A neuroscientist from MIT is advancing an idea that brain waves are not just background activity but the hidden engine behind thought and consciousness. These rhythmic patterns of electrical activity sweep through the brain in different frequency bands and help coordinate how neurons fire. Instead of viewing neurons as isolated processors the proposal suggests that the timing and rhythm of brain waves organize information flow. In this view thought and conscious awareness arise from the dynamic interplay of rhythms that link distant brain regions so they act in concert. This perspective shifts the focus from individual neurons to the larger wave patterns that shape the brain’s internal communication.

Brain waves of varying speeds have been observed for decades and are known to change with attention sleep and learning. The new proposal builds on this by suggesting that the rhythms themselves help create the conditions for integrated experience. When waves align across regions the brain may be able to sustain a coherent sense of self and make complex decisions.

If the model proves robust it could reshape how scientists think about mental processes and inspire new ways to study consciousness and cognition.

Read my new article "Coercively Controlling Fathers and the Hidden Threat They Pose to Children". https://dremmakatz.substack.com/p/coercively-controlling-fathers-and

Mainstream thinking tends to be that if children are going to be harmed by anything in relation to domestic abuse, it is seeing or hearing incidents of physical violence, or getting hurt themselves during such incidents. People often don't think about abuse based on coercive control, and would struggle to see just how dangerous and harmful a coercive control-perpetrating father could be to children.

This article shows how coercive control does harm children - how every coercive control tactic that a perpetrator is using will also be harming any children or young people in the family. It also reveals what key research studies have found about the parenting of domestically-abusive and coercively controlling fathers.

Victim-survivor mothers are not to blame for any of these harms — they were victims of the same abuse that harmed the children. Victims are not to blame for harm experienced by other victims. It is perpetrators who are responsible, as they had both power and unconstrained choices, but they continued their abuse rather than stopping it.

"Coercively Controlling Fathers and the Hidden Threat They Pose to Children" - 3 Key Facts explored in the article:

Fact 1: Just looking at physical violence is nowhere near enough to tell us about the full scope and severity of domestic abuse.

Fact 2: Situations where coercive control is present are uniquely harmful.

Fact 3: Fathers who carry out coercive control-based domestic abuse cannot parent in adequate ways. Every tactic that the coercively controlling father uses against the victim-survivor mother harms the children’s lives on a day-to-day basis.

I say 'fathers' for a reason here. Of course, a coercively controlling mother would be harmful too. However, 97% of those convicted for coercive control are men, so in the vast majority of cases it is the father who is the coercive control perpetrator in the family.

Yeah right.

On June 16th, former Apopka mayor Bryan Nelson & the defendant Apopka Commissioner Nadia Anderson will both face depositions at the McLoud Law Firm in downtown Apopka. Apopka resident William McLoud filed the lawsuit because of concerns that Nadia did not meet the residency requirement. 

It is a requirement that the candidate must have been a City of Apopka resident for one full year prior to the election. You also are required to live in the city limits for your complete term.

There is a very good chance that Nadia Anderson is going to lose this lawsuit, so here’s my question;

Who is ready to step up and run for Nadia Anderson’s Commission seat if a judge rules that she did not meet the residency requirements?

It is gonna happen quickly, so anyone thinking about running, better get their ducks in a row…

The Case could be decided very quickly,

FIRST THE BOOMS… NOW THE SKY IS EXPLODING 💥

Over the past several weeks, reports have continued pouring in of:

• mysterious booms
• unexplained sonic events
• strange sky phenomena
• intense solar activity
• unusual weather extremes

Now a meteor has exploded over the northeastern United States with the force of hundreds of tons of TNT.

On its own, the event has a perfectly normal explanation.

But what has people talking isn’t the meteor itself…

It’s the feeling that unusual events keep stacking on top of each other.

One day it’s unexplained booms.

The next it’s a major solar eruption.

Then a fireball explodes over multiple states.

Individually, each event may be unrelated.

But together, they create a pattern that many people can’t help but notice.

👇

Does it feel like we’re seeing more unusual events lately… or are we simply paying closer attention?
