  • The Glass Brain Video

    This beautiful video of brain activity comes from Neuroscapelab, the University of California at San Diego’s Scwhartz Center for Computational Neuroscience and the University of California at San Francisco Gazzaley Lab.

    Your brain is an incredibly complex system. Its ability to take in information and optimize itself is at the heart of how NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback® works. This video will give you a feel for that complexity.

    The Glass Brain

    Here’s how the makers of the video describe The Glass Brain:

    This is an anatomically-realistic 3D brain visualization depicting real-time source-localized activity (power and “effective” connectivity) from EEG (electroencephalographic) signals. Each color represents source power and connectivity in a different frequency band (theta, alpha, beta, gamma) and the golden lines are white matter anatomical fiber tracts. Estimated information transfer between brain regions is visualized as pulses of light flowing along the fiber tracts connecting the regions.

    Ian Stewart says in The Collapse of Chaos: Discovering Simplicity in a Complex World, “If our brains were simple enough for us to understand them, we’d be so simple that we couldn’t.” It’s wonderful, isn’t it, what we have running our show?
