The  << VIRTUAL SCANNING >>

VIRTUAL SCANNING It is one of the first computerized applications of the expanding filed of neurosciences.It is an outstanding device for diagnostic and therapeutic aid and represents cutting edge technology.

It has been developed by researchers from the KRASNOYARSK university under the leadership of  I.G. GRAKOV between 1986 and 1996.

Dr Grakov, whose reputation is firmly established in Russia, is a distinguished member of the Academy of Sciences.

Studies which have led to the creation of the VIRTUAL SCANNING are particularly based on:

-         the concept of biological response induced by waves and wave frequencies
(B.S. Grakov, I.G. Grakov, 1985) ;

-         the paramount importance of regulation systems and, particulary of encephalon in the correction of disorders and diseases (N.P. Bekhtevera , 1974, 1980, 1997) ;

-         the concept of a pathological « functional systems» as one of the most cmmon mechanisms underlying numerous central nervous system pathology forms ( G.N. Kryzhanovskiy ,1980,1984) ;

-     the definition of IRFSUAP, Inhibition and Relaxation Functional System of Urgent   

      Adaptation and Protection by Yu.V.Vysochin (1983, 1988, 2000), enabling the body to

      adjust to homeostasis disorders.

I.G. GRAKOV who has carried out very specific researches about « virtual reality » has developed a real time « biomathematic » model, enabling psychometric and behavioural profiling of a person. Through this process it is possible to detect all the pathological processes that occur in the physical body.

Virtual scanning, which is best known under the name STRANNIK, is currently used in more than 250 medical institutes in Russia and in the Ukraine.  This technology has been recognized and approved by the Russian and Ukrainian Departments of Health.  Virtual scanning technology evolves continuously: this presentation introduces the latest (2005) version.

The Brain

Virtual scanning concepts connects together two asoppects of brain function:
1.      the brain as a biochemical system
2.      the brain as a calculation and analytical system.

The basic methodological principle how well brain processes reflect the outer and inner environments.

Grakov views the brain as an interactive organ processing two sets of data:
1.      data from the outer environment (through sense organs)
2.      data from the « inner environment » (through our physical body).

The brain receives all the sensory inputs coming from the sense organs.  In this way the brain has all the information and perceptions from the outer world.  This is the reason why each person has a subjective and personal way of seeing the « outer reality ».

Furthermore, this center receives signals from both the body organs emotions (the client’s inner perceptual world)

 Any signal coming into the brain has its own characteristics (energy, frequency, spatiotemporal data etc.).  From this signal, a specific image or matrix with the corresponding characteristics is created.

The biomathematical model which has been defined and developed by GRAKOV enables quantification of the resulting information, using algorithm (mathematical  formulas).

The set of these matrixes makes up the total « body scheme » i.e. a complete and integrated biomathematical model of the body.

The brain tries to maintain current body activities and responses in line with the reference scheme (etalon), through the action of its basic functions (perception, imagination, associative thinking, memory, motivation, decision-making etc…).

In the VIRTUAL SCANNING system, the brain is the general regulation center. There are two main types of action:
1. When there is a conflict or a particular stress, the brain tries to find a solution.  If the brain finds it (and it happens more often than not), the conflict is solved.  Then, there is no longer stress and there are no secondary reactions.

2. In case of failure to resolve a conflict or stress, the brain sends messages to the body. Since it is trying unsuccessfully to resolve a situation that it can’t, more and more secondary reactions occur, leading to the development of a disorder or a disease.

Essentially  the brain generates a distorted directive that fails to match the basic body scheme.

Thus medical disorders can be considered as resulting from deviations in the brain regulation programme.  They are generated by mistakes in the programming.

The  EVALUATION.

A - Principles

Every day we discover the outer world through our sensory mechanisms, including sight, taste, smell, hearing and touch.

In the test procedure, light and colour are used to analye the different brain functions and their activity.

Sight is our main sensory mechanism because it is able to provide the highest quantity of sensory information and also the finest control of sensory inputs.  Thus sight is considered the most suitable sensory mechanism for this test procedure.

Light enables regulation of the body in a very specific way.  Disruptions in the regulation programme due to the development of pathological processes or diseases can be identified as (measurable) deviations from the way we perceive colours.

GRAKOV explains these factors by referring to the outer matrix and the inner matrix.
The outer matrix is:
1. continuously changing by taking into account variable parameters of the outer environment
2. is always available in order to respond to different outer threats or to sensory information.

The outer matrix is in direct contact with the inner matrix that controls the body health (because it gives the brain an assessment about the ability of the physical body to act and to respond) and that provides the steady flow of information reaching the outer matrix.

 The inner matrix receives a steady flow of information:
1.    from the organs to the brain ( in pathological processes)
2.    from the brain to the organs (in compensation processes).

Each pathological process has an influence on each person’s unique ability to perceive colours, and this can be measured by the test.  Moreover, our psychometric profile is affected significantly by our physical body.

GRAKOV sees each neural matrix as a complex grid of colours and he defines colours as coded means of sending data to the brain.

When we are healthy, our neural mechanism is able to receive all the colours.  But, when we are ill, this ability is affected.  Consequently there are changes in our neural parameters, especially in the way we perceive colours and in our ability to restore colours: the ability to restore coluours is the primary basis of the diagnostic test.

This health analysis provide very precise information despite being a totally non-invasive method that only involves interactions between the patient and the computer through a programme based on colour analysis.  The programme helps to assess different parameters, including memory, perception, imagination, associative thinking or the ability to make decisions.

The VIRTUAL SCANNING uses data from the diagnostic test to build the biomathematical model of the person, using algorithms (mathematical formulas) to develop a unique model totally appropriate to each person.  The VIRTUAL SCANNING assesses deviations from a reference model to reveal disorders and abnormalities at a pre-symptomatic stage.

B – Practice

The test procedure is like an interactive computer game.

During the test, the patient has to study and remember colours of a film sequence for a few seconds.  This film is repeated several times.

After these projections, the colours of the film are modified through a filter or a coloured lense.

Using the mouse, the patient has to choose colours from a six-colour palette and try to restore the initial colours in the film, until it is very close to the original.

This procedure is repeated with different lenses and with different film sequences until conclusions can be reached.

It generally takes 3 to 5 film sequences.  The test can be longer if the patient is exceptionally tired or if his/her pathology causes disruptions to the exam (e.g. Alzheimer disease or encephalopathy).

Then, the information that has been collected is directly tested if the therapist has a complete system, or is sent for analysis to the server, via internet.   The diagnostic procedure takes from 15 to 30 minutes.

Results are then decoded by the practionner.

C - Results

1 - Psychometric Profile

The VIRTUAL SCANNING helps to define a kind of psychometric profile of the person.

This profile takes into account a number of elements such as emotions, the way a person usually acts and behavioural habits.  Each item is assessed, i.e.quantified according to GRAKOV methodology.

Thus sorrow, patience, anger, creativity, hastiness, the ability to work and joy are represented by white or black blocks of different size depending on how important this feature is in the patient’s psychic organization.

Initially this profile gives an elementary psychological portrait underlying some qualities and faults, ie some « defects » of the patient.

Next it offers a « social » portrait with items, such as integrated, working for the community, cunning, greed, kindness or envy etc…

These two portraits are displayed in an integrated way  by a circle made up of two parts of unequal size: a black one and a white one . This reprsentas an assessment of the patient’s ability to place himself/herself in the real world or to refuge in the imaginative world, more or less consciously.

GRAKOV particularly insists on the ability for change and on the conditions ( i.e. the elements) that each person needs to make this change happen.

A significant part of the psychometric profile is represented by 12 blocks of 2 different colours.  These blocks are shown on a continuous spectrum from intention to ahievement.

Each of these blocks is an essential stage to effect change.  They progress through intention to desire, from desire to will, to knowledge, imagination, memory or the ability to carry out one’s ideas…

Each block is also evaluated separately, independent of whether it is active (blue) or blocked (yellow).  This helps the patient to consider the strengths to be bolstered and the weaknesses to be reinforced in order to carry out the changes, a recovery project or a more existential project.

2 - Physic and Organic Profile

This chapter is much more developed and detailed than the previous one.
It considers the body as a whole, analyses the different organs and the different systems and studies their interrelation.

 Three colours are used to illustrate the 1^st chart:

• red for an acute phenomenon and a disorder that is often serious 
• yellow for more chronic phenomena that are older or less important 
• green for areas in balance, for low-risk areas.

The first chart represents the brain and all the organs. When red is spread with a little everywhere the problem is probably linked to the central control system and there are important stresses, sleeping disorders or chronic fatigue syndrome.

When red is focused in some particular areas, it is possible to obtain more specific information by clicking on the matching areas.

The diagnostic information is particularly sensitive: it will detect dysfunction at an early stage.

Some specific areas available for analysis are:

Within each area a detailed analysis is available. Some examples are:

3 – Studies and Researches

All the information that you will find here comes from the following Russian website http://www.iufs.edu/strannik.ru/

We are not responsable for their assertions

I.G. GRAKOV, « The Nation’s Health » State Progamme Deputy Director have summarized their approach in an overview article.

The STRANNIK diagnostic efficiency has been tested and stated in many medical centers and hospitals in Russia and in the Ukraine.

The information that has been provided by the STRANNIK has been corroborated to 80% in many cases in paraclinical explorations.

Publications from these studies conclude that the STRANNIK system gives more information and has a more sensitive approach to detect disorders, especially at a pre-pathological stage than most traditional research methods.

In many cases, the STRANNIK conclusions have been confirmed by researchers using other methods of analysis, some weeks or even months later after the diagnostic test.

Thus virtual scanning has great merit in diagnosing some pre-pathological conditions and dysfunctions at early preclinical stage, i.e. when control disorders and regulation functions are undetectable by traditional methods. So, It is a real functional diagnostic tools.

Treatment

A – Principle

The principle of the VIRTUAL SCANNING treatment is therapy using colour flashes.  These colours correspond to each disorder that has been detected and is specific to the patient.

Thus this strictly individual and patient specific therapy is based on a set of colours (with colour changes, intensity changes, light changes, scanning frequency changes, duration changes). These are presented to the patient with a frequency corresponding to the delta rhythm of EEG (ie. 0,5 to 3 hz) and are transmitted to the central nervous system through visual sensors (the eyes).

The concept of using light flash in a colour therapy is comparatively recent.  It was developed in Russia since 1986 and has only been marketed since the end of the nineties.  It goes well beyond classical colour therapies and traditional colour therapy approaches.

GRAKOV states that 90 % of the body balance is particularly provided by colours, which induce the physiological functions that the body needs by bringing specific signals.

Light quantum are detected and coded by the brain to control the regulation programme of the body. As time goes by and people age, the capacities of this organisms inbuilt programme decreases and disorders appear.

The VIRTUAL SCANNING restores the regulation programme.  The defects of this regulation programme are decoded and revealed during the diagnostic procedure.  Adjustments are made during the therapy phase by sending a set of colours to the brain with a frequency corresponding to the delta rhythm.

Virtual scanning can also be related to researches on synchronization of cerebral waves in the USA and in Great-Britain.  There are still uncertainties about the meaning of the different cerebral waves and their role in the brain functions.  But, it has been noticed that each kind of waves is involved in specific cerebral processes (imagination, concentration, analysis, memory etc.).

Delta waves that are associated to heavy sleep are involved in recovery and regeneration mechanisms including:

·        Elimination of toxins that have been built up in the brain during the day ;
·        Damaged tissue repair ;
·        Regeneration of the immune system ;
·        Production of growth hormone ;
·        Data exchange with the body organs…

During the diagnostic stage, the VIRTUAL SCANNING sends to the computer a set of « matrices » that are specific to the patient.  GRAKOV refers to them as « personal biological model ».

This virtual technology is based on the assessment and juxtaposition of matrices, thus reproducing the functioning of the brain.

GRAKOV postulates that the link between the different parts of the brain is also affected by cerebral programmes that can be synchronized by selecting light scanning waves, colour scanning waves and light intensity scanning waves.

During the therapy phase, the VIRTUAL SCANNING reproduces the necessary characteristics of some matrices (those that are totally or sunstantially adsent) and adjusts some characteristics of other matrices.  The brain will intrinsically adapt to these characteristics to restore its regulation functions.

B – Practice

After assessment the therapy program is encoded onto a CD-Rom.

This CD is put on the patient’s computer.

Each CD represents a treatment cycle of a minimum 2 to 4 months’ duration.

The corrections are related to each organ and to each disrupted function.

Each of the dysfunctional organs and each of the functions are considered in turn, block after block, according to the priorities and imbalances in the patient’s health.

Each block corresponds to a 6-session cycle.

Each therapy session lasts 20 minutes.

1 to 3 sessions per day are advised (generally 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening).

The first positive effects generally appear after 2 to 3 weeks, according to the daily frequency of the sessions.

Some more complex pathologies require 3 or even 4 complete therapy cycles.

C – Studies and Researches

Amongst the studies that have been made in Russia, GRAKOV mention in their summary report  research involving 1066 patients, irrespective of their pathology, who have followed from 1 to 3 complete treatment cycles with the STRANNIK.

Some of these patients had additional treatments: allopathy, homeopathy, massages etc.

The treatment was said to be effective when the person following a complete treatment noticed a real health improvement and when this improvement was confirmed through biological or traditional paraclinical means.

This study leads to positive therapeutic effects in more than 90 % of cases without causing any negative consequences or deterioration to the patient’s health.

Another report by VYSOCHIN states that a research has been carried out on 1672 patients while another communication by GRAKOV says that 1516 patients have been involved.  Both of them mention a similar level of improvement.

The outstanding conclusions of these different studies do not mean that the STRANNIK is a panacea for the treatment and cure of all diseases or that other therapeutic approaches should be rejected.

It is better and more realistic (because even in the studies that have been made in Russia, it is said that patients continued existing treatment and added STRANNIK therapy) to consider Strannik technology as therapeutic assistance that completes treatments suggested to the patient and that is able to increase their efficiency and to restore balance and health more rapidly.
