The mind that does the thinking has to interact with the body and control it. The body is controlled via two brain centers.<\/h2>\n
Let us consider a right-handed person, and make the necessary adjustments in terms of left-handed people. A person’s right-hand controls fine detailed movement, such as writing, adjusting mechanisms, controlling tools, or doing anything, which requires sequential action as such.<\/p>\n

Note: It is unlikely that you would find a person that was totally left-brain dominant or totally right, outside of an institution. Such a person would find it impossible to survive. Most people, however, will have an imbalance, in one direction or the other, usually to the left.<\/p>\n
In many cases, a person would benefit from a job or an activity that would place some stress on the under-used side of the brain.<\/p>\n
Mind Development<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>has been scientifically designed to place increasing stress, in incremental stages, on the under-used side of a student’s brain, so at the end of the first five or six courses, he will be able to switch from one type of thinking to the other, when he desires, assuming he is of normal mental and physical health.<\/p>\n
Because he gains this new ability, he finds that he is able to stand outside of his present mode of thinking; he can let go of many aspects of his former-self and stand outside of his thinking processes, and view these from an objective perspective.<\/p>\n
The Bilateral Psycho-Galvanometer<\/h3>\n
The simple psycho-galvanometer was one of the earliest tools of psychological research. A psycho-galvanometer measures the resistance of the skin to the passage of a very small electric current. It has been known for decades that the magnitude of this electrical resistance is affected, not only by the subject\u2019s general mood but also by immediate emotional reactions.<\/p>\n
Several researchers have noticed that one side of the body gives different responses to the other. The point of using a Bilateral Psycho-Galvanometer, as invented by Gregory Mitchell and utilized throughout the research of Mind Development, is to monitor the differential arousal of the two hemispheres of the cortex.<\/p>\n
If one takes into account that the left hemisphere of the cortex usually controls speech, logical action, and symbolic functions, while the right hemisphere is responsible for spatial and holistic processes, there is value in having a simple device to facilitate cognitive growth through the technique of real-time, instantaneous biofeedback monitoring with the Bilateral Psycho-Galvanometer.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there is no current manufacturer of the Bilateral Psycho-Galvanometer, but I hope and expect that situation to change; in the meantime, there is a great deal of understanding to be gained by learning about this technique.<\/p>\n
