Why NLP works? Or Artificial Intelligence (AI) connection of Neuro Lingustic Programming

Image
        As a part of my profession, I work on artificial intelligence and deep learning. Artificial intelligence has good connection with Natural Language Processing, which is also called NLP but this post is about connection of Neuro Lingustic Programming and AI.         Recently I was learning about methods applied for object recognition. A method used by neural networks is very interesting. Let me first explain the method in short. If you know NLP then you will certainly able to correlate it with NLP.         A neural net generally has pictures of various objects and it learns from those pictures. For example, suppose we want to teach a neural network to identify a car. Then we are supposed to pass many pictures of various cars. Now let us see how neural net understands a car. A neural net down samples a picture to eliminate all the details to understands a shape of an object. Addi...

NLP: And she learnt walking again!

Image
        Have you ever seen a baby successfully walking for the first time? It is so much of fun! I have enjoyed it many times. Walking is a daily activity that we do not consider as a skill. When people grow old due to various reasons, they again may face challenges in walking and if they want to walk then it may be a new skill for them.         Recently an old woman of 67 years came to me. She had undergone a spine surgery after which she had challenges in walking. She met me 2 months after the surgery. Doctor has prescribed her physiotherapy for few days and later some daily exercises. Even after 2 months, she was using a walker or assistance. She was also worried if she will be ever able to walk independently. Once or twice, she fell down while walking and that reduced her confidence further.         One good thing about NLP, is the change is fast and persistent . When I thought ...

NLP: The inevitable separation

Image
         When anyone is born, he is separated from his mother. This is not a pleasant separation and most of us cannot deal with it. This might be one of the reason babies cry when born. Later, some of us learn to cope up with the separation quickly and some of us take more time. This is a story of Sohan (name changed for obvious purposes) who needed more time to deal with the separation from mother.         Sohan’s mother visited me one day and told me that Sohan used to get dreams that his parents would be separated from him on his fourth birthday. Due to this, he rejected to sleep during nights and sometimes even during daytime. He also wanted to be with his mother for 24 hours. When consulted to a doctor (I think psychologist), he suggested sleeping pills to Sohan, but even after sleeping pills, Sohan didn’t sleep. Later sleeping pills were (fortunately) stopped. After few months, when the doctor made him go throug...

NLP: And driving on highway becomes fun

Image
Long ago I had seen NLP video where a famous NLP master helped a lady to eliminate fear of driving. He helped her in a session of just 45 minutes and later she could drive well. It was unbelievable for me at that time. Later as I learnt more about NLP, I understand that NLP works so fast that it’s easily possible to eliminate fear in minutes. Recently, I worked with a client who had similar fear driving on Highways. Here is a story of him. For the purpose of hiding identity let’s call him Adi. Adi met me and told that he is not comfortable driving on highways beyond certain speeds. He came with his wife and she said he is generally under stress while driving on highways. He also gets angry on other people in the car or drivers of other vehicles without significant reason so long drives are memorable for some undesirable reason. I decided to go with him on highway. When we started I realized that his body is stiff. I also didn’t see much confidence while overtaking another veh...
