10 Habits of Highly Effective Brains By : Aaron Newcolm Newsweek's Sharon Begley recently wrote that "With the nation's 78 million baby boomers approaching the age of those dreaded "where did I leave my keys?" moments, it's no wonder the market for computer-based brain training has shot up from essentially zero in 2005 to $80 million this year, according to the consulting firm SharpBrains." 10 Mind-Boggling Psychiatric Treatments By : Associate Editor Nobody ever claimed a visit to the doctor was a pleasant way to pass the time. But if you’re timid about diving onto a psychiatrist’s couch or paranoid about popping pills, remember: It could be worse. Like getting-a-hole-drilled-into-your-skull worse. Or having-a-doctor-infect-you-with-malaria-to-cure-you worse. Think of it this way. After finding out what’s not going to happen to you, that couch is going to start looking a lot more comfortable. Anger Makes You Fat and Keeps You Fat! By : Bill Ritzer Why was it okay for Mimi's colleagues to vent, but no space for her views? Anger frothed up. She stopped at a store and bought a quart of chocolate ice- cream and a large bag of potato chips. That combination was the her most trusted and true numbing device. Emotional constipation was Mimi’s sign of power and resilience. She dealt with overflowing gunky confused emotions by converting the trash into fat. Find out how Mimi can opt out of the yoyo games she plays with her weight. Brain Chip Tested in Monkeys May Help Humans With Movement Disorders By : Article Brain Editor A new brain chip under development established new connections in the brains of monkeys in a region that controls movement. Scientists hope to eventually make a version that could help humans with movement disorders. Can the suspect tell his story backwards? If not, he's lying By : Assistant Editor Gene Hunt, the copper from the TV series Life on Mars who batters crooks into submission in the interview room, may not approve. But a cunning new method of dragging the truth from criminals may be on the horizon, thanks to research by university psychologists. Don’t blame your brain for what society makes you By : Moisha Israel The citizens of Karachi are the way they are, not because there’s something wrong with our collective brains. Our lack of respect for punctuality, and the general apathy, etc., are more a result of social conditioning than neurological imbalances or imperfections, said Dr Saad Shafqat Tuesday during a session on the human brain organised as part of The Second Floor’s (t2f) monthly Science ka Adda series. Double Whammy: Adolescent Brain and the Adolescent brain on Drugs By : Ned Wicker I think I’m like most people who used to believe that the brain matured at the end of childhood. Wow, how could I have been that wrong? Do parents know this? Probably not. The brain actually doesn’t mature until a person reaches 24 years of age. How to Wire Your Brain for Religious Ecstas By : Associate Editor Eight years ago, I flew to Laurentian University in Midwestern Canada to test a gadget that some journalists called the "God machine." The device consisted of computer-controlled solenoids that fit over the skull and stimulate the brain with electromagnetic pulses. Its inventor, neuroscientist Michael Persinger, claimed that it could induce mystical experiences, including, as Wired magazine put it, visions of "Jesus, the Virgin Mary, Mohammed, the Sky Spirit." I Was a Neuroscience Guinea Pig: How Scientists Scrambled My Brain By : Associate Editor By Lisa Katayama - Wired Magazine I feel like the hoodlum Alex in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange: My head is held steady by a chin strap, while two technicians grease my scalp with conductive gel and slip on a cap bristling with electrodes. I'm about to have my brain scrambled -- electrically -- in the name of medical science. Scientists are going to knock out regions of my brain while I perform a memory test. Manufacturing belief By : Associate Editor The origin of religion is in our heads, explains developmental biologist Lewis Wolpert. First we figured out how to make tools, then created a supernatural being. By Steve Paulson of Salon Magazine Membranes: A Medium for the Origins of Life, Love, Matter and the Cosmos By : Robert DePaolo This article discusses the advent of selective membranes as a necessary prerequisite in the origin of the universe, matter, life and the dynamics of behavior The five biggest neuroscience developments of the year. By : Bill Ritzer The human brain has spent its evolutionary history learning about everything else in the world. Since last summer, it has learned quite a bit about itself. It has discovered lots of things about female sexuality, incest, psychopaths, IQ, brain death, addiction, compulsive buying, and how to remotely control animals through cranial implants. But five major trends and breakthroughs stand out. Here they are, with links to related news items and columns. The Human Brain: Marvel or Mess? By : Assistant Editor Let others rhapsodize about the elegant design and astounding complexity of the human brain—the most complicated, most sophisticated entity in the known universe, as they say. David Linden, a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University, doesn't see it that way. To him, the brain is a "cobbled-together mess." The Orgasmic Mind: The Neurological Roots of Sexual Pleasure By : Aaron Newcolm Achieving sexual climax requires a complex conspiracy of sensory and psychological signals—and the eventual silencing of critical brain areas The Progress of Science By : Marcel Lafaoe The different sciences depend on one another. Progress in one field brings progress to another. In this article I explore this relationship. The Psychology Of Board Games By : Victor Epand Many people love board games and this article explores the allure of the games and what kind of psychology went into designing these particular games. The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the Soul By : Bill Ritzer Science’s biggest mystery is the nature of consciousness. It is not that we possess bad or imperfect theories of human awareness; we simply have no such theories at all. About all we know about consciousness is that it has something to do with the head, rather than the foot. — Physicist Nick Herbert The Use and Control of Biological Weapons By : nikky Howard Biological warfare (previously known as germ warfare) is the employment of disease inflicting microorganisms as military weapons. One among the earliest recorded uses of biological weapons occurred in the fourteenth century when invading Asian armies used a tool referred to as a catapult to hurl bodies of plague victims over city walls to infect the resisting towns’ people. It is thought that this follow resulted in the unfold of the Black Death throughout Europe, killing several folks in four years. Top 10 Strange Phenomena of the Mind By : Associate Editor The mind is a wonderful thing - there is so much about it which remains a mystery to this day. Science is able to describe strange phenomena, but can not account for their origins. While most of us are familiar with one or two on this list, many others are mostly unknown outside of the psychological realm. This is a list of the top ten strange mental phenomena. Virtual world sharpens mind-control By : Colm Ekhart A simulated world that can be explored simply by thinking about putting one foot in front of the other might offer new rehabilitation possibilities for disabled patients. This is the vision behind a project that connects a brain-computer interface (BCI) to an immersive virtual world. What is Metaphysics and how Epigenetic studies will change Health Care forever? By : Metaguru Epigenetic studies will bring about a major break through in how human energy fields, alter the physical body chemistry. This will bring about the greatest advancement ever in health treatment over the next 30 years. This means if healed before they get sick then they won’t get sick….. Why Time Seems to Slow Down in Emergencies By : Associate Editor This warping of time apparently does not result from the brain speeding up from adrenaline when in danger. Instead, this feeling seems to be an illusion, scientists now find.
