"There's a revolution going on. The present era in neuro-science is comparable to the time
when Louis Pasteur first found out that germs cause disease."
Candice Pert, Neuroscientist

Vincent Giampapa, M.D. of Longevity Institute International and vice president of theAmerican Society of Anti-Aging Medicine, reveals that placing a listener in the alpha, theta,
and delta brain wave patterns dramatically affect production of three important hormones
related to both increased longevity and physical well-being: Cortisol, DHEA, and melatonin.
Cortisol is the major age-accelerating hormone within the brain. It also interferes with
learning and memory and is, in general, bad news for your health and your well-being.DHEA
levels are a key determinant of physiological age and resistance to disease. When DHEA
levels are low, you're more susceptible to aging and disease; when they're high, the body is at
its peak -- vibrant, healthy, and able to combat disease effectively.
Improved Mental CapabilityA study by Dr Siegfried Othmer, international leader in the field of neurofeedback and
brainwave training, led him to conclude that brainwave training has exceptional effects on
intelligence. On average, individuals experienced a 23% increase in IQ. Individuals that
began brainwave training with IQ levels that were less than 100 have been shown to enjoy IQ
gains of 33 points on average, in addition to significant improvements in reading
comprehension, memory related tasks and logic handling abilities. A year later, a follow up
with those involved in the study found major improvements in self concept, creativity and
concentration.
A study by Thomas Budzynski, Ph.D found that college students who used brainwave
training technology drastically out performed those that did not in both academic tasks and by
GPA.
An M.D. associated with Dr. Siegfried Othmer used brainwave training to treat a boy with an
IQ of 70 who was labeled as mildly retarded. A year later this boy was retested and the
improvements were startling; he scored 60% higher with an IQ of 112. This specific case is
consistent with a myriad of similar cases that have been documented with children with sub
90 IQ scores. Dr. Siegfried Othmer says that "brainwave training clearly facilitates the
organization of mental functioning."
A 2003 study at Imperial College in London supports the notion that brainwave training
improves cognition. Neuroscientists Tobias Egner and John H. Gruzelier recruited test
subjects at the Royal College of Music, London's elite school for promising young musicians.
Some of the subjects learned, via feedback on a computer screen, how to control the slow
waves in the alpha and theta ranges. After neurofeedback, the musicians' abilities had grown
enormously, according to expert evaluators.

When the fight or flight response happens our brain waves move into the higher Beta waves,
producing heaps of cortisol which is known as the stress hormone and is extremely bad for your
health.
When we are in this state our blood flow is directed away from the brain and sent toward the
periphery of the body, our bloodstream is flooded with sugar, our heart rate, blood pressure and
breathing, rapidly increases, enabling us to prepare to defend ourselves by fighting or fleeing a
dangerous situation.
In this state, learning ability, as well as other mental functions including problem solving andreasoning ability are inhibited. This response is incredible and can indeed be life-saving.

Howevermany people experience this response on a regular basis through pressure at work, traffic
jams, relationships and many more situations that are not life-threatening.
To be in this state (increased blood pressure etc.) and not have to fight or run for our life is
extremely disabling and explains why stress is indeed the biggest killer.
What we need to create in our lives is the relaxation response. Regular practise of meditation will
induce the production in the brain of alpha and theta brain waves, which will then reduce our heart
rate and blood pressure, relax muscles, and increase the quantity of oxygen flow to the brain.
