sensitivity of cats to colors It was originally thought that cats could see only shades of grey Dr Brown discovered that although cats did not respond to the standard tests for color discrimination leg food for one color no food for another their brainwaves were distinct ly influenced by different col ors As she points out Cats are notoriously perverse creatures they never let you know what they know about anything anyway When Dr Brown investigated human response to color she quickly found that she had opened up an entirely new con cept of human phenomena Her work led her to what is now known as biofeedback where our brainwaves and other sub conscious functions can be con trolled OLOR AND SICK In the meantime other sctcn tists were working on and fin dlng fascinating things about how color

wearing coat of many colors When Dr Brown discovered that we are all divided into non visualizers of color and visualizers she also established the astounding fact that the brainwaves of nonvisualizers could be synchronized to red flashes The brainwaves of visualizers however were not affected by red flashes but could be generated in pulses that were in time with blue flashes Since
