Gold At The Beijing Olympics
Article reprinted from:

"Hi Lawrence,
Just to let you know my shooter (Abhinav Bindra) just won
Olympic Gold.
 He's
got about 150 hours on my FlexComp Infiniti, so I guess that
makes it a gold medal for Thought Technology."
From Feb 2008 onwards, I worked
with Abhinav in South Africa, India, China, Germany and Italy,
accumulating over 150 hours of training on my Thought Technology
FlexComp Infiniti.
We used a range of forms of
biofeedback, including EMG, skin conductivity, peripheral
temperature, respiration rate and amplitude, BVP, EKG, HRV and
neurofeedback. We feel that this level of interaction allows us
to claim it as a gold for biofeedback. I am a psychologist.
It was a privilege to have the
opportunity to formulate and carry out a plan that came
together. I will be documenting this plan. I work with other
athletes, but none who are gold medal contenders. However, many
of them delight me just as much because of their determination
and desire for progress.

Abhinav Bindra gave India its first gold medal at the Beijing
Olympics when he won the 10 metres air rifle event on Monday
morning. Bindra's historic feat makes him India's first
individual gold medallist, bettering the silver medal feat of
double trap shooter Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore in Athens 2004.
