(Sandy Brightman) The Earth has a natural background frequency of 7.83Hz, known as the Schumann Resonance, which corresponds to alpha brain waves in humans. When this frequency is thrown out of balance by other energies (either natural or manmade) we can also go out of balance. Our immune systems can weaken, thus inviting any number of illnesses to enter. NASA had to develop Earth Pulse Generators to mimic this natural frequency in spacecraft after finding astronauts lost tone and body mass living without the background 7.83Hz frequency.

New Research Shows What Too Much Screen Time Does To Developing Brains
(Alanna Ketler) Within the past decade or so, the way we live our lives has drastically changed for many of us. Screens (smartphones, tablets, computers, televisions) have become such integral parts of our lives that we don’t even notice how much of our attention has been given to these devices.
The Temporal Lobe: The Center of Memory and Emotions
(Exploring Your Mind) An injury or change to the temporal lobe can lead to different types of deafness or even depression. Understanding the functions of this part of the brain can help us understand ourselves even better.
Research Shows We Can Heal With Vibration, Frequency & Sound
(Arjun Walia) Cymatics is a very interesting topic. It illustrates how sound frequencies move through a particular medium such as water, air, or sand and as a result directly alter physical matter. There are a number of pictures all over the internet as well as youtube videos that demonstrate how matter (particles) adjust to different sounds and different frequencies of sound.
Human Behavior Follows Probabilistic Inference Patterns
(Neuroscience News) How do human beings perceive their environment and take their decisions? To successfully interact with the immediate environment, for human beings it is not enough to have basic evidence of the world around them. This information by itself is insufficient because it is inherently ambiguous and requires integrating into a particular context to minimize the uncertainty of sensory perception. But, at the same time, the context is ambiguous. For example, am I in a safe or a dangerous place?
Childhood Traumas Can Stay with You for Life – by Messing with Your Hormone Levels, Says Study
(Melissa Smith) Your stress levels today may be influenced by your stressful childhood experiences. A study published in the journal Psychological Science found that people who had a rough childhood tend to have higher stress levels in adulthood. The study’s researchers found that these people have a cortisol pattern that could lead to adverse health outcomes.
Drum Circles Put Pharmaceutical Antidepressants TO SHAME
(Sayer Ji) A new study published in PLoS scientifically validates what so many drum circle participants have already experienced first hand: group drumming produces significant changes in well-being, including improvements in depression, anxiety and social resilience.
Competitive Sperm: Study Reveals It Performs Better in the Presence of Sexual Rivals
(Edsel Cook) Competition tends to bring out the best in people. Turns out, that saying applies to sperm as well. Spanish and Swedish researchers found that spermatozoa can alter themselves to compete with rival sperms from another male of the same species.
A New Way to Know Liars’ Intent
(Neuroscience News) Dartmouth engineering researchers have developed a new approach for detecting a speaker’s intent to mislead. The approach’s framework, which could be developed to extract opinion from “fake news,” among other uses, was recently published as part of a paper in Journal of Experimental & Theoretical Artificial Intelligence.

Pancreatic Enzymes: What They Do and Why You Need Them
(Dr. Edward F. Group) We all have times when we eat too much — holiday meals, for example. While the body can handle occasional overeating, doing it on a regular basis causes more harm than just weight gain. When you eat, your organs must secrete digestive enzymes to break down all that delicious food into useful nutrients. Overeating or drinking to excess strains the pancreas and other organs.

Babies in the Womb May See More than We Thought
(Science Daily) Light-sensitive cells active in the retina even before the fetus can distinguish images may play a larger role in the developing eye and brain than previously thought.
MRI Reveals Brain Damage in Obese Teens
(Science Daily) Obesity in young people has become a significant public health problem. In the U.S., the percentage of children and adolescents affected by obesity has more than tripled since the 1970s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data from the World Health Organization indicates that the number of overweight or obese infants and young children ages five years or younger increased from 32 million globally in 1990 to 41 million in 2016.
Faith, Truth and Forgiveness: How Your Brain Processes Abstract Thoughts
(Neuroscience News) Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have leveraged machine learning to interpret human brain scans, allowing the team to uncover the regions of the brain behind how abstract concepts, like justice, ethics and consciousness, form. The results of this study are available online in the October 29 issue of Cerebral Cortex.
