About the Institute:
Our vision is to pioneer a new perspective of how light, sound, electromagnetism, and other natural and technological forces shape physiology, health, and wellness, guiding individuals to harness these forces for optimal vitality.
The Brain & Heart
The graphic for our AI Biophysics logo was designed and created by our research colleague and head of our Scientific Integrity Committee, Magda Havas, PhD. in collaboration with Dr. Marrongelle. We collectively were looking for a representation of the primary lifeforce of human existence that interacts with the physical world from birth to death. The relationship between the heart and the brain as the foundational rhythms of life is what is represented by our heart brain logo.
Although our heart is functionally developed by the 21st day after conception and begins to beat on its own by the sixth week, it remains under its own control until the nervous system and brain development advances toward completion in the second and third trimester. Once the central nervous system is fully developed, the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches interface with the heart’s neurology to form a lifelong relationship of control and coordination. The heart and brain continuously influence each other’s function through neurotransmitters, pulse waves, and electromagnetic fields throughout our entire life. Therefore, optimal function of the brain and heart is interconnected and affects our health, emotions, and behaviors.
Where Biology Meets Physics
The first time we begin to truly interface with the outside world (physics) is when we are born and draw our first breath. From that moment on, life becomes a second-by-second series of adaptations to the physical world. We are compelled to learn to deal with a myriad of challenges from the physical world. Thirst, hunger, temperature regulation, human contact and a multitude of environmental influences require constant successful adaptation to sustain life. As babies and children, we rely on our caregivers to provide for these life essentials. As we mature and become responsible for our own decisions and maintenance of our life, choices become more complex. This is where we hope to provide information and influence for rational and beneficial changes that can better support successful adaptation and longevity.
Biometrics and Biophysics
Biometrics and Biophysics
Biometrics is literally a derivation from the modern Greek language meaning “the measurement of life”. It is this definition alone that we rely upon when discussing the accumulation, analysis, and conclusions derived from the measurements of human physiology. They include a multitude of physical parameters from age, sex, height, weight, and body composition which are physical attributes to blood pressure, pulse, oxygen status, respiratory rate, and other functional measurements. In combination, the vast array of biometric information that can be derived from an individual presents a picture of their current physiological state.
Biometric tools quantify these biophysical changes through various sensors and techniques. Many extremely accurate and important measurements can be obtained by an individual without any professional involvement whatsoever. A major part of our initiative to help people become empowered and more aware of their physiological status is to provide information and training in the collection of personal physical data.
Within the realm of Biophysics and Biometrics, many parameters are observable and measurable. In the area of human physiology, there are well established biometric normal ranges such as in laboratory blood analysis. In functional physiology, we observe how things work and those biometrics, while changeable, are relatively stable, such as blood pressure, respiration, and heart rate. Calculations derived from these measurements over time are part of our ongoing project in Biophysics and Biometrics. As part of this project, we are enlisting the aid of our members to provide easily obtainable physiological data about their body’s function and condition. We are currently constructing a biometric data input form which can be used by individuals to track and monitor physiology over time. All data will be anonymous and only sorted by biological sex and decade of life. This is a long term, ongoing project to help the individual and group see which interventions of biophysics-based technology provide a measurable positive physical outcome.
