Braaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnsssss......

Yes, i really did just say brains. Because I have come to the conclusion that brains are absolutely fascinating, therefore, i love them. I want to study them, and i have almost no doubts about it. Woohoo!! Talk about making life decisions. The only question now, is whether or not i want to research them, or put my knowledge to practical use and help people. When i took the really random trip to Idaho, i was going with my roommate, Rachel, to her grandparents' home, seeking a much-needed vacation from our crazy lives. And believe me, i needed it. My story, however, concerns what i did on vacation. Which was to, well, study/analyze brains. Really. Through neuro-feedback based on EEG signals emitted from the patient (rachel. haha)'s brain. And rachel's grandma was a psychologist and actually had a clinic in her home at one point, so she showed me how it works and explained the different brain waves (delta, theta, beta and high-beta) and how they affect our daily functions, either with behavior, memory-reticence, or just day-to-day life. And i have to admit, I was so excited!!! It just awes me how incredible our brains are. and i have a hard time not talking about them. so, obviously, this is what i should do with my life, right? Anyway, just thought i ought to share the funny, happy news.
