Chyna's Brain School Experience
- Twelve-year-old Chyna Galernot was offered a free trip to Victoria, B.C. for a "Brain School" program promising enhanced intelligence and trauma healing.
- Upon arrival, she and her mom found themselves in dark rooms, listening to their own brainwaves, which Chyna described as "scary trumpets."
Biosibernaut Study Details
- Sixty Indigenous children and adults participated in a study by the Biosibernaut Institute, involving neurofeedback technology.
- Participants spent hours in dark rooms with electrodes attached, listening to brainwave sounds, and discussing traumas.
Neurofeedback Technology
- "Brain School" used neurofeedback, where brainwaves are read by electrodes and fed back through sounds.
- Dr. James Hart, who ran the study, claims controlling brainwaves can control one's life, promising various benefits.
