Silva Method, formerly Silva Mind Control |
 | | He studied hypnosis, hoping to use it to increase the IQ of his children, but became interested in developing psychic abilities after he became convinced that one of his daughters was clairvoyant. |
 | | Silva became convinced that most personal and world problems are due to "using only logical, intellectual, objective means to correct problems."* He claimed that "only 10 percent of humanity think with the right brain hemisphere" and these 10 percent are geniuses. |
 | | Silva seems to have based his notions about the split-brain on the work of Roger Sperry and his colleagues. |
