124 Future Now Podcast - Interview with Drs. Stephen Sideroff and Hal Myers on what's Now with Bio/Neurofeedback and Optimal Health

Listen to 124 Future Now Podcast

I have known Drs. Stephen Sideroff and Hal Myers since I was an undergraduate at McGill University in the 1970’s, when Hal & I were in Stephen’s Psych class on designing the protocols for our various science experiments. Not just a student, Hal had just started a company called “Thought Technology,” and was designing equipment for monitoring and influencing human biosignals with one’s awareness, for better health. It was the dawn of bio/neuro feedback thinking in psychology and medicine, with Hal scribbling out schematics for new devices at his seat while Stephan taught us how best to test the effectiveness of our tech and ideas. Who would have guessed that the three of us would vacation together 50 years down the timeline, where Hal has 40 employess at Thought Tech, and Stephen is a professor at UCLA and  internationally recognized psychologist. His latest book is “The 9 Pillars of Resilience, The Proven Path to Master Stress, Slow Aging, and Increase Vitality.” Enjoy!

Future News and Interview with Dr. Hal Myers, pioneer in the world of Bio and Neural Feedback

Listen Now to Future News and Interview with Dr. Hal Myers 12.24.2019

This week we are very fortunate to have one of the pioneers from the world of bio/neural feedback to share with us what is now possible through self-regulation of our biology via our minds. My earliest memories of Hal were of him scribbling circuit diagrams in his notebook or napkin, back in our college days at McGill, prototyping devices that would blink or beep, changing tones and color as you learned to relax, slowing your heartbeat, or deepening your breathing. 

At that time as a college student he co-founded Thought Technolgy Ltd., with his long time friend and partner Larry Klein, and together they have built their company into the world’s leading medical biofeedback instrumentation company while also sponsoring workshops with world authorities on self-regulation. Based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada with 79 employees they continue their work, building new tools for treating conditions such as Stress, Anxiety, Phobias, Depression, Migraine and Tension Headaches, Hypertension, IBS, GI Disorders, Bruxism / TMJ, Reynauds, Sexual Dysfunction and Pain.
