I am doing research on joint attention, which occurs when two or more people are looking at the same thing. This is very important in child development. Usually by the age of about 1, children became aware of looking at the same thing as someone else, which is why children or adults with them point at things and say what it is, like "Dog”. I am trying to find out if people can tell when someone else is looking at the same object, for example an apple, even if they cannot see the other person, as in the diagram. The object can, for example, be placed in an open doorway, with the looker and guesser separated by a wall. In a series of randomised trials, each lasting about 10 seconds, the looker either looks or does not look at the object, and the guesser says whether they think it is being looked at or not.

This is all made easy to do using an app on mobile phones. I am setting up a research group, the Joint Attention Research Group, which is being coordinated by my research assistant Georgia Black, to do research on this phenomenon, and to find out if people can get better at detecting when someone else is looking at the same object with practice. If you have another person you can do this with, like a friend or family member, and would like to take part in this research, please get in touch with Georgia for further details. You can contact her here Georgia Black or email her at jointattention.research@gmail.com

When you hum, you are never alone.
You are entering a living field of vibration that connects all beings.

Your voice doesn’t end at your lips — it travels through your body, into the space around you, and into the shared field we all inhabit.

Every hum is a remembering.
Every tone is a bridge.
Every breath is a thread in the greater song of life.

As we prepare for World Sound Healing Day (Feb 14), we remember this truth:

Your voice is part of the planetary chorus

Join us for World Sound Healing day 14th of February

Trees and plants do exhibit sophisticated communication and resource-sharing behaviors, make adaptive decisions based on environmental cues, practice energy efficiency, and engage in complex social interactions within their ecosystems.
While these processes aren't conscious in the way animals or humans think of them, they are highly effective and integral to the survival and health of plant communities.
HeartMath Institute research team exploring how vital a role they play in our lives. HeartMath Tree Rhythms is a Citizen Scientist Project. Together we hope to bring new awareness to the energetic link between people, nature, and all living systems.

Tree Response to Love: A Non-Local Experiment
Imagine if human love could actually nourish a tree. Could collective love and appreciation ripple across distance and spark a change in nature itself?
A large group of approximately 380 people from around the globe participated in a non-local experiment sending love and appreciation to one of four Sugar Gum Maple trees for 10 minutes each day over 4 consecutive days.
Participants joined a scheduled zoom meeting each day and were guided in a 10-minute heart focused meditation directing love and appreciation to the tree.
During the meditation, a live video of the tree was spotlighted to help participants energetically connect with the tree that was being focused on. The other three nearby trees were the same species, and all of them were planted at the same time, around 25 years ago and served as the controls for the experiment.
The tree receiving the focused love (top black trace below) responded with increased amplitude in the circadian rhythm amplitude after the first day of the experiment, which is a key indicator of a tree’s health.
