Maximizing cognitive abilities and academic potential

[Guest guest]

Hey.

I'm 22 years old healthy male looking to start with neuro and bio feedback.

The purpose in which I look into it is to maximize my cognitive abilities and my

academic potential(on top of the general curiosity I have in neuroscience,

consciousness and the brain).

As opposed to my purposes with neuro and bio feedback, most of the learning

material and literature(including researches) I could find is about fixing some

sort of disorder.

The only real protocols I could find which related to my goals are EEG based

meditation( Wise/Maxwell Cade work) and HRV(or heart rate coherence)

training.

I'm totally new to the subject and I have no one the learn from so I pretty much

have to self-learn from available material.

I know it's not optimal conditions, but I think i'm fairly intelligent person,

i'm hard worker and I'm really motivate to learn. So with the guidance to the

right direction I think I can make it work.

The thing I need most is some direction to literature(and possibly other

learning material) which will help me learn protocols and techniques which are

related to my goals. As I said - I couldn't find much so I hope to get some help

from the experienced people here.

I'm talking about both about biofeedback(peripheral) and neurofeedback.

Another thing is direction to some general information about biofeedback and

neurofeedback, and possibly related information about

neuroscience/consciousness/the brain/etc. Iv'e done some research so I know the

" industry standard " books, but it will be nice to hear experienced people

opinion as well.

Thanks.

P.S

I currently have no biofeedback device. Hopefully very soon i'll buy 2/4 channel

device with all the necessarily sensors and software(s). Maybe i'll add HEG

device/sensor if it will fit into my budget.

I want to know in what direction I go before I buy hardware/software - so that I

won't spend money with no justified reason(my budget is tight as it is).
