Subjective signals

At about 1:24:40 in your video about brain health (youtube.com/watch?v=E7W4OQfJWdw&t=5908s) you mentioned this idea of almost "summoning" dopamine response via intentional attention. Is this a generally available mechanism for behaviors ... or does it relate specifically to food behaviors? And do you happen to have a citation? I think you called them "subjective signals" or somesuch. Thanks!

How do you use Ultradian Cycles in your daily work?

You've mentioned before that you try to include at least 1 90 minute focus block per day as part of your work and overall mission. What is your max number of blocks you can perform sustainably? Do you take vacations or extended breaks? If you knew you needed to drastically increase the amount of focus you do daily, how would you schedule that focus and recover from it? Thank YOU for your interest in science!
