What is the function of the Brain? What does it do and how does it do it? It functions as a Neuroregulator, which continuously regulates the Autonomic Nervous System and Physiological Systems

The aim of this article is to provoke further discussion of the mechanisms which the brain uses to regulate the body´s function, in particular the autonomic nervous system. It focuses upon an understanding of the structural relationship between the brain, organ networks (more commonly referred to as physiological systems), organs and cellular and molecular biology, brain and illustrates (i) that sleep exhibits the characteristics of a physiological system; (ii) that the brain uses colour and frequency to regulate the body´s complex function; but also (iii) that brain function, including the processes involved in the fixation of memories, is influenced by the level of pathological onset arising from past experiences and/or stress. Such understanding, incorporated into a mathematical model of the autonomic nervous system (developed by I.G. Grakov), has led to the development of Strannik software: Strannik Virtual Scanning & Strannik Light Therapy, and enables us to demonstrate that ‘optimisation of sleep' is the purpose of a physiologically significant system or network of organs, which is regulated by the brain; that sleep performs a physiologically significant biological function, in particular that during sleep the brain produces hormones which are essential re the processes of recovery, regeneration and regulation; and that emergent pathologies in the various organs in this system, often due to the effect of the many and various stressors in our hyper indulgent and/ or sedentary lives, influences quality and quantity of sleep. Reported Case Studies illustrate the effectiveness of Strannik Virtual Scanning and Strannik Light Therapy to determine and treat the fundamental pathological origins and/or processes which contribute to, and/or are responsible for, sleep dysfunction. In conclusion, the article illustrates what the brain does ? it is a neural regulator of the autonomic nervous system and physiological systems; and how it does it ? it uses frequency and light to regulate the body´s complex biological function.
