If you are like most smokers, you realize the negative effects on your health and might even calculate the monthly or yearly cost of each pack of cigarettes you buy. However, if you aren’t statistically minded, you probably aren’t calculating the TRUE cost of a pack of cigarettes. And, according to a new study from the Polytechnic Institute of Cartagena in Spain, the cost is dramatically higher than you may expect… When you account for the VSL (which we will get to later) the true cost of one single pack of cigarettes is…

New research presented at the 24th Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies* exposed alarming information for insomniacs.

The June 2009 issue of the Journal Neuron just published a fascinating study that could be the next step towards figuring out how hypnosis actually works in the brain.

What I like about fMRI is that it provides a window into the brain; allowing scientists to find out what is really going on as opposed to solely relying on reporting or behavioral assessments.
