1. A method of controlling the nervous system of a living organism by altering the waveform pattern of a bioelectrical signal generated in its nervous system, comprising the steps of:

  • a. detecting a bioelectrical signal at a specific topological location in said organism'"'"''"'"'s nervous system;

    b. passing said bioelectrical signal through a bandpass filter, said filter being adapted to pass only frequency components thereof which are related to the particular control sought;

    c. passing said frequency components of said bioelectrical signal through a timing circuit, said timing circuit being adapted to detect whether said frequencies are present for a preselected minimum duration;

    d. providing an output signal when and if said frequency components are present for said preselected minimum duration;

    e. detecting the presence of any undesirable characteristics of said bioelectrical signal, said undesirable characteristic being one whose presence warrants inhibiting said method;

    f. applying said output signal to a voltage transducing device for a preselected duration so long as no undesirable characteristic is detected, said device providing a sensory signal capable of stimulating at least one of the senses of said organism, said sensory signal having a discrete state related to the waveform pattern of said bioelectrical signal; and

    g. causing said organism to concentrate mentally so as to affect the intensity or state of said sensory signal in a preselected way;

    whereby said organism is trained to alter the waveform pattern of said bioelectrical signal in a desired manner and thereby to control its nervous system.
