  Tony Robbins, undisputed world authority on leadership psychology, described his experience with the Biocybernaut neuro-training program this way: “If you are looking to improve your brain, your psyche, your emotions, your ability to really maximize your performance, and you want to really dig into your brain, the Biocybernaut program is extraordinary. I’ve been through it myself, my wife Sage has, members of my family have. We found it to be truly extraordinary! But it is not for the faint of heart. Unless you’re dead serious about taking things to the next level, don’t bother.” We offer cutting edge neurofeedback training to empower business founders & leaders to measurably increase their mental agility, outside-the-box thinking, and calm under stress, effectively revolutionizing their professional performance. We’ve worked with Fortune 500 CEOs, world-class business influencers, professional athletes, and even Zen and Yoga masters. Want to take your professional life to the next level?

I have worked with Zen and Yoga masters and Christian contemplatives to understand the neurological basis of advanced spiritual states of mind. I have written and published more than 60 scientific papers and presentations on brain wave activity in academic journals such as Science, Psychophysiology, Journal of Experimental Psychology, Biofeedback and Self-Regulation and Advances In Mind-Body. I am an avid international traveler and a voracious reader. Show less
