The Secret to a Nervous Disposition.

Anxiety can be a debilitating illness.

So what causes anxiety?

Are Anxiety and fear two sides of the same coin?

According to university students at Wisconsin, some people are born with a nervous disposition.

The research consisted of a study of rhesus monkeys, chosen because they represent a brain that is very similar to that of adolescent human. the most anxious exhibited clear signs of increased anxiety activity within one particular part of the brain even when not in a stressful environment. The students say their findings show that their is a need for therapeutic intervention at a young age.

I have put together some entertaining videos for your enjoyment. The first one is quite a long video but be patient there is a lot of interesting information regarding anxiety and attachment disorders.

Scary or sensational? A machine that can look into the mind

Scientists have developed a computerised mind-reading technique which lets them accurately predict the images that people are looking at by using scanners to study brain activity.

Computer Uses Brain Scans to Read Minds

Associate professor of psychology Jack Gallant and two researchers, Kendrick Kay and Thomas Naselaris, first trained a computer program to recognize which of a set of 1,750 photos Kay and Naselaris were looking at while their brains were scanned by an MRI machine of the sort ordinarily used in hospitals.

A computer display shows magnetic resonance scans of a human brain in Magdeburg, Germany in a 2005 file photo.

Hearing Our Heartbeat

The other day my 3-year old God son and I were pillow fighting when he sat down, panting, and said with surprise, “I can feel my heart beating!”

Sometimes it takes little kids to remind us just how amazing our bodies are.

Scientists believe that an area of the brain, the interior and anterior cingulate cortex, is involved in what is known as interoceptive awareness—the awareness of our own physiological sensations, like a heart beating deep within your body.

But recent research from the University of Iowa has shown that we can also use another separate pathway when we consciously experience our internal physical states.

This second pathway, they believe, runs from the skin to the somatosensory cortex, which is the part of the brain that maps the external body.

This study suggests that both brain pathways are involved in interoceptive awareness, which can cover anything from a panic attack, to the sick-feeling of rejection, to a pounding heart from an afternoon pillow fight.

Drink tea to boost metabolism

clipper's remarks: Tea has many health benefits, which we will not cover right now. Ever wonder why stereotypically speaking, Asians look younger, aren't as squishy, and seem to have fewer health issues? Tea is good answer! =)

This is an ancient herbal tea formula that, according to Chinese folklore was meant specifically to help the body lose weight. Keep in mind, all Blue Dragon Teas share many health benefits, but this tea is highly effective at:

Speeding up the metabolism

Giving a boost of energy (by stimulating beta brain waves)

Relaxing you (stimulating alpha brain waves so your body functions normally instead of in a stressed state)

Aiding in digestion

Helping the body absorb proper vitamins, minerals and nutrients

Dark Plasma Theory - Neural Networks

In the 1930s and onwards, neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield developed a surgical procedure for epileptics in which he operated on a patient’s exposed brain while the patient remained fully conscious. When an electrode was placed on the patient’s temporal lobe, the patient had a complete flashback to an episode from earlier in his life. (Applying the electrode to other parts of the brain did not produce this.) The scenes always moved forward, and only forward. If music was involved, this followed the precise original tempo; the full score of which the patients would be able to hum with total accuracy — much as an autistic savant would be able to reproduce music with almost complete accuracy — like a recording on a video or compact disc.

Over the past 100-years, the way we visualize and understand the complexity of the brain has evolved due to huge strides microscope design and manufacture, together with the development of cell-staining techniques, gave neuroscientists their first glimpse at the specialized cells that make up the nervous system. Microscopes with more magnifying power enabled them to probe nerve cells in greater detail, revealing distinct compartments. Newer techniques expose the connections between nerve cells, revealing the complex organization of the brain.

In the 1980s, scientists developed fluorescent dyes to help them examine the long, thin extensions of neurons that carry information between these cells. Injected directly into the brain, the dye is incorporated into the cell membrane and transported along it, revealing the route of the nerve fiber. This image highlights the long-range connections between sensory areas of a mouse’s cerebral cortex and thalamus, often called the brain’s relay

Scientists develop machine that can read minds, paint pictures

A MIND-reading machine that can produce pictures of what a person is seeing or remembering has been developed by scientists.

The device studies patterns of brainwave activity and turns them into a moving image on a computer screen.

In a pioneering experiment, an American team scanned the brain activity of two volunteers watching a video and used the results to recreate the images they were seeing.

Although the results were crude, the technique was able to reproduce the rough shape of a man in a white shirt and a city skyline.

Using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner, normally found in hospitals, the American team scanned the brains of two volunteers while they watched videos.

The results were fed into a computer which looked for links between colours, shapes and movements on the screen, and patterns of activity in the brain.

clipper's remarks: psychic powers combine

Clip Source: psychic-test.blogspot.com

The fascinating thing is that human traits, such as intuition, will power and charisma, are also psychic powers combined from the basic psychic gifts! People with strong will power or large charisma do not tend to see themselves as psychic, but in terms of brain waves they are easily placed: Charisma is a combination of the 'recieve present' gift, in the form of reading the minds of those around him, and a strong 'transmit past' power that actually allows him to subtly alter his own personality by changing his past, in such a way that the personality is more agreeable to the person he has just met (and mind-red)! This incredible discovery has been verified through brain wave readings many times in the laboratory. Similarly, 'will power' and 'being visionary' is nothing but a 'recieve future' and a 'transmit future'-psychic power combined.

Your Eyes Reveal Memories That Your Conscious Brain Forgot

In the experiment, researchers presented a long sequence of pictures of faces paired with an outdoor scene, and finally showed the subject one landscape photo along with three faces, asking him to pick out the face that had originally be paired with the landscape.

Immediately, activity in the brain region called the hippocampus increased, followed 500 to 750 milliseconds later by eye movements directed toward one of the three faces. When the hippocampus was more active, the eyes lingered on the correct face. Less hippocampus activity occurred when the eyes dwelled on an incorrect face…. The results suggest that eye movements can reveal unconscious memories activated in the hippocampus

the new study suggests that the hippocampus actually is involved in memories of relationships that a person does not consciously recollect
