Just from the top of my head. Can we get to a time when we start using our phones to vote. I wont be suprised if more than 70% of our voting population already owns and operates a phone. The major challenge maybe how to keep d election free and fair by maintaining 1 man 1 vote process. if it would be possible to have every eligible voter to register himself with an associated line for voting, where voting cost could range from N1 to N20 (too much) per vote. There would be less violence, quicker process, election canbe. onducted at any time of the day at much quicker pace so d whole day is not wasted. We may have to deal with a newer form of electronic rigging or database hacking, etc yes there has to be new challenges that can thwart the whole idea.. its just from the top of my head. just thinking. hiw do y |

suwailad: Just go to pdf995.com download and install. It automatically puts a plugin in microsoft word. When you print, select pdf 995 printer, and convert to PDF. shikena.Thanx for the input. I also have pdf995 on my system, which also does the same thing. But i find dopdf better in a smaller way, let me explain. 1. Dopdf is smaller in size (4mb) compared to pdf995 (4.74mb,printer driver + 7.95mb,converter software) This means that for the average person, installation may not be a cake walk unlike that for dopdf. 2. because of the smaller file size, i can easily download it anytime any where i need to convert a document ASAP without having my system around. like for instance in a cyber cafe. Thats why i generally recommend dopdf, not because its superior or what ever, its just easier to use and very intuitive. |

There is a thread here that has already dealt on this topic. where Mr_Man shared with us his experience with weed. you can find it here https://www.nairaland.com/1532526/experience-weed I was so impressed with his detailed and very funny narration of his experience that i was so compelled to share mine (an event that nearly took away my sanity if not for God's mercy), which can be found at the comment i posted on that thread here https://www.nairaland.com/1532526/experience-weed/9 I'm going to re-post that story here again for easy reading. I've always wanted to share my story and explain myself to the ones that loved me and felt very disappointed with me after it happened. In this narration i'll like to share The before Story, The Story and The After Story.. (Story should be taken as "Taking Weed" ![]() The Before Story Like i shared earlier, I didn't take weed due to peer pressure, No far from it, Many may say that was why they veered into it, to see what it means to get High and be Bold and all that not!!, no not me. I had made up my mind that i wanted to take this weed stuff, and for good reasons (i think) not for boldness or Highness or Creativity or any other major reason many take it. So why did i then take it?? let me explain. Growing up for me was almost very boring an experience. You see, i wasn't as active and street smart like every other kid in the neigbourhood. extremely shy, kept to my self, and many of those quality you can find in people who are considered introverts and melancholic (these terms i later got to find out about that described people like me) but my own is like x5 every other person. Believe me this was a disease i was carrying with me that wasn't considered an illness cause it doesn't make your body temperature hot, or doesn't cause you to puke or have headaches and no doesn't have a need for you to be admitted in the hospital and be checked and every other thing you that an ill person should go through. No. No body knows something big is wrong with you and the worse part is I couldn't describe what i was going through on the inside. Now that i know better, i think my nervous system was a wreck, it was totally underdeveloped and very useless. I used to have fear (or phobia) for almost any thing, name it anything apart from maybe food but i was afraid of everything else. you would see it as anything because some other people have fears too and i was still young so the general thought is that he would out grow it as time passes. But not me. My nerves remained for ever. I would have been considered useless or maybe something worse if not that by some stroke of luck i wasn't bad in classroom activities. i did almost as well as the very good in class so i was generally considered as a brilliant guy. Okay it gave me some solace but it made me very stereotyped. anything away from book, you'll expose me. Even though i was considered brilliant, i couldn't be trusted.. why because i could be very good today and tomorrow post the worst result ever so you could really rely on my abilities to deliver when it mattered you'lled prefer someone with average abilities but with very constant result. This meant i was not participating in any school activity like Debate, Drama, (Of course i was even too shy even if i would have wanted to try and fail, but at least build on it) or even sports.. i was just no where. These things started to bother me as i was not getting any younger and i wasn't getting any better. time was ticking and i didn't do any thing about it there would be no future for me (Forget It!). I think from my SS2 or so i knew i had to be proactive in getting my self help. the difficult thing about it was that apart from me being shy, i also had a big problem expressing my self. i could not coordinate my thought process and express it clearly for people to understand me. Most times when i talk it's like i'm talking from my nose and its so unclear people would always say "talk out now i can't even hear what you're saying" when in my mind i'm talking as loud as possible. So even explaining to some one how i feel and what i was going through was too difficult i coundn't try. You know it would have being easier if there was a name i could call what i was going through so i'll say it to anyone without having to explain the details just like if you go to a doctor you'll tell him that you have Headaches (every body knows head ache, con current banging in the head causing discomfort, or I have asthma, Breathing troubles where the bronchitis has inflamed thereby narrowing the air passage ways and many or words that are used to described even the most complex medical condition.. very easy) so i decided that the first step was to actually find out what was wrong with me and also to find a way to describe it. Well i loved to read it was the only valid thing i could do without having the need to be explaining something to anyone and for me to be shy. Remember, at around this time there was noting like the internet. I'm talking of late 1990's. (if there was internet it was not yet known) how many people owned computer then self.. Only very rich families had computers then (if you look at it now in retrospect they were very priced Electronics to behold then). Then just having it in the sitting room and covering it with nylon and never putting on the computer na big effizzy on its own, so you'll understand the kind off period I'm referring to. So generally there was no google or yahoo (Nairaland?.. Hell NO!! I wonder how Old Seun (i'm surprised the name Seun is not in the NL Dico, i've added it jare!!) would have being then) or anything.. so you're limited to books, libraries and the like. Believe me i tried for several years but i couldn't find anything that could help me even remotely. it was very difficult. At around that time i started experimenting with anything that can help me relate to people with fear. anything that can affect my nervous system would suffice. i had tried garlic, Kola, Kai kai, Beer and other Alcoholic beverages (woo sai, all of them na bolo, they can affect your sense of vision and stability but nothing more.. can't help them improve or get better, complete waste. i needed something strong. That was when i started contemplating weed. The Story I would have taken weed earlier, but you know you can't get it like you get the others that i've tried. in fact it took me almost 3 years to have my first contact with one. Who would i ask to get it from me cause it not sold to just anybody. I don't talk to almost anyone, i just come and go (Imagine living like that). after completing secondary school i stayed at home for a while after not being able to secure admission for my self (which was even very difficult for me if not for some later connections i utilized that got me a course i didn't even know existed talk of knowing what it means or what they do). During that period i had opportunity of hanging with street guys once in a while with my neigbours whom i've become quite close with. I follow them everywhere and before you know it i was no longer a stranger in their midst. I still had to contemplate how to get the weed. because i was still always bothered about my situation. in fact it had not gotten any better. i wouldn't say it got worse but the problem i was now having the most was that i was now in peoples eye and i was expected to contribute to discussions and topics. things i hardly excel at (i need o get my self fixed if i'm to make any sense in life I've always thought to my self). Of all the ideas I've had that could likely help me, it was only egboh that i have not tried. i was a complete wreck and i needed help fast. let me copy and paste my narration from the other thread here to continue the story endie44: Mr Man i'm totally blown away at how you narrated your story.. you know i've been there before and every thing you said i can confirm gbabe!!( Take it or leave it) let me try and share my own..The After Story I'll continue this one let me do some work.. In this part i'll share with you in detail the aftermath of the whole event, what i learned and how i survived over all.. How my I'm coping now and other valuable insights you'll just find interesting. so please check back again.. thanks |
mr_man: I had just moved out of my parents house and was sharing a room with my "friend". I had no idea he smoked weed, despite his suspicious movements and signature weed scent(abi na odour?) barely two weeks after moving in with him, my worst fears were confirmed as he started bringing home his weed smoking buddies and they would occassionally roll a wrap and smoke it right there in the room or mix the weed with beans or spagehtti.Mr Man i'm totally blown away at how you narrated your story.. you know i've been there before and every thing you said i can confirm gbabe!!( Take it or leave it) let me try and share my own.. Me own no be say bad friends or something.. its bin a while i've bin trying to take that stuff but i couldn't get my hands on them.. growing up to me was like the good boy, always doing the right thing, carry First in class (ehen now!), private school tins, yeah generally you could consider me as a very Okay and the last person anybody would dream of to try that stuff.. But then there was me.. After waiting nearly three solid yeas to gain admission, i had started gaining trust from some very ok! guys on the street then.. so one day i told one of my neigbours that i wanted to get the leaf.. he asked me what i wanted to use it for ..yea Honestly.. he asked. I told him i wanted to put it in Virgin cream to grow bear bear.. imagine!!! (now wey i remember i just dey laf!!) he wouldn't have taken me to buy it if i hadn't sounded very convincing and pushy and he agreed to take me. Omo come see coded movements.. even me come dey fear as our movement dey crooked. we weren't following straight roads, na from corner to corner , middle of house wey dey build jam pack together. we finally got there and of course he was recognized and someone jumped out to attend to us. he asked how many i said 1. The wrap was small and cheap, sold for N10, i said bring two instead. gave the seller N20 and went away. I went back home alone as my neighbor went his way for other business. I got home, i don't ordinarily smoke so i didn't know how to start all the wahala of wrapping and all those what not.. already i was aware you could cook it with beans or something and eat it and would still get that high effect. So instead of beans i got Indomie (sharp sharp) before any body would come back home and catch me cooking anything. I cooked 1 wrap with 1 Indomie and i chop am.. i was afraid ooo but i still chop am.. clean mouth.. after like 30mins nothing happen i said to my self abi dis one no reach.. chwww.. i cooked the other one and ate it .. this time feeling even more confident.. I chop am nothing...after waiting like 10mins... i said to my self this one no be am.. i think i bought the weaker ones.. I tidied up every where and left no trace of any cooking (Trust me Nah!!) I wore my pams and went to one of my friends house who happens to live nearby across the major road. I was with my friend in their sitting room watchin a program abi na mojo we dey watch sef!! thats like 1hr later when my body starts trembling. at first i thought it was nothing infact i had totally forgotten that i took weed earlier. But when it started becoming too uncomfortable that i felt my chest and lungs choking.. I stood up all of a sudden as in at ligthening speed.. and called out to my friend ( who was still engrossed in what we were watching) and told him that i dont know how my body was doing me... i was so afraid started to sweat.. infact my body temperature started to rise and i started feeling dehydrated... mennnh dis wan na dieing tins OOOh! i just kept pacing up and down like a mad dog not knowing what to do. i asked for anything liquid because my throat was already too dried that my mouth was beginning to gum together. my friend quickly rushed out and got 7up like three bottles. if you see how i downed it eh... OOh GOd!! you wont believe it. but still yet my body was on fire.. I told my friend that i had to go back that my temperature was rising too fast that i might die here... Omo See fear (now that i think of it i could have put that my friend in serious trouble if anything could have happened to me, and he still doesn't know what actually happened. it was much much later when everything calmed down that he even got to kw the how far). It was easier on me while i was trying to get home at this period my head hadn't started playing games with me, Okay i had to cross the major express to the other side of the road i tried and got to the median (my friend after seeing me off to the road , that's were we normally part if i go to his house i'll just cross and start going home) Omo na for tha median i could not tell how far a vehicle was from me, my vision was extremely blurred and my other senses started to fail me. i knew in my heart that if i attempted to cross the road i could get hit. I decided to just sit down there on the median (na here craze start) as in just dey there relax see if i can get my self.. then i thought again that my friend shouldn't have gone far, i could call out to him so he could help me to the other side. luckily he hadn't I called out to him (while sitting there Oh for middle of road) i told him i could cross the road. so he hurriedly came to my rescue and took me straight home. I went straight to the bathroom to cool my body with a bath and went to bed afterwards. it was like 2pm. but to me it was already 10.30pm (time to sleep) My body had started to take on a white look as the heat inside my body was dehydrating me. that was when i remembered garri.. i remembered that if you soaked garrium it might relieve you of some of the effect of the Weed in your system (all dis guys sef). so i made a very large bowl of it and drank till i could take no more. But my head was still pounding, heat wan finish me and all my senses where blurring. Mo gbe (i'm in deep shit) what have i done i said to myself. it was then i lied down on the bed.... gen geun!!.. omo mehn na here e start... my brain started thinking things wey i no send am.. The thoughts were so fast and deep and they were branching out heavily. what i mean is, if my thoughts reaches a place were there are more than 1 option it continued in all direction at once, simultaneously... Odinarily i would have said it was cool but i wasn't the one thinking this things... it was just firing up on its own, it was using my brain without my permission and doing things with it that i couldnt do. i felt i was being raped and i wasn' t in control. JesuSS!! help me!! ( i would shout inside my head when it would get too much that i knew that this was confirmed madness) I had gone Bobos!! parts of my brain that didnt exist before started doing logic reasoning. the reasonings were sound and ok and deep but i couldn't take credit for them because it wasn't me that was doing it. a force was using my brain and it started to hurt seriously. na im i start to dey pray inside my head. i found out that if i tried to use my head and think for myself consciously it would stop, but then i would forget myself and the brain goes haywire on its own. I was alone at home as no one had come back from school yet. so i was really scared that if i dont get a hold of my brain, this thing using my head can possess it and i would become mad. I just used prayer to hold myself before my family members started to come back and found me in an awkward state. I didnt even send anybody after telling them what had happened.. some were shouting ewwooHH ewoohh!! he don mad Oh because the way i was even talking i didn't even know brother from sister, from aunty to uncle to papa self.. no single respect it was outright casual and blunt.. not my usual demeanor and behaviour (big Problem). Now just imagine if i could go ahead and take weed and nearly ran mad, it meant there was virtually no hope for my family.. Because i was considered one of the strongest players in my family who may one day likely save us all from poverty and the rest. I disappointed my Dad Most especially ( i couldn't have cared anyless for anyone else).. Well sha i was given some enough tins of peak milk and later taken to the hospital for other treaments. You know in fact i could have actually killed myself ignorantly or stupidly, i've always thought to my self. if i had purchased more than two wraps i could have easily taken it when the second didn't still have any effect... gbam. Unlike alcohol as you take it, you start feeling it immediately so that was the concept i had. those guys used to smoke this thing and get high immediately so why didn't this one. I would sincerely tell you that i didnt get completely rehabilitated even after 4 years (i don dey school by Now). i could still feel that strangeness in my brain and that heat in my body continued a long time. It permanently coloured my eyeball to a kind of yellow that if you're a gangerous man and see my eye you would know i've taken before or i'm still currently chewing weed. I guess i gave my liver a sudden heavy detoxification to do which it may not have being prepared for.. i hope it doesn't cause me troubles in the future (Please GOD!!). When i see some mad people on the road, its as if i can connect with them, i know probably what is going o in their brain.. Believe me it has being hijacked by forces and they have virtually no control of themselves and action at most times. I think i got lucky and remain ever Grateful to God!! Almighty for saving me that day.. It could have been worse. I'm totally Okay Now and doing great (thanx for asking) totally recovered and looking forward to doing great things in my life. This happened almost 11 to 12 years back.. I was really naive then!! Mr Man I still throway tualle to you for having the courage to put down your experience and share with the world so that lessons can be learnt and costly mistakes avoided. Yours faithfully. |

You know i bet you can't recreate this kind of concept in Naija that's why i think its phenomenal. Can anybody genuinely say there are places they've visited a long time ago that still remains literally the same after 20years. Old structures are being brought down and replaced by new ones or are totally revamped beyond recognition. while virgin lands are constantly being developed.. I don't think I personally would be able to recreate any one of my childhood pictures that's why i still find this fascinating.. I think it shows the reserved culture of the Romanians. ![]() |

endie44: Typical Controversial Marketing..Nobody has Heard from This Guy in a while.. Popularity speeches once in a while will not Hurt ![]() |
A great Egyptian pharaoh summons his two young nephews, Chuma and Azur, and he commissions them to a majestic task: Build two monumental pyramids as a tribute to Egypt. Upon completion of each nephew’s pyramid, Pharaoh promises each an immediate reward of kingship, retirement amidst riches, and lavish luxury for the rest of their natural lives. Additionally, each nephew must construct his pyramid alone. Chuma and Azur, both 18, know their daunting task will take years to complete. Nonetheless, each is primed for the challenge and honored by the Pharaoh’s directive. They exit Pharaoh’s chambers ready to begin the long pyramid-building process. Azur begins work immediately. He slowly drags large heavy stones into a square formation. After a few months, the base of Azur’s pyramid takes shape. Townsfolk gather around Azur’s constructive efforts and praise his handiwork. The stones are heavy and difficult to move, and after one year of heavy labor, Azur’s perfect square foundation to the pyramid is nearly finished. But Azur is perplexed. The plot of land that should bear Chuma’s pyramid is empty. Not one stone has been laid. No foundation. No dirt engravings. Nothing. It’s as barren as it was a year ago when Pharaoh commissioned the job. Confused, Azur visits Chuma’s home and finds him in his barn diligently working on a twisted apparatus that resembles some kind of human torture device. Azur interrupts, “Chuma! What the hell are you doing!? You’re supposed to be building Pharaoh a pyramid and you spend your days locked in this barn fiddling with that crazy machine?” Chuma cracks a smile and says, “I am building a pyramid, leave me alone.” Azur scoffs, “Yeah, sure you are. You haven’t laid one stone in over a year!” Chuma, engrossed and unfazed by his brother’s accusation retorts, “Azur, you’re shortsightedness and thirst for wealth have clouded your vision. You build your pyramid and I will build mine.” As Azur walks away, he chides, “You fool! Pharaoh will hang you in the gallows when he discovers your treason.” Another year passes and Azur solidifies the base of his pyramid and begins the second level. Except a problem arises. Azur struggles in his progress. The stones are heavy and he cannot raise them to the pyramid’s second level. Challenged by his physical limitations, Azur recognizes his weakness: he needs more strength to move heavier stones, and to do so, seeks the counsel of Bennu, Egypt’s strongest man. For a fee, Bennu trains Azur to build bigger and stronger muscles. With great strength, Azur anticipates the heavier stones will be easier to lift onto the higher levels. Meanwhile, Chuma’s pyramid plot of land is still barren. Azur assumes his brother has a death wish since, by all appearances, Chuma is violating Pharaoh’s mandate. Azur forgets about his brother and his nonexistent pyramid. Another year passes and Azur’s pyramid construction slows to a disheartening crawl. It often takes one month just to place one stone. Moving stones to the upper levels require great strength and Azur spends much of his time working with Bennu to build greater strength. Additionally, Azur is spending most of his money on counseling fees and the exotic diet required for the training. Azur estimates at his current construction pace, his pyramid will be completed in another 30 years. Unfazed, Azur lauds, “After three years, I’ve far surpassed my brother. He hasn’t placed one stone yet! That fool!” Then, suddenly, one day while hauling a heavy stone up his pyramid, Azur hears a loud commotion erupting from the town square. The townsfolk, regular observers to his work, abruptly abandon his plot to examine the celebratory fuss. Curious himself, Azur takes a break and leaves to investigate. Surrounded by a cheering crowd, Chuma trolls up the town square commandeering a 25-foot contraption, a towering machine built from a twisted maze of gantries, wheels, levers, and ropes. As Chuma slowly moves up the village street amidst the buoyant crowd, Azur fears the explanation. After a short trawl to Chuma’s barren pyramid plot, Azur’s suspicions are confirmed. Within minutes, Chuma’s strange machine starts moving heavy stones and begins to lay the foundation to his pyramid. One after another, the machine effortlessly lifts the stones and softly places them side-by-side into place. Miraculously, the machine requires little effort for Chuma’s operation. Crank a wheel attached to a rope and cantilever entwined by a gear system, and bingo! Heavy stones are moved quickly and magically. While Azur’s pyramid foundation took over a year to build, Chuma lines up the foundation to his pyramid within one week. The second level that Azur so arduously struggled with is even more shocking: Chuma’s machine does the work 30 times quicker. What took Azur two months takes Chuma’s machine two days. After 40 days, Chuma and his machine accomplish as much as Azur’s three years of toilsome work. Azur was destroyed. He spent years doing the heavy lifting while Chuma built a machine to do it for him. Instead of honoring the machine, Azur vows, “I must get stronger! I must lift heavier stones!” Azur continues the hard labor of pyramid building while Chuma continues to work the crank of his machine. After eight years, Chuma finishes his pyramid at age 26: three years to build the system and five years to reap the benefits of the system. The great pharaoh is pleased and does as promised. He rewards Chuma with kingship and endows him with great riches. Chuma never has to work another day in his life. Meanwhile, Azur continues to dredge away at the same old routine. Lift rocks, waste time and money to get stronger, lift rocks, and get stronger. Sadly, Azur refuses to acknowledge his flawed strategy and endures the same old process: Carry heavy stones until you can lift no more . . . then get stronger so you can lift heavier stones. This mindless prescription leads Azur to a lifetime of toil. He never finishes his pyramid promised to Pharaoh simply because he decides to do the heavy lifting himself when he should have focused on a system to do it for him. Azur has a heart attack and dies while on the 12th level of his pyramid, just two levels from finishing. He never experiences the great riches promised by Pharaoh. Meanwhile, Chuma retires 40 years early in a crown of luxury. Sloshing in free time, Chuma goes on to become Egypt’s greatest scholar and an accomplished inventor. He is entombed alongside Pharaoh in the same pyramid he built. THE FASTLANE IS A BUSINESS SYSTEM: THE SLOWLANE IS A JOB The Slowlane is a job: your hard work traded for your employer’s cash. Azur’s struggles resemble that of a Slowlaner; to get rich, you’re told to get stronger (spend money, return to school, and earn more in the job market) so you can lift heavier stones. The Fastlane is about building a better system, a better contraption, a better product, or a better “something” that will leverage your work. In the Slowlane, you are the source of heavy lifting, while in the Fastlane, you construct a system that does it for you. On your wealth road trip, the Slowlane roadmap asks that you endure a long, tiresome walk to wealth. The toil of wealth is the process itself. In the Fastlane, wealth is driven in a business system you create—the toil is the creation and management of the system itself. Culled from The Millionaire Fastlane by DJ Marco.

Typical Controversial Marketing.. 1.) Go against a long held believe (Prof Robert Kiyosaki..if you want to be rich and famous Don't go to college**Very popular rich dad poor dad series*** 2.) Disagree with a noted Expert (Donald Trump doesn't know a single shit about real estate investment.. Imagine that!! ) or Why the ‘Warren Buffet Method of Investing’ is totally Wrong for the Average Investor”3.) Align Yourself with a Controversial Topic or Event (Boko Haram is a necessary evil, Why Dana Plane Crash could not be avoided etc) 4.) Do Something Controversial Or Very Unusual ( Alameighsia Phota Shot )So with much said, which method do you think is Our Dear Pastor Using to gain cheap popularity) ![]()

Scientific Research Validates Benefits of BrainWave Entrainment Technology Science ushered in a new era in our ability to learn, be creative, remember, control our moods, reduce stress, resolve unwanted behavior patterns, and a host of other desirable ends, with the appearance of a remarkable paper by Dr. Gerald Oster, of Mt. Sinai Medical Center https://www.centerpointe.com/articles/articles-research The Well-Balanced Brain Just as we exercise our bodies to feel better and improve our physical health, stimulating the brain in this manner "exercises" the brain, bringing better mental and emotional health and increased intellectual functioning. Researcher Robert Cosgrove, Jr., Ph.D., M.D., and an authority in pharmaceutics and biomedical engineering, noted that technologies that alter brainwave patterns https://www.centerpointe.com/articles/articles-research Four Categories of Brainwave Pattern There are four categories of brain wave patterns. The most rapid brain wave pattern is that of beta, from about 14 Hz to more than 100 Hz. This is the pattern of normal waking consciousness, and it is associated with concentration, arousal, alertness, and cognition, while at higher levels, beta is associated with anxiety. As we become more relaxed, the brain wave activity slows into the alpha range, from 8 to 13.9 Hz. These are the brain wave patterns of deep relaxation, and of what has been called the twilight state between sleep and waking, while the higher end of alpha represents a more relaxed yet focused state. Slower still are theta waves, between 4 and 7.9 Hz. This is the state of dreaming sleep and also of increased creativity, super-learning, integrative experiences, and increased memory. The slowest brain wave pattern is delta, that of dreamless sleep, below 4 Hz. Generally people are asleep in delta, but there is evidence that it is possible to remain alert in this state—a very deep trance-like, non-physical state. It is in delta that our brains are triggered to release large quantities of healing growth hormone (12). https://www.centerpointe.com/articles/articles-research Super-Learning One of the observed effects of this type of sound-induced brain synchronization is increased learning ability. What is now known as superlearning began in the late 1960s and early 1970s with the work of Bulgarian psychiatrist Georgi Lozanov. Lozanov used deep relaxation combined with synchronized rhythms in the brain to cause students to produce alpha waves. He found that students when in this state learned over five times as much information with less study time per day, with greater long-term retention. In some cases, as much as thirty times as much was learned. https://www.centerpointe.com/articles/articles-research The Endorphin Connection Scientists have also found that the endorphins released when the brain is exposed to alpha and theta binaural beat patterns enhance many mental functions. Endorphins have a powerful strengthening effect on learning and memory, for instance, and have been known to reverse amnesia. Researcher David de Weid found that rats injected with endorphins remembered things longer. Dr. Andrew Schally, 1977 winner of the Nobel Prize for medicine, found that rats receiving injections of endorphins showed improved maze-running abilities. (41) Why do endorphins increase learning and memory? Neuroscientists believe that in humans the places in the brain that produce the most endorphins, and contain the greatest concentration of endorphin receptors, are the same areas of the brain involved most intimately with learning and memory. https://www.centerpointe.com/articles/articles-research |
