1. Ivon Alexander Nestoly on Emerging Neurosociety Driven by Neuronanotechnology
I was interested as a ginny-pig, or as a victim(one could say), how would you remove any type of neurotechnological devices, chips, or anytype of implant? Just curious, and is it safe to remove, or is going to make me have a mind of a four year old....jk? But really, and if so, how soon, and how is the procedure? ›››

This struck a nerve! No knee jerk reaction re: NERV, but I'd keep an open mind before I would invest. A decision to invest in NERV is not a black and white issue because there are so many shades of gray. This is (or is not) spinal tap? ›››

7. Terri on The End of Abuse - Recognizing Addiction as a Disease Act of 2007
Disease is a condition which if not treated is chronic and deadly. Addiction fits into that category, it is time to catch up with reality and stop the denial. This is not a moral but a health issue. There but for the Grace of God goes Chuck... ›››

8. Doug McKee on Economic Burden of Chronic Diseases Report Released
"chronic diseases (cancers, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, mental disorders and pulmonary conditions)", most of which are direct results of negative emotions from faulty thinking habits. We need a totally new mental health paradigm; one founded on current science, not on one still trying to make 100 year old theorie work. That will decrease the global healthcare burden substantially. Thanks, Doug ›››

11. Mike on The End of Abuse - Recognizing Addiction as a Disease Act of 2007
Chuck - The medical field has been calling addiction - especially alcoholism - a disease since the 1960's. Using your logic, heart "disease" is also just a behavior: There was at once a "choice", for example, to not exercise and/or to not eat in a healthy way. These choices could result in a lifestyle, that, over time, had physiological consequences that result into a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition. Addiction works the same way. By the time someone fits the diagnostic cat ›››

12. Chuck on The End of Abuse - Recognizing Addiction as a Disease Act of 2007
Addiction is not a disease. It is a behavior. Tying a behavior to a gene to call it a disease is simply an oversimplification of human biology. What next... I'm sorry I didn't mean to kill him your honor. My genes made me do it. We simply do not know enough about the field of genetics to conclude that genes control behavior. I think that in the end we will find out that our genes do not work in isolation and that they are not locked into a single outcome such as... this gene is the gene res ›››

The God Spot and the Black Hole at the center of the Milkway Galaxy? How do I know? Well its written in the english languauge, that is the effects of stellar space and the violent, speeding activity of planets circling around the Blackhole. Nothing comes out of the Blackhole, but its magnetic activity what affects language. For example the word Religion? Can you identify the letter for Earth, a letter for Spiral Galaxy and letter for the Blackhole. All the other letters relate to plantery activi ›››

14. Dirk on Why Do We Remember Pop Songs? - Neuroesthetics Wants to Know
Re: "But why timbre? Pop songs replayed with different "timbres" (other instruments) are popular and catchy the same." No, I believe the alternate versions without the classic timbre are usually derided. Re: "Good point, why timbre? Someone could mangle out "Benny and the Jets" on a Moog, for example....and it would still be "Benny and the Jets" :)" It would be Benny and the Jets, but people probably wouldn't like it or remember it. Timbre is the "flavor of the sound" and pop music relies ›››

God Spot? Well there is the human brain, which is not isolated from light and radiation from the outside world by the skull. The God Spot, well that would be the distant influence of the Black Hole in the center of the Milkyway Galaxy. Religion is to protect mankind from such stellar influences on the brain. ›››

22. Martijn Arns on Depression Targeted with Neurodevices Not Drugs
rTMS is indeed quite a promising tool for disorders such as depression and tinnitus. We are currently offering rTMS treatment for depression, and are seeing dramatic improvements on BDI scales within 10 treatment sessions. I think rTMS will even be more promising when it is used as one of the first treatment choices, rather then at the end of the line (i.e. when drugs, ECT etc. have all failed). We also notice no side effects at all. The only question now is, for how long will rTMS be effective ›››

25. ken on Briefing the U.S. Intelligence Community on Neurotech
9/11/07 I tend to believe that pharmacuetical research should play a part in Neurotechnology. The human brain can do some amazing things on certian kinds of neuro-drugs related to higher levels of functioning. This includes the ability to influence the unconscious biofields of other human beings, by creating more personal space or a open area around an individual on a neuro-drug, in relation to other people in the vicinity. Scientists should be receptive to a pharmacuetical approach to ›››

26. Deborah Pocino on Neurotech for Stroke Seminar Tuesday at MIT's McGovern Institute
My brother is 43 years old and went numb over most of his body Tuesday, August 28. He is 6.0' tall and 220 pounds. Doctors cannot figure out what has happened, despite several MRI's, blood tests, and internists. He will go home tomorrow. He is beginning to lift his arms and can speak-lucidly as well. Doctors do not believe it is Bells palsy, an infection, an injury, or a stroke. They just do not know. The diagnosis changes often. His neck hurt prior to the onset. Aspirin did not help to our know ›››

I started taking Cinnamon capsules about 4 months ago because of my high cholesterol. The doctor wanted to put me on some type of medicine and I’m the type of person that would rather treat something with a natural remedy rather than treat something with a prescription drug. Before I started taking Cinnamon my cholesterol level was 245 and now it is at borderline level of 210. The longer I take the cinnamon the better my Cholesterol gets. You can find Cinnamon almost everywhere but I order mine ›››

39. Busy on Two Billion Affected By All Brain-Related Illness
What is our agenda? When you come into contact with a given person, jot down their gender, height, weight, age range, race, religion, nationality and put those programs in their heads and send them back to their groups. The rest will take care of itself. Why are we doing this? Because, some of them have innacurate information and abberated programs in their mind and feel there is some short cut to the whole thing. ›››

I assume this was intended as humor, along the lines of the microwaved peeps and high velocity egg experiments, but...I notice from the pictures and commentary, they never GROUNDED the helmets. Of course this isn't going to stop anything. Any wave energy collected by the foil is going to be directed directly through their body. Just as their experiment confirmed. This is fairly simple stuff. Probably most of us have made aluminum foil antennas for television sets at one time or another. The wh ›››
