In “Bugs in the Brain”‚ Robert Sapolsky makes the claim that more research is needed in order to gain a greater understanding of how the brain works and more importantly‚ to gain a greater understanding of how certain microorganisms change animals’ behaviors for their own benefits‚ such as reproduction and/or spreading to new hosts. He supports this claim mostly through the use of examples of these types of microorganisms. For example‚ he mentions mites that belong to the genus Anthennophorus‚ which

Abstract— The use of capacitive electrodes for measuring EEG eliminates the preparation procedure known from classical noninvasive EEG measurements. The insulated interface to the brain signals in combination with steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) enables a zero prep human machine interface triggered by brain signals. This paper presents a 28channel EEG helmet system based on our capacitive electrodes measuring and analyzing SSVEPs even through scalp hair. Correlation analysis is employed

experienced boredom. The purpose of this study was to determine whether boredom has an effect on the brain and which wave lengths are affected. Once more information is provided on this topic‚ it will be easier to understand the effects of boredom on the brain‚ as well as what activities and attention spans are ideal to maximize activity and prevent boredom.
