Treatment idea – A chair with a speaker optimized for between .5 – 5Hz signals.

Going through some research on vibration/resonance therapies and the effect sizes on them are kind of eye popping (ahoooooga). I’m wondering what the bill of materials on a chair designed for daily use that also provided this type of stimulation. Imagine your office chair helping instead of hurting you in prolonged use. It seems like …

Antibodies as a type of chemical memory

Vascular system has a “memory” system that runs parallel with the nervous system. The vascular system uses a system similar to how b cells create antibodies to create molecular memory/instructions which can then be utilized by organs in a semi-independent, asynchronous manner. Might be that the primary function of the immune system isn’t to ward …

Cybernetic Formulation of the Definition of Life

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022519301922623 I know this is an old one, but the chain is REALLY fascinating especially a few of the recent cites. With regard to this one particularly, their proposed definition of life caught my eye: In this formulation, life (a living individual) is defined as a network of inferior negative feedbacks (regulatory mechanisms) subordinated to …

How many cells does it take to make you, you?

Got caught up in a conversation that I normally avoid like the plague, whether or not it’s possible to replicate human “consciousness” in human created systems (that aren’t biological in origin). An interesting though arose, since mechanics necessary to instantiate system level control are such a tiny percentage of total nervous system size, instead of …

Ooops

Just realized I had a few posts intended for a different project, I apologize for those. Astrocytes as singular self-aware units which independently instantiate behavior just feels like an amazing bit of coherence for a lot of weird pathology. It makes me think of the randomness in organ rejection in transplant patients, why is it …
