We have need for research study participants in our current Vedic Ritual Technology Study. Participants must be in the Chennai, India area in 2019 for a minimum of 2 days. Should you wish to participate, please email us at research@astroved.com for more information
"EEG Observations on Neuroanatomical parts of the Brain during Vedic Homas and Vedic Sounds".
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
To study the brain activity pattern (Brain Mapping) of Archetypes using Homas and Vedic sounds. This protocol aims to develop paradigms to identify the neural networks that underlie while invoking Archetypes.
Program Details
| Study Center: | East West Research Institute |
| Duration Of Study: | 12 months |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
Eligibility Criteria
| Ages Eligible for Study: | 19 Years to 45 Years |
| Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Inclusion Criteria:
To be eligible for this research study participants must:
- Be between the ages of 19 and 45 years of age
- Be free of any neurological condition that might affect performance of the tasks in these experiments.
- Psychological test based on a test designed by Adam Bruke.
- Basic Liver, Kidneys, Heart and Lungs should be normal.
- Haemogram, SD3, SB12, LFT, RFT, TSH, HbA1c, Cortisol will be collected from each subject
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will be excluded from this research study if they:
- Are taking medications that include antidepressants, anxiolytics, anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, antiparkinson, hypnotics, stimulants, and/or antihistamines.
- Have a diagnosed neurologic or psychiatric condition.
- Have a history of seizure disorder.
- Are currently pregnant.
- Have known hearing loss.
- Have an alcohol or substance abuse problem as determined by the screening we will do.
Tasks
Volunteers will be asked to perform tasks such as:
- Be at rest and listen to the Vedic sounds
- Focus on the flame
Data Collection and Method:
We will be collecting Blood and Saliva Samples before and after the Homas. And EEG brain monitoring during the Homa. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain. Special sensors (electrodes) attached to the electrodes on the head are connected to a computer. The computer records brain's electrical activity on the screen or on paper as wavy lines.
