The Brain Machine Brain Machine Kit You must be logged in to reply. Hi Mitch - Thanks for the quick reply. As recommended in the other post, I roughly cut your meditation sequence in half. //sleep sequence { 'b', 600000 }, { 'a', 100000 }, { 'b', 200000 }, { 'a', 150000 }, { 'b', 150000 }, { 'a', 200000 }, { 'b', 100000 }, { 'a', 300000 }, { 'b', 50000 }, { 'a', 600000 }, { 't', 100000 }, { 't', 200000 }, { 't', 300000 }, { 't', 600000 }, { 'd', 30000 }, { 'd', 100000 }, { 'd', 200000 }, { 'd', 300000 }, { 'a', 10000 }, { 't', 500000 }, { 'd', 800000 }, { '0', 0 } //last element to stop main_loop }; //end of table We usually drift off to sleep before the sequence ends. So hopefully, the Maker Store/Shed will begin stocking the Brain Machine Kits. For those not familiar with the Brain Machine Kit, it comes with all the parts: safety glasses, 30awg wire, resistors, MiniPOV kit, caps, headphones, instructions and even the crazy artwork. - garagemonkeysan
Neuroscientists reveal magicians' secrets - Technology & science - Science - LiveScience NEW YORK — There is a place for magic in science. Five years ago, on a trip to Las Vegas, neuroscientists Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde realized that a partnership was in order with a profession that has an older and more intuitive understanding of how the human brain works. Magicians, it seems, have an advantage over neuroscientists. "Scientists have only studied cognitive illusions for a few decades. She and Macknik, her husband, use illusions as a tool to study how the brain works. After their epiphany in Las Vegas, where they were preparing for a conference on consciousness, the duo, who both direct laboratories at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona, teamed up with magicians to learn just how they harness the foibles of our brains. The psychological concepts behind illusions are generally better understood, but they treat the brain as something of a black box, without the insight into brain activity or anatomy that neuroscience can offer, they write.

What sounds like science fiction is actually possible: thanks to magnetic stimulation, the activity of certain brain nerve cells can be deliberately influenced. Magnetic pulses stimulate the brain Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a relatively new method of pain-free stimulation of cerebral nerve cells. Repeated stimuli change cerebral activity Since the mid-1990's, repetitive TMS has been used to make purposeful changes to the activability of nerve cells in the human cortex: "In general, the activity of the cells drops as a result of a low-frequency stimulation, i.e. with one magnetic pulse per second. Contact points between cells are strengthened or weakened It is unknown to a great extent how precisely the activity of nerve cells is changed by repeated stimulation. Literature Prof.
Traditional Chinese medicine Traditional medicine in China Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an alternative medical practice drawn from traditional medicine in China. It has been described as "fraught with pseudoscience", with the majority of its treatments having no logical mechanism of action.[1][2] Medicine in traditional China encompassed a range of sometimes competing health and healing practices, folk beliefs, literati theory and Confucian philosophy, herbal remedies, food, diet, exercise, medical specializations, and schools of thought.[3] In the early twentieth century, Chinese cultural and political modernizers worked to eliminate traditional practices as backward and unscientific. Traditional practitioners then selected elements of philosophy and practice and organized them into what they called "Chinese medicine" (Zhongyi). The demand for traditional medicines in China has been a major generator of illegal wildlife smuggling, linked to the killing and smuggling of endangered animals.[10] History[edit]
Conscious vs. Unconscious Thought in Making Complicated Decisions News When faced with a difficult decision, we try to come up with the best choice by carefully considering all of the options, maybe even resorting to lists and lots of sleepless nights. So it may be surprising that recent studies have suggested that the best way to deal with complex decisions is to not think about them at all—that unconscious thought will help us make the best choices. Duke University researchers John W. The researchers found that there are situations where unconscious thought will not result in the best choice being selected. These results suggest that although unconscious thought may help us make the right decision in a number of instances, occasionally it is better to rely on conscious thought and really focus on the problem at hand.
Ayurveda Ayurveda (Sanskrit Āyurveda आयुर्वेद, "life-knowledge"; English pronunciation /ˌaɪ.ərˈveɪdə/[1]) or Ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to the Indian subcontinent and a form of alternative medicine. The oldest known Ayurvedic texts are the Suśrutha Saṃhitā and the Charaka Saṃhitā. These Classical Sanskrit texts are among the foundational and formally compiled works of Ayurveda. Charak By the medieval period, Ayurvedic practitioners developed a number of medicinal preparations and surgical procedures for the treatment of various ailments.[2] Practices that are derived from Ayurvedic medicine are regarded as part of complementary and alternative medicine,[3] and along with Siddha Medicine and Traditional Chinese medicine, forms the basis for systems medicine.[4] Eight components of Ayurveda[edit] Principles and terminology[edit] Several philosophers in India combined religion and traditional medicine—notable examples being that of Hinduism and Ayurveda. History[edit]
Neuroscience of free will On several different levels, from neurotransmitters through neuron firing rates to overall activity, the brain seems to "ramp up" before movements. This image depicts the readiness potential (RP), a ramping-up activity measured using EEG. The onset of the RP begins before the onset of a conscious intention or urge to act. Some have argued that this indicates the brain unconsciously commits to a decision before consciousness awareness. Others have argued that this activity is due to random fluctuations in brain activity, which drive arbitrary, purposeless movements.[1] Philosophers like Daniel Dennett or Alfred Mele consider the language used by researchers. Overview[edit] ...the current work is in broad agreement with a general trend in neuroscience of volition: although we may experience that our conscious decisions and thoughts cause our actions, these experiences are in fact based on readouts of brain activity in a network of brain areas that control voluntary action...

Welcome to the Possibilium Silk Road (anonymous marketplace) For the historical trade routes, see Silk Road. In 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shut down the website[12] and arrested Ross William Ulbricht under charges of being the site's pseudonymous founder "Dread Pirate Roberts".[4] On 6 November 2013, Silk Road 2.0 came online, run by former administrators of Silk Road.[13] It too was shut down and the alleged operator was arrested on 6 November 2014 as part of the so-called "Operation Onymous”. Ulbricht was convicted of all seven charges in U.S. Silk Road was founded in February 2011.[17] The name "Silk Road" comes from a historical network of trade routes, started during the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD), between Europe, India, China, and many other countries on the Afro-Eurasian landmass.

Les différentes ondes cérébrales Ondes ou rythme cérébral Alpha Ce furent les premiers signaux identifiés par Hans Berger, l’inventeur de l’EEG (électro-encéphalographie) de part leur grande amplitude. Les ondes Alpha ont une fréquence allant de 8 à 12 hertz et de 30 à 50 microvolts d’amplitude. Ce sont les fréquences les plus présentes de l’activité totale du cerveau (le cerveau émet plusieurs fréquences à la fois, à des amplitudes différentes). Les fréquences du rythme Alpha sont très proches des fréquences que la terre produit et qui sont appelées résonances de Schumann (7,83 hertz). Les chamans utilisent des techniques visant à se syntoniser à l’énergie tellurique de la terre depuis des temps lointains. L‘état Alpha est le moment où la méditation commence et où vous commencerez à accéder à la richesse et à la créativité qui se trouve dans votre inconscient. Les ondes Alpha disparaissent quand les yeux sont ouverts. Les ondes Alpha sont un pont entre conscient et subconscient.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull Jonathan Livingston Seagull, written by Richard Bach, is a fable in novella form about a seagull learning about life and flight, and a homily about self-perfection. It was first published in 1970 as "Jonathan Livingston Seagull — a story." By the end of 1972, over a million copies were in print, Reader's Digest had published a condensed version, and the book reached the top of the New York Times Best Seller list where it remained for 38 weeks. Plot[edit] The book tells the story of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a seagull who is bored with the daily squabbles over food. One day, Jonathan is met by two gulls who take him to a "higher plane of existence" in that there is no heaven but a better world found through perfection of knowledge, where he meets other gulls who love to fly. Part One[edit] Part One of the book finds young Jonathan Livingston frustrated with the meaningless materialism and conformity and limitation of the seagull life. Part Two[edit] Part Three[edit] Part Four[edit]
