Visiting Speaker - Luciana Haill

Visiting Speaker - Luciana Haill
Luciana uses medical electrodes to analyse brainwave activity, and visulises them with audio and a 3D graphical representation of the data.

This was a fascinating topic, exploring the way the mind works and how it behaves under differnet emotional and physical states. This techonolgy opens up all sorts of possibilites to gain greater understanding of the human mind and our thought processes, and could have benefitial insight into the way we learn, and benefit rest and meditiation.
What i also found particually fascinating was when she mentioned the reults of using the brainwave analyser on plants, and the way they reacted to different stimuli. Human understanding in these areas is very limited, and it will be interesting to see how research in these areas develops.

Her website IBVA uk explains her work ...
''IBVA is a form of biofeedback for the brain called Neurofeedback. It's a training process of using technology to provide you with more information about what your body is doing than your ordinary senses provide. This "feedback" helps you learn to use your mind to develop greater control over your body, or, in the case of neurofeedback, your brain. IBVA is already used by :
• Hypnotherapists & NLP trainers
• Teachers, Universities & Research departments
• Musicians & Artists
• Home users, Alternative practitioners
• Sports trainers
• Life coaching
• Metaphysical & Psychic explorers''
