  • Research on Light and Sound
    Research on light and sound Welcome! I’ve spent the last five years reading all the available research on mind machines – and now I’ve pulled together the most accessible of this information as a way to encourage you to try this technology yourself. Mind machines are referred to in these reports in a number of ways: • BWS (Brainwave Synchronisers) • LS (light and sound devices) • AVS (audio visual stimulation) • Photic stimulation All refer to the same technology which is built into our range of mind machines. All our mind machines can generate all the frequencies mentioned in these reports. I’ve condensed some of the reports for readability – and because some of the data is repeated. For example I’ve taken out three paragraphs from the extract from Megabrain Power as the original full reports are included here. I’ve had the very good fortune to spend time with many of the people mentioned in these pages: Robert Austin, Tom Budzynski, Michael Hutchison, Julian Isaacs, Harold Russell and David Siever – all thorough and committed researchers at the cutting edge of peak performance technology. Have a great read. You don’t need to understand it all. I just hope you read enough to see for yourself that mind machines really do work, and you’re encouraged to try a unit in your own home, using our 100% money back satisfaction guarantee.

  • The Creation of Neuroscience
    The Creation of Neuroscience The Society for Neuroscience and the Quest for Disciplinary Unity 1969-1995 Introduction rom the molecular biology of a single neuron to the breathtakingly complex circuitry of the entire human nervous system, our understanding of the brain and how it works has undergone radical F changes over the past century. These advances have brought us tantalizingly closer to genu- inely mechanistic and scientifically rigorous explanations of how the brain’s roughly 100 billion neurons, interacting through trillions of synaptic connections, function both as single units and as larger ensem- bles. The professional field of neuroscience, in keeping pace with these important scientific develop- ments, has dramatically reshaped the organization of biological sciences across the globe over the last 50 years. Much like physics during its dominant era in the 1950s and 1960s, neuroscience has become the leading scientific discipline with regard to funding, numbers of scientists, and numbers of trainees. Furthermore, neuroscience as fact, explanation, and myth has just as dramatically redrawn our cultural landscape and redefined how Western popular culture understands who we are as individuals. In the 1950s, especially in the United States, Freud and his successors stood at the center of all cultural expla- nations for psychological suffering. In the new millennium, we perceive such suffering as erupting no longer from a repressed unconscious but, instead, from a pathophysiology rooted in and caused by brain abnormalities and dysfunctions. Indeed, the normal as well as the pathological have become thoroughly neurobiological in the last several decades. In the process, entirely new vistas have opened up in fields ranging from neuroeconomics and neurophilosophy to consumer products, as exemplified by an entire line of soft drinks advertised as offering “neuro” benefits.

However, actual research focusing on the development of tran- scranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is beginning in the 1980s and transcranial electrical brain stimulation methods, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), tran- scranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), are investigated from around the year 2000. Today, electrical, or magnetic stimulation methods are used for either the diagnosis or exploration of neurophysiology and neuroplasticity functions, or as a therapeutic interven- tion in neurologic or psychiatric disorders (i.e., structural damage or functional impairment of central or peripheral nerve function). This Special Issue ‘Brain Stimulation and Neuroplasticity’ gathers ten research articles Citation: Palm, U.; Chalah, M.A.; and two review articles on various magnetic and electrical brain stimulation methods in Ayache, S.S.

  • Mirror Neurons and Their Reflections
    Open Access Library Journal Mirror Neurons and Their Reflections Mehmet Tugrul Cabioglu1, Sevgin Ozlem Iseri2 1Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Baskent University, Ankara, Turkey 2Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey Received 23 October 2015; accepted 7 November 2015; published 12 November 2015 Copyright © 2015 by authors and OALib. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Human mirror neuron system is believed to provide the basic mechanism for social cognition. Mirror neurons were first discovered in 1990s in the premotor area (F5) of macaque monkeys. Besides the premotor area, mirror neuron systems, having different functions depending on their locations, are found in various cortical areas. In addition, the importance of cingulate cortex in mother-infant relationship is clearly emphasized in the literature. Functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, transcortical magnetic stimulation are the modalities used to evaluate the, activity of mirror neurons; for instance, mu wave suppression in electroencephalo- graphy recordings is considered as an evidence of mirror neuron activity. Mirror neurons have very important functions such as language processing, comprehension, learning, social interaction and empathy. For example, autistic individuals have less mirror neuron activity; therefore, it is thought that they have less ability of empathy. Responses of mirror neurons to object-directed and non-object directed actions are different and non-object directed action is required for the activa- tion of mirror neurons. Previous researchers find significantly more suppression during the ob- servation of object-directed movements as compared to mimed actions.

  • A Tale of Two Brains – Cortical Localization and Neurophysiology in the 19Th and 20Th Century
    Commentary A Tale of Two Brains – Cortical localization and neurophysiology in the 19th and 20th century Philippe-Antoine Bilodeau, MDCM(c)1 MJM 2018 16(5) Abstract Introduction: Others have described the importance of experimental physiology in the development of the brain sciences and the individual discoveries by the founding fathers of modern neurology. This paper instead discusses the birth of neurological sciences in the 19th and 20th century and their epistemological origins. Discussion: In the span of two hundred years, two different conceptions of the brain emerged: the neuroanatomical brain, which arose from the development of functional, neurological and neurosurgical localization, and the neurophysiological brain, which relied on the neuron doctrine and enabled pre-modern electrophysiology. While the neuroanatomical brain stems from studying brain function, the neurophysiological brain emphasizes brain functioning and aims at understanding mechanisms underlying neurological processes. Conclusion: In the 19th and 20th century, the brain became an organ with an intelligible and coherent physiology. However, the various discoveries were tributaries of two different conceptions of the brain, which continue to influence sciences to this day. Relevance: With modern cognitive neuroscience, functional neuroanatomy, cellular and molecular neurophysiology and neural networks, there are different analytical units for each type of neurological science. Such a divide is a vestige of the 19th and 20th century development of the neuroanatomical and neurophysiological brains. history of medicine, history of neurology, cortical localization, neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, 19th century 1Faculty of Medicine, McGill University, Montréal, Canada. 3Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.
