Johnson (a.k.a. csven) points to in his blog “Is the Neuronet a Scam?” In his blog Mr. Johnson states: “Now that I feel like I have a real sense of what’s going on I go back to my hunch that this is a web developer with a get-rich-quick scheme.”

Although Mr. Johnson suggests there may be an association between IAVRT and Stay Sane Communictaions he has not contacted me or my business partner by phone or email. Both the email address and telephone number are readily available on the Stay Sane Communications web site which he has conveniently linked to.

For the record Stay Sane Communications and its owners Susan Simmons and Eiler Pedersen are not the International Association of Virtual Reality Technologies (IAVRT).

To those who posted information regarding Stay Sane Communications on Mr. Johnson’s blog (including Mr. Johnson himself) we kindly ask that in the future, you contact those you are making comment about to confirm information rather than post speculative and potentially damaging misinformation.

A little courtesy goes a long way.

Susan Simmons
Stay Sane Communications

Reading the latest updates at rebang, IAVRT formerly IABIT International Association of Brain Interface Technologies.

Just a few short months ago they were ready to give away millions, or so they say in a press release. A quick name change, and now they’re asking for money.

What’s going on there?

  • I pegged this as not making any sense given what I think will happen in the future which then led to my personal feeling that this is a potential scam. Right now, I don’t know what it is.

  • I didn’t go looking for information so that I “could ask them some questions”. I simply started looking for information.
