An exploration of “brain style” technologies and practices–mindapps–that increase intellectual capacity and enable new means of thought and action

• Reveals how mindapps transform the patterns of our mind-body complex and help generate brand-new ideas by allowing access to brand-new mind states

• Examines the singlestate fallacy–the myth that useful thinking just occurs inside our common awake state of mind

• Explores an abundance of mindapp practices and methods, including microdosing with psychedelics, on the subject of Mindapps: Multistate Theory and Tools for Mind Style yoga and martial arts, hypnosis, breathing techniques, lucid thinking, rites of passage, biofeedback and neurofeedback, and transcranial human brain stimulation

Just as we are able to write and install apps inside our electronic devices, we are able to construct “mindapps” and install them in our brain-mind complex, and as just like digital apps add capabilities to your devices, mindapps may expand our mental powers and creative abilities, allowing us to intentionally redesign our thoughts.

Using psychedelics as the leading example, Thomas B. Roberts explores the countless different kinds of mindapps, including deep breathing, other psychoactive plants and chemicals, sensory overload and deprivation, biofeedback and neurofeedback, hypnotherapy and suggestion, rest and lucid thinking, creative imagery, transcranial brain excitement and optical mind activation, rites of passing, martial arts and exercise routines, yoga, breathing techniques, and contemplative prayer. He also looks at the future of mindapps, the potential for new mindapps yet to be developed, and how installing multiple mindapps can produce new, yet to be explored mind areas. Drawing on years of study, he shows how psychedelics in particular are “ideagens”–effective tools for producing new concepts and new means of thinking.

Uniting the countless forms of mindapps into one overall Multistate Brain Theory, Roberts examines the singlestate fallacy–the myth that useful thinking only occurs in our ordinary awake mental state–and shows the countless mind-body says we are capable of. He shows how mindapps not only allow us to create and redesign our own minds but also give benefits for artistic overall performance, mystical and religious experience, and medical research by improving creativity, open-mindedness, problem solving, and inner-brain connections. Reformulating how exactly we take into account the individual mind, Mindapps unveils the new multistate landscape of the mind and how we can each enter the globe of mind design.
