Max Cade Papers
This page contains lecture notes and informal papers authored by the distinguished British mind researcher C. Maxwell Cade. For details on Cade, electronics engineer Geoffrey Blundell, and their development of and discoveries with the Mind Mirror, please visit our webpage The Awakened Mind and MindMirrorEEG.com.
See Mind Mirror Studies for ongoing research using the Mind Mirror. See Meditation Research for scientific studies that confirm Max Cade’s findings on meditation, the brain, and consciousness.
Lecture Notes and Informal Papers
British biophysicist and psychobiologist C. Maxwell Cade authored these informal papers as lecture notes for meditation classes he taught in London from the late 1960s until his death in 1985. Isabel Cade points out that Max always embellished these writings in class and that their deeper meanings were brought home by the meditative experiences of students hooked up to the Mind Mirror.
Although Cade, a fellow of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Royal Society of Medicine, wrote and presented many scientific and technical papers, these lecture notes were not intended for publication and thus were not refereed or subjected to peer review. Some of them quote the writings of other prominent researchers.
IAM is pleased and proud to publish these highly informative and enlightening papers for the first time. They are a vivid illustration of Max Cade’s genius in science, medicine, psychology and spirituality, and accordingly provide a holistic understanding of the mind-body connection, higher states of consciousness, and mystical experience.
