Summary

COI synopsis: Often being forced to rethink and see things in a different way can open up a vast avenue of approach to new ideas. This issue looks at recent developments in science which grew out of just this kind of rethink. One of the most astonishing rethinks of modern times has been in our attitude towards the possibility of controlling involuntary body functions - like the beating of the heart. Now the combination of yoga and electronic biofeedback, is being used successfully to relieve high blood pressure.
