To ensure the direct delivery of therapeutic hypothermia at a selected constant temperature to the injured brain, a newly innovated direct brain cooling system was constructed. The practicality, effectiveness, and safety of this system were clinically tested in our initial series of 14 patients with severe head injuries. The patients were randomized into two groups: direct brain cooling at 32C and the control group. All of them received intracranial pressure (ICP), focal brain oxygenation, brain temperature, and direct cortical brainwave monitoring. The direct brain cooling group did better in the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale at the time of discharge and at 6 months after trauma. This could be owing to a trend in the monitored parameters; reduction in ICP, increment in cerebral perfusion pressure, optimal brain redox regulation, near-normal brain temperature, and lessening of epileptic-like brainwave activities are likely the reasons for better outcomes in the cooling group. Finally, this study depicts interesting cortical brainwaves during a transition time from being alive to dead. It is believed that the demonstrated cortical brainwaves follow the principles of quantum physics.

Experiences are a part of our daily lives through our interactions with the environment around us. We live life through the realm of experiences, be it playing or working. As we encounter phenomena frequently, it is deduced that most of it comes from within the built environment, considering how most of our time is spent indoors. Hence, it is imperative that we understand the impact of the built environment on human physiology especially within the context of religious spaces which is largely attributed to phenomenological experiences. Despite the importance of understanding the impact of the built environment on human physiology, phenomenological studies that addresses this relationship are still lacking. This presents a gap which necessitates evidence to be provided in the form of phenomenological studies. Hence, this study attempts to address the gap by utilising evidential data with the utilisation of the portable electroencephalography (EEG) device. In doing so, the brainwave readings from four participants at the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque were observed. Data from the EEG device in the form of brainwave signals was analysed through the performance metrics detection suite which focused on the possibility of analysing brainwave data through three phases of habitation. The findings detected relaxation performance metrics from the participants whilst being within the mosque prayer area, whereas the phases prior to entering and after leaving the mosque appears to have detected higher excitement and engagement levels. Thus, it could be deduced that the interior prayer area of the mosque appears to have had a positive influence on the participant's physiology. This study could contribute to the novel field of neuroarchitecture in Malaysia, an area of study at the threshold of neuroscience and architecture that could be significant in understanding the relationship between the built environment and human physiology.

This article reports the study on the brainwaves patterns between the activity of reading the Arabic and reading Malay text among the final year undergraduates in the university of Malaysia Sarawak. Three students volunteered for the research and their brain waves were observed and recorded to find out the difference of brainwave pattern while reading Arabic and Malay language. The observation showed a dominant production of delta followed by theta while reading Arabic and Malay language. The text used for reading were from Verse 36 (Arabic and the translated version in Malay) of the Quran. The average mean of delta wave were higher for the reading of Arabic language at the frontal lobe than while reading the Malay translation. The frequency of delta rhythm of the Arabic language differed from the Malay language due to the nature of the Arabic language. The neural circuits of the rhythm from the Arabic recitation implicates not on just the spatial visual area at the parietal lobe but also the visual eye movement at the frontal region guided by the Visual system at the Medial temporal area.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the stress level and brainwave characteristic of breastfeeding women, and also their interrelationship. A questionnaire of Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) has been used to indicate the stress level of sixteen breastfeeding women. In order to indicate the brain characteristic, an existing intelligent signal processing using MATLAB and specific algorithm is used to analyse data from Electroencephalogram (EEG). The outcomes showed the Brainwave Balancing Index (BBI) and brain dominance of breastfeeding women that were examined using EEG. Besides that, the correlation of PSS and BBI was presented using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The finding indicated that breastfeeding activity produces a balanced brainwave condition among the breastfeeding women even though they were in stress condition.

The operation revealed a sophisticated drug trafficking network operating across multiple provinces. In North Aceh, police arrested AR, who served as a transporter and warehouse guard. They also issued warrants for five additional suspects: AN, LD, AD, ZF, and PN. These individuals controlled land and sea routes for smuggling. The police confiscated 50 kilograms of crystal meth in this part of the operation. Meanwhile, in Tangerang, investigators seized 107 kilograms of meth packed in green bags. The suspects TS, AS, and SR, acted as couriers and warehouse guards. Two more suspects, KR and BN, are still at large. This network used sea routes from Malaysia and Myanmar, storing the drugs in rented houses for distribution in Banten and Jakarta.

Authorities suspect that the individuals arrested in the drug trafficking ring have deep connections to organized crime networks. To confirm their involvement and gather reliable evidence, iCognative technology offers a revolutionary approach. By analyzing brainwave responses, this technology can accurately identify if suspects recognize specific details related to their criminal activities. Law enforcement can use iCognative to present suspects with stimuli directly connected to the crime, such as images of the seized crystal meth, financial documents, communications between syndicate members, or maps of trafficking routes. As suspects view or hear these stimuli, iCognative measures their brain activity. Consequently, recognition patterns in brain responses reveal whether suspects have knowledge of the crime, indicating their involvement.

By integrating iCognative technology, the National Police can significantly enhance their capability to dismantle the drug trafficking network. This method ensures a more accurate, reliable, and efficient investigation, providing much-needed closure to the community and potentially bringing justice to those responsible.

In Hong Kong, KFC's groundbreaking 'Brainwave Bucket' campaign harnesses scientific experimentation to validate the stress-reducing power of comfort food. Real-time stress data readings are captured from consumers indulging in finger lickin' good chicken, using a helmet-shaped brainwave detection device resembling an inverted KFC bucket.

As the pioneer of fried chicken in Hong Kong, KFC faced fierce competition from a multitude of fast-food chains. To reclaim the spotlight and entice customers back into its stores, our team was challenged with gaining more attention, publicity and visibility for the brand.

Hong Kong is one of the most stressed cities in the world, with one of the main triggers of that stress being overthinking. Scientific studies confirm comfort food's stress-reducing power. As the fried chicken frontrunner, we seized the opportunity to put this theory to the test and reignite footfall at KFC.

Oscillation with synchronisation does exist inside and outside of our brain. Neural oscillation can be stratified into microscale-oscillation (activity of a single neuron), mesoscale-oscillation (activity of local group of neurons or vertices) and macroscale-oscillation (neural activity of different brain regions/networks) [1] . Neurons can generate action potentials or spike trains (multiple action potentials in sequence) at microscale oscillation and can be studied using intracellular single-unit recordings. When a group of neurons fire action potentials, synaptic interactions play a major role to synchronise the input to other brain regions. Synchronised firing patterns give rise to large-amplitude mesoscale oscillations of local field potentials which can be detected as brainwaves by using electroencephalography (EEG), electrocorticography (ECoG) or magnetoencephalography (MEG). Neural oscillations which arise from interactions between or among brain regions are known as macroscale-oscillation and form various brainwaves network loops or circuits inside our brain [2] -[5] . This article describes the principles for the brainwaves, their anatomical origin and relationship with microgravity, and our experience in using them to study brain and seizure networks, mapping the region of the brain and lately to explore the relationship between body, mind and soul.
