Long before language, we learn the world through our mother’s love.

Neuroscience confirms that caring shapes the brain. Resilience, empathy, attachment, the capacity to hope and love, all built quietly, over years of presence.

Mothers don’t just raise children. They shape the emotional future of humanity.

To my own beloved mother, and to mothers everywhere, thank you for the work no algorithm, no machine, and no technology will ever replace.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Des scientifiques viennent de découvrir quelque chose de fou sur la méditation! 🧠✨

En scannant le cerveau de méditants en temps réel, des chercheurs de Harvard ont révélé qu'il suffit de 2 à 3 minutes de méditation pour voir des changements dans l'activité cérébrale, même si vous n'avez jamais médité de votre vie!

🔬 Ce qu'ils ont fait:
Ils ont utilisé des scanners EEG pour observer ce qui se passe dans le cerveau pendant une méditation basée sur l'observation du souffle.
Trois groupes testés: débutants absolus, pratiquants novices et experts.

💡 Ce qu'ils ont trouvé:

- Après 2-3 min: changements mesurables dans les ondes cérébrales
- À 7 minutes: pic d'effets = état de "relaxation vigilante" (calme + concentration maximale)
- Ça marche pour tout le monde, débutant ou non!

Les ondes alpha et thêta (relaxation profonde) augmentent, tandis que les ondes bêta (stress, anxiété) diminuent.

Le message des chercheurs? Même 5 à 10 minutes par jour suffisent pour profiter des bienfaits de la méditation sur le stress, l'anxiété et la concentration.

Plus d'excuse pour ne pas s’y mettre 🤭!

ps: nos méditations du jour commencent justement à 8 min… parfait, non?

Wetenschappers hebben opnieuw iets interessants ontdekt over meditatie! 🧠✨

Door de hersenen van mediterende mensen in real-time te scannen, hebben onderzoekers van Harvard (waaronder ) ontdekt dat 2 tot 3 minuten mediteren al voldoende is om veranderingen in de hersenactiviteit te zien, zelfs als je nog nooit van je leven hebt gemediteerd!

🔬 Wat ze deden: ze gebruikten EEG-scanners om te observeren wat er in de hersenen gebeurt tijdens een meditatie waarbij deelnemers hun ademhaling observeerden. De deelnemers werden opgesplitst in 3 groepen: absolute beginners, mensen met weinig ervaring en experts.

💡 Wat ze ontdekten:
- Na 2-3 min: meetbare veranderingen in de hersengolven
- Bij 7 minuten: piek van de effecten met een toestand van "waakzame ontspanning" (rust + maximale concentratie)
- Het werkt voor iedereen, beginner of niet!

De alfa- en theta-golven (diepe ontspanning) nemen toe, terwijl de bèta-golven (stress, angst) afnemen.

De boodschap van de onderzoekers? Zelfs 5 tot 10 minuten per dag is voldoende om te profiteren van de voordelen van meditatie op stress, angst en concentratie.

Geen excuus meer om niet te beginnen 🤭!

Dank aan voor dit interessante onderzoek!

ps: onze meditaties van de dag beginnen trouwens net bij 8 min... perfect, toch?

Un viaggio ai confini della coscienza.

Su la Repubblica, il neurologo di fama mondiale Steven Laureys racconta il suo libro "Il confine. Mente, scienza e spirito davanti al mistero della vita oltre la morte", in cui esplora le esperienze di pre-morte come stati di coscienza estremi, aprendo nuove prospettive tra neuroscienza e vissuto umano.

La presenza del Prof. Laureys nel Consiglio di Amministrazione di FERB rappresenta un elemento di grande valore e testimonia l’elevato profilo della direzione scientifica della Fondazione.
