Whgtgygr nggtf Biofeedback food of gods By DOUGLASGREENWOOD Science and Technology Correspondent When Mary Hartman TVs soapiest opera star talks about alma as she did recently you can bet biofeedback has really made the big time What used to be laboratory plaything is obviously well on its way to being superstar Dr Marvin Karlins and Lewis Andrews in their book Biofeedback Turning on the Power of Your Mind introduce their subject by describing an imaginary tour through health clinic of the future They call it Voluntarium There are no medical doctores just PhDs and ills ranging from warts to cancerous tumors glandular malfunctions to migraine and slow learning to anxiety states are all treated by teaching the patient selfcontrol of body and mind All biofeedback does is let you know how your own body or mind is functioning with training you can then learn to achieve large measure of control over such functions Titles and headlina of reports on biofeedback reveal the excitement it has created brainwavos become waves of the future and Psychology magazine even puns learning to play our internal organs EDGE OF SLEEP As has been reported in this column what is called alpha is mental condition akin to the edge of sleep Electrical energy in the brain pulsates at speed of about eight to thir teen cycles per second in this condition It is the state of mind which occurs during Yogi and Zen meditation It also may be achieved during what is known as Transcendental Meditation but without microvoltmeter it would be im possible to know If such an instrument is adjusted to respond with either light or buzz when your mind is generating alpha waves its easy with training to learn to get into such condition because the machine lets you know when alpha waves are present That is what biofeedback is its something like using compass or homing device on yourself When you do this you can tell immediately whether you are controlling your brain waves or not Electrodes attached to your scalp pick up the tiny voltages as low as eight mill ionths of volt given off when the brain is in alpha In this condition it has been shown that stress and anxiety caused by lifes problems can be treated Also by fixing electrodes to various muscles and using tentimesmore sensitive instrument musclerelaxation leading to headache cures and the alleviation of high bloodpressure conditions can be learned by the patient Then after training personal control of individual body conditions can be achieved without further need for the biofeedback machine Such control of the body systems can ultimately lead to all sorts of health benefits LEARN FASTER Some children and adults seem to be slow learners It is not necessarilv the case it mav iust be that they are slow readers It has been

adjusted awesomelooking electronic machines led to the belief in some instances that villainous form thought control was about to be forced on us all if didnt watch out This of course was totally in error of the true facts Rather it is the reverse we are gaining more and more knowledge and means to control our own minds peek into how our minds can get up to some contrary lit tle tricks however
