This document describes a GSM based home automation system using DTMF signals. It involves a DTMF decoder, microcontroller, and relays. The system allows controlling electrical devices via mobile phone by sending DTMF tones. When a button on the phone is pressed, the corresponding DTMF tone is decoded by the microcontroller. The microcontroller then activates the necessary relays to control the electrical loads. This allows remote control of appliances and robots through the mobile phone network without needing a separate remote controller.
The document discusses stress, its causes and effects on the body. It defines stress as the body's response to any physical or emotional changes, which includes increased heart rate and blood flow to muscles.

"Brain hacking through sound" by Antonio Chevez @ AlwaysOhmmmYear of the X
Sound has been used in all cultures throughout history for various purposes such as eliciting positive emotional states during celebrations, inducing altered states of consciousness during trance-like experiences, and adding depth of emotion to performances. The brain is constantly transmitting data between regions through brain waves in a similar way to Wi-Fi. Some of these signals come from within the body while others are environmental stimuli, though the brain cannot distinguish the difference. Neuroscience techniques such as brain-computer interfaces and electroencephalography can provide insights into how sound and other stimuli impact brain activity and performance.
