A #Christmas / #Holiday #Wish: May your Flutter Precede Magnificently Beneficial Nonlinear Dynamical Results in #Resilience and #Flexibility. 🙏

#ProTips on how to talk about NeurOptimal®. 🙂

1. How to pronounce NeurOptimal®: Neur Optimal (no double “o”). 1/
2. Be careful in using the terms “neuroplasticity,” or “neurological pathways” as there is no direct data in support of, or contraindicating the use of NeurOptimal® in this regard.

3. NeurOptimal® only provides information to the brain about its own electrical activity. 2/
It does this by measuring your brain’s electrical activity at the scalp, through the sensors and the zAmp (one way measurement only and nothing is input into the brain). It is Training, it is not treatment. 3/
4. The signal is amplified (brain electrical activity is measured in microvolts), converted from analog to digital via the zAmp and a first pass at the proprietary inline adaptive denoising by attenuating the powerful electrical mains current - 110-120 volts, 60 Hz in Canada… 4/
…and the USA, 220 to 240 volts, 50 Hz in other international locations. 5/
5. The information is then processed by the mathematical algorithms that are unique to NeurOptimal® - Joint Time-Frequency Analysis - JTFA and Nonlinear Dynamical System - NDS - Control Processes - which “speak” the language of the brain/CNS in terms of perception and memory… 6/
…and involves information processing. 7/
6. EEG is not a sine wave, it is a 4-Dimensional phasor and NeurOptimal® uses a corresponding 4-Dimensional process in providing feedback in the form of interruptions in the audio stream by measuring the Duration, Intensity, Frequency and Shifts (DIFS) noticed within the… 8/
…signal. NeurOptimal® does not Train states and brains don’t “wave.” 9/
7. “Flutter” (think of the flutter of a hummingbird as it is about to change position) noticed in the electrical signal of the brain by NeurOptimal® precedes the initiation of a change in phase-state and can trigger an interruption in the audio stream. 10/
8. Sidebar: “Flutter” is neither good nor bad and NeurOptimal® does not seek to minimize it. 11/
Also, “Flutter” precedes a change in the phase-state in all Nonlinear Dynamical Systems and the brain is a Nonlinear Dynamical System that is self-organizing based on information value. 12/
9. The brain then notices the interrupt as a difference in the information provided to it (pause or interrupt in the audio) that is in response to its own electrical activity (offering the orienting response to the brain). 13/
This allows it to make a decision on whether to continue the phase-state change or re-organize back to the previous state. 14/
10. The brain/CNS is the most marvelous Nonlinear Dynamical System in the known universe and processes information from both the internal environment and the external environment constantly and responds to that information in order to minimize discomfort. 15/
11. So, NeurOptimal® acts like a “mirror” to the brain and gives it the choice to do what it does best. 16/
12. If this response to the potential phase-state change leads to a decrease in overall discomfort to the brain, it will continue to use that comprehensive behavioral repertoire. 17/
13. There are 4 distinct control procedures of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems that all processes will fall into: Extrinsic Constraints, Chaotic Perturbation, Entrain and Migrate, and Synchronization through Chaos - which is what NeurOptimal® uses and is defined above.

#ProTips sur la façon de parler de NeurOptimal®. 🙂

1. Comment prononcer NeurOptimal® : Neur Optimal (sans double " o "). 19/
2. Soyez prudent lorsque vous utilisez les termes "neuroplasticité" ou "voies neurologiques", car il n'existe pas de données directes soutenant ou contre-indiquant l'utilisation de NeurOptimal® à cet égard. 20/
3. NeurOptimal® fournit uniquement des informations au cerveau sur sa propre activité électrique. 21/
Pour ce faire, il mesure l'activité électrique de votre cerveau au niveau du cuir chevelu, par le biais des capteurs et du zAmp (mesure unidirectionnelle uniquement et rien n'est transmis au cerveau). Il s'agit d'une Training et non d'un traitement. 22/
4. Le signal est amplifié (l'activité électrique du cerveau est mesurée en microvolts), converti de l'analogique au numérique via le zAmp et subit un premier passage au débruitage adaptatif en ligne exclusif en atténuant le puissant courant électrique du secteur - 110-120… 23/
…volts, 60 Hz au Canada et aux États-Unis, 220 à 240 volts, 50 Hz dans les autres pays. 24/
5. L'information est ensuite traitée par les algorithmes mathématiques propres à NeurOptimal® - Analyse conjointe temps-fréquence (JTFA) et Système dynamique non linéaire (NDS) - Processus de contrôle - qui "parlent" le langage du cerveau/CNS en termes de perception et de… 25/
…mémoire et impliquent le traitement de l'information. 26/
6. L'EEG n'est pas une onde sinusoïdale, c'est un phasor à 4 dimensions et NeurOptimal® utilise un processus à 4 dimensions correspondant pour fournir un retour d'information sous la forme d'interruptions dans le flux audio en mesurant la durée, l'intensité, la fréquence et… 27/
…les décalages (DIFS) remarqués dans le signal. NeurOptimal® n'entraîne pas d'états et le cerveau ne "vague" pas. 28/
7. Le "flottement" (pensez au flottement d'un colibri lorsqu'il est sur le point de changer de position) remarqué dans le signal électrique du cerveau par NeurOptimal® précède l'initiation d'un changement d'état de phase et peut déclencher une interruption du flux audio. 29/
8. Encadré : Le "flutter" n'est ni bon ni mauvais et NeurOptimal® ne cherche pas à le minimiser. 30/
De plus, le "flottement" précède un changement d'état de phase dans tous les systèmes dynamiques non linéaires et le cerveau est un système dynamique non linéaire qui s'auto-organise en fonction de la valeur de l'information. 31/
9. Le cerveau remarque alors l'interruption comme une différence dans l'information qui lui est fournie (pause ou interruption de l'audio) qui est en réponse à sa propre activité électrique (offrant la réponse d'orientation au cerveau). 32/
Cela lui permet de décider s'il doit poursuivre le changement d'état de phase ou se réorganiser pour revenir à l'état précédent.

10. Le cerveau/CNS est le plus merveilleux système dynamique non linéaire de l'univers connu. 33/
Il traite en permanence les informations provenant de l'environnement interne et de l'environnement externe et réagit à ces informations afin de minimiser l'inconfort. 34/
11. Ainsi, NeurOptimal® agit comme un "miroir" pour le cerveau et lui donne le choix de faire ce qu'il fait le mieux. 35/
12. Si cette réponse au changement potentiel d'état de phase entraîne une diminution de l'inconfort global pour le cerveau, celui-ci continuera à utiliser ce répertoire comportemental complet. 36/
13. Il existe 4 procédures de contrôle distinctes des systèmes dynamiques non linéaires dans lesquelles tous les processus s'inscrivent : Contraintes extrinsèques, Perturbation chaotique, Entraînement et migration, et Synchronisation par le chaos - c'est ce que NeurOptimal®… 37/
…utilise et qui est défini ci-dessus. 38/

Social Media - A Haiku

Reflections morning
Help me with better input
despite the expert
Whenever I see someone touting themselves as an expert in Social Media, I checked their @Twitter profile, IF they have one. Small follower list, blast but don't engage... Charlatan. It's the hardest venue to master but the absolute best way to tell if someone is full of it.
@Twitter Not experts in Social Media per se BUT they do engage in a friendly and social manner here on @Twitter. First, on the list and highly recommended #Follow - @RadioAndrewE 🙏
More to come...

Zengar® ---> NeurOptimal®
In the 1970's Valdeane W. Brown, PhD (Val) had a vision of what brain Training could become and that everyone would have access to their own information and enjoy the opportunity for Personal Transformation through the use of it. 1/
In 1996, Susan Cheshire Brown, PhD (Sue), met Val and and they began their amazing, iterative and collaborative journey over the years and created the company - Zengar® that has ultimately transformed the vision into the reality of their amazing journey - NeurOptimal®. 2/

#Fun, TRUE #LouiseHay #Story

I had an amazing opportunity in meeting Louise Hay a few years ago. 1/
Dr. Jeffrey Thompson introduced me and my co-students to Louise Hay at the celebration dinner after successful completion of his Holistic Practitioner Certification Course in 2015. 2/
Louise brought out a small, cocktail fork at the dinner table and when we asked her what's up with that, she picked up the regular fork and compared it with the cocktail fork. She pointed at the regular fork and said, "Just look at this fork - it's OBSCENE! 3/
