2. WHO IS DR. MICHAEL A. TANSEY?
• I am Dr. Michael A. Tansey. I am a past (2nd) President of the
International Society for Neurofeedback and Research. My web site is
www.drmichaeltansey.com. I am the General Partner of EMTEE
ASSOCIATES, LLC which owns my Intellectual Property Portfolio.
• I believe that my Intellectual Property Portfolio represents a proven,
field-tested, disruptive technology with respect to the Brain-
Computer Interface market which is estimated to reach a 2 billion
dollar valuation by 2020. I believe the historical time stamp and
seminal nature of my portfolio will prevent competitors from
designing around my Intellectual Property and in process
continuation patents.

3. THE MARKET OPPORTUNITY
• The Brain-Computer Interface Market is currently dominated by
individuals/companies with deep pockets (Bill Gates, Elon Musk,
Bryan Johnson), that are fueling the search for a Brain-Computer
Interface that actually measures useful brainwave activity.
• In addition, multiple companies (Cognionics Inc.,Neurosky,
Compumedics Limited, EMOTIV Inc, Avertus Inc., Brain Products
GMBH, Advanced Brain Monitoring, Inc.) are pursuing development
of a wireless EEG headset that actually measures useful brainwave
activity.

4. THE MARKET OPPORTUNITY
• Applications include advanced diagnostic and treatment protocols in
Healthcare, Lie Detection and Forensics, Defense/Military Usage,
Entertainment/Virtual Reality Enhancement, Education/ADHD
Protocols.

5. WHY IS MY IP/TECHNOLOGY
DISRUPTIVE?
• My field-tested IP based technology is disruptive due to the fact that
the current efforts-to-date, to produce a Brain-Computer Interface
that actually measures useful brainwave activity, across the population
and across individuals in repeat measurements, is based on a flawed
and commonly misunderstood metric –brainwaves commonly
referenced as Alpha, Theta, Beta, and Delta.

6. WHY DELTA, THETA, AND ALPHA ARE
SCIENTIFICALLY FLAWED
• The Delta, Theta, and Alpha brainwave characterizations - that have
been commonly and erroneously utilized as independent, stand alone
measures of EEG activity since 1929 - are scientifically problematic.
• In 1929, Hans Berger did measurements of the electrical phenomena
of the brain. Brainwave activity - like all electrical activity is
referenced in cycle-per-second electrical discharges. A 10 cycle-per-
second brainwave is commonly referenced as a 10 Hz brainwave.
Brainwave energy is produced by the brain in 1 cycle-per-second
increments along its range.

7. THE ORIGIN OF DELTA, THETA, AND
ALPHA
• Due to the primitive state of technology at that time, Hans Berger
could not resolve brain electrical activity into its actual basic electrical
constituents.
• His primitive measuring equipment only allowed him to measure
brainwave activity in 5 cycle-per-second wide windows of
observation and recording. So, in point of fact, Berger’s 1929
technology allowed the observation of three windows of -
AVERAGED ELECTRICAL ENERGY - referenced to this day as
Delta, Theta, Alpha.

8. WHAT ARE DELTA, THETA, AND
ALPHA
• Delta was the summed average of the brainwave activity across 0.5
cycles-per-second through 4 cycles-per-second. Berger found some
people - NOT ALL PEOPLE - manifested sleepiness when this
averaged energy window was observed.
• Theta was the summed average of the brainwave activity across 4
cycles-per-second through 8 cycles-per-second. Berger found some
people - NOT ALL PEOPLE - manifested light sleep and daydreaming
when this averaged energy window was observed.

9. WHAT ARE DELTA, THETA, AND
ALPHA
• Alpha was the summed average of the brainwave activity across 8
cycles-per-second through 12 cycles-per-second. Berger found some
people - NOT ALL PEOPLE - manifested a fully awake and
conscious, but relaxed state of mind.
• These artificial windows of observation, derived from primitive
technology, have been uncritically copied and used from 1929 to this
day.

10. DELTA, THETA, ALPHA
CROSS-CONTAMINATED MEASURES –
CROSS-CONTAMINATED
ATTRIBUTIONS
• Some general mental states were also occasionally found to agree
with Berger’s observations - BUT NOT FOR ALL PEOPLE - but
enough to continue their use. Amazingly, the fact that each of these
primitive technology-constrained designations (Delta, Theta, Alpha)
shared at least 20% of their brainwave energy composition with the
next so-identified cycle-per-second brainwave average, was not seen
to be structurally or diagnostically problematic.
• Delta’s electrical average includes 4 cycle-per-second brainwave
activity contributing 20% of Delta’s brainwave energy to any mental
state it contributes to.

11. DELTA, THETA, ALPHA
CROSS-CONTAMINATED MEASURES –
CROSS-CONTAMINATED
ATTRIBUTIONS
• Theta also includes the exact same 4 cycles-per-second brainwave
activity as Delta, with it contributing 20% of all brainwave activity to
any mental state attributable to Theta.
• Alpha also includes the same 8 cycles-per-second brainwave activity
as Theta, with it contributing 20% of all brainwave activity to any
mental state attributable to Alpha.(See Attached Chart). Small wonder
that such cross-contamination of 20% of each of these primitive
averages yielded results for some -BUT NOT ALL PEOPLE - so
measured by them.

12. HOW “SCIENCE” HAS CONTINUED TO
DEFINE “BRAINWAVES” SINCE 1929
1. Delta Waves – From approximately 0.5 to 4 Hz (1 Hz means one complete
cycle in 1 second i.e. on an EEG you would see a wave with one peak and one
trough). Each image below depicts a one second snapshot of human brainwave
activity, as detected by an EEG.
Delta waves are often associated with being fast sleep, hyper-relaxed or in a deep
meditation. Delta waves are also the dominant brainwave in babies up to about 1
year. Certain frequencies, in the delta range, have been shown to trigger the body's
healing and growth mechanisms.
Theta Waves – Between 4 and 8 Hz
Theta waves indicate a normal or light sleep, drowsiness or daydreaming, and
creative and imaginative thinking that is led by the subconscious i.e. when ideas
suddenly just come to you. This suggests that Theta waves allow for easier
communication between the conscious and subconscious minds. Theta waves have
also been identified as key in learning, memory and reduction of stress. This is the
standard frequency range for children up to their early teenage years.
Alpha Waves – Between 8 and 12 Hz
Alpha rates are increased by closing the eyes and relaxing, and can be reduced by
opening one's eyes or any concentrated effort. They are associated with a fully
awake and conscious but relaxed state of mind. When you get back in from school
or work, sit down and put on the TV your brainwaves will be in the alpha range.
This is the typical relaxation range for anyone over the age of about 13.

13. HOW CURRENT “SCIENCE” RESOLVES
BETA, THETA, ALPHA “BRAINWAVES”

14. HOW THE TANSEY TECHNIQUE
RESOLVES “BRAINWAVES”

19. HISTORY OF MY IP AND FIELD-
TESTED TECHNOLOGY
• Insofar as my most recent Continuation Patent: I was the first to
identify and patent the full use of all pairs of 1 Hz or less Brainwave
bands, in all their manifestations from 2 Hz through 190 Hz, to assist
a subject to learn to identify and alter his or her brain state.
• I assembled and oversaw the three-man team that produced my
proprietary field tested technology that was, for the first time in the
literature of EEG research, able to accurately identify the brain state
and EEG signature, held in common for a diverse population, and
identify same for an individual and to guide then accurately into
another desired and previously charted brain sate. In this I claim the use
of all Brainwave pairs of 1 Hz or less, from 2 Hz through 190 Hz, in all
manifestations.

20. SUMMARY
• The above explanatory material, supports the belief that my
Intellectual Property Portfolio represents a scientifically accurate,
field-tested, disruptive technology with respect to the Brain-
Computer Interface market in comparison to those technologies
relying on the uncritical use of Delta, Theta, and Alpha, which is
estimated to reach a 2 billion dollar valuation by 2020.
• Above please find a charting of Alpha, Theta, and Beta, as well as a
comparison charting of the Tansey Technique. In the “standard”
Alpha, Theta, Beta charting one see three measures going up or
down or going along steadily across a measure of time.

21. SUMMARY
• In the Green charting, using the Tansey Technique, one sees the
actual percentage change in all the individual cycle-per-second
brainwave bands, averaged out by Alpha, Theta, Beta and Delta – and
beyond Delta, Alpha, Theta, and Beta- through 190 HZ. The
“standard” usage provides singular, energy averaged, cross
contaminated and confounded measures, to analyze and train mental
sates.
• The Tansey Technique provides 17,323 actionable independent, non
cross contaminated, digital measures per active sensor – providing an
accurate, digital measure of the complete EEG spectrum.
