Just watching #RobertSapolsky talk about #fainting and ideas of why. He doesn't really cover fainting in nonhuman animals, but I've seen a chicken faint in traumatic circumstance and slowly recover afterwards. He suggests that it's especially adaptive for humans because we're bipedal so getting a bit of enforced horizontal time is likely to be good for preventing some kinds of blood loss ... well I suppose chickens are also bipedal, but...? 🤔
...by decreasing cytokine release, lessening respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and organ system failure."

Researchers induced fainting in volunteers to study brain activity and found that specific slow-frequency waves, particularly delta and theta, are linked to vivid, near-death-like experiences, offering new insights into the neuroscience of consciousness.

I've been reading about this device (an in the ear device that measures blood flow) for a while. The company has a new name, Lumia health.
I don't normally share product website links but this device (still in the early stages) has me intrigued:
Is anyone out there using this device? Or have other information about it? Thanks!
