	history Neurofeedback began in the late 1950’s through the work of Dr Joe Kamiya at the University of Chicago. He discovered that individuals were able to consciously control their mind’s electrical activity when provided with some form of feedback. Since the groundbreaking work of Dr. Kamiya, neurofeedback has been employed as a tool for consciousness raising, peak performance, and in both clinical and medical applications. The British Psychobiologist, Biophysicist, and Zen Master C. Maxwell Cade progressed the use of neurofeedback as a personal development tool. Cade worked with the electronics expert, Geoffrey Blundell, to measure the brainwave patterns of advanced meditators, swamis, yogis and healers. He discovered that they all produced a similar brainwave pattern which he termed the Awakened Mind. A student of C. Maxwell Cade, Anna Wise, discovered that the Awakened Mind brainwave patterns were produced by individuals at “the moment of creative inspiration.” Anna also noted that these patterns were not contingent upon “spiritual dogma, belief or tradition.” She found that the Awakened Mind patterns were present across a multitude of disciplines including music, the performing arts, sports and business. Since then Anna has developed a highly effective programme for the development of the Awakened Mind and peak performance states. Other neurofeedback researchers have since developed proven protocols for the treatment of medical conditions including epilepsy, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorders and traumatic brain injury.
