Dr. Barry Sterman - Professor Emeritus

David Geffen School of Medicine, Department of Neurobiology and Bio-behavioral Psychiatry, UCLA, is one of the pioneers of Brain Function Training and arguably knows more about it than anyone in the field. His ground-breaking work and the discovery of the SMR rhythm shed new light on how the brain "Learns." Extensive research on SMR rhythm has shown that it stabilizes brain activity and can keep individuals (and organizations) robust and dynamic; He has published dozens of scientific papers on the subject of human EEG and operant conditioning mechanisms.   Introduction to "Brain Function Training" - By Dr. Barry Sterman

 

Dr. David Kaiser
