Science is known because it follows something called the scientific method; this method involves a series of steps such as building a hypothesis, making observations, doing experiments, and making conclusions based on our results.

Psychology can be considered a science because many articles talk about the studies they have made and use all the scientific methods to explain the phenomena.

The term "science" refers to persons who call themselves scientists attempting to bring order to the world of visible happenings.

All research begins with a sensory experience, which produces first data in an observable report of such incidents. As a scientist, psychologists must focus on publicly viewable and verifiable occurrences.

Because human behavior is so complex, psychologists limit their observations to minor, termed reactions, which can't be recorded in great detail. As a result, their findings are abstract, such as the speed of the response.

It is a basic assumption that psychologists refer to antecedent and attendant circumstances that events influence human behavior in the past and present environment. These events or changes in the background are referred to as stimuli by psychologists; not all of the variables that psychologists must deal with can yet be measured.

Because most human acts are deliberate, we are puzzled when we don't understand them. Usually, the problem is answered. When we learn anything about the agent or the situation in which he is confronted, the actor explains the rationale for his behavior.

Because of the quickness and extent of the psychological changes witnessed throughout those periods and the fact that they culminate in the optimal mental functioning of early adulthood, much scientific study on human development has focused on the time from birth through early adolescence.

Since thoughts and feelings cannot be quantified, I believe that we can only comprehend psychology if it is researched with quantifiable data. Other things, such as physiological data, can be measured.

We can only understand psychology if it is studied with measurable data because thoughts and feelings cannot be measured. However, we can measure other things such as physiological changes because that is the only way to measure a response to a stimulus or measure electrical impulses from the brain to detect which parts of the brain are activated in certain circumstances.

Bacteria are found in the environment in the form of planktonic bacteria, which means they are swimming freely in the environment, or they are found in the form of biofilms, which are defined as communities of bacteria that grow attached to a matrix of exopolysaccharides, which are resistant complex carbohydrates, resistant to antibiotics and that are found attached to a biological or non-biological surface, such as the skin or the base of a boat 🚤

Biofilms are one of the biggest causes of persistent infection, especially in hospitals thanks to internal devices. Biofilms are immobile microbial communities that colonize and grow on superficial medical implants such as sutures, catheters and dental implants as they produce an extracellular polymeric substance causing infections that can only be attacked by removing the devices and that can trigger mental illness in the patient due to trauma of the treatment.

Biofilms provide protection to microorganisms not only due to alterations in pH, osmolarity or few nutrients, but also block the access of antibiotics and cells of the immune system, which causes a serious infection due to resistance to different antibiotics and resistance in antibiotic treatment.

Approximately 80% of chronic and recurrent infections in the human body are due to a greater extent to biofilms, since these bacteria have shown 10 to 1000 times more resistance to antibiotics than bacteria in the planktonic state.

Blood and urinary tract infections can be caused by biofilms due to internal devices such as heart valve implants, catheters, contact lenses, joint replacements, intrauterine devices and other implants including body modifications such as piercings. These infections can only be treated by removing the device. Antibiotic resistance has become a serious global health problem thanks to its indiscriminate use without knowing that we are only feeding and developing super bacteria that at a given moment can no longer be eliminated by passing into the bloodstream and causing sepsis ( generalized infection).

It is important that we do not self-medicate as this could only bring more serious problems, always consult your doctor and respect the doses and times.

Our brains are extremely intricate. At any given time, we may sift through billions of pieces of data, specifically 400000 million bits per second in our subconscious mind, compared to only 200 million bits per second in our conscious mind. And we have to organize the information in some way so that we don't short circuit. That's where the Reticular Activating System comes in.

The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is a network of nerves in our brainstem that filters away irrelevant information so that the crucial information can get through.

The RAS is what causes you to learn a new term and then hear it all over the place. It's why you can tune out a crowded room full of people chatting but jump to attention instantly when someone mentions your name or something that sounds like it. Your RAS develops a filter for whatever you're focusing on. It then sorts through the information and displays only the parts that are relevant to you.

RAS looks for evidence that supports your beliefs. It filters the environment through the parameters you set for it, and those parameters are shaped by your ideas. You will most likely be awful at giving speeches if you believe you are. You most certainly function efficiently if you believe you do. The RAS influences your actions by assisting you in seeing what you want to see.

Some people believe that you can train your RAS by connecting your subconscious thoughts to your conscious thoughts. It's known as "intent setting." This means that if you concentrate hard on your objectives, your RAS will expose the people, information, and chances that will assist you in achieving them.

If you care about something, such as optimism, you will become more conscious of it and seek it out. If you're serious about acquiring a pet turtle and have set your mind to it, you'll seek out the correct information to assist you.

Awake, asleep (resting or slow-wave sleep), and asleep and dreaming are the three sleep and arousal stages that humans have (REM rapid eye movement sleep). The reticular activating system in the mesopons interacts with the descending reticulospinal and ascending hypothalamic, basal forebrain, and thalamocortical systems to modulate these states.

The RAS is a network of neurons in the brain stem that project anteriorly to the hypothalamus to influence behavior, as well as posteriorly to the thalamus and directly to the cortex to activate awake, desynchronized cortical EEG patterns. Visceral, somatic, and sensory systems all provide input to the RAS. Acetylcholine, serotonin, noradrenalin, dopamine, histamine, and hypocretin are among the neurotransmitters used in this system (orexin).

How does this relate to the Law of Attraction, given that we now know that the brain actively scans massive volumes of data every second and that the RAS selects crucial information for you? Consider something you've wanted for a long time, such as a car...as soon as the concept of wanting this specific kind of automobile enters your mind, what do you see all of the time? Almost every time you're on the road, you'll see this particular car drive by (again, the RAS is pointing out this car for you). As a result, because the RAS is constantly pointing out this car to you, it's more probable that you'll be open to learning more about it.
