From Publishers Weekly
Strap yourself into the Potentializer, then rotate within an electromagnetic field to boost your brain's alpha wave output and increase your mental powers. Is this science fiction? No, it's a machine being used by certain physicians, psychiatrists, chiropractors, ministers and scientists. Some of them claim it helps subjects achieve deep relaxation and expand their learning abilities. Hutchison (The Book of Floating here maps the little-known world of "brain machines"computerized devices, neuroelectric stimulators and microelectrodes that, by some accounts, enable their adventurous users to undo creative blocks, recall long-past experiences and attain states of euphoria or meditation. The author also investigates methods for rapid learning, focusing encyclopedic memory and recall; biofeedback and flotation tanks are scrutinized as well. Hutchison's belief that "the time is right for machines of this sort" may make readers wary as they wade through this startling report on a new frontier. February 19

From Library Journal
Have we arrived at a time when we are able to improve mental ability by apply ing various kinds of stimulation to our brains and bodies? Maybe we're mov ing there, but not yet. This is a breezy, information-packed description of re cent work to develop devices to en hance cognition, evoke relaxation/med itation states, or inspire creativity. Science writer-novelist Hutchison has tried many of these devicesAlpha- Stim, HemiSynch, etc.and is very excited. He warns there are no full sci entific reviews for most of these de vices; but stronger warnings about some possible ill effects epileptic sei zure, emotional upset, mental confu sionare in order. The author's review of some recent neuroscience findings that inspired some of these machines is excellent. George Adelman, formerly Neurosciences Research Program, MIT, Brookline, Mass.
