3.2. Garlic and Onions
It may also be helpful to eliminate onions and garlic from your diet. Yes, we know they can have many physical health benefits, especially for certain blood types, but we are talking here about bad effects on consciousness, not physical health. Some people first hear about eliminating onions and garlic
3.1. Caffeine, Nicotine and Alcohol
Research has shown that alpha is suppressed following use of certain common legal drugs. The legal drugs that you should, ideally, eliminate to create a brain environment that best supports alpha production are caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. 3.1.1. Caffeine Caffeine is the most commonly consumed legal drug. 166 million Americans
2.5. The Biocybernaut Institute and the Biocybernaut Process
The central purpose in my life’s work has been and continues to becreating technologies and methodologies for the increase of awareness and for the attainment of mastery in every area of human endeavors, which require expanded awareness and improved skills and abilities. I am keenly interested in assisting people who
2.4. You Are Naturally in Control
I want to make a really clear distinction between what I call ‘do-it-to-you’ inducement technologies that include any delivery of rhythmic sensory stimulation (sound or light) and drugs, and the natural learning technologies that include meditation and neurofeedback. With alpha feedback training, you are 100% in the driver’s seat, where
2.3. The Science of Biofeedback
The experience in the feedback chamber set me on a course of research and investigation into alpha brain wave feedback training and enhancement! I have since dedicated my life to developing and perfecting the science, technology and the training methods for teaching people how to increase their alpha brain wave
2.2. We Can Do That Here!
After I returned to Pittsburgh, I got in contact with a new friend I had met at Duquesne University, Rolf von Eckartsberg, who had been a grad student under Timothy Leary at Harvard and was now a professor of Phenomenological Psychology at Duquesne University. He had done lots of psychedelics,
2.1. Falling Into A Pool of Alpha
That very summer, after meeting Joe Kamiya at Carnegie Mellon University, I went out to visit him and volunteered to be a subject in one of his groundbreaking brain wave neurofeedback studies. During the study sessions, a laboratory technician would affix the scalp, ear, and ground electrodes, escort me into
1.7. The Alpha ‘High’
The production of alpha brain waves is an innate skill of our brains, but one consequence of the modern stressful lifestyle is that we have forgotten how to produce theta and alpha brain waves in the waking state – we’ve been conditioned out of it. When people are able to
1.6. The ABCs of Brain Waves
Brain waves are categorized in terms of their frequency, measured in cycles per second. The slowest frequency waves are delta waves (0-4 cycles/sec). Theta waves (4-7 cycles/sec) are bit faster; alpha waves (8-13 cycles/sec) are faster still, then beta waves (13-40) are even faster, and then gamma waves (25-70 cycles/sec)
1.5. The Roots of Brain Wave Research
The roots of brain wave research and the ability to understand and scientifically document various states of conscious awareness lie in a discovery made in 1908 by Hans Berger, an Austrian psychiatrist. He discovered the existence of oscillating electrical waves in the brain, and he called them alpha waves because
