The Mind Mirror Legacy, Then and Now

The Genius Behind the Mind Mirror: Inventor Max Cade 

"The awakening of awareness is like gradually awakening from sleep

and becoming more and more vividly aware of everyday reality -

only it's everyday reality from which we are awakening!"

C. Maxwell Cade, scientifically distinguished British biophysicist and psychobiologist

The brilliant Max Cade wrote these perceptive and witty words in his ground-breaking book, The Awakened Mind: Biofeedback and the Development of Higher States of Awareness. Cade was a distinguished British government physicist who revolutionized radar and extended his understanding of light and sound into the field of mind research. 

In 1976, with the assistance of electronics engineer Geoffrey Blundell, Cade invented the Mind Mirror EEG, a unique, composite frequency analyzer that monitors both hemispheres of the brain across an interrelated array of frequencies. The Mind Mirror was then and still is today like a moving picture depicting the bioelectrical activities of consciousness. This visual language can be easily read, understood, and used by anyone to adjust their brainwave patterns to peak states of awareness.

Nothing like the Mind Mirror existed when Max and Geoff invented it, and there is still nothing else like it today.

Using the Mind Mirror, Cade mapped the brainwave patterns of more than four thousand people from the 1970s into the 1990s. His studies on the brainwaves of meditation and higher states of awareness led to the publication of his classic book, The Awakened Mind, and the field of EEG-led biofeedback meditation.

Author, Master Teacher, and Mind Researcher Anna Wise

"I found that the brain wave patterns of high performance, of creativity, the bursts of peak experience,

were the same patterns that the yogis and swamis lived in. I measured the 'ah-ha' or the 'eureka' experience

and found that the brain waves flared into an awakened mind at the exact moment of insight." 

Humanistic psychologist Anna Wise worked closely with Cade and Blundell on their London mind research until 1981, when she carried a Mind Mirror to the United States and opened The Evolved Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

She measured the brainwaves of a broad range of subjects at the peak of their creative output. Artists, executives, scientists, musicians, mathematicians, and inventors at the height of their abilities all produced the same Awakened Mind pattern of mastery. She found that the Awakened Mind was the optimum state of consciousness regardless of the direction of an individual's personal path through life.

in America, she conducted trail-blazing research of her own, wrote two classic books, recorded a 4-CD album titled "The High-Performance Mind," and led brainwave training seminars four times a year at Esalen Institute. She dedicated her life to Awakened Mind work. Perhaps her greatest legacy is the Awakened Mind Practitioner Training Program.
