Dr. Michael Persinger believes certain EMPs (exposure decreases melatonin) can be helpful in treating various medical conditions. Certain electromagnetic fields lower melatonin levels, causing convulsions; small seizures can cause hallucinations, about 80 % of people interpret these seizures as a ghostly presence.

Infrasound can also cause imagined events partly due to it causing vision problems; where peaks and troughs of sound waves overlap, or high interference, often in old building with thick walls that do not absorb sound waves, there can be a feeling of cold, or a spiritual presence, which can activate the fight-or-flight response, causing blood to leave the extremities, causing a feeling of the chills, cold.

Low-MAOA gene on X chromosome (makes less monoamine oxidase-A enzyme which reduces metabolization of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine) has highest rate of antisocial behavior! The short form MAOA gene, also known as the low-activity-MAOA gene, is considered to be the violence gene, tends to get expressed if there is child abuse or if there is more methylation “off” switches (less “meth” or dopamine) on the gene.

Disorders should be categorized according to biological causal pathways: Prefrontal Cortex to Amygdale for Anxiety; amygdale to Fusiform Gyrus for Autism; Hippocampus for PTSD; Insula for Panic Disorder; Prefrontal Cortex to Nucleum Accumben for Dopamine reward circuit for ADHD; Attentional Blink to determine if the patient is in a Coma.

30% mortality of every generation caused by parasites. Chickens reared in germ-free environment enjoy about 25% gain in body weight; antibiotics in food is associated with growth gains about 10%. Cytokine likely reduces activity level after a parasitic attack, so the immune system can rebuild itself. Octopamine seems to increase learning, but cytokines can reduce memory consolidation. Yellow, orange and red food, which must come from the diet, increase immune function. Whereas, 14% mortality every generation is due to war. Data generated by chance more than 5% of the time is considered unreliable; whereas an error of 1% is the preferred error rate for MEDICAL FINDINGS!

Serotonin- transport gene with a variation is associated with heighten risk of depression and reduced risk taking.

Cortical arousal levels tend to be more sensitive for introverts and can indicate reduced performance levels.

Extrovert’s dopamine pathways are more active than introverts.

Dopamine-regulating gene is a predictor of risk-taking.

Glucose exhaustion will impact decision making and judgments, willpower, decision-making can get harsher as exhaustion sets in.

Better decisions are made when there is too much information to process according to Dijksterhuis’s study.

The most damaging behaviors occur during stress (stress is defined as situations beyond a persons control).

Programmed responses to stress occur during early childhood.

Control a behavior, also known as Placement Disruption and Negative Placement are part of processing of negative affect.

Dopamine is link to impulsiveness and narrowmindedness; seritonin is linked to calmness and self-transcendence; testosterone is linked to aggressiveness and self-centerness; estrogen is linked to connectiveness and holistic thinking.

Some inaccurately believe pain and suffering is educational and causes redemption through death of the flesh which is similar to Christ dying on the cross and becoming pure spirit (spiritual enlightenment?).

Another possible problem is some who have trust issues may involve themselves in dangerous behavior to reenact past abuse in hope for a better outcome, and that can include Sadomasochism and bondage, even at public clubs.

Any reenacting harmful behavior may indicate an addiction and likely should be treated as a disability.

Even unpleasureable or harmful behaviors can be addictive.

There can be fear of both success and failure.

Both success and failure can be rewarded.

Different parts of the brain respond to different rewards, and often can not function simultaneously.

Multiple personalities may use different part of the brain for different personalities or be in a sleep or unconscious state.

Alpha waves are part of an alert state and to link the conscious to the subconscious; Alpha = Conscious and start at age 6.

Beta waves are fast waves usually for analytical problem solving, judgment, decision making; Beta = Focused and start at age 12.

Delta waves occur in deep sleep as your body locks up to heal and repair itself: Delta = Sleeping and start at infancy.

Theta waves occur during unconsciousness, vivid dream sleep, meditation, peak experiences and creative states; Theta = Imagination and start at age 2. Theta waves linked to conscious attempt to inhibit aggressive responses.

Gamma waves occur during active rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are the only rhythm found in all parts of the brain perhaps for simultaneously processing of information from all parts of the brain. Gamma = Peak. High frequency brain wave called gamma signal becomes active at the time of insights in the right temporal lobe.

Delta waves may be used for intuition and are the slowest waves. Alpha and theta are associated with more relaxed and receptive state of mind; more creative persons tend to use low-frequency brain states. Csikszentmihalyi thinks only about 110 bits of information can be processed per second and a flow state happens in a state of complete concentration where all the brain is usually activated often from memorized behaviors that are done subconsciously and implicitly.

A new behavior is best learned in a relaxed or meditative, state when the brain waves are theta rhythm, which results in complex behaviors, such as learning and memory.

Sleep walking and multiple personality disorder also known as dissociative personality disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) or dissociative fugue likely occurs in Delta wave deep sleep.
