Small-World Networks
The brain is a self-organizing network with ‘small-world’ properties. This means it has highly clustered local connections for specialization and long-range shortcuts for efficient integration. This network structure allows for deep intelligence, flexible thinking, and even resilience against disease. Recent research confirms that small-world networks are central to brain function [*], shaping everything from cognition Read the full article…
Stretching towards Limits
Stretching is more than a physical act. It’s a deep dialogue between body and mind, an exploration of limits that are never quite as fixed as they seem.
