Have you heard about bisphenol A (BPA)? Disturbingly, it not only affects the body organs but also has the capacity to rewrite the brain!

Who do you trust – really trust – to have your back in today’s world? For that matter, do you consider yourself to be trustworthy?

Stevenson collected over 2,000 detailed cases, mostly from India, and this is where his work turned to a different kind of evidence.

It seems that during both sleep and an induced unconscious state, the polarity of the direct current reverses, as measured in the brain.

If this theory is correct, then rational thought and sustained memory may be something animals picked up rather than developed by themselves

We all have it, a feeling that comes upon us without knowing why, telling us something is not going to work out or is too good to miss.

We either revert to choosing that which we already know, make a gut-based choice, or walk away without buying anything.

Is the mind of a creative genius different from yours or mine, or is there some trick that they employ which makes all the difference?

Conscious perception has some strange quirks.

But as a species, are we really like this, or is pessimism uncalled for? Are we instead, seeing a tipping-point; a game changer in play?

So, just how effective are signs, symbols or pictograms for communicating information and how can we enhance their meaning?

In other words, the mind here, in the octopus, is cooperative, rather than based on the human picture of a hierarchical corporation.

Our subconscious mind latches onto data that accompanies any moment in time...and it gets tangled into our thinking process.

This is a two-way street though: recording brain activity and sending triggers into the brain.

This is a look at how body and brain chemistry affect the mind, and touches on what can be done when the result is less than satisfactory.

A common way to explore this theory is to visualise the universe (current materialistic and time-base reality) as a loaf of sliced bread.

Do we need to rely on chemicals, behavioural triggers or cues, or even memories to feel good? Can the brain's pleasure centre be hacked?

From birth, and before, we turn data into information using our sensory system. This allows us to create order out of chaos.

The default mode network is arguably the most important discovery made about the brain in the last two decades.

New research in the area of psychology has uncovered a 'light triad' of personality characteristics. Let's explore this.
