Many products offer temporary effects, but do not help you achieve any long-term benefits and results. Deep meditation at the touch of a button Only 24 minutes per day. Brainwave Synchronization, Brainwave Entrainment, Deep Trance Hypnosis. Brainwaves Electroencephalography (EEG) is a study of changing electrical potential of the brain. The apparatus used to measure this electric potential of the brain is called electroencephalograph, and the tracing or the printout of the measured brainwave forms is electroencephalogram. Frequency is the number of complete repetitive waves that occur in a given unit of time. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz) or cycles per second (cps). Some research has been done associated with the activities and benefits of other brainwave frequencies, such as Super Beta, Gamma, etc. The lower your brainwave cps, the more is your awareness turned toward your subjective experience, toward your inner world and the more effectively are you able to use the power of your mind to create changes in your body.

Generally in Beta state, your attention is focused outward. Whenever you think, you expand energy. Brainwave Entrainment and Synchronization Here's how the principle of entrainment works. 1. Dr. Adams, H. Will Augmented Reality Medical Apps Bridge a Gap in Health Care? (AAPL, GOOG) Tablet usage has increased substantially over the past several years in health care facilities. According to a survey by Manhattan Research, 72% physicians now use tablets in their everyday routines. This has fueled elevated demand for health care reference apps, like athenahealth's (NASDAQ: ATHN ) Epocrates and WebMD's (NASDAQ: WBMD ) Medscape, and mobile electronic health record, or EHR, apps from Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX ) , Cerner, and other major companies.

Thanks to its built-in camera, motion sensors, touch screen interface, cloud-based connections, and portability, the tablet is a versatile medical tool for which new health care applications are being developed every day. Augmented reality -- just like reality, but smarterOne of the most innovative areas of tablet health care is augmented reality, or AR -- an extra layer of information that enhances a real-time image with cloud-based data to create a virtual viewfinder.

How Augmented Reality Helps Doctors Save Lives. I'm in Santa Clara, California this week attending (and speaking) at the Augmented Reality Event - a conference focused on the business of AR that has experts from across the world gathered to share their ideas. While at the event, my goal has been to hunt down innovative and unique real-world practical applications for augmented reality in order to shed light on the usefulness of the technology.

According to Dr. Michael Aratow, augmented reality is playing a huge role in the medical field, and some of his examples of medical AR were fascinating. According to Aratow, Chief Information Officer for San Mateo Health Services, AR has been used in the medical field for nearly ten years. For a long time, AR lived on high-tech levels, and producing products that leveraged it required advanced computing technology only available to large corporations. These visualizations can also extremely useful tools for educating both students and children about medicine. Translating Brainwaves Into Action: Q&A with NeuroSky CEO Stanley Yang. 3inShare We at Medgadget have written a number of pieces about NeuroSky and its patented EEG devices.

The company has revolutionized access to advanced brainwave biosensors, putting them in the hands of the consumer so that anyone can see their EEG data.

VeriEye eye iris identification technology, algorithm and SDK for PC, smartphones and Web. Google Glass: Not for the Hearing Impaired. I applied for Google’s Glass Explorer program hoping for the chance to influence the design to make it more accessible for people with disabilities. As a freelance journalist who happens to be deaf, I dashed off the following tweet in response to the contest question: What would you do with Google Glass?

“One word: Captioning. Movies, shows, public events, people I have trouble lip-reading (mustaches are so 70s!). #ifihadglass.” Profoundly deaf since birth, I wear a cochlear implant and digital hearing aid. I speak and read lips, but cannot understand speech without seeing the speaker’s face or reading captions. Instant captioning would make my life easier in many respects — for that person who mumbles or has a thick foreign accent, when I miss announcements or other audible information, or when I’m at a venue that doesn’t have captions. But then reality dawned. In this case, I was concerned about the physical fit of Glass with my hearing aid, since it’s bulky near that ear. Lisa A. Move over Google Glass, here comes $300 competition from France.

SAN FRANCISCO—If French startup Optinvent is right, what we all really want is a bigger screen directly in front of our eyes. Sure, Google Glass may be the best-known example of a heads-up display, but Kayvan Mirza says that Glass simply doesn’t cut it. Over breakfast at Blue Bottle Coffee on Wednesday, Optinvent’s CEO demonstrated a mockup of the company’s new ORA-S for Ars. Unlike Glass, the ORA-S, as currently designed, is a large and very industrial plastic pair of sunglasses with the viewing prism mounted directly in the field of view.

Glass’ prism, by contrast, sits just above the natural line-of-sight and has no other lenses to get in the way. “It’s much bigger in terms of display size than Google,” Mirza told Ars, noting that the ORS-A has a 16:9 aspect ratio and a field of view of 25 degrees. Optinvent is one of a slew of bigger-funded companies believed to be working on similar wearable computing devices (for instance, Microsoft and Samsung are both getting in on the game). ‎www.amberplatform.org/uploads/Presss/2009%20proceedings_my.pdf.

Forrester: Google Glass will be the next iPhone (but now it’s just a Newton) Roughly 21.6 million Americans would buy Google Glass if it were available, a new Forrester report says.

But the current Explorer version is more of a Newton — Apple’s flawed and failed PDA — than an iPhone. That’s 12 percent of the adult population. In fact, despite the current prototype model’s limited battery life and restrictive API, Glass is more of a “when” than an “if” product, according to the survey of more than 4,600 U.S. adults. “Glass is continuously improving via over-the-air updates and new applications, and we have no doubt that in time, Glass will be the next iPhone,” the Forrester study says. The key target audience? A group of “Glass Gravitors,” Forrester says, who are tech optimists mostly under the age of 50, mostly high-income, and only slightly more male than female.

But head-mounted glasses-based wearable computing is not the only game in town.

Monday morning, as I read the reactions and reviews to the 85th Academy Awards from the night before, I came across an interesting intersection of Hollywood dazzle and Silicon Valley power: Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google (GOOG), and his wife Anne Wojcicki, were apparently at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, schmoozing amongst that most exclusive and dazzling list of party guests, and promoting Google's new Glass device. Both Brin and his wife wore a pair of the smart wearable computers (they resemble a pair of eyeglasses), and Hollywood power players were invited to test out prototypes.

Ms. Wojcicki said to the New York Times, "We've come a number of times, and no one ever wants to talk to us. Now we're very popular. " In a separate story, Brin told CNN: "Glass will also have an automatic picture-taking mode, snapping pics at preset intervals (such as every five seconds). " Glass as Personal Assistant Google obviously envisions a game-changing device.
