Excellent work. This field of study and therapy should open up a whole new way of treating psychiatric disorders which could focus on resolution vs. masking. I hope that she and her colleagues receive the necessary funding to continue this important work.
Very interesting topics. I Googled Selen to see what critics may say. I didn't find anything contrary to her work. I'm surprised she was able to do tests with LSD. I've heard many people say hallucinogenics helped with their overall mental health. Joe Rogan talks about this often.
I think that the questioner has a misunderstanding, or perhaps I do. But the music is not affecting the frequency of the brain states itself with its own frequencies but rather by its emotional trigger. The brain states and there corresponding frequencies’ activity is increased as well as the number of brain states. So I think that a study observing brain states while looking at art would be the study worth doing as flashing lights would not trigger an emotional response like the music or art. I think the misunderstanding is from the example at the start. It makes it seem that the music is affecting the brain like the tones affect the plate and sand, but the plate and sand represent what is already happening in your brain and the frequency, the “tone” that the brain is producing. I’m not certain though.
@@Maniac.45 While I generally agree with your assumptions (I'm no expert), I think light could also potentially trigger brain states. Given the known experiential traits of synesthesia, where people can see sound and hear color, light could have a profound impact on state. Think about psychedelic videos or the impact of a light show at a concert. The latter is certainly an uncontrolled environment and may be difficult to study, but just like a combination of audible frequencies equals something musical like a chord, orchestrated light may produce similar effects. I'm definitely not certain of this either, but it is fascinating to consider.
very interesting. the 2018 gives a great review of the impact of this work in understanding the brain function; the 2016 paper gives the foundations to understand the eigen-decomposition. cool stuff.
That idea of the edge between order and chaos is exactly what i was shown on 1100ug. I looked at this perfectly balanced system that was continuously moving in and out of itsself. The start is the beginning and the end is the start. This presentation shows that lsd is chemically inducing this process in your brain and not just showing you an imaginary system. that makes so much sense.
29:03 No the music 'itself does not have an effect. It is the process by which our brain turns sound into music. Hearing is the only process where the human brain gets extra electricity for doing it. The brain receives actual electrical energy when the eardrum beats, this is the only process in the human body that does this. It is basically a net gain for the brain where as things like sight are using extra power to interpret. I'd gather that on the highest levels of brain corrticality that white noise would still be applicable for listening. I.e creating an addition to the brain waves already active. Sorry I'm a bit compromised right now but this is the best I can do on short notice. P.s. I mean sober, there are just people around me. Hope this helps! I know it seems counter intuitive at first but the brain really does get a net gain from listening, to music or otherwise! It's like free electricity for brain power. I think music just helps along in the process because we're and I mean brains in the sense of were, better at interpreting it, like putting a better fuel in the engine -> Sure it will run more efficiently! :)
I think Tibetan mandalas may be relevant, as I recall their structure and compositional significance to be representative of mind states and neural activity. (I need to review that topic...)
listening to a Jordan Peterson lecture on chaos and order will do a lot to aid in understanding this video. reminiscing on my own experience on lsd it did have that effect of aiding in my neurological re-ordering through higher frequency manipulation. The real key was eliminating societal bought definitions with the aid of LSD. It is what allowed myself to anchor and integrate higher functioning brain states. Its soo much easier to filter out garbage from my physical mind now.
And in the case of the animal coat patterns, what would the frequency be representing? It seems the frequency and the shape of the animal determine the harmonic wave but where does the frequency come from?
@@Maniac.45 the frequency is proportional to the complexity of the patterns. there is more involved in real life pigmentation, like reaction-diffusion models.
I guess it must be time independent wave equation and its solution are the standing waves. For hydrogen atom, it is a time-independent Schrodinger equation that is very similar and so on.
Neat work, but the presenter used way too many easy-to-misunderstand words. For example, LSD "increases total power and energy" of brain states. And LSD increases "higher harmonics." Yes, that's true, but only in the very literal physics sense. Laymen, or even wishful-thinking experts, will read into that and think it means things that it doesnt. I wish people would stop overhyping work like this. There's no reason to make your work seem like it has quasi-mystical implications when it doesnt.
piratepartyftw I feel like she used the most concise language possible. She pretty adequately discussed the decreases in brain activity as well. I think the only time she asserted that achieving such "higher frequencies" was beneficial was in her mention of criticality, but she also provided an objective explanation for that. She brought up dissolution of the ego, which is the basis of mysticism, but this is a common subjective experience and (counter to the beliefs of the common wishful thinker) it correlated with the lowered ranges brain activities.
To me the literal physical implication that the brain goes into a higher energy state ("amped up", "overdrive") when ingesting LSD is exactly what my personal subjective empirical nonscientific 'hippie wastoid' newage quasi-mystical experiences would seem to indicate. I think I appreciate what you're getting at but I found this presentation to be satisfyingly secular
She defined power and energy very specifically when describing the data collected, and if you don't think it's absolutely insane that the physical readings of neuronal activity can be translated, described and predicted by a freaking formula that can happen to also describe numerous other completely unrelated naturally occurring phenomena then you are a banana
This is THE most significant and eloquent explanation and results I have seen so far. Why isn't this on CNN and the rest?
This is awesome across so many disciplines it is mindblowing

i would like to see a study with light and its effects on the brain as the guy at the 25 minute mark asked in regards to non audible stimuli.
I think that the questioner has a misunderstanding, or perhaps I do.

whoa! we need more of this. great work!
Absolutely fabulous work! This is amazing

Wow! Criticality certainly describes our trending state of life.

mind-blown - or should I say mind-approaching-criticality?
@20:38 Wow I thought "power fluctuations' only happen in Star Trek

It be like that

Christian Lee join me at my channel
Is there any possibility of researching this interesting subject equipped only with an EEG, or do we require fMRI?
This is too broad, each axon can tune itself with it's neighbors with myelin.
These harmonics will exist on the scale of even circuits of a few cells
Are the harmonic patterns in the brain already there and then you use the equation to determine the frequency?
And in the case of the animal coat patterns, what would the frequency be representing? It seems the frequency and the shape of the animal determine the harmonic wave but where does the frequency come from?
@@Maniac.45 the frequency is proportional to the complexity of the patterns. there is more involved in real life pigmentation, like reaction-diffusion models.
it is much like using the Fourier transform to extract the bass, mid, and treble from music and show it on a graphic equalizer.
Please what is the name of the equation. Cant find it on wiki
I guess it must be time independent wave equation and its solution are the standing waves. For hydrogen atom, it is a time-independent Schrodinger equation that is very similar and so on.
it is related to Laplacian eigenfunctions

They should fire that announcer. She did a horrible job.
No eye contact
Too close to the mic
Script reading word for word
Unrehearsed
Pure disrespect

+Getting several words wrong
A good introducer always discusses the intro with the speaker beforehand.
Are you joking? She is a scientist not a professional public speaker. If thats what u got out of the video... you failed, try again.
