To learn to control their brain rhythms, the musicians were shown a picture of a boat and asked to make it sail towards the horizon. This only happened when they achieved the desired brain state. "First you try as hard as you can to make the boat move, and it just goes backwards," John Gruzelier, professor of psychology at Imperial College Medical School, told the British Association's Festival of Science. "Soon you learn to go with the flow, and let your brain do all the work for you."
