Ok, not gonna lie but this drawing that I just finished means a lot to me. It's autobiographical, and it's based off of this one of the specific time I remember as a kid! For those who don't know, I have epilepsy and got diagnosed when I was just a baby.

My childhood was filled with week/ month long seizure studies at the local children's hospital, and since I've been getting those same seizure studies done again as an adult, I started thinking about those times when I was a kid again.

I remember as a kid, I would get really upset and annoyed at all the wires on my head and especially how much the glue and pressure hurt after a while, until it hit me. The wires gave me rainbow hair! I was 5 years old, and I finally reached a realization that made me hate it a lot less! Thinking about it again, I decided to draw what I remembered!

Also the Betty Spaghetti dolls are important to the memory too. They had plastic wire-like hair that was colorful! Playing with them is what gave me the idea that my wires could count as "hair" too!

Note: This was back in 2000. Currently with studies like these you can carry around the device that connects all the wires in a pocket so you could move around. As a kid, they had to stay connected to the wall at all times or on a huge device that could only be moved by the doctor. Again, I drew it how I remembered it!

Here is a random thought with no context:

I think in the future, systems will be able to pilot two bodies at once.

The inventor of electroencephalography (EEG), Hans Berger, was motivated to try to understand the electrical fields produced by the brain partially because of a seemingly telepathic experience that his sister had. Berger was almost run over by a horse pulling a cannon, and when he got home, he received a concerned telegram from his father sent at the request of his sister (who lived miles away), inquiring about Berger's health. His family had never previously sent him a telegram (Millett, 2001). "It was a case of spontaneous telepathy in which at a time of mortal danger, and as I contemplated certain death, I transmitted my thoughts, while my sister, who was particularly close to me, acted as the receiver" (J. Berger, 1940, p. 6).

DARPA Brain Technologies: Electrical Prescriptions (ElectRx) This is some pretty old tech source. Wonder what kind of psychedelics though? The ElectRx program aims to help the human body heal itself through neuromodulation of organ functions using ultraminiaturized devices, approximately the size of individual nerve fibers, which could be delivered through minimally invasive injection.

Neural Engineering System Design (NESD) Looks like they're beating Elon to the punch here. The NESD program aims to develop an implantable neural interface able to provide unprecedented signal resolution and data-transfer bandwidth between the brain and the digital world.

Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) The N3 program aims to develop a safe, portable neural interface system capable of reading from and writing to multiple points in the brain at once. Whereas the most advanced existing neurotechnology requires surgical implantation of electrodes, N3 is pursuing high-resolution technology that works without the requirement for surgery so that it can be used by able-bodied people.

Six Paths to the Nonsurgical Future of Brain-Machine Interfaces

Nonsurgical Neural Interfaces Could Significantly Expand Use of Neurotechnology Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT) Matrix Shit The TNT program seeks to advance the pace and effectiveness of cognitive skills training through the precise activation of peripheral nerves that can in turn promote and strengthen neuronal connections in the brain. TNT will pursue development of a platform technology to enhance learning of a wide range of cognitive skills, with a goal of reducing the cost and duration of the Defense Department’s extensive training regimen, while improving outcomes.

Neuro Function, Activity, Structure and Technology (Neuro-FAST) The Neuro-FAST program seeks to enable unprecedented visualization and decoding of brain activity to better characterize and mitigate threats to the human brain, as well as facilitate development of brain-in-the loop systems to accelerate and improve functional behaviors. The program has developed CLARITY, a revolutionary tissue-preservation method, and builds off recent discoveries in genetics, optical recordings and brain-computer interfaces. Restoring Active Memory (RAM) The RAM program aims to develop and test a wireless, fully implantable neural-interface medical device for human clinical use. The device would facilitate the formation of new memories and retrieval of existing ones in individuals who have lost these capacities as a result of traumatic brain injury or neurological disease.

Here we go again, another day looking at EEG data and pretending I actually know what I’m doing 🙃

I have a meeting at 11 a.m so, obviously I stopped being able to focus on anything at 10 a.m

At least I have yet to feel like I suck at everything this week, although it’s only Wednesday, I have time!

So I've finally found a neurologist over the past month or two I've already had an EEG, (which they put all these electrodes and bandages all around my head and chest and recorded for 72 hours) and EMG (they had to electrocute me for that one, not too bad though) Also a brain MRI *which came back normal thank God),

then a full panel blood test and this week I have a 3 part MRI for my spine where these weird seizure/stroke like things are happening from ever since my "family member's ™️" hard drug and thrill addicted, prison bird antics. That person truly is a psychopath far more than you know.

So, When my neurologist did the EEG, he did observe nerve damage there so that's why he ordered the spine MRI and the only other ring left so far is a sleep study to do. I think we're getting close to finally figure out what this is and put a name on it and treat it properly. 💙 I'm quite hopeful but just wanted to tell you this has been the real goings-on lately. Your support, prayers and good vibes are much appreciated. I'm doing fine 💙

I love your blog! How do you give some one an EEG? How does it work? Also, what would it look like if someone was sleeping when they got their EEG?

An EEG, or electroencephalogram, is a recording of the electrical activity in the brain. It can be used to monitor or diagnose certain conditions like epilepsy, dementia, brain tumors, and sleep problems.

A technician attaches 23 electrodes (small metal discs attached to wires) to the patient's head with a gel or glue, which allows the electrodes to pick up electrical activity from below the surface of the skull.

The technician then records the electrical activity while asking the patient to do various tasks. These tasks are dependent on the purpose of the EEG, but generally include breathing very deeply for a certain amount of time, looking at a flashing light, opening or closing their eyes, sleeping, reading a passage of text, drawing or doing something creative, solving a problem, or simply resting.

Sometimes, a patient may be asked to stay awake the night before, so they will be drowsy and able to fall asleep during the EEG. They may also be asked to hold off on taking certain medications. The EEG recording usually lasts about 20-40 minutes, but can be longer. In some cases, the patient may go home with a portable EEG attached, which they may wear for 1-3 days. When it's done, the technician removes the electrodes, which often leave a sticky residue that the patient must wash off.

The waves from each electrode are evaluated based on the location of that electrode and the quality of the waves. Waves are defined based on amplitude and frequency. Amplitude is how tall the wave is, while frequency is how many waves there are over a set amount of time. The same type of wave may mean something different if it comes from a different electrode location on the scalp.

EEG waves look different depending on what the person is doing. Someone who is awake generally has higher frequency, lower amplitude waves (though these can change somewhat with different tasks the person is doing), while someone who is asleep can have many different types of waves depending on their sleep stage. There may also be recognizable sections that have specific meanings, like "K-complexes" or "sleep spindles", which also help indicate specific stages of sleep. Seizure activity is usually indicated by a sudden increase in amplitude and frequency, which can be in all leads (generalized seizure) or in only some of the leads (focal or partial seizure).

The following is a 2-minute video that explains what the different sleep stages look like on an EEG recording:

Morning everyone. I'm beginning my second day of a three-day ambulatory EEG. My scalp hurts like hell and I want to punch the sun. I'm losing a week of work over this. I'll probably be posting a lot today. I need the distraction and I'm not able to actually go anywhere or do anything.
