About the author. Lester Ingber, Ph.D., physics, and karate instructor, has over 28 years of experience in each discipline. He is a seventh dan karate sensei, and president of Physical Studies Institute (PSI), a California nonrofit corporation whose studies span several activities, ranging from biological and physical sciences to physical body disciplines. He has founded and instructed karate classes at several universities where he was a theoretical physicist, as a student, a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow, and faculty member. In 1968, Dr. Ingber accomplished the first scientific study of the physical principles operative in karate. This thesis was accepted by the Japan Karate Association and the All-American Karate Federation as one of the requirements for their prestigious Instructor's degree, which he became the first Westerner to receive. By 1970, he integrated these studies with research into yin and yang attention processes, creating a scientific and practical teaching methodology promoting efficient indepth learning of all aspects of this martial art. These concepts were published in 1976, in The Karate Instructor's Handbook and in its 1981 revision, Karate: Kinematics and Dynamics. Dr. Ingber has also recently published in scientific journals the first biophysics theory of brain function that yields specific mechanisms to explain yin and yang processes. In part for this work, in 1985 he was recommended for a Senior Research Associateship by the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. ...
