Past experiences do matter...

Researchers at NYU School of Medicine have been researching the brain to discover how past memories affect our current state of getting information from our senses.  The brain perceives pieces of images without getting the full picture, then the body reacts to a blurred image as something that could be entirely different.  This can be linked to people that have hallucinations and how the brain gets overwhelmed with what it is currently experiencing.  
With this experiment the subjects were given images that were blurred and then they were given increasing clearer images of the dog, for example.  Their brains were being measured by an fMRI that could measure the activity of the brain and the different areas that fired up as the brain started to recognize the image.  This would be a fun way to watch the brain and how it processes information.

LENS neurofeedback helps the brain to process information in a better way.  This helps people to become more organized and able to process information better.
