Mirror, Mirror In The Brain: Mirror Neurons, Self-Understanding And Autism Research
August 8th, 2010
Recent findings are rapidly expanding researchers’ understanding of a new class of brain cells — mirror neurons — which are active both when people perform an action and when they watch it being performed. Some scientists speculate that a ...
METHODS FOR STIMULATION OF BRAIN-WAVE FUNCTION USING SOUND
August 8th, 2010
From previous evidence of effective human biological response using various sounds and sonic vibration frequencies, certain sounds have been found to have a direct effect upon physiological systems (i.e.: pulse rate, respiration, GSR, EMG pupillary dilation, EEG, EKG, body ...
Peering Into The Human Brain With fMRI Techniques
August 8th, 2010
What’s really going on inside your head when you make a decision, make a mistake, or have a few drinks? Researchers are using fMRI techniques to monitor blood flow through parts of the brain as it responds to stimuli. ...
Looking At Neurons From All Sides
August 8th, 2010
A new technique that marries a fast-moving laser beam with a special microscope that look at tissues in different optical planes will enable scientists to get a three-dimensional view of neurons or nerve cells as they interact, said Baylor ...
Neurons Hard Wired To Tell Left From Right
August 8th, 2010
It’s well known that the left and right sides of the brain differ in many animal species and this is thought to influence cognitive performance and social behaviour. For instance, in humans, the left half of the brain is ...
New Breakthrough On Link Between Neuronal Activity And Networking Anatomy
August 8th, 2010
A direct link between activity in the brain’s cortex and the microscopic structure of the neuronal network has been shown and published in the open access journal PLoS ONE on May 14, 2008. Building on an existing body of research, Roberto ...
American researcher has discovered that while praying, the brain re-programs itself
August 8th, 2010
The researcher studied what happens to the brain while praying; its activity, sanity, and performance. He found out that the ‘non-Islamic’ praying has continuous effects on the brain. So, what if we conduct the same experiment on a Muslim ...
‘Mind’s Eye’ Influences Visual Perception
August 8th, 2010
Letting your imagination run away with you may actually influence how you see the world. New research from Vanderbilt University has found that mental imagery—what we see with the “mind’s eye”—directly impacts our visual perception. “We found that imagery ...
‘Telepathic’ Genes Recognize Similarities In Each Other
August 8th, 2010
Genes have the ability to recognise similarities in each other from a distance, without any proteins or other biological molecules aiding the process, according to new research. This discovery could explain how similar genes find each other and group ...
