Piracy. Capricious review takedowns. Nasty lies in author wars. Real fans being drowned out by haters and unable to know if their money is going to their fave authors. This is the current state of selling books on the internet, particularly on the virtual bookstore that shall not be named. Enter blockchain and a bright…

Appearing on Lindamood-Bell Radio
I’m pleased to tell you all I was interviewed for Lindamood-Bell radio, a weekly podcast about personal experiences with their courses, research on their methods, and education. Being a student with a brain injury, I wasn’t sure I’d regain my pre-concussion book reading. Lindamood-Bell not only evaluated me fully, unlike the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, they…
Fanship in Beta
One summer day, I listened to a webinar on block chain, hosted by Access Copyright. I did something unusual: I put my name and email down to contact me about developments. Usually, I don’t because . . . fatigue. Sigh. A few months later, they asked me if I’d like to be part of a…
COVID-19 Creates Another New Routine
One of the things about brain injury, like with COVID-19, is that you need routine to function well. Yet when you access treatments, routines must change upon returning skills, changed talents, and increasing functionality. Sometimes finding a new therapy or new psychiatrist or psychologist means a disrupted routine and once again finding your way to…
Gamma 38 to 42Hz Audiovisual Entrainment for Brain Injury, Single Subject Study
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…
Gamma 38 to 42Hz DAVID Delight Pro
On the advice of Mind Alive to drink a glass of water 20 minutes before gamma audiovisual entrainment, I made sure I didn’t dally between drinking water and eating and starting this session, this time. Had a bit of eye set trouble. Almost gave up. But switched eye sets, checked lights were on, then closed…
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…
