An Insomniac Finds Rest from His Own Brain

An Insomniac Finds Rest from His Own BrainPosted by vreiss on November 17, 2005 - 5:34pm.

This week’s Time Out New York features a story titled “Trebled Mind,” about Brain Music Therapy (BMT). As a life-long insomniac, music reporter Mike Wolf says he’s tried everything––save “those lame CDs of whale songs and Amazon rain forests”––so the idea of having his brain waves recorded and put to music wasn’t so weird. The therapy, he reports, was founded by Dr. Iakov I. Levine, a Russian doctor, in 1991 and is now dispensed by only one person in the U.S., Galina Mindlin in New York City. BMT records your brainwaves while you wear a mesh cap with electrodes, and then passes them “through a computer algorithm that composes the exact sequence of notes that promote both relaxation and activation (increased alertness and acuity) in that specific patient,” he writes.
