Dr. James V. Hardt, president and founder of the Biocybernaut Institute, joins Art Bell to discuss biofeedback, alpha waves, and brainwave feedback training. Dr. Hardt explains how his seven-day alpha wave neurofeedback program produces an average 12-point IQ boost, a 50 percent creativity increase, and profound psychological breakthroughs that would normally take years of psychotherapy.

The conversation covers remarkable case studies, including a billion-dollar CEO who uncovered suppressed anger through computerized mood scales, a famous author who broke a two-and-a-half-year writer's block after his alpha waves surged, and a San Francisco 49er who reported seeing three angels during training. Dr. Hardt describes how the technology detects emotions below conscious awareness and facilitates deep forgiveness work he calls "ethical cleansing."

Art and Dr. Hardt also explore the brainwave patterns associated with out-of-body experiences, the connection between alpha waves and aging, and results from a quarter-million-dollar double-blind federal grant that showed elderly women improving in personality and motivation for over a year after training. Art shares his own brief OBE in a Paris hotel room, and the two discuss whether such experiences could be reproduced through targeted alpha training.
