Brain Disorders
DD4581
Dopamine can be used to cure all brain diseases and a series of patterns to retrain brain connections.
DD4590
Small electric currents and this magnetic field can cure all forms of brain related disorders...all forms! Says to wear this cap devise during deep sleep for three hours 2 times a month. Apparently there is a group of people working on this right now, but they are making many mistakes. If you are working on this, please study these DD's for the correct method. Will also post more details and hopefully a schematic of this 'cap' soon. Also say it can be used for super learning, in which learning is accelerated some 100 times.

Hi Brian,
I was reading the news, and saw this article.
I think it is about this dream.
Fresh from University of Lübeck:
Boosting slow oscillations during sleep potentiates memory
Lisa Marshall1, Halla Helgadóttir1, Matthias Mölle1 and Jan Born1
There is compelling evidence that sleep contributes to the long-term
consolidation of new memories1. This function of sleep has been linked
to slow (<1 Hz) potential oscillations, which predominantly arise from
the prefrontal neocortex and characterize slow wave sleep2, 3, 4.
However, oscillations in brain potentials are commonly considered to be
mere epiphenomena that reflect synchronized activity arising from
neuronal networks, which links the membrane and synaptic processes of
these neurons in time5. Whether brain potentials and their extracellular
equivalent have any physiological meaning per se is unclear, but can
easily be investigated by inducing the extracellular oscillating
potential fields of interest6, 7, 8. Here we show that inducing slow
oscillation-like potential fields by transcranial application of
oscillating potentials (0.75 Hz) during early nocturnal
non-rapid-eye-movement sleep, that is, a period of emerging slow wave
sleep, enhances the retention of hippocampus-dependent declarative
memories in healthy humans. The slowly oscillating potential stimulation
induced an immediate increase in slow wave sleep, endogenous cortical
slow oscillations and slow spindle activity in the frontal cortex. Brain
stimulation with oscillations at 5 Hz—another frequency band that
normally predominates during rapid-eye-movement sleep—decreased slow
oscillations and left declarative memory unchanged. Our findings
indicate that endogenous slow potential oscillations have a causal role
in the sleep-associated consolidation of memory, and that this role is
enhanced by field effects in cortical extracellular space.

Hi Brian,
Some info regarding your dream on learning:

Electric Current During Sleep Boosts Memory
11.06.06, 12:00 AM ET
MONDAY, Nov. 6 (HealthDay News) -- A popular theory suggests that
sleep helps "fix" memories in the brain, and new research finds that
passing a gentle electric current through the sleeping brain improves
memory even more.
In this new study, researchers show that using an electric current at
a particular frequency during non-rapid-eye-movement (non-REM) sleep
can enhance memory about 8 percent.
"Students we tested were better at remembering a vocabulary list with
oscillating electric stimulation," said lead researcher Jan Born, from
the Department of Neuroendocrinology at the University of Luebeck, in
Germany. "Between stimulation we observed increased slow oscillating
activity, which is generated by the brain itself. This intensifies
slow-wave sleep," he said.
His team reported the findings in the Nov. 5 online edition of Nature.
Intensifying slow-wave sleep enhances memory consolidation, Born said.
Electric stimulation intensifies the brain's own slow oscillating
activity, which drives the replay of recent memories. "This replay is
the way memory is enhanced and retained," Born said.
In the study, Born's team applied electric stimulation to the scalps
of 13 medical students who had been given a list of words to memorize
before sleeping. While the students slept, five jolts of the current
-- oscillating at frequencies similar to those seen naturally in
slow-wave sleep -- were given over half an hour.
The researchers found that, at that frequency, students had an 8
percent better memory of the words on the list. However, if the
frequency of the current or the phase of sleep in which it was given
was changed, there was no improvement in memory.
It is possible that electric stimulation might enhance the memory of
older patients or patients with Alzheimer's, Born said. "We can
improve the function of slow-wave sleep and therefore memory," Born
said. "It could also have an application in sleep disturbances,
because this stimulation also improves sleep."
One expert thinks that these findings add to the evidence that sleep
is involved in memory and learning.
"This is an interesting article that buttresses the important argument
that sleep is an active, not a passive, state," said Dr. Robert D.
Vorona, an associate professor in the Division of Sleep Medicine at
Eastern Virginia Medical School. "We are beginning to understand that
specific stages of sleep and regions of the brain likely play a role
in different types of learning."
In addition, it raises the question as to whether one might eventually
be able to alter the electrical and chemical aspects of sleep to
optimize learning, Vorona said. "For now, however, both adequate
amounts of study and sleep are important for learning," he said.
Another expert isn't sure that memory and sleep are connected.
"I am skeptical about sleep-learning studies in general," said Jerome
M. Siegel, a professor of psychiatry and member of the Brain Research
Institute at the University of California Los Angeles Medical Center.
"This is a popular idea now, but it doesn't fit with a lot of other
data."
Siegel noted that sleep-deprivation studies have shown that lack of
sleep has no effect on memory of things such as word lists, names or
events. "In sleep, brain metabolism is very low," Siegel said. "The
idea that the brain is constructing memories at a time of reduced
metabolism is not very compelling."
In cross-species studies, Siegel has also found there is no
correlation between learning and the amount of sleep. "The animal that
sleeps the most is the bat; the animal that sleeps the least is the
elephant; I don't think that people think that bats are more
intelligent than elephants," he said.
And no correlation between sleep and intelligence has been found in
human studies, either, Siegel added.
"If you look at human sleep, in relation to other animals, both total
sleep and REM sleep, the percent of sleep devoted to REM sleep is not
unusual," he said. "If you are egotistical enough to believe that
humans are the smartest species, it sure doesn't show in our sleep."
Sleep may be involved in memory consolidation, Siegel said, but it is
not essential to strong memories.

Bio Cybernetics Revisited
by
G. Harry Stine
When Jerry Pournelli and I started to write these columns as a
vis-a-vis experiment, we hoped that sooner or later one of us would
write something that the other could tee off on and thus get a good
controversy going that would present "alternate views." It hasent
worked out that way because Jerry and I have discovered that we think
very much alike on most matters. We have not been able to stir up
controversy between one another. But we did stir up controversy among
the readers.
When I wrote the columns on biocybernetics in the May and July 1979
issues, my objective was more or less than science reporting with some
synthesis included. I wanted to point out that a true interface
between human brains and electronic computers was not only possible
but that the basic experiments have been done and the foundation
technologies already existed, albeit in the case of the Flanagan
neurophone the data had been generally unknown for 16 years. I
reported on the basis of what I knew at that time. I requested that no
one write for additional data because I didnt have any additional data
at that time. I do now.
These two columns have resulted in an inordinate amount of mail from
readers which makes the editor happy because he knows people are
reading this. Some of the letters were anticipated, some were not.
Some were from people who were deaf and wanted the Flanagan neurophone
at any price. Others wanted the neurophone to use in attempts to
contact loved family members in a coma. There were the usual letters
from Ph.Ds who should know better than to make some of the statements
they did. And I got letters with real up to date information...
You may obtain copies of his two neurophone patents by writing to the
U.S. Patent Office and ordering Patent No. 3,393,279 granted July 16,
1968 and Patent No. 3,647,970 granted March 7, 1972.
The rights to Patent No. 3,393,279 are owned by Intelectron, Inc. of
New York City. The FDA will not permit it to be marketed because it
uses a low frequency r-f carrier, and they are very sensitive these
days about the biological effects of r-f raditation.
But Pat Flanagan is an inventor. With his original patent rights in
the hands of another company and with an FDA ban on its production,
Flanagan developed the second neurophone device covered by Patent No.
3,647,970 which does not use an r-f carrier and does not involve high
voltages. At the behest of the Department of Defense, the Department
of Commerce placed Flanagan's new device under secrecy order No.
756,124 dated August 28, 1968. Flanagan was able to get this secrecy
order rescinded in 1972 to permit the patent to be issued.
I sat in Flanagan's study and listened to the new neurophone on July
26, 1979. It works even better than the original one. It operates from
eight Type AA alkaline penlight cells. The audio signal is double
differentiated and converted to a 60 volt square wave which is then
run through a zero crossing detector. The sensor electrodes are one
inch diameter plates made from lead zirconium titanate insulated on
one side with epoxy that also seals the attachment of the lead from
the neurophone.
With one electrode placed on the soft skin of my calf and the other on
my chest, I heard the audio information from the tape recorder input
in my head. I listened to both speech and music, and the fidelity was
outstanding. I had a cassette tape recorder running two feet from me
while this was going on; there is no evidence of the audio information
recorded on the cassette by the recorder; I was the only entity
hearing the neurophone, and it was therefore not producing and sound
waves that the microphone of the recorder could pick up.
As I knew 17 years ago, the Flanagan neurophone works. I dont give a
doodly damn what all you bloody experts out there have presumptuously
stated in your outraged fan letters to me. I am forced to repeat the
immortal words of Dr. J. C. Warren voiced after performing the first
surgery with a patient under ether anesthetic administrated by Dr.
William Thomas Green Morton in Boston on October 16, 1846:
"Gentlemen, this is no humbug!"
For the benefit of all you who wrote me, I gave your letters to
Flanagan. There is no need for me to be in the loop. There is no need
for Flanagan to defend himself nor does he need help in doing so; he
has a device that works. In the eyes of some sober, respected
academicians, Flanagan is perhaps flamboyant and different, but that
must not be allowed to detract from the fact that he is a successful
inventor and, in common with many others of his unconventional and
freewheeling nature in the history of science and technology, working
on the fringes of scientific research in areas that others can't or
won't touch.
The most fascinating aspect of this whole affair has been the
confirmation and terrible realization that the human race apparently
has not progressed beyond the state of affairs a century ago when
"legitimate" scientist dug in to defend their sacred turf....and made
damned fools of themselves in the process. They also retarded the
development of technology that would have relieved human suffering and
generally improved the human condition. These scientific brahmins
still exist; they are no different from the predecessors of a hundred
years ago; and they exhibit an appalling lack of knowledge and
understanding of the history of their own field of expertise!
Arthur C. Clarke's law is still very much in force.
Jerry Pournelle was 100% correct in his June 1979 "The Alternate View."
I would like to extend my profound thanks and grateful appreciation to
those scientific brahmnis who wrote to me and to the editor about the
neurophone and the human computer interface. You have greatly
contributed to the contents of my "Utter Bilge" file. This is my
collection of presumptuous statements from people who should know
better than to make such statements in the first place. The file title
derived from in infamous statement of Sir Richard Van Der Riet Wolley:
"Space travel is utter bilge!"
Scientific research and technical progress is not and has never has
been the exclusive turf of any select group of people. There has
always been a role for the amateur investigator, and still exists
today. Before the "official" establishment of any new area of
scientific endeavor, everyone who works in that area must, by
definition, be an amateur. Even in the established fields of
scientific endeavor, important discoveries have been made by amateur
investigators. Good scientists and I have the pleasure of knowing many
would never reject out of hand any amateur findings and will react
with enthusiasm and interest to such findings. It is only poor
scientists who are insecure that will react negatively. Would there
were more good scientists!
Bioelectronics today is about the same situation as electricity about
a century ago. The field is ripe for experimentation. Certainly there
is danger; there always is. But that is no reason for suppressing
information, as one PhD. correspondent demanded be done, for fear of
someone electrocuting himself by building a neurophone in his basement
shop. People still get hurt in steam boiler explosions. As a matter of
fact, people still get burned handling the ancient technology of a
campfire. These accidents merely strengthen the statement of Herbert
George Wells, "History is a race between education and catastrophe,"
but down on the personal level.
To paraphrase Harold Laski, science by experts means, after a time,
science in the interest of experts.....
Enjoy,
Jim
