As some of you may know, I have a long time focus of inquiry about how to elicit loving bliss neurophysiology (brain chemistry or bodymind chemistry, as I think of this). Here's the beginning wiki subject page for open teaching and learning about this at World University -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology). It's kind of an out-of-the-box philosophical inquiry - and definitely seeks to be scientific too - but with the ongoing goal of finding, as B.E. once said on Cuttyhunk, the on-off switch for this neurophysiology which I can also call 'neural cascades of pleasure' - and realizing this when wanted. Music-making is a main focus of this generative inquiry for me currently (all you professional violin players!:).
I just found this related article on an UC Berkeley Ph.D. student friend's twitter feed, who went to Stanford as an undergrad -
https://theconversation.com/why-do-only-some-people-get-skin-orgasms-from-listening-to-music-59719 - which could inform even protocols for studying this, both online and possibly experimentally. While I'm actually interested in finding ways to elicit loving bliss neurophysiology for 9 hours per day, every day, for the next 50 years, for example (again thinking way outside the "box"), and whenever, there are a lot of questions I have in terms of thinking about how this would work bodymind chemistry-wise, and how different scientists and people would study this. It would be fun to come into further conversation about this with all of you with time.
