“Screen Addiction and Dependence in the 21st Century – What Went Wrong and Why?”
A science-based workshop on interactive screen-based technologies and their effects on our brains and biology.
This full day workshop will walk us through developmental biology, electroencephalographic neuroscience and social psychology, explaining how interactive screen technology got such a hold on our brains and culture by hijacking and piggybacking biological process and human need. Dr. Swingle will explore i-tech use that is integrative (positive advancement) versus interfering (negative unhealthy) demonstrating it is not if we do or don’t use technology that is the problem; it is HOW and WHY…. Including how much, how often,… and how young! –And how it is imperative that we all (re)learn to use i-tech as a complement not an override to our biology. Dr. Mari Swingle will close out the day presenting her groundbreaking research on a new APP SwingleSonic NeuroDelve pairing HRV and sound harmonics and their potential to influence the brain and body to reach higher states of quiet, BrainCalm, attention and memory, FOCUS, and combat sleep disturbance such as insomnia, SLEEP. Not so surprisingly, three classifications most affected by competitive as opposed to complementary technology use.
Please note, Dr. Mari Swingle is not anti-technology, anything but! Her criticism lies not in use, but misuse, and lack of transparency between producer and user in how we integrate and assimilate technologies before we a have any idea of, much less understand, or agree to their broader effects and affects.
This is your opportunity to explore and decide for yourself what aspects of the digital age you want to fully embrace, fully reject, and what just might require a little more research and thought.
