Greetings to all at MSOWorld and thank you for the opportunity to communicate with you.

Please feel free to make statements and express opinions as well as ask questions.

As my personal background has already been detailed in the preview, perhaps a word about my occupation:

For the past 10 years I have been the Research Director of the Alphalearning Institute with the responsibility of developing and manufacturing "state of the art" brain training equipment.

Our clientele (see client list) is predominately comprised of senior corporate executives, military officers and professional athletes. We are honored to be able to communicate with your group of professional brain athletes.

All of the recommendations I have seen on previous MSO chat reviews about how to train the brain are correct and we are in complete agreement.

The difference in our work is that our clients wanted to achieve the results faster and with scientific verification.

To accomplish this, it was necessary to develop EEG equipment to measure precisely each individuals brain balance and control.

In testing and training over 3,000 people in the past 10 years, we have never seen (prior to our training) a perfectly balanced left-right brain. Over 20,000 EEGs, which would be over 600 miles long when printed, have proven beyond doubt that all brains can be improved. Most, quite dramatically!

Dr. S. E. Shaywitz, Yale University School of Medicine, - "Reading is the pinnacle of what humans can do, it is the most complex of human functions!" See more about the world records in speed reading.

We realized as early as 1990 that to read properly and to both comprehend and remember the information, required that the left and right brain be working in balanced harmony.

It was also obvious that information input had to occur at 7 - 9 Hz. While memory had to occur at 3 - 5 Hz. Read more about brainwave frequencies.

Improving the ability to read automatically improves the performance of race drivers, shooters, skiers, memory experts, problem solvers and game players. All need both balance and control to achieve maximized performance. A balanced brain equals a balanced body.

To achieve these results required the invention, development and production of Brainwave I.

Brainwave I is a computerized device EEG to measure the brain's performance in the 6 major functional categories; assimilating verbal information, relaxing (meditation), reading, memorization, recall and decision making.

The second device is a linked optical-coustical (light and sound) computerized input system to allow the brain to experience and integrate the correct balance and frequency for each function.

The EEG shows clearly the second by second changes in the brain achieved by the optical-acoustical training and verifies the permanent results of the training in follow-up tests.

The equipment required an investment of over $ 5,000,000 and 2 years of testing before it worked properly.

The training program requires 30 hours for an individual or 40 - 50 hours for a group of 6 - 8 individuals.

The results are permanent, as Synapsia said in 1994, "Brain surgery with light and sound is now a reality". Forbes calls it "Nautilus equipment for the brain".

Brain balance and control can be achieved by hundreds of techniques, most requiring 10 - 30 years of practice. The only difference with Brainwave I is that the same results are achieved in a few days.

Our question to the 10,000 - 15,000 participants in the MSO is:

Why, after the technology has been available for 8 years, are Dominic O'Brien (World Memory Champion) and Henry Hopking (9th place Speed Reading Champion) the only participants using a Brainwave I?

I hope the following discussion will prove to be both provocative and productive.

If there is not enough time to answer/reply to all questions/comments, please feel free to E-mail me for a personal answer.

OK, Chris, let's go!!

Sean will be chatting live at http://www.msoworld.com/chat.html on Sunday 23rd January between 9pm and 11pm GMT (US times: 1pm - 3pm Pacific, 4pm - 6pm Eastern). If you can't attend, we invite you to send your questions to us at chat@msoworld.com and look here after the event for a full log of the chat session.
