  People in that state of consciousness are using a specific combination of beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwaves. If you spent decades modeling the EEG patterns of yogis, swamis,... more info

  There was a lot of interest in biofeedback in the 1960's and then interest turned to more "scientific" endeavors such as genetics; we're only just beginning to realize our folly. Luckily a... more info
