Gamma Brain waves with Gammadrone
Posted by: | CommentsIs there a brain waves pattern associated with heightened state of concentration? Yes, it is the gamma state (40 Hz to 70 Hz). Only five years ago, Binaural Beats CD’s with gamma brain waves were so rare. Then Dr. Jeffrey Thompson did his Gamma CD, and later many other people launched their own Gamma CD . Immrama with the Focus CD, Brainsync also with a CD called Focus.
I’m currently listening to Gammadrone from J.S Epperson, it is a good gamma brain wave CD. You can use gamma brain waves to help to concentrate when you study or do some computer work like blogging this post! If you are into accelerated learning such as PhotoReading, you could use certain yogic breathing that will cause you to produce Alpha brain waves and use the CD to also produce Gamma brain wave with these mixed brain waves patterns also called “Awakened Mind” (See Anna Wise book) , Photoreading and even remote healing becomes very easy.
You can get Gammadrone for as low as $1 dollar on Mellowcore.
In this video, you can listen to the Quantum Edit version. Enjoy!
The more a person smokes, the lower their IQ ?
Posted by: | CommentsAnother funny study.
(Reuters) Dr. Mark Weiser and colleagues from Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer found that young men who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day or more had IQ scores 7.5 points lower than non-smokers.
“Adolescents with poorer IQ scores might be targeted for programs designed to prevent smoking,” they conclude in the journal Addiction.
While there is evidence for a link between smoking and lower IQ, many studies have relied on intelligence tests given in childhood, and have also included people with mental and behavioral problems, who are both more likely to smoke and more likely to have low IQs, Weiser and his team noted.
Nap for boosting brain learning power , really ?
Posted by: | CommentsAccording to a BBC story Volunteers who slept for 90 minutes during the day did better at cognitive tests than those who were kept awake. The results were presented at a conference in California. A UK-based expert said it was hard to separate the pure “memory boosting” effects of sleep from those of simply being less tired.
he wealth of study into the science of sleep in recent years has so far failed to come up with conclusive evidence as to the value of a quick “siesta” during the day. The latest study, from the University of California at Berkeley, suggests that the brain may need sleep to process short-term memories, creating “space” for new facts to be learned.
In their experiment, 39 healthy adults were given a hard learning task in the morning – with broadly similar results, before half of them were sent for their siesta. When the tests were repeated, the nappers outperformed those who had carried on without sleep.
Checks on brain electrical activity suggested that this process might be happening in a sleep phase between deep sleep, and dreaming sleep, called stage 2 non-rapid eye movement sleep, when fact-based memories are moved from “temporary storage” in the brain’s hippocampus to another area called the pre-frontal cortex.
Brain ‘inbox’
Dr Matthew Walker, who led the study, reported at the AAAS conference in San Diego, said: “Sleep not only rights the wrong of prolonged wakefulness, but, at a neurocognitive level, it moves you beyond where you were before you took a nap.
Wendi Friesen at Wendi.com has a CD called Power Nap, it has 3 tracks using hypnosis and binaural beats to create power nap that leave you refreshed after. You can learn more on her site.
Brain scan reveals how people rate attractiveness and decide its value
Posted by: | CommentsThey are a lot of funny researches out there. I like this one about how brain scan reveals how people rate attractiveness and decide its value.
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 17 (HealthDay News) — New brain-scan research is providing insight into how you decide what things are worth.
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center found that specific areas of the brain were activated in male college students as they evaluated female faces. The findings, they report, suggest that the brains were doing two things: figuring out the quality of the experience of viewing the faces and determining what they would trade to see a particular face again.

(US NEWS)….Most experts now advocate a “use-it-or-lose-it” approach to mental functioning.
“We found a number of years ago that people who engaged in cognitive activities had better functioning and perspective than those who did not,” said Dr. Richard Lipton, a professor of neurology and epidemiology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City and director of the Einstein Aging Study. “Our study is often referenced as the crossword-puzzle study — that doing puzzles, writing for pleasure, playing chess and engaging in a broader array of cognitive activities seem to protect against age-related decline in cognitive function and also dementia.”
The new study takes the use-it-or-lose-it concept into the 21st century. Read More→
