Professor Allan Snyder

Today, I attended the Preschool Education Revolution Conference organised by MindChamps, held at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. One of the keynote speakers was Professor Allan Snyder.
Allan Snyder is the director of the Centre for the Mind and a co-founder of Emotiv Systems. He holds the 150th Anniversary Chair of Science and the Mind at the University of Sydney, Australia.
Prof. Snyder's research career began in optical physics and he has published several important papers and books in this field. More recently, he has begun to work on mind sciences.
Prof. Snyder has appeared in several television programs promoting his idea that transcranial magnetic stimulation of the left temporal lobe can induce savant-like skills in typical people. For example, these studies claim that after TMS, a person can draw better or count the number of dots on a screen very fast. Despite widespread press coverage, many of these studies have yet to be published in mainstream scientific journals.

Picture with Wendy Chia and husband Colin. Wendy left SIA in 2006 and now she is a home maker looking after 3 daughters. Wow, you may wonder how did she do it, 3 daughters in 2 years. She delivered all the XXX, I mean all 3 girls in one go - Yes, triplets. The SIN government loves you. I think many people envy her as well. We wish her and family much happiness.
