Description: Following
studies on the morphological and chemical characteristics, the brains of
intelligent rats, evaluated by various trials, such as the output of
labyrinths, started a line of research in which it was to determine the
relationship between intelligence , training and electrical waves
associated with the stimuli produced by the interaction with the
environment on the functioning of the brain.
It was found that:
-
The brain grows because of the
stimulus, whether natural or artificial
-
The brain grows because of the stimulus, whether
natural or artificial
-
The stimulation results in an electrical
characteristic vibration frequency
-
It is possible to artificially stimulate the
brain by machines
-
The left brain "drag" by the stimulus, resonating
with the frequency equal to this
-
The states of mind present frequency electrical
vibration characteristics
-
You can play the mental states directly or
indirectly by stimulating the brain with the wave frequency
associated with that state.
This led to a revolution in the field of applications
of this technique, since it can inter-act directly with the inner part
of the individual, without invading their body chemistry, producing
dramatic effects at the level of:
-
Intellectual coefficient increases
-
Suppression of anxiety, depression and phobias
-
Termination addictions
-
Weight control
-
Super-Learning and Learning
-
Peak mental performance, physical activity and
high competition
-
Stimulation of creativity
The application fields are expanding at an incredible
speed, to the extent they have been designed new and more perfect
machines to stimulate and map inside the brain.
-
Other equipment can be mentioned the following:
-
Stimulators with light and sound
-
Cranial electrical stimulator
-
Neurosearch 24
-
Graham enhancer
-
Mind mirror
The amount of equipment is extensive and involved in
this proposal is intended to stimulate the creation of a center where
can learn to operate such equipment and investigating its effects and
possible applications in the local environment.
Introduction
Rich versus poor environment
By 1992, at the University of California, was
available to skillful families and raw rats that had been selected for
over 40 years (about 100 generations). It started out looking like this
difference was reflected at the level of morphology and brain chemistry
in animals.
The skillful rat cerebral cortex had in its higher content of acetyl
cholinesterase and other neurotransmitters, compared with raw rat.
Similar results associated with a qualitative increase in the complexity
of the cerebral cortex, as had been observed since 1780 by Dr. Michael
Gaetano comparing trained animals against untrained captive animals who
observed that differences at the level of complexity and convolutions of
the cortex, were caused by the difference in the training or experience
of the animals.
These results led to the Berkeley scientists design the experiment
environment rich versus poor environment.
After putting litters of rats, genetically identical, in environments
that differ only by the quality and quantity of sensory stimulation for
a period of 30 days, Rosenzweig and Diamond doctors found large
differences in physical and chemical level in the brains of animals in
their experiment.
The scientists wanted to know whether the results obtained by Gaetano
and themselves, were due to training, genetic or otherwise, and
therefore tested the environment rich versus the poor
Results of experiment
In the article by Scientific American, February 1972
were analyzed, the results, then in a very cautious way, were
extrapolated to generate new lines of research in humans, for example
comparing the auditory regions of the brains of musicians versus those
of normal people.
In the morphological appearance
-
Synaptic junctions 50% larger
-
Thicker axons
-
Increased number of terminal arms
-
Increased number of spines
-
More thicker and branched dendrites
What causes these differences?
Were discarded include:
-
Handling
-
Voltage
-
Genetic factors
It was found that the main reason for the change was
greater chemical activity of the cellular environment generated by the
increased electrical activity that came in turn a greater number of
sensory stimuli
Upon discovering that the experience can cause radical changes in the
morphology and brain chemistry, we immediately asked if it is possible
to transform the cases where there is already a natural conditioning.
For example, what if a gross litter trained rats in the enriched
environment?
After 30 days of training, rats improved their gross intelligence and
brain characteristics to achieve intelligent rats without special
training..
In other words, we are seeing that old law which states: «ORGAN
THAT IS NOT USED ATROPHY» and vice versa «ORGAN THAT IS
STIMULATED DEVELOPS»
Electrical brain waves
How is the electrical activity of the brain?
Is this activity can cause artificially by machines?
The activity of the sense organs, resulting in an electrical stimulus
that reaches the brain to specific parts of the cortex. There, each
neuron responds with voltage between 1 and 5 micro volts to stimuli that
arrive. The overall set of neurons produce an electric potential noise
to 500 microvolt, whose frequency is determined by the type and amount
of stimuli and that can be classified as described above.
Frequency versus brain activity
Many possible correlations between EEG and activity
of the person were investigated, becoming established correspondences as
follows:
-
Creativity 12 Hz alpha waves
-
Concentration 4 Hz theta waves
-
Lack of binding alpha
-
Bright Ideas Coherence, phase
-
Meditation 8 Hz Total consistency
Evoked potentials of the brain
By 1979 the scientist David Reagan, University of
London, investigating how sensory stimuli in the brain are handled,
shows that the components of a visual or auditory signal periodically,
can be extracted from the background noise of the brain by use of a
system based on Fourier waveform analysis technique or by adding
transient stimulation device.
Each cell contributes its own voltage to show total electricity of the
brain, finding a clear relationship between electrical stimulus and
response. These responses are called evoked potentials (from 1 to 5
microvolt) and can be observed through the scalp with a system of
statistical analysis of EEG waves or by Fourier series.
The important fact is that if we take a periodic visual stimulus to our
eyes, an electric wave of the same frequency will play inside our brain.
This wave could be detected and in fact was detected by Dr. Reagan.
The fact is transcendental, it shows that may occur in an electrical
signal accurately within the brain using external stimuli, and with the
same frequency at the same
In a parallel investigation, neuroscientist W Gray Walter discovered
that when strobe flashes are sent to closed eyes, the brain responds by
generating an electric wave of the same frequency as the stimulus, not
only in downtown areas and olive groves associated with vision, but in
the whole brain
In the course of other research, Dr. Tomas Budzinsky of Behavioral
Medicine Associates Clinic of Denver, also found that if they
artificially stimulated the brain with a given frequency, you could play
not only your own power wave, but also the state he was associated with
this, as the brain left "drag" by the stimulus.
Psychotropic stimulation machines
By 1982, the neuro psychiatrist Dr. Dennis Georges,
invented the first device of light and sound stimulation called "Opto
Acoustical Synchro Energizer" more commonly known as MEGABRAIN. Later,
in 1986 the writer and researcher of these issues, Michael Hutchison, in
1986 published his first book collection on the subject, immediately
becoming the center of attention of many researchers. His extensive
knowledge and personal experimentation with many of the teams allowed to
interconnect several research paths with surprising results. Hutchison
becomes the catalyst of much research and become the guru of the
movement.
Stimulation machines, multiplied, and many researchers smaller companies
garage type began to bring products to market, facing FDA approval of
their equipment, which was finally achieved in most cases. He currently
has a wide variety of equipment, including:
-
Inner-Stimulators Power-Brain Waves
-
Toys Light and Sound - L & S
-
Cells of sensory deprivation
-
Cranial Electrical Stimulator
-
Lenses "Ganzeffect"
-
Graham enhancer
-

"Mind Mirror"
Bio feedback:
Some machines were made so that the experimenter can
observe a color monitor, the predominant frequency of an area of your
brain. When prompted, you relax and color mixing begins to change the
person realizes that it can influence on your brain and your state at
will.
From the above machines, several of them were made so that the
experimenter could observe the predominant frequency when it ran a zone
of the brain. When the subject is connected to the machine, seen in a
sectional view monitor and color of a brain. Then he asks to relax and
immediately mixing colors, begins to change to pale green and blue warm
reds. In the moment when realizes that his brain that is being viewed on
the monitor, again appear corresponding to excitation red zones, the
fact that in the patient. At this point begins the Bio feedback, to
treat the patient to return to cold and pale colors. By the time you get
it, the subject realizes that is deeply relaxed and the subject begins
to enjoy a new capacity of your brain. States of mind to suit our will
In the beginning, these machines began to be used as aids in the process
of lowering tensions, such as relaxing, but quickly observed, which
could be used to modify certain patterns of human behavior related to
the proportions in which they were different waves inside the brain.
It is at this point that applied research really begins. Begin to
unravel the meaning of each type of wave and mixing the quantities of
each in suitable proportions, resulting in proven varied improving
mental processes. We are on the verge of producing mental states, we
want a proper mix of sensory stimuli.
Other applications
Immediately began a race to identify other potential
applications, quickly finding an echo in the following areas:
-
Normal memory and learning
-
Super-learning. Lozanov Method
-
Altered states of consciousness
-
Suggestions on psychological therapies
More and more applications...
Two main streams of application were distinguished.
The patient dealing with clinical applications, many problems trying
psychic and psychological origin in some cases, or improving personal
performance in fields as diverse as physics competition for high
performance and language learning in really short time (less than 1
month). This gives rise to the field of psychotechnology.
