Most people are shocked when they are told that increasing their cognitive abilities is possible. It was once thought that mental capabilities were set in stone, unchanging since birth. But much of what we know about the mind has changed since then, particularly in the last 10 years. Research has found that there are many factors playing even larger roles in IQ. For example, someone with ADD, properly treated, can experience huge leaps in IQ score, sometimes up to 30 or more points! Similarly, removing psychological barriers, limiting beliefs and increasing confidence can have a huge impact on cognitive abilities.
So, how do we go about training the brain for optimal performance? One answer, and quite possible the most simple and efficient solution is Brainwave and Neural Stimulation.
A typical human brain is functioning on low capacity. Although the idea that a normal brain only uses 10% of its capacity is a myth, most people's brains are not functioning properly. For example, studies show that the brains of many people, when confronted with a problem, will actually switch gears and start working less! Instead of switching to logic and "work mode", the brain switches to patterns of frustration and emotion. Most people have simply not learned to "turn on" these higher cognitive abilities when the time is right. Most people are unfamiliar with the states of intense concentration and laser-like focus that come so easily to the great thinkers of our time. To correct this problem, researchers endeavored to recreate the brainwave patterns of over achieving, successful individuals - the most intelligent 1% of the population. What they found is truly remarkable. By helping to optimize brainwave patterns, people can both temporarily increase cognitive abilities and train the brain to produce this activity on its own.
Psychology, emotional state and Hypnotic Suggestion have also been shown to effect cognitive abilities. Hypnotic suggestion has also been successfully used to increase memory retention and focus. Further, most people have limiting beliefs, thinking perhaps that they are incapable of incredible feats of memory or complex mental calculations. For example, a common limiting belief is "I am not good at math." And, of course, as long as you believe this, nothing will keep your mind from making it true. It is just as important to provide a psychological basis for increased intelligence, as it is to provide the necessary neural activity. Using Suggestion and a set of practical Psychological techniques, this goal becomes easier than ever to achieve.
Some Facts: ·Thomas Budzynski, Ph.D worked with 8 struggling college students. After undergoing audio-visual brainwave stimulation, the students outperformed a control group and significantly increased their GPA. GPA for the 8 students continued to rise even after treatment was discontinued! ·Harold Russel Ph.D. and John Carter, Ph.D., of the University of Houston, did several studies in which they used brainwave entrainment to treat ADHD and other learning disorders. After a short period of treatment, they observed 5 to 7 point increases in IQ. ·Michael Tansey used a similar protocol to increase 11 - 19hz brainwaves in people suffering from dyslexia and other learning disorders, reporting a 19 point average increase in IQ. ·Drs. Siegfried and Susan Othmer found, in a controlled study, that beta training in the 15-18 Hz range can produce significant shifts in IQ score, particularly with people who are suffering from ADD/ADHD and other disorders. In cases where the starting IQ value is less than 100, the average IQ increase was 33 points! They also found significant improvements in memory, reading and arithmetic. In a one year follow-up, trainees showed major improvements in self-esteem, concentration and self-expression. ·Psychologist Michael Joyce used brainwave entrainment with a group of 30 children and observed vast improvements in reading level and a half year advancement in grade level as well as substantial improvements in attention, reaction and a reduction in impulsivity and variability.
So, how does one approach brainwave entrainment? There are a number of products on the market and most of them work to varying degrees. Do a search for Brainwave Entrainment or Mind Machines and you will find several. Some of the features you want to consider include:
* Flexibility * Effectiveness * Ease of Use * User Friendly Customization * Customer Support * Clear and Comprehensive Documentation * Reasonable Cost

Can the product be used to reach a variety of goals? The more flexible a product is, the more use you will get from it. Contact customer service to ask any questions you may have and consider how helpful their replies are. Check the documentation. Are the protocols used for this entrainment system well researched? Is the information presented in a professional manner? Download sample sounds or, better, trial software and experiment with it. The experience should be a pleasant one.

ADHD The Easier Solution |
|
ADHD is a very rapidly growing part of the health care industry. The symptoms are varied, including: irritability, hyperactivity and behavioral problems. Many kids are so affected that they require some pretty hefty drugs to control them.
I spoke at a medical conference in Denver in 2004. One of the other speakers was a pharmacology researcher. He brought up a statistic that indicated that kids on Ritalin [one of the prevailing drugs for ADHD] tend to become addicted to methamphetamines.
On the radio the other day, NPR was talking about giving these kids marijuana for the symptoms.
What are we doing to our kids?
According to the Psychology Department @ the University of Tennessee, kids with TRUE ADHD average about 5-7% of a normal classroom. However, somewhere between 50% of kids in school today are diagnosed and treated for ADHD.
