WQ6X SaYs: "Train Your Brain... Improve Your Game"

It's no secret that becoming a top notch radiosport competitor requires top notch focus and mental acuity.  As a neurofeedback therapist, I often tell people: "your brain does what you repeatedly
tell it to do.  The difficulty is that you don't know how to speak brain".  Fortunately, we have a
process known as neurofeedback (NFB) which serves as a "liaison" between you and your brain.

To some degree, successful radiosport operators already "understand" the concept of distractionless focus.  These operators have found "the focus place" through years of operating contest event after contest event.  For example, DiD You know that Cw operators can virtually eliminate information repeats by learning to "play back in your brain" what you have just heard?

RTTY operators can discover how to "Zip tune" a RTTY signal, quickly make the contact and then
just as quickly move on to the next station.  Ssb operators can learn to properly focus and more
easily understand voices and dialects, even those with noticeable accents.

In all cases, we can learn to reduce contest anxiety, which enables us to successfully improve our operating efficiency.  The "secret" is knowing which areas of the brain to train and in what order to do that training.  As Jim Robbins explains (in A Symphony in the Brain) it's a carefully ordered "balancing act" that virtually anyone (of any age) can "learn", altho the idea of learning is merely a metaphor - it's more like a "shift in one's experience".  At some point in neuro training, people have an "A-HA!" experience, which is then reinforced with further training exercises.  REMEMBER: 
"FEEDBACK: It's ALL about FEEDBACK".

At the gym, we can learn to "train" individual muscle groups.  Various coordinated ways - slow, focused, repetitive exercises is what makes the difference.  In the neurofeedback room, repetitive drills and exercises enable our brain to take our operating performance to the next level.

While neurofeedback is essentially a simple video game, it is unlike the whiz-bang video
games we play at home that often result in mental exhaustion afterwards, instead of the
improved clarity and focus that is obtained from neurofeedback training.

Are you looking to take your radiosport operating skills to the next level?  Learning how to
"Speak Brain" can assist you towards making that goal a concrete, accomplishable reality.

It's Your BRAIN - What are you going to do with It?

Look for an upcoming worldwide presentation on neurofeedback and radiosport - coming
to a neurofeedback Zoom room "near you".  If you would like to know more about this work
