What is neuro-linguistic programming?

Neuro-linguistic Programming, or NLP as it’s more commonly known, is a psychological approach to improve mental performance. Practitioners say that an increase in physical and spiritual performance follows after you begin NLP training.

Basically–and probably a little too superficially put–NLP examines your self-talk and then offers ways to re-program this inner talk that is more aligned with achievement.

The question is: can NLP be used to improve your trading and investing performance?

According to Charles Faulkner of New Market Wizards, NLP can help traders and investors.

When we change those programs, just as when we change or upgrade software, we immediately get positive changes in our performance. We get immediate improvements in how we think, feel, act and live.

Turtle Trader explains that NLP fits in with the overall philosophy that trading skills are teachable.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”

I’m not a great gardener. But one thing I’ve learned is that if you want to create long-lasting change in your garden or lawn, you have to go below the surface. You have to dig deep into the roots where the problems and opportunities lie.

If the roots of a weed are not plucked out, the plant will grow back. Likewise, if the roots of the flower or grass seed do not receive the nourishment of fertilizer and water, they will wither away.

The original idea for Online Investing AI is to help everyone retire exponentially earlier than current investment systems that are available. (See, I was nice and said “systems,” not schemes.)

Is that so wrong?

Actually, it might. Or, at the very least, that goal and our own conception of retirement may need refinement based on an article from the Amen Clinics.

Brain's neurons at work.

People change when they’re in love. They talk different. They act different. They even walk different.

Scientists say love can change your brain.

And so can money.

Jason Zweig’s book, Your Money And Your Brain, which I mentioned yesterday, offers lessons in neuroeconomics, a cross between neuroscience, economics, and psychology.

This science is a quest to find how your brain reacts to financial situations.

It might also help you get rich.

According to an article in Technology Review, European scientists have created a silicon chip that comes close to the human brain’s “structure and function.”

In fact, in some ways, it exceeds the performance of the human brain.

The prototype was created by scientists at the Heidelberg University of Germany. The design features 200,000 neurons that are linked to 50 million synapses.

Researchers say that the chip works 100,000 times faster than a brain.

While the jury is still out on how the performance of the prototype will hold up, it’s a sign that AI researchers are getting close to that threshold where computer intelligence will match or beat human performance, at least technically speaking.

Other hurdles remain, but the trek to the Singularity continues.

Many people love to minimize the incredible power of our imagination. Imaginary friends are the domain of children, and daydreaming in fantasy is the mark of a lazy employee. At least that’s what people think. I suggest to you, quite the opposite is true.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand. – Einstein

As a matter of fact, one of the Einstein’s greatest breakthroughs started when he was sitting in class bored out of his mind. As he stared at the clock, he imagined what it would be like to travel on a beam of light. From this silly thought, emerged the thinking of one of the most powerful minds in history.

Many people think that Einstein’s success was due to his genius. But I suggest to you something else. Is it possible that Einstein was able to change the world not because he was smarter, but because he used his mind in a different way? Maybe he was able to change the world because he believed in his imagination.

Intelligence is not a prerequisite for success. You don’t have to be smarter to succeed at anything. Because success is dependent not on skill, but on strategy. And most strategies for success are very simple, and can be easily learned by anyone.

Maybe we can even learn to use the same skills that Einstein used. Perhaps one of the skills for success is to use our imagination and believe it can help us in powerful ways. Perhaps anyone can make the same powerful mark in history by imagining the way Einstein did.

George recently wrote a post about the brain’s similarity to a computer.

There are neuroanatomists, like Jill Bolte Taylor, who back up George’s premise and, in fact, believe that the brain behaves as a parallel processor (right hemisphere) and a serial processor (left hemisphere).

I’d like to take this analogy one step further: if the brain is a computer, could the MIND be a quantum computer? A quantum algorithm uses superposition (or quantum entanglement) to work on data exponentially. Whereas a regular computer operates on single bits, a quantum computer, technically speaking, can use qubits to manipulate multiple operations at the same time.

Stuart Hameroff, a anesthesiologist, and Sir Richard Penrose, a quantum physicist, say that at the nano-scale level the brain is engaging in quantum computations. This is so fundamental, the researchers suggest that the brain is literally wired into reality.

Is this the point where the brain becomes the mind?

There are those, like Hameroff and Penrose, who think so, but other scientists still aren’t sure. Consciousness remains the hardest soft science.

By the way, Hameroff doesn’t believe that the Singularity will happen, stating that AI won’t be able to compete with the quantum computational operations in the human brain–or mind. However, he doesn’t address whether AI could be used to augment the mind.

How does your brain work? Did you ever stop to think about all the incredible things that it does?

Here’s just a few things your brain does:

• Controlling Your Body
• Giving You the Power of Thought
• Creating the Ability to Learn

The funny thing about the brain is that nobody knows how it works. Yet! Understanding how your brain works is probably the biggest challenge to understanding human existence right now. We can understand how other organs of the body work, how bodily functions work such as digestion and reproduction, and even our evolution.

There is however, one machine created by humans that is similar to the brain.space Although it has certain distinct differences, the computer can be compared to the brain. The human brain is far more powerful, and works a little bit differently.

So that leads us to the question, is there a way we can use the paradigm of the computer to understand our own brain?

But computer users code written in a programming language to get it fixed instructions and tell it exactly what to do. And in a way, our human brains have their own code. The source code for our own brains are ideas. It’s our ideas that get incorporated and develop our entire mind. It’s the integration of all the ideas and beliefs inside our mind that create a code for our brains to run.

All of the above source code gets compiled into a persons actions. If someone’s actions can be determined by all of their beliefs and ideas, then these beliefs are like a program that the brain runs. And as the brain runs this program, the result is a persons actions.

A wise man once said,

Stand Guard at the Door of Your Mind!

Maybe, this is to prevent unwanted source code from entering!

Your brain moves all sorts of things: it swivels your neck; it flexes and retracts your arms, it can move your legs. These miracles are really just an electro-chemical reaction.

Now companies are attempting to turn brainwaves into the ultimate joystick. NeutoSky is making an brain-object interface. Your brain produces brainwaves that become the commands. These brainwaves can be sent wirelessly to the object you want to move.

This device may be released initially as a component for video games. There’s also the possibility that this can help people stay awake while driving. Falling asleep while driving is lethal.

I have no doubt that as this technology is refined it will generate other uses. It may be a sign that as technology advances the line between machine and mind will blur.

But, the brain doesn’t just move little objects on a screen; brains move markets and machines are being used to tap into this.

People thoughts, hopes, and dreams are the basis for the world economy and the various markets. Online Investing AI is hoping to tap into these mass brain commands out there by using advance technology to create investment systems that produce high returns at minimum risk.

If a brain-object interface is the next step in mental evolution, this is the next step in financial evolution.
