Awarded Distinguished Scholar Fellowship at the Hanse Wissenshaftskolleg/Institute for Advanced Study, Delmenhorst Germany, Nadin pursued his research in anticipatory systems within the Neurosciences/Cognitive Sciences Program. During the 2011-2012 academic year, Nadin Interacted with Hanse’s international group of Fellows, while participating in symposia and presenting lectures on applications of anticipatory systems to a variety of fields:

  • Anticipation aspects of time in regard to brain and organs. Symposium: Time and the Conscious Brain, October 31-November 2, 2011
  • Anticipation aspects of motivation, preferences, and decisions in regard to economics and political science. Seminar: Motivation, Preferences, and Decisions – Experiments in Economics and Political Science, Brain. Hanse Institute for Advanced Study, Delmenhorst, Germany Nov. 23, 2011.
  • Consequentialist Ethics Workshop, February 16-17, 2012
  • Brains, Games, and (Social) Neurons: Physics and Social Sciences in Discussion, May 11, 2012
  • Seminar: Anticipation—Examples of Anticipatory Expression in the Framework of Neuroscience, May 29, 2012

In January 2012, he introduced anticipation to the entire Hanse group during a lecture entitled “Quantifying Anticipation: AnticipationScope and the Anticipatory Profile.”

At the invitation of Mihai Nadin, Germaine Acogny, “Mother of modern African dance,” presented her dance and fitness program, based on African dance movements, at the Institute for Research in Anticipatory Systems. Researchers tracked her movements through motion capture and the Anticipation Scope™. Amazing Grace, the video resulting from these sessions is accessible through YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_pbi_yXdk0

Uplift Academy Workshop, Encinitas, CA. By invitation only seminar on the Good Ancestor Principle,
February 4-5, 2007

Development and implementation of the AnticipationScope™. The AnticipationScope records both motion capture and physiological data via sensors attached to a volunteer’s body. The result is an individual’s Anticipatory Profile™. The initial data serve as a benchmark for changes in the anticipatory profile. Changes can reflect either improved anticipatory capabilities (important for high-performance activities such as sports and defense) or deterioration. To date, over 100 subjects, ranging in age from 12-80+, have been tested.
