Olfactory memory

Parfums have aphrodisiac powers attributed to them? Indeed, it seems. Many of them contain substances similar to male pheromones and are therefore a stimulative effect on the body, such as a fast heart rate, symptom enough to not actually know if the perfume or who uses what we Exciting.

But in general, all the flavors have a physiological stimulant. It is the amazing power of olfactory memory, whose accuracy is surprising to psychologists in their studies. The olfactory memory has a very distinctive feature: in addition to registering the smell, develops a sensory and emotional context. Just a smell to revive a distant memory in their highest integrity. A study was made to a group of people to smell aromas of a hundred and one years after they were given to smell the same scents. Simultaneously, a similar study, but with a hundred images to assess visual memory.

The result was amazing: all the pictures are forgotten after four months, while 60 percent of the aromas were still remembered after one year. The scientists conclude that this happens because there are myriad connections between the field olfactory nerve and the auditory and visual memory, which ends with an inter perfume, a specific aroma and creates around it a frame, a context that generates visual and auditory accurately remember.

How to train and improve memory

Throughout the time the memory is weakened. The following recommendations will help you stay forever "trained"

• Attend meetings and courses.

• Read at least the headlines of newspapers. If you prefer, opt for a book.

• Do crosswords, it's a very good option to exercise your memory and boost attention.

• Drink plenty of water and walk for at least 30 minutes every day.

• Do not drink alcohol to excess.

• Avoid tension and stress.

As remember the dreams

For many people, it is extremely difficult to remember what you dreamed the night before. They know that they had a nightmare or a pleasant dreamlike experience, have a vague idea of the sensations experienced, but they can not reconstruct the scenes. Are not even able to define the topic of his dream.

These "omissions" may be corrected with the right training. In this note we propose a technique to activate the dreamlike memory and exploit the rich source of knowledge that are the dreams.

PLAN TO ACTIVATE THE MEMORY NIGHT
If you are faced with the task record, achieved all remember their dreams. It is important to have patience, because the results are not immediate. Implement training in the two stages that we offer below.

Core Program
To begin with his training dream, you should incorporate some nocturnal habits. That allowed to prepare the ground for his dreamlike memory begins to "wake up".

1 Daily dream.
Keep in your table of Light a scorer and a pen to write their dreams (or their feelings night) and either wakes.

2 Healthy living.
Eat well, practice physical activities and, above all else, do not consume stimulants or sleeping pills.

3 Check your thoughts.
This point because it requires more concentration. You must acquire the habit of thinking about it immediately prior to a wake. Neither well abandon his state of somnolence, keep your eyes closed and stay in bed. Start to think about. Try to remember what was going on in his mind a few minutes ago. What were you doing and feeling? Do not try to remember the whole dream. Relax. Thus, the feelings or some details of his dream will come to you.

4 Wake natural.
It is important to be quiet on waking. Otherwise, it becomes very difficult to remember and record dreams. Your mind should not be burdened by worries. Nor is it advisable to leave the sleep through the alarm clock. Try to restore the state of vigil before the clock to ring. With a little practice, you can wake up gradually and normally. If it succeeds, it will have dreams complete, without interruption or sudden surges.

Advanced training
This second phase of the plan is little more demanding, but if carried out the first in the right way, will have no trouble complying with it.

5 The value of detail.
It is likely that you will wake up with the memories of only a part of his dream. Grant value to that image, because if the scraps, will fade away and you probably do not have another chance to relive her dream. A fragment may lead to reconstruct the whole experience dreamlike.
In addition, such detail that at first glance it seems insignificant, could provide a link to remember and analyze other dreams.

6 internal alarm.
Prográmese to wake up after every dream. It seems somewhat difficult, but if he is not proposing and gives up, it will achieve. At bedtime, before turning off the light, concentrate on thinking that is going to wake up after every dream. This will fix its own internal alarm. The reward for your efforts will not be long in coming, will have dreams more vivid and intense.

7 broken dream.
If you have the possibility, sleep for shorter periods, two or three times a day. The change in sleep habits have very positive effects on the dreamlike experience. In addition, you'll feel rested and full of energy.

8 Learn and explore.
Everything you read and investigated with respect to the subject of dreams, will be a key input. The more thoughts occupying his mind on what to dream, more and better access to their nocturnal activity. Moreover, their interpretation and analysis will be more complete and accurate.

Train your memory by mind control

Exercise capacity of the memory is a very effective way to enhance the power of the mind. There is a basic method that allows this power train. Put it into practice.

The method of chain
The appeal is to support the mental images in memory. The more original data is, the easier it is to recall them. Try to memorize this list of objects, in this order: Auto - tree - paper - pot - armchair - door - kitchen - chocolate-pants - traffic lights.

The first thing you should do is to represent an image of the first order, "auto". See it and remember. Then, link the car with a "tree". The image must be crazy, for example, you drive a car made from a tree. Then, you have the word "role". The image may be that your car, made with a tree, is used to make paper.

It follows a "pot". Here you put another string of images. Combine this object with the couch, the kitchen door and, in a creative and original.

Do the same with the objects that remain.
When the images have armed and prepared, try to remember the ten items in the order listed on the roster. Sure it will succeed.

Problems memory stress

Without memory.
So if we can stay stress exceeds us. The accumulated stress affects neurons and interferes with learning.

These findings have reached a research team composed of one American and two Spaniards.
Unable to rehearse with men, experiments have been conducted with rats subjected to stress situations.

What happens during the hypnotic trance

People cree that someone be hypnotized be compelled to do anything. This is one of the many myths created around the theme, the truth is that a person who is in hypnotic trance is not a puppet or a lot less.

You can only do what they do in their normal state, because hypnosis is limited to draw afloat part of our unconscious, and anything that is not in our mental code can be done with these methods.

It is common that the body take unusual positions, for example, if during the trance hipnotizador rose an arm to the patient and then released, it will not reflect the arm back to its initial position. Left in the position that made him take.

It is also aware that not feel any pain if anyone, to try to verify it decides pinching or pulling the hair. During a state of hypnosis, the subject is as isolated in a particular world, but remains in contact with the outside world.

But we must also stress that there are several degrees in hypnosis; depending on the stage at which they are placed, the patient will have a pattern or another. The first is known as hipnoide or lightly; during this stage there are slight relaxation, most flicker and finally, eyes closed and body relax completely.

The second stage starts from trance and has two levels, at the beginning there is a state of apparent death, or
catalepsy, with partial absence of pain and temporary memory loss.

After emerging changes in personality, dreams and ideas, as well as the total absence of pain and amnesia. Finally, we are sleepwalking stage. In this situation the patient acts as if it were in a state of lucidity, with the eyes open can walk and move, but sees and hears things nonexistent and amnesia is total.

It should be noted that hypnotizing it by simply being hypnotized or something is feasible for almost everyone, but should not be undertaken lightly as it could bring complications. If this is done for positive results are noteworthy, because the mind is the best remedies. But should not be used as a magic trick or as a means of coercion, because that is not his goal.

They discover method to revert the memory leak

Canadian scientists discovered for accident a mechanism that could figure out the mysteries of the operation of the memory and to help in the treatment of some illnesses, as you publish the magazine Annals of Neurology.

The discovery happened when the scientists carried out a surgical exploration in the brain of a 50 year-old man in an attempt to reduce you the appetite and to neutralize your growing obesity. For it, they already used a technique successful of cerebral" "stimulation, in which electrodes are inserted and certain sectors are boosted by means of an electric petty imposition.

This cerebral stimulation is applied for more than ten years to treat a comprehensive range of dysfunctions, including the depression, Parkinson's wrong and other associated to the physical involuntary movement.

But, instead of losing the appetite, the man remembered with width particulars of events had happened for 30 years and the later tests demonstrated that you had increased in a considerable way your learning capacity. In moments in that it were carried out the process in the field of the linked hipotálamo with the sensation of the hunger, the man suddenly informed you that the memories were crowded together.

After this surprising fact, the technique is already applying in the treatment of patients of the wrong of Alzheimer, to see the results.

We are before an unusual fact, since it is the first time that are possible to raise the process of the memory from a person to which electrodes have been inserted in the brain. Also, those memories became clearer in the proportion in that you/they raised the stimuli.

According to the scientists, this fact provides us a bigger knowledge on the cerebral structures involved in the memory. Let us hope they can really open new hopes for the patients with illnesses neurodegenerativs.

Alzheimer and Senile Dementia

The senile dementia consists on a psychic deep, global and progressive deterioration that alter the intellectual alcoholatura features and you disintegrate the social behavior in some old men (on or about in the 4 for 100). The lawsuits of the senile dementia are very diverse. The hereditary factor is the most important. You are families with a precocious deterioration of the mental abilities. They also have your importance the environmental factors, genus of life, toxics, infections, etc., and mainly the fact of being reached the brain by the general involución of the senile organism.

The symptoms are set up gradually, although sometimes, after some illness or psychic important trauma, the previous unstable balance can collapse and to show the symptoms almost suddenly.Alzheimer and Senile Dementia

The senile dementia consists on a psychic deep, global and progressive deterioration that alter the intellectual alcoholatura features and you disintegrate the social behavior in some old men (on or about in the 4 for 100). The lawsuits of the senile dementia are very diverse. The hereditary factor is the most important. You are families with a precocious deterioration of the mental abilities. They also have your importance the environmental factors, genus of life, toxics, infections, etc., and mainly the fact of being reached the brain by the general involución of the senile organism.

The symptoms are set up gradually, although sometimes, after some illness or psychic important trauma, the previous unstable balance can collapse and to show the symptoms almost suddenly.

The alcoholatura symptoms are the following ones: behavioral disorders; (day little activity, occupations esteriotipadas of the same topics constantly, confusion of memories, insomio, puerility in the whole behavior, among other) memory disturbances; (forfeiture of the uptake memory, that is to say, of proximate facts, and conservation of the evocation memory, that is to say, of old facts; the school infantile automatisms are also remembered) dysfunctions of the language (forfeiture in the elaborated ways of expression or onomastics); constant disorientation in time and later in place; weakening of the judgment and reason; fatiguability and carefulness lábil; dysfunctions of the character (jealousies, avarice, selfishness, intransigence, impertinence, distrust, mistrust, among other); and release of the inferior layers of the legal capacity (for failure of the control mechanisms).

The evolution of the process is progressive, with periods of attenuation and of exacerbation of the symptoms, toward a final state of psychic chaos, being the senile one reduced to a purely vegetative life.

The treatment indicated in these cases is fundamentally medicamentoso (hormone therapy anabolizante and drugs psicotropos, so much antidepression medications, as tranquilizers). They should also be kept in mind the conditions of life of the old demenciado in the socio-economic and environmental sense.

Sleep is Good for the Memory

Starting from the XX century and with the input of the artificial light, they have gone decreasing progressively the hours of dream in the population of the industrialized countries. This new reality that among other allowed to extend the family activities and of leisure, and you implanted the night work and for rotational shifts, you also modified, of drastic way, the lifestyles of millions and millions of people. Sleeping, far from being an inactive stage of rest, you are a state of biologic intense activity during which hormone changes, metabolic, thermal, biochemical, cerebral and mental, are operated fundamentally to achieve the balance psicofísico and the sensation of well-being during the day. If you doubt, to sleep is important. You not only know it who sleep bad: you are difficult to think that you are about a banal issue if the organism invests in this a third part of the life.

One of the main features of the dream, and maybe the most sophisticated, is to strengthen the memory: the most recent investigations demonstrate that the process of storing the information in the memory is carried out while you fall asleep.

During the night dream, the incorporate data are reactivated and reproduced time and again by the hippocampus - very petty field of the interior of the brain where that is stored that memorize. With each repetition, the information is sent, in turn, to the cerebral cortex, where you leave recording more and more deep in the brain tissue, integrating this way the called "memory of long term." That is to say that while you fall asleep, the informations pass on one side from the brain to the other one. therefore, what memorize during the day, consolidates during the night. This is the lawsuit for the one which who have slept well he/she can have to the awakening a more ordered vision of the problems that you/they have been pending, or even to find the olución to a problem while you fall asleep.

During the dream, the brain comes off of the whole useless information of the day and new connections take place among the neurons, with the appearance of more and cerebral better circuits. And to bigger circuits, bigger performances of the stocks of the brain.

The stressful very traumatic tests are recorded with stability in the memory and vivid memories that last in the time take place. On the contrary, the stress if you are less intense but more prolonged, you injure the hippocampus and therefore, you deteriorate the memory.

To sleep is since an irreplaceable feature you are the only mechanism of which prepare the brain for your own retrieval. During the dream, the body, the brain and the mind you restairan to themselves although, paradoxically, all continue very enabled.

Then in that statement that at some time all hear that you said: you seek advice to sleep on it the serious subjects before making a decision", we can say that you have a lot of effectiveness, since the best thing that can make the person before a problem, a challenge academic or complicated decisions, is exactly, to sleep well.

Does the Brain imitate Google?

A recent studio assures that the great searcher of internet works as a human brain, linking millions of web page from a similar way to the neurons.

When Google entered in our lives, you still showed up before that population of Internauts petty as the "most automated" searcher. In this time (you already make more than one decade) the search engines were quite mediocre and subjective, for blame of the human intervention. More than searchers, were really index aligned by people and, therefore, they were not neither all the agile one, neither all the quick one, neither all the massive one that you began to be necessary to navigate for internet.

Google entered then as the self-operating alternative: this novel searcher's operation was based on a combination of algorithms that you/they were those that distilled the best result in feature of mathematical parameters of quality, such as the relevancy, the iteration and the importance.

And now, passing the first decade of the invention, you seem that the novelty was not such: because our brain searches the memories in a way more or less similar. The searcher that almost succeeded for your humanity" "ullage thinks as us.

How many more links, well
The key is PageRank: this algorithm is the one that solve how result will obtain when searching in Google, and you are based on a combination of factors that you/they "punctuate" each page from 0 to 10. You are a parameter of "relevance" on the remainder of contents that make that they highlight some places on others in feature of the punctuation that you/they are granted. And the most determinant element when granting that punctuation is the number of links: each link supposes a point, but not all compute in the same way. Because you are not the same as you link us the CNN that MySpace of an adolescent. The secret is the prestige.

According to a recent report in the New magazine Scientist, the operation of our memory is very similar to this architecture of nodes and networks. You could explain this way to you how neurons and synapsis are conjugated when to remember and to sort our memory, in a very similar way to as you make it PageRank of Google.

Tom's studio Griffiths consisted on comparing the words that a group of people associated in first instance to the letter TO (and then the B, and so forth) with those that Google returned before a search; in a surprising way, the results coincided: the searcher and the humans gave the same list of words for each letter. The studio group evoked the same "first terms" that the searcher, what took to the psychologists to the curious conclusion that the connections that settle down among the cells neuronales were very similar to the links of internet.

According to Griffiths, the neurons that you/they enjoy many connections become more enabled and more effective (or what are the same, more noted) than the remainder, in the same way that those webs that possess many links is appraised how more important for Google.

Comparative memory
For the neurologist María Sacrarium Boatman, the human memory works as a flowing" "trunk of data that you/they can be compared among them. To demonstrate it, coarse a petty game: "When we try to memorize those that are named non words (invented terms, nonexistent and without meaning)", the expert you explain, we "memorize with much more easiness those that sound similar to actual terms that are already stored in the 'semantic" store of the memory." You are about a structure of very similar organization of data, for example, to the form in that Google sorts the pictures in your searcher of images.

The searcher of internet appraises more the popular contents, and the memory prefers the most moving.

1. In feature of the success
GOOGLE: When we start a search, that makes the motor you are to sieve among the millions of pages that he/she have read already, to choose those that it consider better (generally, those more visited and linked).

BRAIN: On the other hand, our memory puts above the mere information, of the pure and cold data, those memories that you/they go accompanied by some meaning with emotional imposition.

2. Terms key: search handles
GOOGLE: Certain word count that you/they describe the content of a certain web makes easier than the searcher you fix in them.

BRAIN: In a same way, our memory reacts in an active way before having determined words or images "fetish" that you/they boost us and they bring back our memories.

3. The interest: the approaches of 'quality"
GOOGLE: You give to each page a punctuation that depend (for command of pettier to more importance) on the number of visits, the content and the quantity of links.

BRAIN: The memory also appraises the links: plus those that tie a certain memory with sensorial (odors, flavors.) information that make it more alive.

The Nanotectology Promises to Multiply for 10 the Autonomy of the Batteries

You are a great problem that the law of Moore is not germane in the land of the batteries. If the number of transistors in the microprocessors, or the memory increases in a lineal way every few months, the technologies of the batteries go to too dilatory step.

In the University of Stanford, the professor Yi Cui and your team have developed a technology that can raise the autonomy of the batteries of mobile telephones, portable, video cameras, etc. an autonomy 10 times superior to the current one. Basically it is about modifying the anode of the rechargeable batteries of io-lithium.

The increase of the capacity is possible thanks to a new anode type that don't use graphite, but silicon nano-filaments. In the traditional batteries of io-lithium, the quantity of imposition, in lithium form that can store the graphite node is limited; that that in turn limits the operational lifetime of the battery. The silicon anode has the theoretical biggest charge capacity, but they expand and they contract when being loaded and to be downloaded, what affect to the performance of the battery.

The team of Stanford has paid this problem by means of a new silicon anode in that the lithium is stored in a tangle of nano-filaments. As you happen with those of silicon, these filaments "fill out" up to four times when absorven the lithium, but contrary to the first they don't fracture.

Although in the field of sensors and ubiquitous devices of reduced size don't usually use this type of batteries, swapping size for autonomy results could be procured more than interesting in the field of the ubiquitous computation.

How to write a Sacred Act

Before anything else, it is necessary to know that a Sacred Act, is written to leave indelible print of those that punish, of that in what we believe, of the promises that we make. And the magicians, make the same thing: they write so that their ritual ceremonies have more power and effectiveness. He/she practices then, and obtén the benefits of training in the magic write.

From their origins, the features of the write were many, but it is in the century 3100 AC when they are granted to the write magic qualities and ceremonials. In the foundations of temples and palaces, a directed tablet was arranged to the gods and communio era that people loaded these amulets to drive away to the bad spirits. Likewise sorcerers and bewitching, as well as priests and monks, recognized from early the power of the write. It happens that the written words have the don of remaining in the time. It is so a blessing or a written curse they don't forget, they leave a visible print, and therefore they acquire a value atemporal. The write for the witchdoctors is not only a tool that he/she helps to the memory and it is good to save information. Not he/she also has an added value, but rather it constitutes a magic end in itself. This way, to write a sentence, an incantation or an invocation has an effect highly reforzador on any charm or ritual. For the value that contains for their work, many sorcerers, alchemists and until jealous scientific, they knew that their knowledge could not fall in inexpert hands, so they devised secret write to screen their knowledge, different languages.

Although it seems strange, to write from left to right and of up down it has not been the usual form that you/they adopted the towns. The old man wrote from right to left and some populations made it following abnormal forms, in spiral or in circle. The first write forms, as that of the Egyptians, were hieroglyphic: signs that represented sounds or words, but non letters, like it happens with our up-to-date alphabets. And of course, neither it was the paper the first utilized surface. While the write is 5000 years of history old, the paper only goes back behind to about 1900 years. Before the paper existed, him first that they used the human beings to write they were clay tables, stone and wood, as well as the metals.

We offer you a financial year so that you carry out write of this class. You will use the following materials: 1 bar of white new soap, 1 punch, 1 cutter, 1 auction room, 1 silk paper, knives of circular tip and of cutting. Then it arranges the soap bar on a wooden table and he/she writes your name with the punch, in a clear and centered way. With the help of the remainder of the tools, it begins to carve your name. You can give more depth to the outline, hitting the punch smoothly with an auction room, and also to make it more comprehensive removing soap with a knife. He/she works carefully and neatly. When ending, make the same of the other side. Then humidify it in water without he/she softens and wrap it neatly in a piece of silk paper, in such way that the paper is humidified and very plaster to the soap and the carved slots. Allow it to dry off in the sun during one day, then your soap will be off-the-shelf in rituals of personal clean-up!

Curative Infusions

To feel better many times of bare particulars that don't require a lot of work or economic current expenditure depends. The infusions constitute an excellent mode of incorporating good goods to the body, through diverse flavors to liven up and to vary the usage of liquids.

The occult tizanas, is preparedness with the help of multiple ingredients that summon to the good energy for the concretion of projects or to feel better in general. In the case of the occult varieties, the bonus is obtained starting from the election of specific vegetables with magic goods. These tizanas is carried out by means of the procedure of the infusion: the elected sheets are arranged and he/she spills on these water boiling. It is allowed to rest 5 minutes, so that the vegetables say goodbye to their qualities and so that the liquid becomes lukewarm. Then it is strained, and it can waste away.

A listing exists of some of these preparedness, and they are the following ones:

1-for you strengthen the concentration and to energize the mind, they mix a teaspoonful of mint, a teaspoonful of abelmusk flowers, the shell of an orange and a liter of water.

To alleviate the concerns and to overcome the anguish, he/she should get ready with a soup spoonful of sheets of wild dry rosas, the shell and the juice of a lemon and half liter of water.

To diminish the stress and the physical fatigue, a teaspoonful of scraping of orange shell will be used and another of lemon, dried off in the sun, two nails of odor, the juice of an orange and half liter of water.

To communicate better with the environment, the tizana is made with three fresh sheets of sage, three tangerine clusters and a cup of mineral water or purified of quality.

To favor the energy assimilation through the foods two ajedrea tiny pieces, a tiny piece of romero and a cup of water they are used.

To achieve an energy purification of the aura they mix fifteen grams of gentian root, forty grams of chamomile flowers, the shell of a lemon and a liter of water.

To improve the mental speed and the memory a tiny piece of romero, an angelica tiny piece, the shell of an orange and two cups of water they are arranged.

8-for the integral well-being they will be used a cup of coffee recently fact, rasping of root of ginger, a tiny piece of paprika and a tiny piece of cinnamon.

To improve the oxygenation of the body and the vitality they mix two fresh sheets of eucalyptus cut with the fingers in pieces, a marjoram tiny piece, a nail of odor, the shell of a lemon and a cup of water.
A lot of luck!!!
