BM-Science is proud to announce its researchers contribution to the newly published volume Hypnosis Part A in the prestigious International Review of Neurobiology book series.

The chapter of BM-Science researchers, titled “Echoes of the Self: A Neurophenomenological Journey into the Shifting Realms of Selfhood in Neutral Hypnosis”, explores the dynamic intersections of neuroscience, phenomenology, self-consciousness, and hypnosis. This work offers fresh insights into how altered states of consciousness can illuminate the mechanisms of selfhood and human cognition.

Curiosities of the Brain

How does the Brain breathe?

Brain needs 10 times more oxygen than the whole organism.
What Brain cannot do?

It cannot feel pain. The brain can feel pain from all over the body, but not within itself. The brain cannot store oxygen. The brain cannot store glucose (blood sugar)
Should you make the Brain drunk?

Very low doses can have the positive effect of reducing damage caused by mental or emotional stress and can actually improve response times. In sustained high doses alcohol “shrinks” the brain that results in cognitive impairment. Foetal alcohol exposure has multiple bad effects on infant brain development and represents a leading cause of mental retardation.
