And it’s even coasting into fitness territory-Megaformer pioneer Sebastien Lagree is working on a mind-controlled version of his new Supraformer machine (yes, really). With the help of high-powered neurofeedback devices, students learn how to biohack the same brain patterns as an advanced Zen meditator in just 5 days. If you’ve got $15,000 to spare, you can embark upon Bulletproof founder Dave Asprey’s 40 Years of Zen program. We’re seeing it in the form of consumer-friendly headbands like those from Muse, Neurosky, and Emotiv that give you feedback on your brain’s activity and, in some cases, help you shift your state through meditation and brain-training games.
"More and more labs are interested in understanding brainwaves and how they relate to a whole plethora of behaviors-from managing stress to full-blown spiritual awakenings.”īrainwaves are making a splash outside of academia, too. “Brainwave training is a relatively new research area, but more and more labs are interested in understanding brainwaves and how they relate to a whole plethora of behaviors-from managing stress to full-blown spiritual awakenings,” says Leigh Winters, MS, a neuroscientist and former fellow at Columbia University’s Spirituality Mind Body Institute. The gist: By learning more about the electromagnetic patterns your brain habitually exhibits on a day-to-day basis-all of which are generally linked with a certain state of mind-there's the belief that you'd be able to take certain steps to optimize them for greater peace, productivity, and general wellbeing. But it appears as though my fantasies of reining in my rebellious psyche may not be so far-fetched, given all the discussion about brainwave manipulation in the biohacking and mindfulness communities.
