Here’s another repost. Matt Graham in this open-source video allows two civilian commentators into a mixed enrollment class near a .gov training facility in VA. He took over a portion of the job that my friend and mentor Ed Lovette had back in the day. Matt has a...
I first wrote this series back in 2012. It was more for my purposes and some of my students and colleagues, but maybe there’s still interest in it yet. Most of the material remains valid except for the references to the DARPA programs which have since moved on (I...
As we curmudgeons are prone to do, I neglected to pay attention to my podcast platform, which apparently came down on 1 November along with all my pithy collection of hums and hahs over the last few months. Ah well. Another person might be screaming about “Lost...

Remember learning your ABCs? Counting it off, maybe singing the letters? Can you do that right now? Yes. Do it as fast as you can. No problem, right? Now do it backwards. Not so easy, yeah? Ever wonder why? I remember my mother telling me something: “I want you to...
While I'm on a roll today, I thought I'd share another shooting-oriented exercise from the Marcus Bag of Tricks. Caveat as always -- I'm not a firearms instructor, I work on enhancing performance in people who have to perform under high stress, and some of them carry...
I've been channeling Milton (and the Bible) and going to-and-fro in the world as of late, working hard to get myself out of the black hole of debt and spreading the gospel of neural-based training. I thought I'd share a few high-lights from recent trainings with you,...
This is the only video I've ever done about my work in neural-based training. As I say in the video, I've resisted videos, interviews and writing about the work -- why? Because my focus is on making it happen in real-time through simple technique. But the very...
