When Dr. Boehm asked how Biofeedback & Neurofeedback are used, Thought Technology Vice President and co-founder Lawrence Klein could not resist the opportunity to discuss the many uses of his company's instrumentation. He replied, "The Schulich School of Music " at McGill University in Montreal attached our instruments to several of the musicians of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, and 50 audience members. They measured heart rate, skin conductance, respiration, muscle tone, etc. and recorded all in Real Time, in order to discover how emotion is conveyed through music. "
"NASA used these same systems to prepare astronauts in Florida, in a capsule 65 feet under water, for three days, to discover how they adapted to the physical demands of the space capsule. "
