Justin Feinstein, Ph.D. – Our laboratory is interested in understanding the intimate connection between the body and the brain, and developing new technologies to help bring this connection to the forefront of awareness.

Every moment of the day, the brain is continuously infused with signals from the internal world of the body, especially the heart, lungs, gut, and immune system. The brain attempts to organize all of these signals into detailed body maps, essentially providing the brain with a snapshot of how the body is feeling, moment by moment. It has recently been discovered that disturbances in these body maps form the foundation for a number of psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, addiction, and anorexia. Our laboratory aims to correct these disturbances by experientially teaching patients how to consciously access their brain’s body maps.

Since much of the processing that occurs inside these body maps is happening unconsciously, we are exploring several new approaches that can selectively enhance “interoceptive awareness.” One approach involves specialized flotation tanks, which are highly effective at removing the distractions from the external world so that patients can more clearly experience their internal world. Another approach involves real-time neurofeedback using fMRI and EEG, providing patients with the ability to literally view the brain activity inside their own body maps. Over time, and with repeated practice, these approaches offer patients the unique opportunity to reshape their internal experience.

Horace E. Walcott, DVM, MSPH, MSc – Principal Investigator of ATSU Survey of FL-REST A.T. Still University, Arizona

FL-REST has been demonstrated to elicit altered states of consciousness (ASC) in general, the relaxation response (RR), and shamanistic states of consciousness (SSC). My co-investigator, Dr. Jeff Alexander and I are conducting a survey of floaters to examine the comparisons of novice and expert floaters. We are interested in the ways in which ASC, RR, and SSC are elicited in expert and novice floaters. There are possibilities that there are additive, agonistic, and synergistic effects when novice and expert floaters elicit ASC, RR, and SSC.

ASC, RR, and SSC have been germane components in the pillars of complementary and alternative health and medicine and have been gaining acceptance in genomic-based scientific medicine. For millennia, ASC, RR, and SSC have remained shrouded in the practices of yogi philosophy, Eastern mysticism, and shamanistic practices in traditional societies However, investigative methods in Western scientific medicine have been demonstrating that ASC, RR, and SSC can be elicited voluntarily during FL-REST and the three psychophysiological states have potent prophylactic and therapeutic effects on FLOATRs.

There will be multiple benefits derived from a fundamental inquiry of the levels of ASC, RR, and SSC elicited by novice FLOATRs and expert FLOATRs. In general meta-cognition has been demonstrated to be a major difference between novices and experts. Additionally, studies have been conducted to examine the differences between expert and novice meditators who elicit the RR, expert and novice mystics who elicit ASC, and master and apprentice shamans who elicit the SSC. By FL-REST, FLOATRs can elicit ASC, RR, and SSC at the levels of novices and expert, without extensive rituals, preceptor ship training, and ascetic living. Singly and in combination, ASC, RR, and SSC continue to have profound positive health influences on individuals and communities globally.

Andy Hnilo – Actor and model living in Los Angeles, CA.

As an athlete all of his life, Andy excelled in baseball and football. He was ranked in Baseball America’s top 100 players out of high school and earned a baseball scholarship to UC Berkeley and turned down an opportunity to play professional baseball when he landed a role on daytime soap opera, “Days of our Lives.” After that he appeared as a recurring character on “Bold and Beautiful.” Andy has since kept very busy with modeling and acting – most recently appearing on HBO’s “Hello Ladies.” Andy has walked the runway for numerous clothing companies such as Calvin Klein, Levi’s, Oakley, Speedo, and has shot over a dozen national commercials for companies like Michelob Ultra, Geico, Nike, Mizuno and most recently Coppertone. In addition to the runway he has appeared in dozens of nationwide publications most recently in Entertainment Weekly’s spread on ’50 Shades of Grey’ as the fictional character Christian Grey. Andy recently shot the 2015 Oakley Training Wear campaign and has spent the last year traveling all over the country for Oakley as their in house male model.

After getting hit and run over by two SUV’s, he thought his career was over but through nutrition and relentless hard work, he has found himself in better shape physically and mentally because of it, working more than ever before.

“I have used the Float Clinic float deprivation tank now for two weeks and I cant say enough about the facility. They keep a pristine, friendly, sanitary environment along with user friendly, comfortable tanks that get the job done better than any sensory deprivation tank that I have ever used. I leave feeling refreshed, renewed and balanced after what usually is a long, hectic day with my schedule. I am extremely particular with the products I use and the things I do to my body, and I absolutely made it a must to visit Float Clinic at least twice a week for its therapeutic benefits. Not only for physical recovery but to release my mind leaving me with that clean slate to take on the next day at 100%. I’ve truly never experienced anything like it before.”
