Rob: Wait let me just get this straight; what you're seeing is a different kind of brain wave and a different kind of Alpha?

M.S.: It's a spindling alpha, when you close your eyes that essentially your standard Alpha in the 8 to 11 hertz range that just starts an extreme spindling patterns when we close our eyes and that's what I'm seeing. And I don't.

Rob: And that's different than the creative kind of Alpha?

M.S.: Well it's a lot bigger and the morphology looks similar and I would say around 8 years ago maybe 5 years ago, it looked the same; the morphology, the shape looked the same. And now it's so much larger, so much larger it's about a 300%.

Rob: What does that mean in terms of the way the brain is functioning?

M.S.: I don't know completely. What I do know is these individuals seem to be limited in creative process. What I do know is these individuals unilaterally tend to have an anxiety issue but I do not have all the answers and this is where I really call out to other researchers and professionals to please look at this with me. The other thing is I don't know if this is an effective process meaning this is what is happening to the brain when you're on screens a lot, it could also be a sense of exposure to EMS fields. I honestly don't know but I'd be remised not to look at this and present this and ask others within my field and beyond to come up with what we really think is going on.

Rob: Now in other area of the book, you talk about is how this all ties in the socialization.

M.S.: Yes, bottom line is we're becoming much more isolated and harboring with our iTech as opposed to being out with people. I think this is where we're missing our face to face, heart to heart is what I speak of and that's really affecting our wellness and happiness, a very casual way of putting that. And again there a lot of studies, it's kind of been termed the Facebook effect but what it is, is individuals who spend a lot of time "socializing" on Facebook are becoming depressed versus individuals who spend less time on Facebook and are out and about with people. So it's not a substitution for real life people.
