ROBERT MONROE

__TOC__
'Robert Allan Monroe' (October 30, 1915–March 17, 1995) was a psychic researcher^[1] and author of ''Journeys Out of the Body'', a 1971 book that popularized the expression "out-of-body experience". He founded The Monroe Institute, which carries on his work.
Monroe was a conservative Virginia businessman who in his book ''Journeys Out Of The Body'' relates that he began having having out-of-body experiences in 1958. After much experimentation, he founded The Monroe Institute, a "nonprofit education and research organization devoted to the exploration of human consciousness" and developed a method he called Hemi-Sync (hemispherical synchronization) to induce mental states (focus levels) that are favorable for inducing out-of-body experiences. Hemi-Sync is a system which aims to balance the brain waves of both of the brain's hemispheres or lobes through cooperative processing of auditory stimulus. The stimulus, together with meditative instruction, is provided via headphones. The method is based on a concept known as binaural beats.
