“placed an electroencephalography cap on his skull to measure his brain’s baseline electrical activity”

That’s like analyzing a digital circuit by placing a probe a few inches above the circuit and looking at the waveform, which would be the sum of hundreds of individual signals and would be meaningless.

I don’t get it but anything that improves our health is a good thing.

Just watched the episode of The Schizoid Man, yesterday from the TV series The Prisoner. Way ahead of it’s time in so many ways. They put him through electric shock therapy to change his habits and to get himself back he shorts out a lamp and electrocutes himself. Voila, all programming gone.

Just don’t try it at home with a car battery and some jumper cables!

Up the voltage.

The biologists can’t figure out how we work.

But for a mystic, it’s simple.

By raising your frequency of consciousness as measured by an EEG into the Gamma frequency your perception of reality changes and consciousness becomes physical. You could call me a mystical neuroscientist as due to a brain injury that shut down my GABA inhibitory Basket and Chandelier Neurons, the Pyramidal Neurons firing rate in level 3 of the cortex went way higher than the normal for the human mind.(This changed my perception of reality)

Normal range is 1 to 30 or the Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta frequencies. Then for a few people it goes into the Gamma frequency that goes up to 200 Hz. This was only discovered since digital equipment as the old analog equipment couldn’t measure the higher ranges.

At 30 Hz I begin to lucid dream and do not sleep at all. By 40 Hz, I am the scriptwriter, director and actor in my lucid dream with full control over how it unfolds. In the lower frequencies one must be careful as the range provides a difficult grasp of reality and can lead to delusional thinking.

This is how I read the stored memories of experiences in people’s souls all the way back to conception without a person saying anything. They are physical objects at the higher frequencies of consciousness.

I know, it sounds nuts but I am presenting and demonstrating it at the medical school next month.

By the way, I can usually remove PTSD in a few minutes by merely stripping the negative emotion attached to the perceptual programming memory stored in the person’s soul. They still remember the event but it doesn’t bother them as the emotion is removed. It is permanent.

Higher frequencies of consciousness do not transmit the lower frequency negative emotions. So they may take a section of the brain, either bilateral or hemisphere specific and create an electrical field in and around the cerebral cortex at about 30 Hz. If a person’s brain is stuck in the lower alpha or theta frequencies, this lifts it up into the beta frequency range. Kind of like jump starting your gar to get it going.

Delta 0.5Hz–4Hz Deep sleep
Theta 4Hz–8Hz Drowsiness (also first stage of sleep)
Alpha 8Hz–14Hz Relaxed but alert
Beta 14Hz–30Hz Highly alert and focused
Gamma Over 30 Hz

“It changes the frequencies of the action potential firing rate in specific areas of the brain”

This is very similar to the spark firing rate increasing in your spark plug wires as you increase the RPM’s of the engine.

“Higher frequencies of consciousness do not transmit the lower frequency negative emotions”

I suppose someone has made that correlation.

But at any given moment there must be thousands (probably millions) of signals going from one point to another within the brain and between the brain and the rest of the body.

Can that not be true? Where’s some findings on the individual signals?

Perhaps the frequency measurements have something to do with the power consumption of the brain.
