Combatting PTSD by letting patients hear their own brainwaves
New technology uses algorithms to turn brain signals into sounds, letting patients literally hear their own brain activity, allowing the brain to naturally “self-optimize” into a quiet pattern, resetting the stress response in PTSD.
Study suggests ‘sugar coma’ is real — glucose ingestion leads to worse cognitive performance
