…ing themselves, then they are not responsible for the harm they impose. They have no choice. Unbeknownst to them, their brain has been hijacked by a creative fiction writer. They are following a script, but have no sense of its author. Dike’s summary is based on a loose and ecle...

…ese are the ideas that I will explore in this chapter. Before discussing the scientific evidence that explains how the brain distorts reality by dehumanizing and self-deceiving — two core elements of denial —— we must understand how the brain creates the reality of humanization,...

…nect the dots, fitting features we have seen and heard to personality configurations stored by informal category in our brain files. Our conclusions about them “being one of those” can both facilitate and impair our perceptions. Eastern metaphysicians, Western mystical religionis...

…ogical systems. The latter include calcium conductance oscillations in the excitable membranes of muscle, heart and the brain, cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular flutter as well as oscillations in population numbers in foxes and rabbits, predator-prey systems. California Ins...

…gst each other but do not interfere with or modulate each others’ internal functioning in real-time. However, the human brain appears to be integrative in a much tighter sense, involving rich real-time dynamical coupling between various components with distinct but related functi...

…en’s learning and development and was one of the founders of the field of “theory of mind.” She has spoken of the child brain as a “powerful learning computer,” perhaps from personal experience. Her own Philadelphia childhood was an exercise in intellectual development. “Other fa...

…racteristic amplitude and time scales. From this point of view, if most or all information is widely distributed in the brain (e.g., serial order of visual tasks involving motor cortical neurons, Carpenter et al, 1999) ) then the “binding problem” (see above) could also be solved...

…ly got to understand humanists reptilian past, reptilian inherited genetics. One of the most ancient parts of the human brain is known by science as the R complex, for reptilian brain. We get these traits—cold-blooded behavior, ritualistic behavior, desire for top-down power over...

known or explorable brain mechanisms, one might argue that at this early stage of the work it would be more desirable to simply report the quantitative findings, leaving unanswerable questions about ultimate causality for later discussion (see below). The first EEG 4(+) was rep...

…996). Peripheral nerve stimulation in the earlobe and trapezius muscle induced increments in Dz in the EEG of specific brain regions (Heffernan, 1996). Memory for but not induced pain increased EEG D2 in chronic pain patients but not in normal controls (Lutzenberger et al, 1997)...

…nces the thesis that the belief in pseudo-conspiracies proceeds from the “quirks and foibles” in the way that the human brain, or at least some human brains, process evidence. He lucidly reviews studies showing common defects in the brain’s wiring, such as the bias that selects e...

…HC. Myrcene is understood to enable and hasten the psychoactive effect of THC by lowering resistance posed by the blood-brain barrier and increasing the THC saturation capacity of the CB1 receptors. Other terpenes have been shown to block endocannabinoid receptors in the brain wh...
