Insights from Long Haulers: Living with Long COVID

A study followed 14 individuals with long COVID, or "long haulers," for three months to understand their experiences. Participants faced a range of symptoms and psychological challenges, often feeling isolated and unsupported. Those with high agency and social support reported better experiences managing long COVID. Agency improved when individuals felt in control of their situation, sought information, followed treatment plans, and engaged in advocacy. Social support from friends, family, and online communities played a crucial role in providing assistance and reducing the burden on individuals. Low agency and low social support resulted in the worst experiences. Health-care professionals should tailor support based on an individual's agency and social support, providing educational materials and connecting them with support groups or counseling.

"Unveiling the Origins of Conscious Awareness: A Groundbreaking Study"

A groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at Florida Atlantic University has shed light on the origins of conscious awareness and purposeful action. Using infants as subjects, the study demonstrated that agency emerges from the relationship between an organism (the baby) and its environment (a mobile). By tethering the baby's foot to the mobile, researchers observed that when the baby recognized its ability to cause motion in the mobile through its movement, it transitioned from spontaneous to intentional behavior, marking the "birth of agency." This research provides quantified observations of the emergence of human agency and offers insights into the coordination dynamics of movement and stillness in conscious awareness.

Babies Reveal Origin of Conscious Awareness

A study conducted by researchers at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) used human infants as subjects to investigate the origins of agency and purposeful action. By tethering an infant's foot to a crib-mounted mobile, the researchers observed the moment when the baby realized they could influence their environment. Using motion capture technology, they recorded the movements of both the infants and the mobile in 3D space, identifying the emergence of agency through coordinative analysis. The findings suggest that agency arises from the coupled relationship between the organism (baby) and the environment (mobile), marking the transition from spontaneous to intentional behavior. This study provides groundbreaking insights into the development of conscious awareness and purpose in human infants.

"Groundbreaking Study Reveals the Source of Conscious Awareness"

A study conducted by Florida Atlantic University (FAU) has shed light on the origins of agency and conscious awareness by observing the behavior of human infants. By tethering an infant's foot to a mobile, researchers found that each foot movement caused the mobile to move, creating a positive feedback loop that highlighted the cause-and-effect relationship between the infant and the mobile. This realization led to a transition from spontaneous to intentional behavior, marked by an abrupt increase in infant movement rate. The study also revealed that agency emerges from the coordinated relationship between the infant and the environment. The findings provide valuable insights into the development of conscious awareness in humans.
