I speak on and put on drum circles for the brain, teambuilding, and health & wellness, and provide neurological monitoring for the disorder hydrocephalus, and consult on mHealth development. I put on a lot of drum circles in the workplace. Since 2005, I've organized & led over 200 drum circles. My background is in music, medicine, medical imaging, business & marketing, and the neurosciences. During the 1980s, I was active in marketing and fundraising for the arts and sports, and area fundraising and outreach. I became a neuroscientist following a 1992 automobile accident and onset of the condition, hydrocephalus. This led to my designing and patenting one of the earliest mHealth mobile apps in 1997, the DiaCeph Test app, for monitoring patients with CNS shunts for hydrocephalus. In 2005, I became a drum circle facilitator and began to apply my efforts in the neurosciences to drumming. And today, I use drumming to help individuals/groups with health & wellness, hydrocephalus, autism, Parkinson's Disease, drug & alcohol addiction, and more. Since 2008, I have been applying my drumming methods to sports, the workplace, and have published in-depth blogs on these topics topics. I love to speak and give talks on my experiences with drumming, innovation, hydrocephalus, mHealth, assistive technology, and my design activities. I am based out of Orange County, California. Nowadays I write mostly on my DolleCommunications Blog below, and maintain three web sites, with my main business web site at www.DolleCommunications.com Be sure to visit my Dolle Communications Blog. I may be reached via email at contact[at]dollecommunictions[dot]com, or via message at HydroPowered & Stephen Dolle fan pages on Facebook. Feel free to leave comments on my blog. I regret I no longer have my area code 949 home/office phone. Below, are several of my popular blogs on drumming, drumming for sports, sensory processing disorder (SPD), and the DiaCeph mHealth App.
Drum Circles & Facilitation - In
my drum circle facilitation work, I put on drumming events &
therapeutic workshops for health &
wellness organizations with an emphasis on brain health, wellness, stress
reduction, and movement disorders. Drumming is also a highly effective tool
in fitness and weight loss. In my team building practice, I put on
drumming for workplace wellness to help develop employee skills, leadership,
volunteering, and community outreach. Since 2004, I've provided a
variety of these
services to many different organizations. From Mindfulness to Traditional Neuroscience - Though my neurosciences and mindfulness practices began in the early 1970s with psychology, ESP, and philosophy, it wasn't until a 1992 auto accident changed my life and left me with a CNS shunt and hydrocephalus, that I became formally involved in the neurosciences. I had worked as a nuclear medicine technologist from 1976 until the time of my accident in 1992. In 1981, I serendipitously developed skills as a medical intuitive. My initial efforts following my 1992 injury were in hydrocephalus research, CNS shunt dynamics, and Food & Drug Administration regulatory affairs. Next, it was cognition, learning methods, assistive technology, diagnostic technology, and then music therapy. My 1996 FDA petition on CNS shunts then led me to design a hydrocephalus monitoring method that I wanted to run on a PDA. I was able to design this because of my strong math, software, and diagnostic imaging background, where I frequently wrote diagnostic procedures & set up medical instrumentation. Today, my DiaCeph method could be a mobile mHealth app.
Era of the Brain
- I
think it's safe to say today that the era of the brain has arrived. Yet,
there is so much to be done in awareness, solutions, and I am an advocate for "cognitive accessibility," and believe companies, municipalities, organizations, and others should undertake more effort to make their products, services, instructions, web sites, and facilities more available to persons with brain & cognitive disabilities. It is too complex a subject to cover here. I am developing the web site www.CognitiveAccessibility.org, plus host content on this topic on my main www.DolleCommunications.com web site.
