Claim One:
1. A method of controlling the nervous system of a living organism comprising the steps of: a. detecting one or more bioelectrical signals from one or more topological locations in said organism's nervous system; b. passing said one or more bioelectrical signals through a plurality of electronic means responsive to the presence of at least one electrical characteristic of interest in the waveform of a bioelectrical signal, each of said responsive means being adapted to provide a first output signal whenever said electrical characteristic of interest is present; c. determining by electronic logic means when said plurality of first output signals, or any subset thereof, is present or absent in a predetermined manner indicative of a desired condition of said organism's nervous system, said logic means being adapted to provide a second output signal when said desired condition is indicated; d. transducing said second output signal into a discrete sensory stimulus capable of stimulating at least one of the senses of said organism; and e. causing said organism to concentrate mentally so as to produce or change the state of said discrete sensory signal; whereby said organism is trained to alter the waveform pattern of said one or more bioelectrical signals, said discrete sensory stimulus being presented to said organism as a reward for producing our suppressing said electrical characteristics of interest in said one or more signals, thereby achieving said desired condition of said nervous system.
