![]() An adventure in building understanding by Win Wenger, Ph.D. ![]()
A method of understanding and of problem-solving as simple and easy as Evoked Sidebands can be used to good effect by many people across a very wide range of abilities. Please help spread the word so more people will get to know about it.
We discovered the Evoked Sidebands method in 2005, but it's way too good for us to hold it back from people while trying to pursue proprietary advantage. I'm hoping you will try this out yourself and will like the results so very much that you won't want to hold it back, either.
In keeping with the conditions stated at the end of this article, we welcome your re-publishing this set of instructions for Evoked Sidebands in listgroups and on bulletin boards, and even as a guest article in your own website.

Could so simple an action as this resolve some of the world's difficulties? Let's find out.
![]() Origins of the method:
![]() Focus of awareness: Please indulge me in one simple action: hold your index finger up at arm's length distance, stare at it without moving your eyes from it for a minute or so. Notice how much of the rest of the space around you you can see and understand, without moving your eyes from your finger. Your focus of awareness is about as wide, metaphorically speaking, as your visual focus, which in fact is about as wide as your index finger held up at arm's length distance. Over a lifetime you've accumulated a habitual strategy for what you include in that focus and what you exclude from it. Much of the time that strategy serves you well enough, but some of the time what you've excluded from the focus of your attention is much more valuable to you than what you've included. Each time you are stuck on a question or problem, you can pretty well bet that is the case. Likewise for whenever you've been unable to fully grasp something that you've been trying to understand. Evoked Sidebands is an easy, direct way to bring into focus some of your best thinking and perceiving.
![]() The method itself is simple: You need at least two sheets of paper to write on, or one sheet and an audio recorder, or one sheet and a live listener. With the intention and expectation of noticing thoughts and perceptions as they occur just beyond the focus of your attention.....
As simple as that! A powerful idea-generating device; often pointing to a complete effective solution; a power tool for building your understanding about anything. A power tool whose practice also makes you more and more aware of your own higher intellectual processes and perceptions. You are indeed brighter than you think!
![]() Conclusions: What I still find remarkable is how sensitive the style of those evoked sideband awarenesses is to even those slight differences in the stimulus, the different handwriting samples. If you do this same process on a computer screen, you can easily vary the font and size instead of your handwriting and still get the same effect. You can also get further differences in style by changing the color of the printing, or of the background. Get even further differences if you print out the different versions of the problem-statements on different kinds of paper. When the stimulus not only generates so many secondary awarenesses for us, but such slight variations in that stimulus will produce such major differences in those secondary awarenesses that has to tell us that we have huge streams of secondary awarenesses going on in us at all times. All we need is to pay attention, be alert to noticing these as they bob up, and have a tool like this to help us do so. You are, indeed, a lot brighter than you think. With the right tools, you can be more than a match for almost any problem or opportunity. Evoked Sidebands is an awareness-developer and an idea-generating device which often also acts to find effective solutions to problems. There are more than four hundred different effective problem-solving methods now in professional use around the world; Evoked Sidebands is but the newest. See also Double-Entry A-Ha! Method
