“a better tomorrow starts in our brains......a lot of brain optimisation starts with noise reduction, seeing what you brain does in real time"
Takeaways from Ed Andrew talking with Devon White
Devon White has studied human behaviour and human design for over 20 years and he is at the forefront of revolutionising the wider wellness industry. Devon is the ceo and co-founder of Field which uses neuro technology and neuro enhancement to upgrade your neural pathways, restore brain function to damaged areas and enable people to thrive and leave their trauma behind.
Devon is pioneering in his research and work, and has just moved out of R&D with two professors of neuro-psychiatry. Field offers retreats and one to one session though the aim is to take neuro enhancement into a clinical setting open to all.
He is a wonderful human who has his own story but he has amazing presence, an intellect, wisdom and awareness that is profound and he combines Eastern and Western practices. Devon shares his own insight from a young boy on a quest to study human psychology from every modality and how Field has helped restore 90% of brain function to his brother after suffering a serious head injury in a car accident.
