The experiment helped to change John-Dylan Haynes's outlook on life. In 2007, Haynes, a neuroscientist at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience in Berlin, put people into a brain scanner in which a display screen flashed a succession of random letters1. He told them to press a button with either their right or left index fingers whenever they felt the urge, and to remember the letter that was showing on the screen when they made the decision. The experiment used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to reveal brain activity in real time as the volunteers chose to use their right or left hands. The results were quite a surprise.... http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/43008-neuroscience-vs-philosophyThe experiment helped to change John-Dylan Haynes's outlook on life.

We are Spiritual Beings, partaking on a journey through Earth. The Ego is a creation of the mind in the Physical sense that it can help you create your reality on Earth. However it has no spiritual knowledge to what the Creator has in store for you. The ego is apart of your physical body, not your Spirit.The Spirit is your direct connection to the Source Energy and all that is, and yet to be, that is God. The Spirit has the divine knowledge through the Source Energy of God and possesses the Understanding to empower you with the wisdom to reflect the Creator in his creation you! The Spirit is permanent therefore it is real on more planes then one.We are Spiritual Beings, partaking on a journey through Earth. The Ego is a creation... more

The scenario might seem unlikely: prominent Muslims and Jews from the United States, trekking across the Atlantic in mournful, spiritual solidarity to visit two Nazi concentration camps. Together.
The trip to Dachau and Auschwitz, organized by a New Jersey rabbi, was meant to combat the rise in Holocaust denial that has popped up in various Muslim and non-Muslim circles around the world — and online — in recent years.
"The best way to convince someone about the truth of something is to let them see it for themselves and experience it for themselves," said Rabbi Jack Bemporad of the Center for Interreligious Understanding in Carlstadt. "I feel that it was important to take Muslim leaders who have a really significant following in the American-Muslim community."
Some of the eight imams on the week-long trip, which ended Thursday, had previously worked with Jewish groups in inter-religious dialogue. Only one of the eight, Shaikh Yasir Qadhi of New Haven, Conn., academic dean for the AlMaghrib Institute, had been quoted doubting the extent of the Holocaust in 2001, but he recanted long before the trip, saying his past views were based on misinformation.
CONDEMNING DOUBTS
On Friday, a day after their return, the eight imams released a statement citing the six million Jewish deaths in the Holocaust, among 12 million Holocaust deaths overall. It added, "We condemn any attempts to deny this historical reality and declare such denials or any justification of this tragedy as against the Islamic code of ethics."
In interviews, the imams said the trip affected them deeply.

"The experience was overwhelming," Qadhi said. "It was a very moving experience for all of us imams, in particular myself. I had never seen anything like this. I was just overwhelmed throughout the entire trip. I was just overwhelmed at the sheer inhumanity of it. I could not comprehend how such evil could be unleashed."
Like other imams interviewed, he said the historical truth of the Holocaust should not be distorted by the Mideast tensions of the last 60 years.
"Politics should not play a role in historical facts," Qadhi said. "Whatever happened post-Holocaust should not diminish the evil that was the Holocaust. … The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very complicated. Let’s leave anti-Semitism out of it."
FACING REALITY
Some said the trip’s most emotional part was seeing gathered collections of victims’ hair, suitcases, and belongings.
"Almost everybody was in tears," said Imam Muzammil Siddiqi, of the Islamic Society of Orange County, Calif.
"I laid a wreath of flowers there at the wall and recited the words from the Quran which says killing one person is like killing all of humanity and saving one life is like saving all of humanity. I said, ‘Here it feels part of us were killed. It’s part of our human brothers and sisters.’"
The imams said they also were moved by meetings with Holocaust survivors, and from seeing their tattooed numbers.
Also during the trip, which was sponsored by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Center for Interreligious Understanding, the imams met with the Roman Catholic Cardinal of Krakow and the chief rabbi of Poland, who hosted them for dinner Wednesday, the first night of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Some participants, including Hannah Rosenthal, the U.S. State Department’s special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism, said they felt the trip itself was of historical importance.
"I know of no other time that a group of imams experienced the camps, and prayed at the camps, and came out with a strong statement that condemns Holocaust denial, Holocaust justification, Holocaust comparison and anti-Semitism," Rosenthal said. "I know of no other time that’s happened in history."The scenario might seem unlikely: prominent Muslims and Jews from the United States,... more

The data generated by NMR spectroscopy applied to complex mixtures is extensive and interpretable. NMR spectra are routinely interpreted to determine the range of compounds present in foods - particularly when two-dimensional (2D) NMR techniques are employed. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/423-imaging-of-foodsThe data generated by NMR spectroscopy applied to complex mixtures is extensive and... more
