Interview with Lee Gerdes



How brain state conditioning was developed

Brain state conditioning™ was developed by Brain State Technologies™ founder, Lee Gerdes, from a personal need to overcome depressive tendencies which surfaced during the creative process. He discovered that most masters, painters, musicians, composer, CEO’s or athletes have some depressive tendencies that have been brought on by the need to be creative – as Beta waves decrease in one part of the brain, other wave patterns may increase in response in another part of the brain, which allow for the germination of creative ideas. He discovered that if Beta waves returned, and the creative idea is acted upon, then the sense of being unmotivated or slightly melancholy would manifest.

Lee advanced this understanding of brain state conditioning™ with the additional research of the highly functional minds of two Tibetan Buddhist Monks. These monks are masters at meditative techniques, having practiced deep meditation for over 40 years each. The understanding of the mastery of the creative process, and the mastery of the alert-but-relaxed process of the meditation master, has led to the basis for training brain wave patterns to produce high performance, high awareness, and high connected mind of clients through the brain state conditioning™ process. Brain state conditioning™ is based upon a state of “contentment”. And Buddhist Monks represented the clearest pattern for this state. It was discovered that “contentment”, “balance and harmony” and “homeostasis” are all basically the same brain state. Therefore, algorithms which determine which optimal brain wave patterns are needed in order to attain this balanced and harmonized state, can be uniquely applied to each individual.
