National Child Education Conference 2009

Yes, I went. The conference had something very interesting..profiling via your fingerprints. They call it dermatoglyphics. Is our whole life fingerprinted?

Its not fortune telling.

The FBI uses it.

Dermatoglyphs give insight into a critical period of embryogenesis, between 4 weeks and 5 months of the infant in utero, when the architecture of the major organ systems is developing.

Research into the formation of ridges on our fingertips began as early as 1893. Apparently as the baby grows in utero, the ridges on our fingers form with brain development. And the amazing fact is that the nerve endings on the fingers are related to the brain function.

Example: the nerves at the tip of the thumbs are related to the pre-frontal lobes; the area that conducts and orchestrates the rest of the brain. This is one convincing fact for me as I have studied about the connections of the thumb to other fingers as in the mudras. I had always wondered why mudras worked and that concluded that they were apparently just religious in nature. Big debate here for my Christian friends.

So we now have technology and statistical evidence to determine the gifts and talents of anyone even from birth.

Interesting Fact: Anyone has the genius print on their thumbs? 70% of suicide cases have this print.

I Googled "dermatogyphics" and I was pleasantly surprised with the information available.

Next my psychologist at home will need convincing. Hehe.. thats the one who is puling my ear in the photo.
