INTRODUCTION: What is the relation between flow, anxiety and connection? OBJECTIVE: Finding and unravelling the possible associations between the three mentioned phenomena. METHODS: Exploration of the empirical literature related to the themes in question and simultaneous narrative construction of a new theoretical approach. RESULTS: The antagonistic relation between flow and anxiety is shown and the role of human connection as a catalyst for the first and a preventive remedy against the second is highlighted. CONCLUSION: Possible lines of future research emerge.

Critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units require special care and the early diagnosis of the possible outcome of this coma is clinically important. Electroencephalographic signals are collected daily in critically ill patients and can be used to aid in the early diagnosis of neurological pathologies in such patients. Therefore, this study aimed to quantitatively describe the coherence values measured by the EEG signal of Brazilian individuals. The first group with comatose patients (N = 75), favorable (to live) or unfavorable (dying) outcomes, and various etiology. The second group was made by neurologically normal people, named the control group (N = 100). In addition, a number of statistical comparisons were made in order to verify the difference in coherence behavior according to the levels of consciousness. The coherence index of the comatose group is smaller than the control group. Besides, different hospitalization results, living or dying, as well as different etiologies, may be associated with particular values of cerebral coherence. It was observed that the etiology of coma does not influence the measured values of coherence in terms of diagnosis due to brain death, which may become a biomarker of this outcome. Another important consideration was that neurologically healthy patients did not present high values of cerebral coherence at all electrodes, as seen in the temporal region of the brain.

As características individuais do bebê, os contextos específicos nos quais ele se desenvolve, e as atividades realizadas pelos adultos, interrelacionam-se, constituindo um sistema dinâmico que permite a regulação dos estados de vigília do mesmo. Neste artigo foram analisadas comparativamente as mudanças nos estados de vigília em dois momentos do desenvolvimento, aos trinta dias e aos cinco meses, e identificadas as atividades maternas e os contextos específicos associados a essas mudanças. Trinta díades mãe-bebê foram filmadas por quinze minutos em suas residências. Os estados foram classificados em: sono, sonolência, alerta, inquietação e choro. Bebês de cinco meses apresentaram capacidade de regulação mais previsível, tipos de transição mais restritos, maior capacidade de manutenção em um estado específico e mais atividades em um maior número de contextos. Há indicações do desenvolvimento da capacidade do bebê de regulação de seus estados de vigília de forma articulada ao papel do adulto e do contexto.
The individual characteristics of a baby, the specific contexts in which he/she develops and the activities carried out by the adults are related, constituting a dynamic system that allows the regulation of his awareness states. In this article, the changes in those states have been comparatively analyzed in two different moments of their development: at thirty days and five months, and the specific maternal activities and contexts associated to those changes have been identified. Thirty mother-baby dyads were filmed during fifteen minutes in their residences. The awareness states were classified in: sleep, sleepiness, alert, fidgety and cry. Five-month babies presented more restricted capacity of predictable regulation, some types of transition, bigger capacity of maintenance in a specific state and more activities in a larger number of contexts. There are indications of development of babies' regulation capacities associated with the role of the adult and the context.
