This was our first ever show and it did not go to plan to put it mildly... We were set to explore the field of Neurofeedback with our scheduled guest James Roy, only 5 minutes before the show started, he disappeared on us and we were on our own...
This was back in Sep 2015, DJ and myself have been contemplating doing a show every time we nattered on Skype, which by the way is the only way we communicate. Believe it or not we never actually met in the flesh. He lives in Austria and I am in London.
When my friend Kerry Cassidy from Project Camelot asked me if I would be willing to create my own show on her network I thought well ye why not - we'll give a go - create 4 pilot shows and see how the cooky crumbles...
Jumping into deep water - yes that's me! It was quite an experience to say the least. Not only this was our first time ever, the show was streaming live using hangout with all the associated technical glitches; dropouts of bandwidth echoing sounds and of course our guest disappearing act. We tried to be professionals and master all the producing tools that were available on that platform at the time, we even practiced with our guest the day before. We created our own opening theme and graphics and scripted an intro.
We arranged to meet 30 minutes before the show started, so we could iron out our plans for the show. James turned up on time with headphones set on and told us "there is a huge storm going on" in Costa Rica where he was based. "If I didn't have the headset on, we would have a real issue with sound as the rain was pounding on..." he said. "I am going to make some coffee and be right back." Were his last words...
That was the last we heard of him.
Throughout the show while DJ was holding the fort and saving the day, I was frantically trying to get James back; I called, I skyped, I emailed, called again, left messages, and as they probably say in Costa Rica - NADA. And Yes I was doing all of that while trying to have one ear tuned to what Donnell was talking about, putting a brave face and trying to ask intelligent question from time to time.
After the show has ended, and still no words or sign of life from James, I went on line to see if I can find any news on the storm in Costa Rica, here is what I found.
"Mysterious Iridescent 'End of Times' Cloud Phenomenon Spotted in Costa Rica" read the title on ABC news. The official explanation: "The colourful luminescence is caused by the sun's light being refracted by water droplets and ice crystals in the cloud, said, Eladio Solano, a meteorologist with Costa Rica's National Meteorological Institute, according to Costa Rica media outlet Teletica News."
I don't buy it... do you? As this so called mysterious cloud appeared overhead an earthquake hit right below it on the ground... What are the odds?

This is strange indeed... Before the show aired we were discussing doing a show about Japan - In my mind I recalled the events that lead to the radiation disaster we now all share... how experiments hitting the ionosphere triggered or amplified the Japanese earthquake.
Is that what was happening here?
The Weather Underground website has a great live interactive mapping tool – This picture shows the storm for the region around Costa Rica.
This show covers:
Brain Waves, Brain Mapping, Brain Synchronisation, the Neurofeedback field and it's many applications, It's therapeutic potential, current research and what the future may hold.
Neurofeedback (NFB) is a type of biofeedback which uses real-time displays of brain activity - using electroencephalography (EEG), to help self-regulation of brain function.
