Consciousness & the Two-Track Mind

What is the difference between the brain and the mind? “The mind is what the brain does”

Dual processing and the two track mind Upper - Consciousness –Deliberate thought and action Lower - Unconscious –Automatic –Does most of the brain’s work “back stage” then moves it into our consciousness

Upper conscious Only completely focus on one task at a time E.g. Tap 4 times with left hand and 3 times with right (difficult)

Selective attention Cocktail party effect Driving and cell phone

Sleep

Circadian Rhythms 24 hour sleep cycle Changing from working nights to days Transpacific flight –Tokyo to Seattle –Going West to East is hardest Sun is moving East to West)

Brain Waves during Sleep Alpha waves Sleep spindles Delta waves REM sleep

Brain Waves During Sleep Alpha waves –Awake & relaxed Transition (Stage 1) REM (Rapid Eye Movement) Sleep spindles (Stage 2) –Bursts of rapid rhythmic brain activity –Lasts about 20 minutes Delta Waves (Stage 3 & 4) –Deep sleep –Slow waves –Lasts about 30 minutes

REM Sleep (Rapid Eye Movement) 90 Minute cycle More in infants than adults Dreaming Helps consolidate memories Sexual (genital) arousal

Typical nights sleep

Sleep Disorders Insomnia –Persistent trouble falling or staying asleep Narcolepsy –Sleep (seizure) –Falling asleep immediately for about 5 minutes –May occur at many inopportune (or serious) times (e.g. having sex)

Sleep Disorders (Cont.) Sleep apnea –You stop breathing while asleep –Snort air and fall back asleep Night Terrors –Mostly children –Appear terrified - sits up or walks around –Usually remembers little or nothing the next morning.

Sleep & the life cycle

Hypnosis A relaxed state in which the hypnotist suggests certain perceptions and feelings or thoughts. Some people may be more susceptible to being hypnotized than others. –Particularly if they strongly believe they can be hypnotized. You can not be hypnotized against your will.

Posthypnotic suggestion Suggestions given during hypnosis that you will act a certain way after the session. –Cigarettes or weight loss

Social influence theory of hypnosis Hypnotized subjects are simply acting out the role of a good hypnotic subject.
