Brain Research

What a stimulating, grounding and high quality discussion we enjoyed in our class this evening about brain science, stimulation, the central nervous system and ways to think about effecting our contexts to better effect ourselves.

Here is some follow-up from Ms. Jaundoo's points and questions.

First, a TED talk in which Dr. Dimitri Christakis addresses sound stimulation and brain function

Next, an article that is one of a recent popular wave about the central nervous system, overstimulation and the body's biorhythms.


And, finally a few resources that address stress, trauma and the brain:
