Tips on How To Improve Your Memory
How to Improve Your Memory - some very useful tips that won't cost you (or more properly Ed's lifted credit card - Ed) 20 easy payments of $19.99.
Some good practical easy to master techniques in there, though I'm not sure about the one where you look at the person and say their name.
This is not likely going to work for most males OR females.
As during introductions most males are looking at females gazonga's cursing the fact that after thousands of years of culture, and indeed millions of years of evolution, we still 'aven't figured out a way to create a socially acceptable way to reach out and nonchalantly squeeze a complete stranger's inviting delicious looking mammary gland.
(and most females are also not looking at men's faces either during introductions -Ed)
Right. Checking out our posteriors?

Checking out our packages?

Checking out George Clooney's package?

Ah. I'm presently wearing mercury-silver Nike cross-trainers what does that tell the ladies?
(I dunno, but years of experience tells me that it's time to clear the area, because he's probably not wearing anything ELSE - Ed)
well it IS bloody hot.

Brain Experiment: Expanding Cognitive Awareness
Presently I've found myself in an interesting experiment, what is effectively an 'what is it like for a girl?' phase. In an erstwhile attempt to expand my cognitive awareness slash to understand the fairer sex a bit more, I came up with the idea of immersing myself in the stimulus that I witness femmes gravitating towards.
(^Raise-Finger-to-comment - Ed)
No Ed, I don't mean wearing skirts and dating guys.
(v-Lower-Finger - Ed)
My first (unwitting - Ed) soiree into that experiment involved reading/being seen to be reading The Vagina Monologues at Chapters book store.
1. To read the work
and
2. To see what reaction I'd get being seen reading the book (being male - Ed).
I find women in general hyper-interesting (if an enigma - Ed) *cough* And perhaps more to the point, it disconcerting that there are these entirely 'other' manners of existing out there, und finally came to the conclusion one day, 'why live your entire life one way never knowing or tasting bits of all those other existences that uh exist out there?'
At present this experiment manifests with reading femme-centric-manga, listening to femme-centric-music, reading femme-writ werks, (actually "listening" to femmes - Ed) et cetera.
My conclusion thus far is something you're no doubt already well aware of, it is very cool to be a girl.
I've discovered what I believe to be some interesting dynamics and correlations. For example, femme-selected environmental-and-sensory input (such as choice of friends, peers and music) both reflects and augments certain characteristics. Almost all of which are (in my view) oft creative, emotionally-resonating and/or intellectually-stimulating.
Although this may seem obvious from an text-book vantage point, it's one thing to hear it said, and another to experience it. If only to a small degree.
It doesn't make me want to -be- female, and probably offensively (<--and rightly so to some femmes -Ed) it makes me only that much -more- protective ("typical male" response - Ed) because like Canada as a nation, I find Women in general are magnificently special camelot-like magical beings that we are bloody lucky exist in this world.
(I loathe that [Canadian Prime Minister - Ed] Harper is threatening to turn the 49th Parallel into a meaningless - when he attempts to backdoor-dismantle Medicare through deliberate systematic omission and neglect, I hope people finally take notice and stand up for Canada and say, "that's enough 'mate, you're fired, this is Canada, we pay more in our taxes, than the Americans do FOR A REASON - because we believe in putting our money where our ideals are - we're all deaded in 100 years time anyway, what difference will it make then? let some of our tax dollars 'ave seen to it that people were helped that needed it, that no one felt like nobody cared, that nobody died alone" - money has no legacy of its own, it's how it's spent that defines us as a people. imo)
Sorry, tangent relapse.
Anyway, I would summarize the findings of my experiment this way: I find that Women ultimately are (now) defining themselves with far fewer socially-or-internally-applied inhibitors than Men do (id est. imo males have more behavior and thought inhibitors than women presently do - spreching on average).
Ergo, women are now, in my view, constructing their own, uh, constructs from a larger possible potentiality pool, with far more (internal) leverage and freedom.
And I would stipulate as a hypotheses, that imo women are therefore presently Evolving at a higher rate.
I imagine it will balance out in the long run, as males begin our next evolutionary spurt, but, this, is the time to be a femme.
Imo.
I realize there is an observable inherent possibly offensive irony 'ere (you don't say - Ed) *cough* that I could be taken to task for, namely the audacity of a male attempting to comment on your femmes existence, but I would only say that I do not profess to fully 'understand' Women, I only profess to be trying to.
Und to be enjoying the trip.
For anyone wishing to expand their cognitive awareness, I would highly sugg attempting your own personal variation on the experiment. Immersing yourself in the opposite sex's stimuli for awhile, and examining how your mind is affected.

[color therapy] The Pink Diet - John Hopkins Medical Center - Pink Suppresses Appetite
We know they're up to something, but we're never sure entirely what.
What fast-food companies and advertisers don't want us to know:
According to scientific research at John Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, colors operate on the human brain and nervous system in a manner that produces distinct and quantifiable (repeatable) reactions in human beings.
The Science: Physiological Functions Respond to Specific Colors.
Before we list the colors and their proven effects, let's ask, what are McDonald's and Burger King's predominant colors?
when I think of McDonald's I think of the Yellow M, when contemplating Burger King (not necessarily the new creepy homicidal mascot king, that's another subject!) I'm thinking Orange and Brown.
Specific colors and their proven effects.
Black: self-confidence, power, strength.
Blue: calming, lowers blood pressure, decreases respiration.
Green: soothing, relaxing mentally as well as physically, helps those suffering from depression, anxiety, nervousness.
Violet: suppresses appetite, provides a peaceful environment, good for migraines.
Pink: used in diet therapy as an appetite suppressant, relaxes muscles, relieves tension, soothing.
Yellow: energizes, relieves depression, improves memory, stimulates appetite.
Orange: energizes, stimulates appetite and digestive system.
Red: stimulates brain wave activity, increases heart rate, respirations and blood pressure, excites sexual glands.
---
^Raise-Eyebrow.
Let's back up to Pink.
if you're on a diet or want to shed a few pounds, you can trigger appetite-suppression simply and effectively by placing something large and pink directly in your visual periphery.
id est. near PC monitor, on top of tv, on desk at work.
(or wear pink tinted sunglassess - Ed)
Waiting for the full article to go online at the John Hopkins Medical Center website. In the interim, to learn more, here's a good summary of Color therapy

CyberNeuroPhysiological Control - Entrain your brain with your PC or your iPod
How To Infuence your Brainwaves:
THE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE:
A brainwave frequency pattern ("Brainwave") co-relates directly to your state of being.
ie. happy, sad, euphoric, tired, pensive, energized, creative, sexy, et al.
Each/All human states have a specific brainwave frequency associated with them.
The base frequencies discovered:
0.5Hz - 3.5Hz Deep sleep - Delta
3.5Hz - 8Hz Drowsiness - Theta
8Hz - 13Hz Relaxed but alert - Alpha
13Hz - 30Hz Highly alert and focused - Beta
The Question: What happens if a brain-wave frequency (read on an EEG) is identical in two people. Does that mean they are in the same state?
The Answer: Yes. people with the same brain wave frequency pattern are in the same state.
The Conclusion: if you can bring about a specific brain-wave pattern in a person, that person will experience the state associated with that brain-wave pattern. They will BE in that state.
Research into generating brain-wave patterns has resulted in at least 2 present day medicinal scientific fields: biofeedback-therapy and neurofeedback-therapy.
Click here for CNN article on biofeedback and neurofeedback
But we don't all want to attach electrodes to our head.
Thankfully, there are other ways to influence brain waves.
Today sound (audio/binaural brainwave frequency influence) and images (strobe-light brainwave frequency influence) can be used to influence and bring about specific brain-wave patterns and therefore states.
You can test this yourself by getting a Brainwave generator (on the Web) with sound files to influence your brain-wave pattern and change your state.

Increase Study Alertness with 10 minute Brainwave-Synchronization Audio File
FROM: http://www.grasshopper.com/mind-games/digital-expresso/
BEGIN Article Excerpt:
Digital Espresso
Replace coffee with this mp3 designed to entrain your brain
If you’ve stopped drinking coffee but miss the buzz, this one’s for you. Wake up in the morning, afternoon —get extra mental energy and focus before studies or meetings with this 10 minute entrainment from grasshopper.com. Digital Espresso uses a research protocol successful with patients of CFS, depression, ADHD and found to reliably increase energy and motivation. Put on some headphones, kick back, close your eyes and let the pulses massage your brain and the frequencies wake up those slacker neurons. A high speed connection is recommended.
END article.
Begin Opine (mine)
This Brain Hack works.
Stumbled onto audio induced brainwave-synchronization by accident a few months back when I jacklinked the PC's soundcard into a Panasonic ghetto blaster's (only available) input: the mic port.
The subsequent sound bleeding led to white noise at pitch levels and intervals (creating a crackling/popping rhythm) that observably relaxed my brain when surfing the interweb.
The Digital Expresso audio (see above) conversely is designed as an mental energy booster.
Introspectively, I find it acts best as a brain-hemisphere "balancer", where it generates the sensation of cleanliness and equilibrium within the mind.
Like an etch-a-sketch that has just been shook clean and is ready and waiting to have its knobs fiddled about with.
