Patent ID: 8340753

Claim:
A method for training a person to develop useful degrees of voluntary control of personal electroencephalographic (EEG) activity, said method comprising the steps of: (a) securing EEG leads to the person; (b) receiving an EEG signal from the person; (c) transmitting the resultant EEG signal to a filter; (d) filtering the EEG signal; and using a computing device: (e) monitoring a predetermined EEG frequency band or subband; (f) determining an EEG frequency value of a preselected aspect of said EEG signal; and (g) generating a first audio signal at a first frequency that is delivered to said person's first ear with minimal delay and generating a second audio signal that is delivered to said person's second ear concurrently with said first audio signal, said second audio signal having a second frequency that differs from said first frequency by the value of said EEG frequency value; wherein said preselected aspect is the frequency at which the peak energy of the EEG signal occurs.
