Today's guest author is Meagan Baldwin.

Meg is a Bal-A-Vis-X practitioner/trainer, a fierce advocate for her child with a disability, and an educator with 26 years of experience as a public educator in general and special education. She currently facilitates the Reset and Return space, a safe space for students and staff to ready themselves to learn and teach at an urban elementary school in Wichita, Kansas. She also supports teachers with both trauma-informed and restorative practices/ In her private Bal-A-Vis-X studio, she teaches Bal-A-Vis-X exercises to both children and adults with varying degrees of both social and cognitive challenges.

Balance Auditory Vision Exercises is a series of about 300 exercises created by Bill Hubert, a long-time American educator, that are deeply rooted in rhythm and based on precise physical techniques that anyone can learn and implement with their students and clients immediately.

It was very early in the school year, and I was beginning to know and build relationships with my small group of 5th-grade special education students. Caleb arrived to class each day with his quiet, reserved demeanor, always ready to please, but participation in academics had always been difficult. He struggled to read, and verbal communication was difficult as the right words didn't come to him quickly. Caleb didn't become outwardly frustrated when academics got difficult; he would go with the flow and deal with what came next the best he could.

A few days into the new school year, I introduced BAVX to Caleb's small group, and he became curious. He intently watched the exercise demonstration intently and then quickly performed the exercise as modeled. Caleb has a keen eye for figuring out what to look at when learning a new exercise. Over time, Caleb became confident and proficient in performing the exercises and teaching them to his classmates.

On a warm spring day, Caleb came to class with a flier printed on goldenrod paper. He smiled from ear to ear when he handed it to me and said, "There's going to be a talent show....and we've got a talent." I instantly knew what he meant. Caleb took the lead and signed us up as a group act for the annual end-of-the-school-year talent show. For the next few weeks, Caleb led his classmates and me through a series of individual, partner, and group exercises.

On the last day of school, Caleb led a group of his classmates to a standing ovation in a hot, humid school gym. The other students and staff watched with curiosity and awe as the rhythm of the sandbags morphed into the slow, steady beat of the racquetballs. I was merely a cheerleader that day. After the performance, Caleb's mother caught me in the hallway and, with tears in her eyes, told me that Bal-A-Vis-X had changed Caleb from an "I can't kid into an I can kid." That's all I needed to know to realize that this program is about more than tossing sandbags and bouncing racquetballs.

Bal-A-Vis-X is School and Classroom Friendly

Running, walking, swimming, and biking all provide rhythmic, repetitive movement. Bal-A-Vis-X is an intentional form of patterned, repetitive, rhythmic movement that is based on precise physical techniques that anyone can learn. The BAVX exercises can be implemented in individual, small-group, and large-group configurations. The exercises become increasingly more challenging in small incremental steps.

Bal-A-Vis-X Supports Trauma Informed Care

By providing a safe, rhythmic, predictable, relational sensory experience. The exercises incrementally become more challenging, allowing the participants to experience predictable, moderate, and controllable amounts of stress, which leads to resilience.

Bal-A-Vis-X supports Social Emotional Learning

Social Emotional Learning in schools is often limited to a series of lessons included in a curriculum. These lessons are valuable and much needed. #BalAVisX provides a platform for students to physically practice the social-emotional competencies that have been identified by CASEL. The competencies include self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness.

Bal-A-Vis-X Supports Executive Function Skills

According to the Center for the Developing Child at Harvard University, executive function and self-regulation skills depend on three types of brain function: working memory, mental flexibility, and self-control. Learners who demonstrate competency in these skills are often more ready to learn, leading to higher academic achievement. The exercises in the Bal-A-Vis-X program require students to physically practice these skills with a partner, small group, and large group configurations.

#BalAVisX has a built in element of problem solving that also includes patterned, repetitive, rhythmic movement that calms the stress response giving folks access to their cortex, the area of the brain where problem solving takes place. This is interesting research.

“Neuron populations within one brain were activated simultaneously with similar neuron populations in the other brain when the participants cooperated to complete the task, as if the two brains functioned together as a single system for creative problem-solving,"

Humans are social creatures. But what leads to them being this way?
To fully understand how the brain gives rise to social behaviors, we need to investigate it during social encounters. Moreover, we need to analyze not only the internal operations of one brain during social activities but also the dynamic interplay between multiple brains engaged in the same activity.

This emerging research field is referred to as "second-person neuroscience" and employs hyperscanning (the simultaneous recording of the activity of multiple brains) as the signature technique.

The earliest hyperscanning studies used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to analyze brain synchronization between participants engaged in experimentally controlled motor tasks. These tasks, however, were not very natural, and the brain synchronization emerging from them may simply have been the result of simultaneous motor action.

In contrast, recent hyperscanning studies employ more natural and free settings for the shared tasks, allowing for nonstructured communication and creative objectives. While this produces more interesting results, a greater effort is needed to extract specific social behaviors from the video footages and link them to particular brain synchronization patterns. In turn, this limits analysis to short-term social interactions, which represent a tiny subset of possible human social behaviors.

Now, a research team led by Yasuyo Minagawa of Keio University, Japan, has worked out an elegant solution to this problem. In their paper published in Neurophotonics, the team presented a novel approach in which they used computer vision techniques to automatically extract social behaviors (or "events") during a natural two-participant experimental task.

Next, they used an event-related generalized linear model to determine which social behaviors could be linked to particular types of neuronal synchrony, both between brains and within each participant's brain.

Each pair of participants (39 pairs in total) engaged in a natural, cooperative, and creative task: the design and furnishing of a digital room in a computer game. They were allowed to communicate freely to create a room that satisfied both.

The participants also completed the same task alone as the researchers sought to compare between-brain synchronizations (BBSs) and within-brain synchronizations (WBSs) during the individual and cooperative tasks.

The social behavior that the team focused on during the tasks was eye gaze, that is, whether the participants directed their gaze at the other's face. They automatically extracted this behavior from the video footage using an open-source software, which made the data analysis easier.

One of the most intriguing findings of the study was that, during cooperative play, there was a strong BBS among the superior and middle temporal regions and specific parts of the prefrontal cortex in the right hemisphere, but little WBS in comparison.

Moreover, the BBS synchronization was strongest when one of the participants raised their gaze to look at the other. Interestingly, the situation reversed during individual play, showing increased WBS within the same regions.

According to Minagawa, these results agree with the idea that our brains work as a "two-in-one system" during certain social interactions.

"Neuron populations within one brain were activated simultaneously with similar neuron populations in the other brain when the participants cooperated to complete the task, as if the two brains functioned together as a single system for creative problem-solving," she explains.

"These phenomena are consistent with the notion of a 'we-mode,' in which interacting agents share their minds in a collective fashion and facilitate interaction by accelerating access to the other's cognition."

Overall, this study provides evidence hinting at the remarkable capability of the human brain to understand and synchronize with others' when the situation calls for it. Minagawa has high hopes for the experimental strategy used and envisions further research with other types of social cues and behaviors in various types of tasks.

"We could apply our method to more detailed social behaviors in future analyses, such as facial expressions and verbal communication. Our analytical approach can provide insights and avenues for future research in interactive social neuroscience," she concludes. Of course, new techniques that can effectively record and process more complex social behaviors will be needed.

While there is certainly much work left to do, ingenious applications of technologies like computer vision and statistical models can enable a better understanding of how our brains (co)operate during social activities.

" Two-in-one system and behavior-specific brain synchrony during goal-free cooperative creation: an analytical approach combining automated behavioral classification and the event-related generalized linear model" by Xu et al. Neurophotonics
Abstract Two-in-one system and behavior-specific brain synchrony during goal-free cooperative creation: an analytical approach combining automated behavioral classification and the event-related generalized linear model
Significance

In hyperscanning studies of natural social interactions, behavioral coding is usually necessary to extract brain synchronizations specific to a particular behavior. The more natural the task is, the heavier the coding effort is. We propose an analytical approach to resolve this dilemma, providing insights and avenues for future work in interactive social neuroscience.

Aim

The objective is to solve the laborious coding problem for naturalistic hyperscanning by proposing a convenient analytical approach and to uncover brain synchronization mechanisms related to human cooperative behavior when the ultimate goal is highly free and creative.

Approach

This functional near-infrared spectroscopy hyperscanning study challenged a cooperative goal-free creative game in which dyads can communicate freely without time constraints and developed an analytical approach that combines automated behavior classification (computer vision) with a generalized linear model (GLM) in an event-related manner. Thirty-nine dyads participated in this study.

Results

Conventional wavelet-transformed coherence (WTC) analysis showed that joint play induced robust between-brain synchronization (BBS) among the hub-like superior and middle temporal regions and the frontopolar and dorsomedial/dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) in the right hemisphere, in contrast to sparse within-brain synchronization (WBS). Contrarily, similar regions within a single brain showed strong WBS with similar connection patterns during independent play. These findings indicate a two-in-one system for performing creative problem-solving tasks. Further, WTC-GLM analysis combined with computer vision successfully extracted BBS, which was specific to the events when one of the participants raised his/her face to the other. This brain-to-brain synchrony between the right dorsolateral PFC and the right temporo-parietal junction suggests joint functioning of these areas when mentalization is necessary under situations with restricted social signals.

Conclusions

Our proposed analytical approach combining computer vision and WTC-GLM can be applied to extract inter-brain synchrony associated with social behaviors of interest.

HUTCHINSON, KS - USD 308 staff took part in a two-day training on Bal-A-Vis-X, a brain-body integration program used in classrooms to assist students in nervous system regulation.

On the weekend of January 14, 2023, staff from Faris Elementary and McCandless Elementary participated in interactive training on the Bal-A-Vis-X (BAVX) program, which consists of rhythmic exercises used to help students regain focus and regulate emotions during the school day. Staff received training on how to perform the exercises, and had the opportunity to practice with peers and student volunteers.

Meagan Baldwin is a behavior intervention teacher for Wichita Public Schools and is a sanctioned Bal-A-Vis-X practitioner and trainer. Baldwin travels across the country to help organizations and schools become familiar with the BAVX program, and was the leader of the USD 308 training.

"Bal-A-Vis-X is an acronym for Balance Auditory Vision eXercises. It is a set of about 300 exercises that are based on physical technique and rooted in rhythm. We can teach this to anyone," said Baldwin.

The exercises are a way for students to practice executive functioning skills, such as task initiation or waiting for their turn. BAVX is a way for young students to practice skills needed for a successful classroom experience.

"All of our exercises can be done individually or in a partner configuration or in a small group configuration. As an example, a class may have just come in from recess, which is a time when stress responses are heightened, so we need a strategy for calming so students are in the best state for learning. So, you might see a teacher with a small group of students passing sandbags to one another, or bouncing racket balls, all in a patterned and intentional way," Baldwin explained.

During the training, staff at Faris and McCandless had the opportunity to practice these rhythmic exercises so that they could take them back and implement them in their classrooms. The training was hands-on and focused on the idea that anyone could perform these exercises.

"When Meg said these exercises were for everyone, she wasn't kidding. In just one weekend I watched her work with kids as young as three, all the way through to the adults that were attending the training," said Melanie Goering, a first-grade teacher at Faris Elementary.

One of the unique aspects of the BAVX training is that it includes students in the skills practice. After the adults at the training learn the exercises, students are invited to attend on the second day to allow teachers to practice the skills they've learned.

"I really enjoyed having hands-on learning time with other adults from several different areas. I liked the fact that we can take this back to our classrooms instantly. My favorite part though was actually getting to watch Meg work with my daughter. We recently received a diagnosis of severe anxiety. I could visibly watch her anxiety lower as she got in the rhythm of working with Meg," said Goering.

Following the training, participants were able to immediately implement their new skills in their schools, which they shared with Baldwin.

"I'm already receiving multiple videos of teachers using BAVX in their classrooms. It's going to be interesting to see where this goes. I often don't get that piece of follow-up, so it will be interesting to watch them through this process," said Baldwin.

Rhythm plays an essential role in our lives because if our bodies cannot generate the most fundamental rhythm of life-the heartbeat-we cannot survive. Our heart rate must increase to initiate fight or flight and it must maintain its rhythmic pulse despite any demands placed on it. Regulating heart rate during stress and controlling stress hormones are two critical tasks that require that the brain and body keep proper time.

Children who carry chronic behavioral challenges are often met with
reactive and punitive practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems.

This book deeply addresses the need for co-regulatory and relational touch point practices, shifting student-focused behavior management protocols to adult regulated brain and body states which are brain aligned, preventive, and relational discipline protocols. This new lens for discipline benefits all students by reaching for sustainable behavioral changes through brain state awareness rather than compliance and obedience.

"[Oprah Winfrey and Bruce D. Perry] are both capable, likable narrators who are sincerely engaged with their subject matter...The performances of these two humanitarians make this a must-hear for anyone recovering from their traumatic past." ( AudioFile Magazine ) This program is read by the authors. Our earliest experiences shape our lives far down the road, and What Happened to You? provides powerful scientific and emotional insights into the behavioral patterns so many of us struggle to understand.

"Through this lens we can build a renewed sense of personal self-worth and ultimately recalibrate our responses to circumstances, situations, and relationships. It is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very lives." (Oprah Winfrey)

This audiobook is going to change the way you see your life. control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question.

Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just

Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?"

Here, Winfrey shares stories from her own past, understanding through experience the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma and adversity at a young age. In conversation throughout the audiobook, she and Dr. Perry focus on understanding people, behavior, and ourselves. It's a subtle but profound shift in our approach to trauma, and it's one that allows us to understand our pasts in order to clear a path to our future - opening the door to resilience and healing in a proven, powerful way.
