So on the second day of his Alpha One training he concentrated on the feedback from his O1 brain site (left occipital), both the audio feedback and the numerical scores. And he made good progress in increasing his lagging O1 alpha activity. It rose from a distant last to end up in the middle of the pack of other channels, perhaps 4th or 5th in average amplitude. He was excited and pleased with his progress.

His amazing breakthrough, and break-out from his writer’s block, came on Day 3 of his Alpha One training. On this Day 3 his O1 (left occipital) rose dramatically to its more expected position as the #2 biggest alpha channel on the head, following behind only the O2 (right occipital), which is usually the biggest alpha channel in a right handed person.

Now when his O1 alpha surged up into its typical position as #2 biggest alpha channel on his head we began to hear talking in his chamber and to see some movement artifact on his polygraph tracings. This talking and movement would alternate with periods where he would sit very still and his alpha would increase dramatically. I called in several times on the intercom to see if he was alright and he quickly assured me that he was fine. So I resolved to wait until the session ended to hear his debriefing report of his adventure.

He was so excited when he came out of the chamber. Here’s what had happened. When his O1 alpha had increased dramatically, the Muse of all writers appeared to him. She spoke to him and gave him the entire plot, character development, wardrobes, sub-themes,- everything for this book he’d been unsuccessfully trying to write for the last 2½ years. He always carried a pocket tape recorder and he whipped it out and began speaking to save the amazing things the Muse of all writers was telling him. When he would have said everything he remembered of what she said, he would shut the recorder off and go back into the high alpha state and the Muse would reappear and continue downloading everything about his 17th book. When he had received all he could remember from the next download from the Muse, he’d pull out of the high alpha state and turn on his pocket voice recorder and save everything from this latest download from the Muse of all writers. He was so inspired by his Alpha One training and he got everything he needed to write his 17th book.

I’ve seen similarly dramatic results with many other people, and I know from my research studies at major universities that the 7-day Alpha One training can increase creativity by 50% on average. Indeed, one study with scientists from Stanford Research Institute showed they averaged a 50% increase in their creativity. And these people were already highly creative. Creativity is the bread a butter of a Stanford Research Institute scientist, and they got huge rewards in creativity from their Biocybernaut Alpha One training.
