Presentation Transcript

  1. Mobile health and the brain

  2. Context • 10 essentials for brain performance • Diet • Removing negative thoughts • Exercise • Brain nutrients • Positive peers • Clean environment • Sleep (Zeo, FitBit) • Brain protection • New learning • Stress management

  3. Outline • Diagnostics and passive training • Active modification

  4. Diagnostics and passive training • Indirect and direct measures of brain function via biofeedback and neurofeedback • HPA axis • Growth vs. Defense • Anabolic vs. Catabolic • Rest/Digest vs. Fight/Flight • Parasympathetic vs. Sympathetic • Stressed vs. Relaxed • Endorphins/HGH/GABA/Serotonin vs. Cortisol/Adrenaline

  5. Biofeedback (Heart-rate monitoring) • Provide a heads-up, real-time display of how the brain is doing

  6. Biofeedback (HRV)

  7. Biofeedback HRV training games (2min mark)http://vimeo.com/45933794

  11. Neurofeedback What is Neurofeedback?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxHR7InSQ1c Autism and neurofeedback (First 1:30, 3:30-5:30)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiHFI36wmzo

  12. Active modification • Using computer-controlled external signals to modify brain activity • Audio • Electrical • Magnetic

  13. Audio: Binaural Beats For example, if a frequency of 100 Hz is played in one ear and 107 Hz is played in the other ear, a binauralbeat of 7 Hz is created by the brain. Brain waves match or “follow” the binaural beat. Ifthe binaural beat is 7 Hz, an increase in brain waves of 7Hz occurs.

  14. Brainwave states

  15. Electrical: tDCS, tACS • Transcranial Direct/Alternating Current Stimulation (tDCS/tACS) • ARP POV • High-performance activities • Neurological disorders

  16. Magnetic: TMS, SomaPulse • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation • Used to stimulate stem-cell production • Trials for treating Alzheimer’s
