Apr 29th, 2015 Dave and Nancy Siever have been operating their company, Mind Alive Inc., since 1981 and are now celebrating a 20 year relationship with the BBB. They design, manufacture and sell brainwave entrainment devices worldwide. I interviewed them about how they felt this has been a beneficial situation for them. What does the BBB do? BBB (Better Business Bureau) handles many kinds of complaints. The complaints cover all aspects of business: Guarantee /...

Astonished, Dave looked on as the DAVID 1 was able to eliminate masseter muscle tension (as measured with EMG), plus it was able to induce hand-warming (a...

IntroductionAll mental functioning involves an element of cortical (neuronal) arousal, that is, the alertness of the brain. The degree of the brain’s arousal dramatically affects how well a particular function can be performed. For instance, it is almost impossible to pay attention if the brain is producing an excess of alpha or theta brain waves (Oken & Salinsky, 1992), just as it’s difficult to fall asleep with a high beta to alpha ratio (alert mind)...

Mind Alive BlogTuesday, October 2, 2012 Activity in the brain is often measured by observing and recording “brainwaves” which are rhythmic or repetitive neural activity. Brainwaves can be observed using a technology called Electroencephalography (EEG) which measures electrical brainwave activity along the scalp. Brainwaves are categorized by frequency with each category having different positive and negative effects, depending on your current and desired level of arousal or alertness. Brainwaves indicate both the level and type of arousal in a part of the...
