In the prior section, we pointed out that slow frequencies are broadcast from sets of nuclei near the center of the brain. Neurons in the cortex don’t “make” theta or delta rhythms. They can resonate to them when they are not performing a task, as you might tune in to a transmission on radio, television or internet. […]
Slow Dominant Brain
Ideally a brain can sustain a state of slow dominance when, for example, listening to music, watching a movie or looking for a new idea. Ideally it can shift out and stay out of the state when there are tasks at hand.
When a brain is using a slow-dominant state—or when locked in it—we can describe how that person is likely to appear or feel. […]
Frequency/State Relationships
Perhaps the most important question for anyone interested in changing brain activation patterns would be: Do they relate to how I think, feel, learn, and perform? Can changing one change the other in lasting ways? Let’s start there.
Energy Systems
A brain is not a heart, but both operate with electrical pulses. […]
WBT Plan and Memory Issues
According to the report, the MAIN reason for my memory issues, are low alpha peak frequencies in almost all areas of my brain.
Slow posterior alpha can be related to working memory issues (you forget what you were saying while you are saying it, can’t repeat 7 digits you just heard, etc.) […]
Describing EEG
Describing the Energy Brain
Neurons are constantly receiving and sending information. Hundreds of chemical messages are arriving from other neurons in its networks at any moment. In response, an electro-chemical charge builds up in the cell body until it reaches a critical level. […]
Training to State
What does the mirror show
Feedback is a mirror in which your brain can see and practice changing itself.
Experience is a very powerful form of feedback, but it is inconsistent. Last night my wife laughed at my joke; this morning she got mad. […]
Response to a reader: Self Training
The blog is giving me a 50,000 foot view of what EEG is about. I would like a 10,000 foot view – “EEG for Dummies”, then a 1000 foot view “EEG for the Mad Scientist”, then maybe I will be ready for actual “Practical EEG”.
The blog is intended to bring you in for a landing–starting with the view from 50,000 ft.–pretty quickly. Its focus, as it extends beyond the introduction, will become strictly practical. […]
The Reflection
How We Know Others
Eastern philosophies have, for thousands of years, presented a view of the individual and the universe which has, over the past century begun to appear again in the vision of the newer ideas of physics—those which have post-dated the apple-falls-from-a-tree physics of Newton. […]
Questions about LIFE HEG
Previous post Next post With the introduction of LIFE are any of the original TLC HEG designs still useful or necessary? If so, when would use them, for what? I don’t use the original TLC HEG designs, but they’re still available. I prefer LIFE because it allows me to train in both directions, graph the […]
The Mirror
“Mirrors should think longer before they reflect.” ― Jean Cocteau Mirrors in our Lives There’s an important relationship between a person’s center and his need for mirrors. The better we know ourselves, the less we worry about the reflections of others. Call it self-esteem. The less knowledge we have of ourselves, the more we become dependent […]
