		<description><![CDATA[A short meta-article this time.
I noticed that there is now a last.fm page for mindmodifications.com. You can check it out here.
I think it&#8217;s a bit funny as last.fm is a site for various types of music, and the mindmodifications.com tracks consist of very simple colored noise files suitable for Ganzfeld experiments.
Anyway, currently the statistics are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BBC has an interesting article about how people who are synaesthetes can visualize flow of time.
These so-called time-space synaesthetes have superior recall when it comes to remembering when certain events took place. Could it be that they have a &#8220;built-in&#8221; visualization-association system which helps in remembering without much effort? Think of something like an &#8220;automatic&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[IEEE Spectrum Online points to interesting research lead by William J. Tyler. The research group used low-power, low-frequency (440 kHz to 670 kHz) ultrasound to stimulate areas within the brain.
This technique, called &#8220;ultrasonic neuromodulation&#8220;, works by toggling the sodium channels of a neuron, possibly triggering the release of neurotransmitters &#8211; in other words, making the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is an interesting Nature journal article about cognitive-enhancing drugs and their current legal status.
The authors argue that even though there are risks involved, the overall benefits for the individuals and the society are greater, and thus use of cognition-enhancing drugs (for example Ritalin, Modafinil, Adderall, Aricept) should be allowed for use by healthy people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The placebo effect, in a nutshell, is demonstrated like this: instead of giving a patient real medicine, he is given ineffective medicine (e.g. sugar pills) but the patient is nevertheless cured. This is because the patient thinks he is receiving real medicine and &#8220;knows&#8221; that it should work &#8211; thus, although really given ineffective medicine, [...]]]></description>

The brain can learn to permanently adapt to enhance the learning capabilities, as long as enough training and instruction are given (and the training carefully followed, of course). Check out &#8220;Remedial instruction rewires dyslexic brains, provides lasting results&#8221;.

Mr. Lenkei has a long experience with hypnosis, and is also a registered hypnotist, so his feat might be hard to achieve by someone who does not have such an extensive experience with hypnotising. But in [...]]]></description>
