Another insight about brains and behavior has important implications for humans. Studying memory in freely flying bats shows that, unlike in other mammals, the recorded neural sequences were not tied to traditional brain rhythms (termed theta oscillations) but instead synchronized with the bat’s wingbeats.  

This coordination between internal brain dynamics and natural motor rhythms offers a new perspective on how memories and spatial representations may be structured in other species (and ours) during natural behaviors. 

Interestingly, many animals exhibit behaviors at this frequency: Rodents whiskers’ sniff at eight hertz, monkeys’ eyes dart at eight hertz, and excited humans can speak at roughly a rate of 8 hrtz

FLOW:  Having been involved (it seems) in this space FOREVER. . . What stands out to me is less the apparatus/devices/artistry itself and more what it is starting to underscore -- the presence of shared electromes -- & what it represents: fostering more neurologic empowerment care away from traditionally medical/medicinally oriented space and right into our dwellings. Given AI advances in Telemed, pairing artistry and the potential of these types of biofield stim (transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) & electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)) w/better longitudinal monitoring capacity -- will provide clients and clinicians a more accurate way to engage embodied treatment and create a deeper integration of our capacities of awareness, attention, and connection. In a FLOW state (contributed to by art) we are offered a different form of AI: an Ancestral Intelligence -- as the accumulated wisdom carried through generations in story, ritual, symbol, and the deep knowing of the human body. It offers context, meaning, and ethical grounding—qualities that no algorithm can fully replicate. What's more, empirical evidence is showing how micro-neurosyncroniztion can be elicited in the interrelation process of a communal-engaged therapeutic response process over time.  (See bat~human interface examples: where the bats in a study exhibited different brain patterns of awareness with the different researchers they were engaging with, for instance:

As we invent increasingly powerful external technologies, we must be mindful to cultivate our inner technologies—the capacities of awareness, attention, and connection that have guided humanity for millennia.

Tapping the ancient wisdom of primal rhythms in Ancestral Intelligence reminds us that intelligence is not only about what we can create, but how we live, relate, and make meaning together and in the natural world around us. In a world shaped by Artificial Intelligence, it may be this original intelligence that helps ensure our future remains deeply human (even as we do what humans do): innovate.
