EEG (Electroencephalograph): A device for detecting and graphically displaying micro currents of brainwave activity.

Effectors: The organs (muscles or glands) that perform the actual response functions of adjustment.

Efferent Neurons: Neuron that carries messages from the CNS to an organ of response. Also known as motor neuron.

Eidetic Imagery: Sensory imagery, primarily visual, which practically reaches the clarity of actual perception.

Emotion: Internal or visceral activity.

Emotional Behavior: Behavior that is activated by the ANS.

Emotional Outlet: A learned action or way to release emotional energy.

Empathy: The ability to perceive and attune to the feelings, energies and emotional states of another person without becoming identified with them.

Endorphins: Any of several peptides secreted in the brain that have a pain-relieving effect like that of morphine. These analgesic chemicals are naturally produced by the body. Neurotransmitters produced in the brain that generate cellular and behavioral effects like those of morphine.

Epinephrine: A hormone, released by the adrenal medulla and the brain that acts with norepinephrine to activate the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. Sometimes called adrenaline.

EPC (Etheric Plane Communication): A way of communicating to another person through the use of active imagination and also to communicate with different parts of oneself.

Evoked Potentials: A measure of the brain's electrical activity in response to sensory stimuli. This is obtained by placing electrodes on the surface of the scalp (or more rarely, inside the head), repeatedly administering a stimulus, and then using a computer to average the results.

Euphoria: real or suggested conditions of extreme well being or pleasure.

Excitation: A change in the electrical state of a neuron that is associated with an enhanced probability of action potentials.
