IAGP WORKSHOP Stimulating Innate Biological Algorithms for Life Strategies and a Good Life

November 15, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm UTC
IAGP WORKSHOP
Stimulating Innate Biological Algorithms for Life Strategies and a Good Life
The therapist’s role is not to solve problems but to guide the client—or seeker—to discover their own resources and become a catalyst for change. This is especially vital when old behaviours are no longer useful or when new challenges require fresh responses.
This workshop, part of an ongoing neuroscience research project, is based on the belief that we all carry innate biological resources—natural algorithms—that can help us face even the most difficult situations. Participants will explore a visualisation and simulation model designed to stimulate these internal mechanisms, offering practical applications for therapy, education, and personal growth.
Focus of the Process
Mirror Neurons and Motor Resonance Systems: Foundation of empathy, social learning, and relational intelligence.
The Precuneus: The brain’s “inner compass” for self-representation, perspective-taking, and inner navigation.
Frontal Lobe: Supporting bottom-up communication for adaptive and well-informed decision-making.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Understand the role of mirror neurons and the precuneus in empathy, decision-making, and adaptive behaviour.
Differentiate between artificial algorithms and innate biological processes.
Apply experiential techniques to stimulate innate systems for spontaneity, creativity, and relational intelligence.

Develop strategies that promote wellbeing, meaning, and adaptive living across personal and professional contexts.
Target Audience
Neuroscientists, psychotherapists, counsellors, coaches, AI researchers, educators, leadership trainers, social innovators, and graduate students in psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, and philosophy.
Outcomes
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how biological algorithms can be activated and strengthened, along with practical tools adaptable to different therapeutic schools of thought and professional settings.

About Dr Carlos Raimundo
Dr Carlos is an Argentinean-born medical doctor, psychiatrist, and psychodramatist who has called Australia home since 1986. He is an adjunct researcher with Charles Sturt University and the Active Learning Centre in Sydney. He’s the author of Realtionship Capital, Prentice Hall and Feelings Allowed, Balboa Press.
His work centres on neuroscience, enhancing insight and behavioural change through the lens of the precuneus—the brain’s internal compass. Dr Carlos is the creator of the Play of Life, a 3D behavioural simulation tool, and RCompass, a digital sociometry application.
He has received several prestigious awards from the ASGPP, including the Innovators Award (2002), the David Kipper Award (2024), and the Zerka Moreno Award (2025). His writing has appeared in academic journals and the upcoming IAGP publication “The One Thing That Separates Us: Responding to Diversity—A Neuro-Correlate Approximation.”
Carlos is a member of the IAGP Board, a former Executive Council Member of the ASGPP, chairing the International Section. More about Carlo’s articles: https://playoflife.com/blog
