Masahiro Kahata

Masahiro Kahata began making electrical systems over 50 years ago in Sapporo Hokkaido, Japan. In the 1960's, he started to use Transistor and ICs.

In the 1970's, he designed custom-made Stereo & PA systems, analog & digital I/O system with LEDs, etc. at Psychic Lab. He became more interested in paranormal activity and psychotronics over electronics after having his own psychic experiences and encounters. Psychotronics is the interdisciplinary study of the interaction of matter, energy, and consciousness.

Masahiro also worked with companies like BUG, ASC II, American Biotech, Sony America, and others who were interested in his technology and ideas.

In the mid 1980's, Masahiro and Japan's leading computer corporation "ASC II" created "ASC II Laboratories"  for researching new human-computer interface designs and UFOs.  At that time, Masahiro became Chief Lab Researcher. After that ASC II corporation created "Microsoft Japan," which developed the world's first Windows computer for NEC corporation.

In 1988, Masahiro started Psychic Lab Inc. in Japan, which led to the developing of what would become the Interactive Brainwave Visual Analyzer (IBVA). He started to develop IBVA as a consumer product with Random Electronics Design in Tokyo, Japan. Since then, IBVA has attracted wide interest from large pioneering corporations, some of which were also interested in psychic phenomena applications.

In 1989, Masahiro moved to New York where he met many colleagues involved in paranormal fields such as UFOs, psychic phenomena, crop circles, Mars anomalies and ancient archaeological mysteries. From there, Masahiro worked with American Biotech for developing a Mac version bio feedback system. He eventually brought Psychic Lab Inc. to New York and pioneered the study of brainwave experiments in crop circles. In 1998, the IBVA won a product award at the MacWorld Convention in New York.

In 2000, he worked with Sony America for developing a brainwave active game interface, however the project was canceled after Sep 11, 2001.

Since 2002, Masahiro has become a US citizen and quit IBVA Tech in order to develop a new function of coherence in the IBVA. This new technology visually shows how to synchronize the two sides of the brain and was demonstrated at an international natural medicine conference in Cape Town, South Africa, 2004.

Ananda and Masahiro are collaborating to work on the ultimate 3-D dream machine. Parties and personal sessions will have HD projector visuals using Masahiro's Interactive Brainwave Visual Analyzer (IBVA) that can channel the brain to play different sound and visuals translated from your brain's activity frequencies. Practice controling the parameters of your brain function through the use of the IBVA during meditation and other activities.
