The ability of people to instantly identify the pitch of a note without using any guide is referred to as perfect pitch. They are also able to reproduce this notes (via song or instrument) without the use of guides. Some people believe that this ability is very uncommon. They are right. It is estimated that about one in ten thousand people posses this unique ability. Because of this many people have grown to believe that the ability can only be passed through genes. This is n

I was talking to my mother-in-law a few years ago, and the subject turned to “What comes next for humanity?” She proposed that in order to progress in intelligence human brain size would have to increase. To do this, future humans would have to be born “outside of the body” as she put it. It was an interesting topic, and one worth considering. I am a computer programmer and so I am influenced by the development of technology in other aspects of my life. I considered how that
You can want to change, consciously, and give it your best try. It can be very difficult if deep inside, you really don’t have the desire. For example, quitting smoking has been known to be the hardest thing a person can ever do. But we all know someone who did it, cold turkey, without looking back or going through the agony that most people do when the ‘try’ to stop smoking.
Your lucky number can play a minor or major role in your life. A good numerologist will say that they can work out who is compatible with you - simply by taking your name and date of birth and that of your intended partner - whether or not a home is compatable with you, which dates and times are best to do certain things and much more. But we all have a special number which relates to us throughout our lives and we need to know what it is and use it sensible regularly. We all
Not only are smokers being treated worse and worse in today’s society, but they are also being bilked out of exorbitant taxes! Further, we all know that there are health risks involved - particularly if you continue smoking for a long period of time. Your circulation, especially in the legs, will suffer. You’re also at risk of respiratory and heart problems. So, all of that being said, you can save yourself a ton of grief by getting through the transition to freedom, now. The decision to stop smoking must be a deep one.
How does our brain work? Is it divided into two distinct parts or is it the sum of more than 2 parts? In the late 1960âs, Professor Roger Sperry of California, who was awarded a Nobel prize for his research, informed the world of his findings into the brainâs most highly evolved area, the cerebral cortex. Since then, scientists have made several distinctions on how the brain functions. Sperryâs initial findings indicated that the two sides, or hemispheres, of the cortex

The actual storage capacity of the human brain has never been measured, although it has been estimated that during our lifetime we store about ten times more information than is contained in all the books in the Library of Congress.nAnthony Smith, in his beautiful book, âThe Mindâ quotes that if a computer were to be constructed like a human brain, there would have to be ten thousand million of the most minutest transistor valves which at a few pence each, would cost 375
Sudoku is a Japanese word meaning single number. The now worldwide popular game by the same name is a Japanese puzzle that gained fame a few years ago. Sudoku is a logic based puzzle with 9x9 grids that are to be filled with digits 1 to 9. The 9x9 grids further have sub-squares of 3x3 which also need to be filled with digits 1 to 9. All you have to do is arrange 1 to 9 digits once in each row and each column in each of the nine 3x3 grids. This makes it a tough game to crack!

Being able to remember the many things that you need to do in generating sales leads is a mark of a good appointment setter. And if you are doing business in Malaysia, memory may mean everything. If you answer the phone and someone says you called them previously, it means you just got a potential deal in the making. But if you answer blankly because you honestly cannot remember if you called the prospect or not, then you are in for trouble. While there are post-it notes and
Being an avid subliminal messaging fan and recently stumbling across Brain Wave Entrainment, I, like you, wanted to find out as much as I could about this new self-improvement technique and whether or not it produces better results than subliminal messaging, or if the two can be used together. Anyway, after doing some research, I managed to come up with some answers. While the concept behind Brain Wave Entainment is different from subliminal messaging, the results are very s

We all know our brain has a lot to do with our behaviors. If this is so, why can't we just decide to change, and then do it? We do control our brains, right? Well, right and wrong. It is much easier to change a pattern if we understand a few things about how the brain works that are not well known. The most important thing to recognize is that the brain is designed to conserve energy. It takes less energy to run an old brain pattern (a habit!) than to set up a new one. So we all have a tendency to just continue to do the same old things in the same old way.

It is a known fact that our minds, more specifically our subconscious minds, control our lives. We are what we think or believe. Research has shown that there is a mind-body connection and that the mind can help us overcome health problems. There are many ways to reprogram your mind: NLP, hypnosis, visualization, EFT, havening, affirmations and coaching. The method you choose will depend on your mind-set and budget. You may feel able to make positive changes on your own with
There are some who believe that perfect pitch training is not worthwhile because they think a person cannot learn the skill, that you must be born with it. It may surprise you, though, that the majority of musical scholars are aware that the ability can be developed as an adult. There is, however, an element of doubt in many minds as to whether you can purposely train yourself to have perfect pitch and how to do it. There are several common methods in use to try to teach the

The unconscious mind has an unlimited ability to hold information; it never sleeps, and it is always absorbing information and data. Your unconscious intends to protect you in any way that it can; it kept you from falling off the bed last night, didnât it? It was aware of the edge of the bed and kept you away from it, just far enough to be safe. nnThe problem is that the unconscious mind - about 97 percent of the brain - is not very smart, at least in a logical way.

Memorization tires most of us. Admit it; we’d rather glance on our palm tops or organizers once in a while for convenience. Memorization is something we don’t want to deal with for the rest of our lives although we deal with it in school because it’s something we need to do.nnNow that’s just odd. When we need to do something, we tend to give our best shot at it. Why can’t we do the same thing with our simple everyday activities?nnOne effective an

There are nine basic processes for taking in information. Let's briefly explore each one to determine the advantages and disadvantages of each. 1. Reading has the advantages of being portable, and to some degree, self-paced. Review and repetition are effortless. Disadvantages include badly-written material and poor reading skills (eyesight, dyslexia, bad habits). Uncontrollable distractions also come into play. 2. Audio, although limited to one sense, has the great advantage these days of being highly portable. Lectures and presentations can be recorded and played back on the go.
When you thought you have everything placed for memorization use, think again. The fact is; there’s a big possibility that these things could be the very element why you forget important information which you should’ve been retaining in the first place.nnHaving said this, lets cite an example – you. When you try to remember something, you work hard on doing it right? Sometimes, you rely on things like organizers to help you better in retaining the informatio
What is perfect pitch? To be able to recognize or recreate a musical note at will, you must possess perfect pitch, also called absolute pitch. The ability allows a musician to perform many skills, including tuning an instrument, singing any note at will, or transcribing very quickly and in the correct key. Although the ability is quite rare (about 1 in 10,000), many musicians who have it are adept at both identifying and recreating notes. The Theory of Perfect Pitch The impor
It is important to hand-write your goals on paper, the action of writing them helping to imprint them on your brain. However, before writing them - be they material, emotional, or spiritual goals - identify what price you are willing to pay to achieve them. At some point, expose to yourself your barriers and excuses, and confront them, writing them on another piece of paper. This list is not intended for you to dwell upon, but merely to show your acknowledgement. Compliment yourself and celebrate as you conquer each barrier or excuse.
The most rapid brain growth occurs during the first year of life with the infant’s brain tripling in size by the first birthday. During this stage of rapid central nervous system growth, the brain uses 60% of the total energy consumed by the infant. Fats are major components of the brain cell membrane and the myelin sheath around each. So it would make sense that getting enough fat, and especially the right kinds of fat can greatly affect one's brain development and performance especially in the formative first year of life.
The subject of how perfect pitch is developed is a controversial one. There is still the question of whether the ability develops at a very early age or whether one is actually born with perfect pitch. Most agree, it is learned at a very young age. Many people believe it is a skill, which can be acquired while others disagree, even when presented with evidence to the contrary. rnThere are a few analogies to describe the experience and mechanism of perfect pitch, which are oft
Viewing, browsing or having pornography on the work computer can lead to job dismissal particularly in the current economic environment with approximately ten percent unemployment and the uncertainty about the economic recovery.

Have you ever had problems in remembering names, numbers, grocery items needed, and other little details such as the location where you placed your car keys this morning?

I was on my way to an appointment last week and suddenly had one of those moments that is happening more frequently over time. Speeding down the highway, lost in thought about a variety of things, I suddenly thought: “Where am I going?” Then once I remembered, said to myself, “I can’t believe I forgot!” Maybe you’ve had those moments too? Maybe you were calling someone and while the phone was ringing, you suddenly realized you forgot who you were calling? Or you studied and studied for an exam, but when you sat down to take it, your mind was blank? You can’t believe you forgot.
Stress, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, sleep deprivation, mentally undemanding work, smoking, and many other factors are responsible for the faster rate of aging in the brain. It is not really surprising that people in their late 30s are already experiencing memory gaps and poor problem-solving skills. nnThe scary thing about this is the seeming neglect that many people feel regarding their mental acuity and brain power. Many feel that such cognitive difficulties are all d

The brain is a powerful piece of machinery, and while we are each given just one brain, none of us actually know how to fully use this wonderful contraption at the crown of our noggin. This is because we have not been given a manual on how to fully optimise the potential power of the brain. Even if there were one, how would we as human beings reach deep down into the cortex and possibly the subconscious mind, rewire the subconscious, and mould the mind into a staggering tool
Are you taking control of your life, or are others around you taking your rightful seat in your pilot cockpit and steering your life for you while you take the passenger seat? The truth is, no one out there, not even your parents, should be your life master. Because if they do, you’ll never reach your full potential of what you want to achieve in life. Think about this for a moment. If you have control over your life’s decisions and you achieve your life goals, who’s the ha
A friend of mine is a construction contractor specializing in tiles. During a recent conversation, he was complaining that his previous job was problematic because it was a renovation rather than new construction. When he removed old walls and plumbing, he uncovered many examples of shoddy work and substandard materials. This required unplanned and unbudgeted extra work, which in turn reduced his profit margin. I thought that this was a valuable analogy for personal growth.

Cognition is a process of receiving information from conscious mind inside the brain and processing it to extract some meaning from the subconscious mind. This process involves stages like judgment, reasoning and perception. However, this process is made up of complex networks such that at every time the brain should be at work, in this activity or the other in a bid to keep smooth flow of the information, hence, making the cognitive skills stronger. Cognitive skills are esse
ERASE THE URGE TO SMOKE Changing a habit is hard work—unless you know how. Your Right Brain can supply short-cuts that most people do not know. The change work is hard because we are designed to conserve energy, and it takes more energy to start a new brain pattern than to run an old existing habit. So we keep doing the same old, same old, even though we wish to stop. By learning more about your own brain, and particularly your own Right Brain, you can make changing a habit much easier. The key is to interrupt the old pattern often enough so that it simply gives up.
