 A COMMUNICATION FROM THE MONROE INSTITUTE OF APPLIED SCIENCES
 . #224806
 ORIGINS:   The Institute had its beginning in the Research and Development
 Division of Monroe Industries,  Inc., which at the time (1958) was inves-
 tigating methods and techniques of accelerated learning through practical
 environmental changes.  As a result of certain findings,  the decision
 was made to.broaden the base of such investigations and to alter the pur-
 pose of any such research eff rtw.   In 1971,  the Institute was created to
 conform with and expand this. different approach.
 111ZEMISE:   Stated simply, the Institute holds to the concept that (1): Con.
 sciousness and the focusing thereof contain any and all solutions to the
 life processes that man desires or encounters.

 With the availability of this new tool,       for the first time it became
 pO:)ssible to develop and hold the subject into any of the various stages
 of sleep, from light alpha relaxation through theta into delta and in
 REM  (dreaming). A generic patent on the method and technique was granted
 to the originator,  Robert Monroe,  for whom the Institute is narmed.
 The Monroe method and  techniques were found to be able to "program" slee
 cycles throughout the night= of sleep, if so desired.  Variations could  p

 In a social structure bound heavily to causal relationships through
 matter-time-space,  the acceptance of such as valid through personal
 experience was indeed profound, disturbing, and extremely stimulating
 to both staff and participants.           It was truly a suspected Pandora's Box
 that offered unexpected potentials in an aspect. that had pre-occupied
 man since his early beginnings.
 With the advent of a wide interest in brain-hemispheric theory and
 study,  the Institute undertook to explore the hi-lateral effects of FFR
 The natural outcome of this was to seek patterns which would "balance"
 or adjust the relationships between the left and righ brain, and help
 produce desired changes in behavior.  Utilizing the Institute FFR pro-
 cess in the binaural mode, a bi-lateral EEG on a volunteer subject was
 set up whereby the dominant wave form of each brain hemisphere was dis-
 played on a dual-trace oscilloscope.

 The total meaning of such coherency is not understood as no extended
 studies have been made except those begun by the Institute.  Prior to
 the development of the FFR method, no efficient technique was available
 to generate an hemi-sync state.   It may be true that those in a focused,
 relaxed state in prayer, meditation, or similar physically-quiet states
 may produce periods of such synchronization.  Certainly, it must occur
 naturally if only momentarily under certain specific conditions in human
 life.   Exactly what these are is not yet known.
 There is a partial entrainment effect, and there are indications that it
 can be learned much as in the bio-feedback model.   Whether the synthesis
 signal crosses the Corpus Callosur (the nerve network between the brain
 hemispheres), travels through the brain stem, limbic system - this has
 yet to be determined.   It appears that new neural pathways are establish
 as a result.
 The efforts of the Institute have not been designed or performed with
 the intent of offering documentation to the scientific community of
 the world at large, although much of orthodox scientific method has been
 utilized.   Instead,  such can well be the goal of other organizations and
 individuals who may take the basic findings of  the  Institute to prove
 and present them in other forms,  in other areas of specialization.   The
 Institute welcomes this participation.
