History

In 2012, I was invited to study the brainwave activity of Janet Mayer, a woman who demonstrated channeling abilities. She could spontaneously speak four different South American tribal languages although she had no idea what she was saying. These languages were verified by an anthropologist who translated these speeches as prayers and teachings. After this experience, I was left with more questions than answers. How could this be possible? What does it mean? And what are the implications regarding consciousness?

This led to similar experiments with mediums, psychics, energy healers, and practitioners of psychokinesis. Repeatedly, I found interesting brainwave patterns that started to tell a story. While there are many individual differences, there are also consistent brain regions and brainwave patterns involved in these psi abilities.

The next step in this journey is to use this knowledge to help others explore their potential. By working with various neurostimulation technologies, meditations, and non-ordinary states of consciousness, it may be possible to enhance or develop these seemingly superhuman abilities in anyone that is interested.
