In today’s world we continue observing declines in mental health worldwide while access to health care and treatment keeps decreasing (especially in low- to middle-income countries). Well-being and the brain mediate each other across the lifespan, and much is still unknown about their relationship. Electroencephalography (EEG) is the measure of electrical activity of the brain at the surface of the scalp. It is widely used to study human psychology, cognition, affect, and neuropathology. However, it is costly and time-consuming, leading to most studies consisting of small and undiversified samples. Recent technological advances have led to the development of affordable, light-weight, wearable, and wireless EEG systems. They offer fast preparation time, high mobility, and facilitate the collection of EEG data over large and diversified populations. In turn, these large and diverse datasets can help researchers identify trends, mediator covariables (e.g., age), and classify mental states.
The potential benefits of lucid dreaming range from resolving recurrent nightmares and emotional healing to accessing creativity and accelerated spiritual growth. Since the publication of my two books, Lucid Dreaming – Gateway to the Inner Self and Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple, I have received many emails from readers and others who used the techniques to promote emotional and physical healing and personal growth.
We kicked off our first ConnectIONS Live of 2022 with a fascinating discussion between IONS Director of Research, Dr. Helané Wahbeh, and best-selling author, Theresa Cheung.

There is a force in the universe that empowers and guides us to meet the challenges of our time. This force is not one of the known physical forces, a push-pull kinetic-energy force. It is a subtle impetus, an almost spiritual leaning or tendency. In the language of the life sciences, it can be called “a tropism,” an attraction toward particular resources or conditions. In the context of the systems sciences, it is an “attractor.” Attractors are conceptual tools for measuring the state of a complex system, assessing the configuration of the forces that maintain it in a steady or in a dynamically evolving state.

I am excited to share my experiences from the IONS Possibility Accelerator Experience workshop! I was a participant in the very first cohort (January 2021) and the workshop was a meaningful way for my heart, mind, and consciousness to kick off the new year.
