In this article, I am going to explain how to create binaural beats and how you can use them to enhance meditation. You most likely already know that different states of consciousness are associated with different brainwave frequencies. What you may not know is that by modulating brainwave activity, you can induce altered states of consciousness – and you can do this cheaply and easily, from the comfort of your own home. In fact, the only equipment you will need is a few au

I am a great believer in the tremendous transformative power of words. As Dumbledore said to Harry Potter, “Words are our most inexhaustible source of magic, capable of both inflicting injury and remedying it.” We are all products of the words that were repeatedly said to us as children, and continue to say to ourselves now. Some of us heard words in childhood that hypnotized us into believing that we’re not valuable or important. However, we can use the magic of words

If you've been keeping up with the news, you know that the issue of women's roles is a hot potato right now on two fronts: political, and religious. I want to comment on the current furor from a neurological viewpoint. I believe it's crucial for the future of our world that we acknowledge what brain research is showing us—that men's and women's brains are not the same. When we finally wake up to this reality and structure society to take advantage of it, we will all benefit. It may just be the salvation of our species, if not of the entire ecosphere.

Have you ever heard of "conduct disorder"? Well, in case you haven't, you might like to know that it's one of more than 120 disorders listed at depression-guide.com.

Brain balance, or in this case –lack of brain balance – lost the game. Did you know that nearly every Gold Medalist in the Olympics wins by a mere fraction of a second?

Focus, reaction time, clarity of thought and consistency are what makes the difference between winners and losers. Each of these characteristics relies on a brain that is in balance and harmony.

Over 900 years ago, a woman who was incredibly advanced for her time understood that what causes us to overindulge in food, put harmful substances in our bodies, and treat each other in a less than caring manner is a refusal to embrace the whole of life as a pleasurable experience. This woman's understanding ran counter to the mainstream of her day, which believed that humans are inherently flawed. Why did people believe they were flawed? Simply because then, as now, many were stuck in a brain state that's restrictive, self-denying, and deadening.r

As a friend of mine is given to say, "none of us gets out of this life alive." Top of mind today are the soldiers and others who are valiantly fighting for our freedom. They have chosen an endeavor where danger, crisis and trauma surround them. But in life – as in war – there are no unwounded soldiers. Our police and firefighters experience physical and psychological wounds each day. Those of us going through life in a more "ordinary" way – mothers, fathers, bankers, laborers, athletes, children – also face our share of challenges.

Scientists are literally salivating over this week’s near-discovery of the so-called “God Particle” at the CERN Hadron Collider in Switzerland.

Two men arrested early Easter Sunday just north of Tulsa, Oklahoma, were charged Monday with a shooting spree that left three black males dead and two wounded. The shooting wasn't a kneejerk reaction to a provocative situation. As a local pastor, Rev Warren Blakney, told CNN, "For a white male to come that deep into that area and to start indiscriminately shooting, that lends itself for many to believe that it probably was a hate crime."

How often have you heard someone say, "I don't look forward to getting old"? Perhaps you've even said it yourself. Given that we're all going to age, what's the worst part of growing older? None of us likes the thought of having our skin wrinkle and gradually become thin. Neither do we want to lose our hair. Fighting a spare tire is also pretty much a losing battle for many of us as we enter our 40s. Plus, we find our joints stiffening and our muscles sore in the mornings, making it harder to get out of bed—not to mention slowing our gait and putting us at risk of a fall.

You’ve heard that “curiosity killed the cat,” and for cats that may be true. But for human beings, curiosity can be a powerful enhancer of life’s enjoyment, comfort, and fulfillment.

Skin Conductance can be both one of the simplest yet one of the most complex modalities of biofeedback at the same time. More stress, the reading goes up. More relaxed, the reading goes down.

Besides two opposite measures of conductance and resistance, we should also add skin potential. When I was introduced to biofeedback way back in 1984,

It’s not all in the mind. The mind has to work through the brain, so problems of the mind also involve the brain. Neurofeedback is am

Most of us spend at least 8 hours of our day at work. If you ask many people, they will say they hate their job. Even if you don’t hate your job there are usually many moments every day at work that you would describe as stressful. It’s nice to visit a therapy office for a biofeedback, talk therapy, or relaxation session where you sit in a nice comfortable chair and listen to relaxing music. For a moment your troubles can seem to disappear and you feel totally relaxed. Th

The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has improved the overall survival of patients with a variety of malignancies. However, the problem of drug resistance to ICI therapy (https://immune-checkpoint.creative-biolabs.com/immune-checkpoint-therapy.htm) remains a major obstacle limiting its clinical application. The development of drug resistance is associated with multiple factors, including the level of PD-L1 expression in tumor cells, the tumor microenvironment, and

In Biofeedback when we talk about B.A.R.T we are not talking about that crazy kid on the popular cartoon series, The Simpsons, we are talking about a very popular protocol which can be widely applied for various conditions. Rather than seeing it as a specific protocol I see it more as a concept. When practitioners are learning biofeedback for the first time, they are usually very interested in learning very specific protocols for the conditions they expect to be working with

Addiction is a chronic and complex disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite the significant efforts of individuals to overcome addiction, relapse remains a common occurrence. Relapse can be discouraging and disheartening, but it's important to understand that relapse is a part of the recovery process. It's also important to understand that drug rehab boulder can be an effective tool in overcoming relapse and maintaining long-term sobriety. In this article, w

Concussions happen in many ways including sports and motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, military blast injuries, and physical assaults. Effective treatment methods are limited. Because a concussion involves an injury to the brain, it makes sense that therapies should involve the brain. Neurofeedback training is a therapy that helps to regulate dysfunctional activity in the brain that might be causing symptoms. When the brain operates it produces electric impulses that c

The hemp plant is a highly revered asset today. Every part of the hemp plant provides nutritional value. Its stalk, le

Is there a need for a stress management book for black people? There are plenty of books on stress management. They should be good enough for everyone no matter what color right? Stress is stress and how to reduce the negative effects should be the same for everyone, you would think. There are a lot of differences in our backgrounds, cultures, experiences, and environments. Some of these have nothing to do with the color of our skin and some do. Some of the sources of stress

Enzyme technology usually refers to chemical reaction technology mainly through the catalytic conversion of enzymes in a limited reaction vessel. The application of enzyme technology has been distributed to all walks of life, such as manufacturing, chemical industry, agricultural industry, environmental resource utilization and exploitation, medicine and other fields. 1 Reaction mechanism of enzyme technologyrnThe working mechanism of enzyme action is usually by reducing the

R. Adam Crane BCIA Senior Fellow, BCIAEEG, NRNP Diplomate I think so and its name is Synchrony. Synchrony training is of great interest to many Neurofeedback practitioners. However, there seems to be a number of opinions about what synchrony means. We hope to add to the confusion by explaining our views. We will also explain why we feel synchrony training is an important part of Neurofeedback’s present and an even more important part of its future. As multiple channel Neuro

Let’s face it, drugs are not the best answer to all medical conditions. No matter what the symptom, there seems to be a medication to treat it. Whether it is indigestion, acid reflux, insomnia, anxiety, depression, hypertension, or headaches, there is a pill for it. For the most part, these drugs only treat the symptoms temporarily. They usually are not getting to the cause of the problem or stopping the symptoms permanently. Behavioral health training is an area that takes

Continuing education in psychology is a process during which psychologists participate in educational programs that are related to the practice of psychology. It is a way for them to learn about the most up- to-date science on treatment, testing, and learning. Psychologists can also learn about changes in laws that may affect them. Just as in most of the professions I can think of, many things change over the years after you complete your schooling and training before startin

Many clinical trials of mRNA-based drugs or vaccines have failed to successfully pass Phase I or Phase II. The reasons behind this are various, including low efficacy of candidate drugs and lower-than-expected clinical risk/treatment benefit profiles. Preclinical safety assessments aim to identify well-tolerated and efficacious LNP-mRNA formulations, and when toxicity is observed, in vivo, in vitro and ex vivo experiments aim to understand the underlying mechanisms and, ideal

At present, genetic diseases are a large category of diseases that affect human health. So far, we can only treat a small part of them, and most of the treatment methods are "treating the symptoms but not the root cause". Therefore, gene therapy that can "cure the root cause" is highly anticipated. Gene therapy is a treatment method that uses modern molecular biology methods to repair disease-causing genes to achieve relief and cure of diseases. The clustered regularly inters

Autoimmune diseases are diseases caused by an autoimmune response. The role of the human immune system is to protect the body from pathogenic microorganisms and cancer cells. When the immune system accidentally attacks your body instead of protecting it, it will cause damage or dysfunction of its own tissues and organs, resulting in autoimmune diseases. As for why the immune system does this, it's unclear why. Autoimmune diseases can involve any organ and affect people of any

Gold is a chemically stable metal with a molar mass of 196.96657 g/m and a density of 19.3 g/cm3. It is often used for decoration and money, but its properties change strangely when its size shrinks to the nanometer level.

The History of ADC Drugs ADC drug history begins with "magic bullet". Physicians have long had high cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs for tumour treatment. As they target cancer cells, chemotherapeutics will also random attack healthy cells and become systemically toxic. Paul Ehrlich came up with the term "magic bullet" in 1913. He pictured fitting chemotherapy drugs on carriers that would shoot to tumour cells – as they do with missiles – to send them to tumor tissue so that

The primary function of atrial natriuretic peptide ( ANP/a>) includes regulation of water and salt metabolism together with vascular volume which helps control blood pressure stability. Additionally, ANP manages endothelial cell permeability and counters the adrenal aldosterone system which allows it to control growth metabolism and influence myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis regulation. Recent research shows that ANP and its receptors are present in several immune cells an

The main focus of drug carrier research today is to identify carriers that are both safe and effective for clinical treatment applications. As treatment strategies advance researchers regularly update drug delivery systems.
