Introduction In 2012, following my inclusion in and subsequent exit from a drug trial that increases GABA in the brain, the ADD Centre, working with me, demonstrated that brain biofeedback of 39 to 42Hz at CZ can increase gamma brainwaves and effect radical improvement in a person with brain injury. You can find the research…

Thoughts on Designing Gamma Audiovisual Entrainment Experiment
I’ve tried all three of the gamma audiovisual entrainment (AVE) sessions on Mind Alive’s DAVID Delight Pro device and have enough information to start developing an hypothesis and methodology. I began this experiment because COVID-19 pandemic disrupted my weekly or three-times-a-month gamma brainwave biofeedback sessions at the ADD Centre. It soon became apparent that in…
First Gamma 40Hz Audiovisual Entrainment
I completed eleven sessions of SMR/gamma brainwave audiovisual entrainment on Saturday. The DAVID Delight Pro has three gamma sessions, and the Clinical Director of the ADD Centre where I’ve been receiving gamma brainwave biofeedback weekly for years, suggested the 40Hz session would be best for me. I’d decided to ease into trying gamma audiovisual entrainment…
Seventh SMR/Gamma DAVID Delight Pro Session
I had a very bad day yesterday. My neurodoc said it wasn’t a great assessment of SMR/gamma brainwave entrainment because when have something going in the opposite direction, it neutralizes its efficacy. Having deep relaxation was thus a bonus. And he’s seen this new session being beneficial to me so far, notwithstanding yesterday. This reminds…
Fifth SMR/Gamma Mind Alive DAVID Delight Pro Session
This COVID-19 pandemic inducing early shopping panic, so many self-isolating needing groceries delivered, and no government or charity arranging grocery pickup and delivery for people with disabilities like me, meant it took me a week to work out where to order from that didn’t charge an arm and a leg and that actually allowed me…
First Mind Alive Gamma Session
With COVID-19 cancelling my brain biofeedback appointments at the ADD Centre plus having to miss the session just before lockdown because of exhaustion from participating in Brain Storm, I began to feel the absence of no gamma brainwave training. Fortunately, Mind Alive has added three gamma sessions to their DAVID Delight Pro and DAVID Delight…
Brain Storm, A Play in One Act, An Opportunity in One Year
The opportunity began in 2017 with an ordinary BIST outing to see Brain Storm by Taliesin McEnaney at the Toronto Fringe Festival. I wrote a review. I released my revised book Concussion Is Brain Injury to the world shortly after. Based on my review and my book, Taliesin, a member of the Brain Injury Society…
Brain Storm — A Play Worth Seeing!
“A visually arresting and comically haunting look at the ramifications of brain surgery and how one woman finds her way in a reality that is forever different. BRAIN STORM takes you into the operating theatre, to dissect the question; are our brains magic, machines or both?” UPDATE: I will be on the talk-back panel after…
Remembering Pastor Duke Vipperman
My Pastor, The Rev. Canon Dr. Walter Bryce (Duke) Vipperman, died on Friday, 3 January 2020 from cancer at the age of 69. This is my eulogy of an ordinary, radical man. The sun shone on the church steps as Duke shook hands with congregants emerging through the ornery wood church doors. I hung back…
