Hot News, Great new angles
This website is loaded with great stories which haven't been
told yet. We list several hundred presentations at the cutting edges of several
exciting fields. Many of our speakers are already famous in their fields,
having been covered by the national press (Pribram, Budzynski, Wise, Lubar,
Othmer, Thompson, Brucker, Levey, etc,) and many more will,
eventually, make the covers or high profile stories in national media.
One good example is Niels Birbaumer. He presented at our
February 1997 Winter Brain Meeting on an exciting new technology that helps
"locked in" ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) patients, otherwise unable to
communicate with the outside world, to continue being able to get messages to
their loved ones and doctors after all theirmuscles totally stop working. This
story made international news, with coverage in Time and Newsweek in March 1999.
We had the story two years earlier, and you could have too, since it is on our
website in the meeting archives section.
Before Psychology Today and Parade Magazine reported on the
exciting EEG biofeedback program for helping kids with ADD at the
Yonkers School district, the people leading the work there-- the vice prinicpal
and the therapist-- both presented at the 1998 Winter Brain meeting. And so did
another leader in this new field who no major national venue has covered yet.
In recent years, reports on treating Autism, Alcoholism,
substance abuse, pain, fibromyalgia, violence, depression and so much more have
been offered at these meetings. New approaches for helping athletes, workers,
executives to function better, at their Optimal Functioning Levels have been
presented at the Optimal Functioning meeting we hold right before the Winter
Brain Conference. One of our regular presenters couldn't show this past year
because he spent three days being videotaped by HBO. But he did a phoned in talk
on his research at the University of Arizona on Perseverance of Consciousness
after death. The abstracts (or in a minority of cases, titles only) are in
the website. The stories are waiting to be told.
The year 2003 meeting promises to be one of the hottest
ever, in terms of newsworthy presentations.

next Winter Brain 2003 Meeting
Journalists with appropriate credentials are welcome to cover
the meeting. Please contact us for any further information you might need
regarding the meeting or any story you are considering covering.
You'll find that it is, unlike many scientific meetings, a
genuine community, with a warm feeling of cordiality. We've been cultivating
this since it's inception. It's part of the meeting vision, which aims to
include spirituality, heart and human potential in a model of human health which
transcends eliminating illness and symptoms.
Here are some links to parts of our website containing past
meeting abstracts. There are great stories in here which have not yet been told.
Many, though based in solid science, offer moving human stories, which look like
miracles.
