Greetings
Greetings, folks;
I am a long-term friend of Cassox. Some of you met me at Grindfest 02. Obviously I am new to the forum, and some of the personalities here. My specialty is somewhat different than most of you. I am a social sciences researcher (psych, anth, soc, etc.) and currently maintain a human subjects research certification through CITI. I work in the mental health field, currently, and have a background in Tattooing, piercing, and body modification. I hope to get to know each of you that I didn't meet at grindfest. For those I did meet... I can only say it was a great pleasure. This was one of the best weekends I've had in some time.
One particular area of interest I have in the grinder community and biohacking, is utilizing mixed methods research to examine cognitive benefits and other factors related to biohacking. I hope to contribute in some ways to aiding and assisting some streamlining of the research process and scientific method, for those of you who might be interested. Otherwise.... hello!
Best,
~J

Thanks for the warm greeting. I gave the thread a quick scan, and I am wondering a few things... from my knowledge, flow state is closely associated with cell memory, muscle memory, and dissociation during complex, physical activities, such as performance art. I am wondering what you might think the tie is between flow state and sleep, as to me, they seem to be two very distinct phenomena. I will fish around for some slides for you. I followed a group of poi spinners for a summer doing a mixed methods study examining flow state and interpersonal belongingness, to examine what aspects of belonging to such a community of practice might benefit each individual. I had some pretty good results. Also, I am not sure if I can post the slides here, so I will just screencap some of the more relevant ones when I find them.
My thinking was that I was entering flow state when I sleep, cause I tend to come up with my better songs when I am really low or when asleep and seldomly when I play music others wrote. As a artist I love this, as a person I hate this.... My goal when that thred started was to find away to enhance it and suppress it at different times, over time it has made me think about the connection between brain states and learning. Leading me again to flow state. May I ask what you think that is? I will look at your power point when I am in front of a computer I keep dragging crap around on my phone.
Sincerely,

When I say "assemblage" it's just my way of saying sleep dependent learning and memory consolidation. I'd recommend checking out that article, and some other sources, such as this article.
You have to pay to get into the main database for the second article, so just read the text from the popup window.
So what I am thinking, is that you may be describing either memory consolidation, or where flow state might be activated before rem sleep to improve memory consolidation. Not sure. Definitely worth thinking about.
