The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to
make up one's mind about nothing --to let the mind be
a thoroughfare for all thoughts. Not a select party.
JOHN KE TS 1795-1821
bsence of occupation is not rest,
mind quite vacant is a mind distress'd.
WILLI M COWPER 1731-1800
My mind to me a kingdom is,
Such present joys therein I find,
That it excels all other bliss
That earth affords or grows by kind.
SIR EDW RD DYER 1700?-1758
From doubt to certainty is but a breath,
breath from unfaith's halting place to faith,
This precious breath then do you cherish, for
Life's sum is but a breath from birth to death
OM R KH YY M
For many days , my brain
Worked with a dim and undetermined sense
Of unknown modes of being
WILLI M WORDSWORTH 1770-1850
MOVING FORW RD
The deep parts of my life pour onward,
as if the river shores were opening out.
It seems that things are more like me now,
that I can see farther into paintings.
I feel closer to what language can't reach.
With my senses, as with birds, I climb
into the windy heaven, out of the oak,
and in the ponds broken off from the sky
my feeling sinks, as if standing on fishes.
R INER M RI RILKE 1875-1926 (trans. R. Bly)

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BRAINWAVES AND CONSCIOUSNESS
What is observed as consciousness is the interaction of many complex biological systems.
These systems can be viewed from a variety of vantage points. There are biochemical,
anatomical, psychological, and electrophysiological explanations of the workings of the
mind.
Brainwave states are another perspective on the mind, albeit an imperfect one. They reflect a
small portion of the activity of the brain, and only on a very gross level. The events observed
as brainwaves are epi-phenomena of more fundamental processes. They contain though,
important information about one’s mental state. Brainwave rhythms reflect primarily the
working of the thalamus and limbic system. Brainwave states correlate with mental states of
concentration, relaxed attentiveness, and deep relaxation.
By observing sensations while producing specific brainwave states, one can learn to produce
those states more effectively. By consistently practicing the production of specific brainwave
states while observing one’s state of mind, one can develop the ability to consciously produce
specific mental states in real life situations. Stress, relaxation, concentration, free association
of thought, and the ability to stay ‘connected’ with another person, can be modified by the
conscious production of specific brainwave states.
Our will alone can change our state of mind.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
The information in this manual is arranged in order of importance for a new user. Early
sections cover more general topics. Later sections cover more in-depth topics.
ll users should completely understand the QUICK ST RT Section. Quick Start covers
installation of hardware and software, use and care of electrodes, and a brief operational
overview. Of particular importance is the section on attaching and troubleshooting electrode
contact, as this represents the number one issue of new users.
LE RNING THE HE RT,GSR, BR IN ND MUSCLE MODES is directed at individuals
with no experience in using biological data acquisition equipment.
KEY CONCEPTS provides a useful overview of the functions of WaveWare Software.
MINDG MES is a set of lesson plans. Each lesson corresponds to a configuration file
installed with WaveWare.
PROGR MMING W VEW RE describes how to program each of the MIDI Options and
General Graphics Options dialog boxes in WaveWare. This information is necessary to alter
existing configuration files and to author new ones.
NEUROSCIENCE is an extremely brief overview of the physiology of brainwave generation.
