Dan shared his understanding about the importance of empathy and how it
works in the brain thought mirror neurons. "When kids are able to watch
an interaction that's empathic, empathy isn't just being taught; it's
being demonstrated," Talking about the importance of empathic
attunement, Dan says, "When we attune with others we allow our own
internal state to shift, to come to resonate with the inner world of
another. This resonance is at the heart of the important sense of
“feeling felt” that emerges in close relationships. Children need
attunement to feel secure and to develop well, and throughout our lives
we need attunement to feel close and connected." Sub Conference:

This interactive talk will examine two major questions:
What is the mind? and How can we create a healthy mind? We'll examine
the interactions among the mind, the brain, and human relationships and
explore ways to create a healthy mind, an integrated brain, and mindful,
empathic relationships.
Daniel is a child psychiatrist, educator, and author of Mindsight, The
Mindful Brain,
Parenting from the Inside Out, and The Developing Mind. He is the
Founding Editor of
the Norton Professional Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology,
co-director of the UCLA
Mindful Awareness Research Center, and executive director of the

Personal Transformation
presented by Dr. Dan Siegel
April 22, 2009
As part of the Google Personal Growth Series, Google University recently
invited Dan Siegel to address two crucial questions: What is the mind?
and How can we create a healthy mind? In his talk, Dr. Siegel examines
and explores ways to create a healthy mind, an integrated brain, and
mindful, empathic relationships.

Neurological Basis of Behavior, the Mind, the Brain and Human
Relationships
At the Garrison Institute's 2011 Climate, Mind and Behavior Symposium,
Dr. Dan Siegel of the Mindsight Institute discusses the neurological
basis of behavior, the mind, the brain and human relationships. Dr.
Siegel puts forth a method of expanding the sense of identity so as to
include other people, species and the planet and proposes the concept of
"we maps." He recommends using the notion of health as a means of
linking individual, community and planetary wellbeing.
Overview - works in an integrative way - interpersonal
neurobiology
Mirror neurons works with different parts of the
brain
more than just imitate behavior
they simulate internal states - [intentions,
motivations, etc]
this is the basis of empathy - this is how you feel
another's feelings, and even going beyond the resonance - you
understand what's going on inside of the other persons mental world.
see someone lift a cup to drink. you feel the
full state of the other, their thirst, you actually feel their
thirst.
