"Meditation and Rainbow Body": The Importance of the Heart-Brain Connection
Course / Club: Independent Project
Presenter Name: Skyler Michaud
Faculty Name: Judith Elliston
Brief Description: Meditation is a common Mind/Body practice that can help to enforce the mind/body connection so that we can have more voluntary control over our actions and thoughts. I believe that with enough practice, all individuals can attain a state of mind-body connection wherein we can determine what we are feeling and thinking by controlling the signals the heart is sending to the brain, which allows us to function on a more productive level and furthermore promote a more positive energy around us that can extend out to others.
Linear Approximation
Course / Club: Calculus I
Presenter Name: Sophie Xu
Faculty Name: Igor Baryakhtar
Brief Description: Linear approximation is a simple but powerful tool to estimate function values, calculation errors, and other practical applications.
