In 1975, Edward Tronick and his team introduced the “Still Face Experiment" at the biennial meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development. They observed a phenomenon where an infant, following three minutes of interaction with a non-responsive and expressionless mother, quickly becomes solemn and cautious. The infant repeatedly tries to restore the usual reciprocal interaction pattern, but when unsuccessful, withdraws. The infant then turns his face and body away from the mother, displaying a withdrawn and hopeless facial expression. This discovery continues to be one of the most widely confirmed findings in the field of developmental psychology.

The exposome is the cumulative measure of an individual's lifetime exposures from environmental and occupational sources and their impact on health. It encompasses interactions between exposures from the environment, diet, lifestyle, etc., and an individual's unique characteristics such as genetics, physiology, and epigenetics.

Heart Coherence, as described by the HeartMath Institute, is a state of alignment involving the heart, mind, emotions, and physical systems. The institute offers tools and technologies based on over 30 years of scientific research to teach individuals how to achieve coherence and harness its benefits. Activating heart qualities like care, kindness, and acceptance leads to Personal Coherence, reducing mental and emotional pressure and enhancing decision-making and resilience. Personal Coherence is transmitted through one's energetic field, positively affecting others. Social Coherence taps into collective heart intelligence, improving group effectiveness, communication, and problem-solving. As individuals and groups cultivate heart coherence, it sets the stage for a collective momentum known as Global Coherence, with the potential to uplift consciousness on a global scale (HeartMath Institute, 2016).
