Students Scanning The Brain Are Finding New Ways To Think About It Research • Student research project involves brain scans and detail interpretations and analyses.

By Asumi Shuda In the Palos Verdes Promenade shopping mall there are groups of students studying at Starbucks, shoppers peaking into furniture shops and cars struggling to park in its triple-deck parking lot. And, at the PVNet Technology Center on the second floor, there are inventions being brainstormed and discoveries being made.

One ongoing program in the facility that attracted the attention of many is the Brain Entrainment Scientific Research course. The course was based on the psychological concept of “learned helplessness,” which is where a living thing is conditioned to feel powerless in the face of an obstacle or task due to experiencing a recurring event of failure or trauma. A famous example of this concept involves the procedure of keeping wild elephants in captivity.

“Once upon a time, a baby elephant would be tied to a tree trunk and trained to believe that it cannot escape,” clinical psychologist Dr. Carol Francis said. “Thus, once the elephant matures into an adult and is tied with a chain within close proximity to a tree trunk, it would automatically assume that it cannot leave said tree trunk.”

This phenomenon illustrates the mental captivity humans feel in certain situations that seem difficult to deal with; in other words, many learn to become helpless. This behavior branches into mental disorders like depression, anxiety and trauma reactions. “[For a long time,] we believed that we were somewhat kidnapped by our minds and that we had to live cooperatively with how it thinks and fears,” Francis said. “However, we now know that we can actually impact how our brain functions.”

With this new knowledge now in mind, there have been studies regarding how to combat this psychological battle of learned helplessness. The

What Did We Learn And How Did We Learn It . . . The research team members each presented a panel of experts and answered challenging questions about such topics as methodology, the technology used, best practices, and analysis.

ongoing program at PVNet, however, is the first study that involves a neurologic device called the BrainTap, which Francis has utilized on her patients for the last 30 years.

Once activated, the BrainTap alters the brain waves and patterns of its user, which results in said user’s thoughts being changed; in essence, it helps an individual overcome their own “learned helplessness.” “[The BrainTap] inscribes the brain with the type of thoughts that may be beneficial to people,” Francis said.

This form of “brain entrainment” was experimented on individuals through a series of pre-tests that measured the degree of the subject’s feeling of “learned helplessness” through anxiety, depression and self-esteem as well as his or her mental and physical health.

Such measurements were also based on the person’s brain waves. The six high school students, as well as one graduate student, involved then presented their subjects with a task that was entirely impossible to do and recorded their reactions of feeling helpless at such a request. Throughout the experiment, the team also measured the subjects’ body systems such as heart rate and breathing pace.

After these pre-tests, the subjects

were each given the BrainTap device with 700 protocols and were required to use at least one option for 22 minutes as well as a 60-second questionnaire for the 14 days that followed.

At the end of these 14 days, the individuals took a post-test with the same materials as the pre-test to measure a possible improvement in the subjects’ “learned helplessness” levels.

The Brain At Sleep . . .

“We just finished collecting the data [for our study,] and we are going to confirm and analyze this data on March 14,” Francis said.

This project began with Francis bringing the BrainTap and its possible usage for a study to PVNet founder and owner Ted Vegvari, to which Vegvari suggested involving students with all levels of experience as well to provide the youth in his facility an opportunity

PEN and PV Students Compete At Science Fair Science Fair • Panthers and Sea Kings at the L.A. County Science Fair.

By Fiona Yang The Los Angeles County Science Fair will be held on Friday, March 20, at the Magic Box in downtown Los Angeles, with several students from Peninsula and Palos Verdes high schools in attendance.

The students who qualified for the County Science Fair were the top 13 at the Palos Verdes Science Fair held on Feb. 14. This was Palos Verdes’ third year holding the science fair. Peninsula chemistry and science Research teacher Melissa Klose was among the adults that run the fair and oversee the students.

“The PV Science Fair and the County Science Fair are similar in regards to what they are searching for in the projects, which include communication, background research, methodology and more,” Klose said. “Therefore, [it is my job] to connect the students to people and experts outside of school to guide them in the direction of research they may want to go.”

Some students do consult professionals to aid them in their projects, but other students choose to work inde-

pendently. Peninsula High junior Aksh Garg is among the latter.

“My interest in drones and 5G networks started off only as tentative exploration of a new field, but now I am extremely passionate about my project,” Garg said.

“I am very proud of my project because I really struggled to create it, but seeing how I overcame those struggles and achieved something that, at one point, seemed out of reach is really amazing .”

Garg and other students dedicate several hours outside of school to develop their research and produce results, even more so when done independently. It is through their fascination with their topics that they are able to motivate themselves through the process.

“Not necessarily all students have a mentor, a lot of them just ask questions of people and self-learn,” Klose said.

“The students are typically chosen for the County Science Fair because they are very passionate about what they do, and put in a lot of time, energy and attention into their projects.”

Passion becomes the determining factor in the Science Fair, as students truly committed and concerned about their projects tend to fare better than

Brain Scans Offer New Challenges For Students . . . Continued from Page 3 to understand the world of professional science and technology.

This suggestion aligns with Vegvari’s desire for his students at PVNet: to gain real experiences that are comparable to an adult professional in the field of science.

“It is a lot better [for the kids] to explore and find things that they are interested in [on their own],” Vegvari said.

Two of the main challenges that came with this study were the amount of dedication the test subjects had for their assignments and the amount of time the student interns invested in the project. Because there are not a lot of methods that can completely control human test subjects, there was some discrepancy in the data in terms of the accuracy of the individuals’ usage of the BrainTap. Additionally, because the team entirely consisted of students with other responsibilities from school and other extracurriculars, not many had a lot of

time to thoroughly carry out the experiment.

“Experiments involving humans is a lot harder than those involving amoebas or other organisms,” Francis said. “It is a lot harder to control humans, and it was difficult to have every test subject complete the 22-minute usage daily throughout the study.”

Regardless, this study on brain entrainment is one that could create new possibilities for science, for humans, for society as a whole. When an individual’s perspective can make up his or her world, the BrainTap may create a world with new innovations, new discoveries, new relationships––all just from saying, “I will try.”

“I think that ‘learned helplessness’ is the cornerstone to every difficulty that a person faces,” Francis said. “I hope that the BrainTap verifies what it has been claiming all along and that it can help users change the trajectory of their life.”

the rest. As a result, both schools take top spots at the Science Fair each year thanks to their dedicated students.

“I expect my students to do well, but I think the most valuable lesson is for them to have the experience of sharing their knowledge with different kinds of people, including adults and scientists in the community,” Klose said. “It is more important to learn those scientific skills and experience that you do not receive in your normal science classes in school.”

Klose is not alone in hoping that the students take more than just an award from the Fair.

Palos Verdes High junior Abbie Maemoto is one of the students attending the LA County Science Fair that shares Klose’s sentiments.

Maemoto’s project focuses on new cancer research, as the goal of her project is to improve the quality of life for patients afflicted with the disease.

“I compete at science fairs because I hope to show others the importance of research and how the research of a teenager can make a huge impact on some of the issues that plague our world today,” Maemoto said.

The Science Fair provides an opportunity for the students to present their solutions to issues in the world to a wider audience as well as a haven to make memories and build lifelong relations.

Peninsula High senior Katherine Wedekind is among the students that will attend the Science Fair for the last time, and cherishes the experience she has received all four years.

“I have made so many great memories with close friends through this research program and am really lucky to have found something I am so passionate about,” Wedekind said. “I will definitely miss the hours of carpooling, running to get food in between interviews, and being anxious at award ceremonies with my friends, but I am really thankful for this experience.”

Although students attending the Fair, whether their first time or their last, the event will serve as a memorable experience for all. Hopefully, the students will leave with new skills, new goals and new connections by the end of the Fair.
