Brain rhythm and attention | Dr. Ayelet Landau | TEDxJerusalem
How much of our brains do we actually use? Can we really talk over the phone and drive - at the same time? And what is brain chatter? Dr. Ayelet Landau talks about her exciting research into the rhythmic nature of our perceptions
"Dr. Ayelet Landau joined the Hebrew University in July 2014 as a senior lecturer in the Departments of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences. Since 2010, Landau has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute (ESI) for Neuroscience in cooperation with Max Planck Society in Frankfurt, Germany. Prior to this she did her PhD in cognition, brain and behavior, at the University of California, Berkley.
Her laboratory utilizes non-invasive physiology methods to investigate neural mechanisms and behavioral phenomena associated with spatial attention and the perception of time"

Swami Vivekananda also mentioned, in the commentry on Patanjali's Rajyoga. Understanding brain and controlling it, is one of the major task in Indian Hinduism philosophy. Great video 😊🙏🏻
I found this by searching gamma rhythm and Ted talks 🤓 I’m curious about the connection between gamma rhythm and mood and cognitive disorders. And since gamma rhythm is at higher frequencies and linked to memory, attention and perceptual observation. Which is what I think makes adhd bipolar autism schizophrenia etc different and the intense visual/sensory perception and the alert and wakefulness and that comes with sleeping problems. And how much it affects consciousness. And how it’s connected to meditation. So much interesting stuff I wish more people like you talked about it in a simple way and shared their knowledge and observations with us. :)
I have ADD, and I would earlier in life have loved the idea of brain rhythm training but now, it would remove so many amazing skills that I have that it would feel like being dumbed down to an area of the brain I probably have no use for since - I don't use it. I don't trust myself driving so I don't drive because I know ADD drivers are way more likely to be in a car accident. But as a kid I would focus on my thoughts (daydream) or watch tv with such laser focus that I would not hear a single sound around me, such as mom or the teacher. So after being yelled at enough times I forced myself to divide my attention and always leave a trail of bread crumbs or a radar into the reality and surrounding environment. 2 things happened. I could now be spoken to if I was reading or watching tv, and my focus suffered so horribly that my grades sucked. If I had been allowed to use my focus my own way - would my grades have been better? Who knows but I was so stressed out about being yelled at for slacking off fighting my own brain. It's as sad as it sounds which is why I would have loved brain training.
I feel like it's like a computer processor. It has a clock that syncronizes the steps of a cpu. Each time the clock ticks, computer do something but it's too fast that we think all the stuff goes on at the same time. And the %90 of the brain that everyone thinks we don't use is like the background apps no one care about but they are essentials for you to use computer properly.
Thank you
Maybe this explains how different areas of the brain can "join in" or opt-out of the conscious experience, by either being synchronized with that certain basic "attention frequency" or not being synchronized with it. That doesn't mean they have to have the exact same frequency, but perhaps neurons's action potential frequency is an integer multiplication of the basic frequency such that the overall electric activity creates a "whole", and those brain areas that are processing things at a different frequency (that does not harmonize with the main one), are not "conscious".
What frequency do fricken screens emit right before bed and what about fluorescent lights at work, when I need to be in beta!?
i wonder about meditation and focused attention exercises? i would guess there no change in rhythm when paradoxically one thing becomes no-thing yet it feels so much better

סופר מעניין!
תודה. למדתי מידע שכנראה יכול לעזור לי (מחלים מדימום במוח)
ADHD. That is why i am watching this vid

You could have gotten to the point more quickly.
This is absolutely painful to watch I'm almost ten minutes in and not a single point has been made its just some girl rambling about her kid at the fair.
