive used regions of the brain, or;

The ability to tap into more regions of the brain than others.

Because gifted individuals have certain regions of the brain, either more developed than others, or have more regions developed overall.

Some gifted individuals tend to be region-centric/focused while others tend to be more generally/overall developed.

So, what does this mean?

By extension; the higher your IQ, the more likely developed your cognitive functions are as a person — which means the more intense/focal you can afford to be in a certain way of thinking.

Let’s draw an analogy:

Life is like a Role-Playing-Game.

Each of us are given a certain amount of points from birth. Some of us are (unfairly) given more, some of us are given less.

When we are born (or creating our character), we are allowed to allocate our bank of points to certain allocated skills to start off with. We also start with certain classes which determine our specializations.

It may look something like this;

(Taken from Ragnarok M: Eternal Love)

As you can see, since the birth of the character, every time this player levels up and grows, the player is allowed to allocate points to whichever skill (s)he chooses, just like in the interface.

You and your friend create a character each.

Let’s say you’re a person who has been given the privilege of starting with extra points. Your friend, however, doesn’t. You start off with 160 points and your friend starts off with 100. Both of you choose different classes.

Both of you allocate your points to 8 different skills accordingly. Your skillsets at the end of allocation looks like this;

Class: Berserker

Str: 45

Agi: 35

Ski: 10

Vit: 25

Int: 5

End: 30

Dex: 5

Luk: 5

In this case, you noted that you wanted to make your class slightly more “balanced”, so you redistributed your points from your Strength level and funneled it into your Agility, pumping it up much higher.

And your friend’s;

Class: Thief

Str: 10

Agi: 30

Ski: 20

Vit: 10

Int: 15

End: 5

Dex: 5

Luk: 5

And as you can see; both you and your friend chose radically different classes, with radically different specializations. An average Thief may outclass an average Berserker in terms of agility, but because you were “blessed” with a stronger starting character, your Berserker’s agility exceeds that of your friend’s agility, which is actually his supposed “strength”.

In this scenario; MBTI types are like your classes, points allocated determine proficiency, and our cognitive functions are our skills.

People who are extensively gifted tend to have their cognitive functions more honed overall compared to the average person.

And like the RPG analogy; some people tend to have better grasp over certain cognitive functions (that aren’t in their defined type) than others (who do).

And when coming across a really intelligent person, they may seem to display stronger feats of certain functions eg. Si, over the typical ISTJ, which this intelligent person may give you the impression that he’s an Si-dominant in that moment. What shocks you however, is how this Si-dominant intelligent person, isn’t actually an Si dominant, but a Ne-dominant; a really gifted ENTP.

Or another gifted person who is somehow, all-rounded in most cognitive functions — hence this person can switch back-and-forth into many different states, which may strike you off as someone who has multiple personalities.

However, no matter how gifted — one will have a go-to default state, like in an RPG where someone has a default class, which still remains true, no matter the deviation or special honing of very specific abilities.

So an average INTP in an EEG may look like this;

But an extensively gifted INTP’s EEG may look this;

Which upon close inspection, looks like it covers overlapping areas of;

An average INTJ;

Thus, the gifted INTP will display characteristics that an INTJ often does, too.

This proverbial INTP doesn’t just have a very high Ti and Ne, but probably a very high Ni and Te as well, making him a very hybrid thinker.

So, to answer your question;

Can highly intelligent people have multiple MBTI types?

By definition, no. But by extension of cognitive function use; a highly intelligent person can behave as multiple types.

Because highly intelligent people have extraordinarily developed brains; which certain further-developed regions can easily correspond to certain cognitive functions.

This is why you’ll sometimes find a highly developed Thinker type seem more like a more mature feeler than a less developed Feeler type, etc.

And sometimes, certain high IQ individuals may identify (in Jung, not so much MBTI) as more of an eg. xNxP than a straight INTP or ENFP etc.

Because Jungian theory is the measurement of what kind of cognitive functions you use more; not how much you use them, as compared to others.

Conclusion: Some highly intelligent people can access more thought-processes intensively than others — which is why they may seem like they have more than 1 MBTI type.

Some highly intelligent people may also be more specialized in their cognitive functions and cranial regions, so not all highly intelligent people may be all-rounders per se.

How do you find being a psych research student? I’m currently taking a psychological stats class and I’m doing a term long research report!

It’s… lonely. And extremely rewarding at times. But mostly lonely and exhausting.

It’s a huge change from the taught courses I’ve done before. There, I always knew other students were working on the same thing as me. And though I never asked anyone for help, it was just comforting to know that I wasn’t alone with whatever thing I was working on, and that there were other people caring about it in the same way I was.

My current project is a very different story. Basically, I did a stupid, and convinced my supervisor to let me do my project on something nobody else does in our department. Everybody’s lack of interest, understanding, or ability to help has driven me completely mad over this past year. Yes, I did this to myself, but BOY did I underestimate the role of team work in maintaining sanity. This is coming from somebody who until this year despised the very idea of group work, btw.

Don’t get me wrong though, it’s extremely cool that I got to spend a whole year focusing on something really niche that I’m deeply interested in (my project is on the role of attention in dream recall). And it’s been fun to teach myself new skills, and realise that I could actually do hard things like EEG signal processing even if I had to take regular cry breaks at the start.

So it’s been a journey with lots of mixed emotions. And lots of procrastination, too, since not having lectures put me in a very uncomfortable position of having to manage my own time, and let’s just say I wasn’t a natural at that.

Anyway, thanks so much for your question! It gave me space to reflect, and right now is a perfect time for that since my thesis is due next Tuesday. What is your report on? I love hearing about others’ research 🧠

I am lost

Starting a project that is completely new to you is super interesting, but there is always that really slow learning period...

I just started a neuro-rehabilitation project, which I think is awesome, but the thing is, I don't know how to do almost anything right now, which is frustrating!!

I studied signal and image processing in college, but didn't really used it for about 4 years. I thought it would be fine and it would be just remembering things... It is nothing like that, because this is so much more specific and I am just completely lost in all of this...

Meditation Healing Process The Validity of Meditation as a Healing Process according to Jovanov Jovanov's (1995) study seeks to legitimize the role of meditation in the healing process by focusing on the activity of brain processes during meditation using special methodology and software. "Subtle EEG changes" are monitored and characterized according to behavioral patterns based on static and dynamic analysis (Jovanov, 1995). By using EEG as a window into "consciousness," the study opens up the door to the possibility of meditation acting as a healing process. The history of EEG as a window onto altered states "is well established" according to Jovanov (1995), although subtle changes are less easy to detect. Nonetheless, subtleties do themselves register in EEG monitoring. Yet, while the relationship between altered states and physiological brain activity appears affirmative, understanding how the relationship works is still relatively unclear, as the exact process used by the brain to intercept information fragments produced by neurons to form cohesive thought perception. Using the engineering approach with Self as "black box," perception acts as a conduit for sensory and extrasensory inputs, and action acts as the conduit for outputs such as thoughts, feelings, actions, etc. Consciousness serves as the central command between perception and action, processing the inputs and delivering the outputs. Because altered states generate different inputs and outputs, Jovanov indicates that either "internal signal generators" inside Consciousness acting as "control loops" or "extrasensory inputs" engaging with perception are a cause of altered action outputs. The main focus of Jovanov's study is how meditation relates to healing processes, as the two signify input-consciousness and action respectively. This is done by monitoring alpha activity, alpha rhythm, theta waves, synchronization, sensory dissociation, transcendent signals, and fast wave activity. The results of this analysis showed that the brain activity of an individual meditating for healing shifted its power spectrum with slower frequencies and symmetrical spatial distribution. Alpha activity decreased and alpha frequency increased. Low-frequency changes that standard EEG analysis would fail to identify was seen by the software developed by Jovanov. All of this indicates that there is a connection between altered states and the psycho-physiology of the healing process. Meditation affects the input (sensory and extrasensory) range of the perception block, and the Consciousness block employs signal generators that affect action-oriented outputs. The role of meditation as a facilitator of altered states is not directly explored in this study, but the affects of meditation are monitored in a select few individuals, whose statistical brain wave patterns suggest low-frequency correspondence between meditation and healing. Thus, this study serves as an initial step into registering the validity of meditation as a healing process by focusing on the brain wave patterns monitored and attributed to meditative acts, whose action outputs are seen, for instance, in both spatial distribution and physical rhythmic jaw movements. The relationship between meditation and healing can be measured using the special software developed by Jovanov, which is set up to detect lower frequency brain waves which are too subtle to be detected by ordinary EEG monitoring. Jovanov's approach is to examine Consciousness as a type of "black box" where meditative inputs interact with signal generators to release action outputs -- essentially healing brain wave patterns, which provide a psycho-physiological benefit to the individual.
