The researchers disrupted the activity in this brain area using what’s called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). And they asked [...]

We can’t touch time, or smell it. Yet it is utterly inescapable. But, research shows, time is – at least partly – something we control in our heads.
Although we rely on other ques when they are available, have you ever woken from a good sleep because you have told yourself you must get up at [...]

…Another fundamental skill that one can learn from NLP Practitioner training is how to re-program our own responses or neural-pathways to create change. The simplest way that you can do is remember a time that you might have lost your temper and reacted very strongly, only to regret what you said or did later. This is a bit like …

Excerpt….
FOR all the fun we have with them, illusions do serious work in illuminating how our brains work, and in particular how perception works. They may also [...]

These are demonstrations surrounding Phantom Limbs. The concept is interesting for understanding our body and the subject of proprioception and how we perceive our bodies.

Derren Brown works with a person’s Phantom Limb and demonstrates how he can touch limbs that don’t even exist. How he [...]

The research into neuroplasticity in neuro-science gives us an insight into what is possible for NLP interventions and generally how the brain functions.
NORMAN DOIDGE, a PSYCHIATRIST in Canada and author of Dr. Paul Bach-y-Rita, had been working on sensory substitution and he found a way to give her a hat that contained something called an [...]

This article talks about the research neuroscience has begun into such things as inhibitory cognitive control networks involving the [...]

This is a link to the transcript of a Catalyst Report which is about the Synaesthesia. This use of the term Synaesthesia is basically the same concept that NLP has had from many years ealier. See our previous article on Synaesthesia to understand a little more about the concept from both an NLP perspective, and [...]

Below are two links to videos of a presentation which is about the Synaesthesia. This use of the term Synaesthesia is basically the same concept that NLP has had from many years ealier. In NLP, the phenomenon of “overlap” has many applications, but specifically it is where [...]

Cautions for fMRI Researchers – evidence that dead Salmon produce some brain activity may start correction and re-checking fMRI studies. Hopefully, all advances in this area will produce greater evidence that can be relied upon for how neural activity can be studied in more depth.

This is a fascinating study of a sever epilepsy patient, who had his left and right brains surgically disconnected, and the expeirments they were able to do with him revealed a lot about the way our two hemispheres normally interact.
