Mind

  In their most common sense,  thought  and  thinking  refer to  cognitive  processes that occur independently of direct  sensory stimulation . Core forms include  judging ,  reasoning ,  concept formation,  problem solving , and  deliberation . Other processes, such as entertaining an  idea ,  memory , or  imagination , are also frequently considered types of thought. Read on

  What is the most fundamental form of thought?  In Tibetan Buddhism, there is the concept of the Three Vajras, or The Three Doors, which are body, speech, and mind.  The human mind can be said to think in the sensory world (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell), to think in recollections of memories from the past (which is still a sensory experience), and to think in the conjured content of the imagination untouched by memory.  These emanations express themselves through the verbal language of speech (which is still a sensory experience of sound; vocal intonations, pitch, rhythm, etc…), and through the non-verbal language of the body (which is still a sensory experience of sight; posture, gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, etc…) Is thought fundamentally empirical, linguistic, emotional, rational, instinctive, or something else entirely? For example: When people think in images, are they really rooted in words; or when people speak in words, they are rooted in i...

  The mechanisms by which respiratory stimuli induce arousal from sleep and the clinical significance of these arousals have been explored by numerous studies in the last two decades.  Evidence to date suggests that the arousal stimulus in nonrapid eye movement sleep (NREM) is related to the level of inspiratory effort rather than the individual stimuli that contribute to ventilatory drive.  A component of the arousal stimulus proportional to the level of inspiratory effort may originate in mechanoreceptors either in the upper airway or respiratory pump.  Medullary centers responsible for ventilatory drive may also send a signal proportionate to the level of drive to higher centers in the brain which are responsible for arousal.  Thus, the arousal stimulus may consist of multiple components, each increasing as inspiratory effort increases.  The level of effort triggering arousal is an index of the arousability of the brain (arousal threshold).  A deepe...

  Neuro-biology of Sleep By Dr.Manvir Bhatia & Ananya Sleep is an important and essential part of our lives. It rejuvenates us from all the fatigue.  However, sleep is a very complex phenomenon. It mainly consists of alternating phases of the rapid eye movement (REM) and the non-eye eye (NREM) phase.  The NREM is the first phase of sleep and consists of three phases followed by REM sleep.  The first stage of NREM sleep lasts only for the initial ten minutes when we start falling asleep. Muscle activity and eye movement start slowing down.  The second and third stages are those of deep sleep. The brain waves become slower, and  during stage 3, there is the presence of delta waves.  This is followed by REM sleep, during which brain activity is the same as that in the awakened state. It is characterized by heavy breathing, an increased heart rate, rapid eye movement, and muscle atonia.  Read on…

  Hypnotherapy is a type of psychological therapy that uses hypnosis to help treat certain mental and physical health conditions. It can also be used to change habits. Some therapists also use hypnosis to increase the effectiveness of other psychological treatments, or pain management. However, they may describe the treatment they are giving you by its usual name (such as CBT) rather than calling it hypnotherapy. You can also perform hypnosis on yourself, which is called self-hypnosis. hypnosis-and-hypnotherapy

The unconscious mind is a fully automatic function and, unlike our subconscious mind, is not available for introspection or analysis. This part of our mind is where we hold our initial impressions, base instincts and first experiences, our memories, and the connections we hold between ourselves and the world around us. Sub conscious  This secondary system regulates everything in our daily lives and is a barrier that our mind puts up to stop us from becoming overwhelmed by the continuous barrage of information through our senses as we interact with the world.

  The first of these insights involved the types of cues that trigger involuntary memories. Laughland’s recorded observations about what was going on around him as the memories popped into his head revealed that “dynamic” rather than “static” environmental cues are more likely to trigger IAMs. In other words, new or unexpected details encountered on his trips (e.g. varying weather conditions, or songs on the radio) were far more likely to trigger memories than those details that were always present (e.g. buildings or road signs). This finding highlights the somewhat ironic role that novelty plays in triggering autobiographical memories in our daily lives, with new details in our environment eliciting old memories from our past. Memory "Chains" Another interesting finding of the study involved memory “chaining,” in which memories are triggered by a preceding memory rather than by some other internal or external cue. Such memories can often be perceived as new occurrences, but ...
