Andreas,

I am very impressed with your comments ...
You've touched on precisely the reason I am here.

I sold my brainmaster as soon as this happened

Yes! There have also been some attempts to patent such
things. Ridiculous.

This is precisely why I am here my friend. I want to put
this tech into the hands of the mainstream. The battles
between MDs and Psychologists and Neurofeedback people
is really bothering me. Take ADD/ADHD for example. The
MD will prescribe ritulin. The psychologist will say
that ADD/ADHD doesn't exist, and the biofeedback people
will say use neurofeedback. I'm not going to postulate
on who is right, but is children who are suffering. I
am sickened by the prescribing of speed to children.
Ritilin plus Talwin is called "poor man's heroin" ...

Namaste,
Doug
