The Brainwave Synchronizer

Develop and Evolve Your Consciousness with Ease .....

The Brainwave Synchronizer is a Light and Sound device used to control brainwave frequencies and patterns, to achieve specific objectives. These objectives typically include;

  • relaxation
  • sleep induction
  • improved ability to learn
  • improved memory
  • reaching altered states of consciousness normally only achievable through advanced meditation techniques
  • being less anxious and nervous
  • being able to handle high pressure situations more easily

The brainwave synchronizer works on the principle of entrainment, whereby the light and sound device creates an oscillating frequency which the brain starts to follow after a period of around 5-6 minutes. When the lights and sound from the synchronizer pulse at the speed of normal brainwaves when a session begins, they quickly synchronize. Your brainwaves will then follow as the light and sound stimulation shifts into the frequencies of another mind state. This is called the frequency following effect, or entrainment. The scientific term when lights are used for this is usually Photic Driving.

Each pulse of the stimulation being used must evoke enough of a response from the brain in order for entrainment to be effective. This response by the brain from sensory stimulation is called cortical evoked response. This can happen from any type of sensory stimulation, but the most effective means of doing this is through light and sound combined.



Brainwave Synchronizers typically use Light and Sound Delivered from a computer through Headphones and Special Light Glasses to achieve Control of Brainwaves

Sound has a very small effect on brainwaves when used alone, and shifting a mindstate effectively requires more than stimulation from sound at a sustained frequency.

The brainwave synchronizer uses complex pulse patterns of light and sound that years of research show are best for the brainwave frequency following effect.

To get a better understanding on how the brainwave synchronizer works, lets have a look at brainwave basics.

Brainwave Basics

Using electroencephalography, we are able to record the electrical activity in the brain which results from the firing of neurons in the brain. The diagram to the right shows a typical electroencephalogram graph taken from an EEG machine showing various frequencies and modulations, or brainwaves.

It has been shown that there will always be a predominant speed where most of these waves synchronize. The speed of a brainwave is called a frequency - this frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz). Scientists who first measured these waves found that they were connected to mind states. Brainwaves have been divided into four predominant speed ranges, or types. Brainwave types are connected to different mind states, or states of consciousness.
Each brainwave type contains smaller bands relating to specific functions of body and mind. Some complex mental states relate to specific frequencies that repeat in patterns. There are also mind/body processes connected to single frequencies.

Brainwave Types

Brainwave Name Frequency (Hertz) EEG Typical
Mind State		  
Beta 14 - 30 Hz Alert; Engaged in Work; Active Thinking; Concentrating  
Alpha 9 - 13 Hz Relaxed State; Closed Eyes; Daydreaming.  
Theta 4 - 8 Hz Drowsiness; Deep Meditation; Between Awake/Asleep; Shamanic States; Bridge to Subconciousness  
Delta 1 - 3 Hz Deep Dreamless Sleep; Unconcious  

A typical session on the brainwave synchronizer will start at beta, and will then work its way down as low as a Theta or even a Delta state, depending on the objective so desired (e.g., wanting to feel relaxed or creative). It will then finish off by taking you back to the Beta state. In as little as 15 minutes, you can be taken to close to a sleep state, and then be fully alert at the end of that session but without the stress you may have been feeling.

The Brainwave Synchronizer

The Brainwave Synchronizer is the best value in light/sound mind machines available today due to its low price and rich set of features. It will provide many hours of rewarding use. Our new PureWhite white-light LiteFrames are included for enhanced visuals.

The Brainwave Synchronizer is incredibly sturdy, conveniently small, ergonomic, and very easy to use. All you need to do is power it on, choose one of the 23 preset sessions, put on the headphones and lite frames, and close your eyes. The session will guide you into other mental states by stimulating your senses with special patterns of sound and synchronized lights. You will be instantly transported to a profound state of relaxation.

In your minds eye you'll see patterns of shapes dancing to thick washes and pulses of sound. These special combinations of flickering light and sound are having an effect on your brainwaves. Geometric patterns shape-shift and color cycle while guiding you through the session toward the mind state you desire.

Your stress from the day is released as your brainwaves begin following the frequencies you are perceiving. The frequencies used in the Brainwave Synchronizer sessions mimic those found in brainwaves during activities like meditation, dreaming, and deeply focused concentration. You experience and feel these states as your brainwaves synchronize to the lights and sound. Your brain begins producing more theta and alpha waves, and less beta waves - what we have during 'busy and scattered thinking' throughout the day.

The Brainwave Synchronizer was designed for people who are looking for a powerful light and sound mind machine, but favour the value over multiple colors and programmability. Even with the low price, it is still packed with features. The Brainwave Synchronizer includes Audiostrobe technology for synchronizing special music CDs with the lights, ColorPulse mode for synchronizing with any of your favourite music, and MicroPulse mode that uses a built in microphone to synchronize with any sound, anywhere.

What is AudioStrobe?

AudioStrobe technology allows you to use specially encoded music CDs with the Brainwave Synchronizer. AudioStrobe music CDs are capable of controlling the lights when played through The Brainwave Synchronizer using the included patch cable.

The AudioStrobe technique uses a control signal embedded into the music on the CD. These control signals control different aspects of the Brainwave Synchronizer while the music is playing. The artists attempt to create a visual representation of their music so that you can see what the music sounds like while it is playing.

Because the signals are mastered at the same time that the CD is, a very precise synchronization of the audio and visual stimulation can be achieved since the signals are mastered together with the CD. AudioStrobe was developed by Mr. Andrzej Slawinski of AudioStrobe GMBH, Germany.

What is ColorPulse?

ColorPulse transforms the beat of your favorite tapes and CDs into patterns of pulsing light. It works best with music with a distinctive beat. You can fine-tune the light show effects by adjusting the sensitivity with the left-hand dial. Try this with spoken word tapes and CDs-the lights trigger with every spoken word. It's quite entrancing!

What is MicroPulse?

The built in microphone picks up sounds around you and passes them through the ColorPulse circuitry. It's very useful if, for example, you are sitting in your living room listening to music and are too far away to connect the Brainwave Synchronizer directly to the stereo. Simply choose this mode and lie back. The sounds coming from your loudspeakers will trigger the lights so you see patterns dancing in time with the music. Increase or decrease the way the patterns change by adjusting the left-hand sensitivity dial.

Is the Brainwave Synchronizer Safe for Everyone to Use?

No. If you plan to order the Brainwave Synchronizer, please make sure you are not sensitive to strobe effects. Make sure that you do not allow others who may be photo sensitive to use your machine.

Brainwave Synchronizers have been used for years - thousands of people have yielded their benefits. However, if you are sensitive to light or have PhotoSensitive Epilepsy, then the Brainwave Synchronizer is not for you. It is possible for a Brainwave Synchronizer to cause seizures in these individuals in the same way that oscillating lights or 'strobe' lights can. If you, or anyone else who shares your machine are using a pacemaker, suffering cardiac arrhythmia or other head disorders, on tranquilizers or psychotropic medicines, have epilepsy or visual photosensitivity, the Brainwave Synchronizer should be avoided.

The Brainwave Synchronizer features;

  • A Hand Held Sirius Computer Control Console with 23 Pre-programmed Mind Altering Sessions
  • PureWhite LiteFrames™
  • Deluxe Headphones
  • Audio Patch Cord
  • Full Operating Instructions
  • Convenient Carry Case

The Brainwave Synchronizer is powered by 3 AA batteries (not supplied) but also has an input for a power supply (7.5V 200ma) which can be sourced from an electronics store.

The 23 Preset Sessions in the Control Console

A decade of experience developing and refining the use of light and sound technology has gone into the Brainwave Synchronizer. The proprietary preset sessions are the result of years of extensive research, in both universities and in the private sector. The preset sessions include programs created by Dr. Hans Bittner, based upon his research at the University of Essen. Sessions have been grouped into four categories - Peak Performance, Tranquillity, Learning, and Well Being.

Peak Performance

 These sessions will help you maintain clear and focused states throughout the day. Try using these when you feel your energy level waning.
1 Power Regeneration 20 min Studies of peak performance suggest that you perform better with a "power nap" as part of a daily routine; in other words, a break completely away from your duties and responsibilities. You will be able to perform more efficiently and actually find yourself accomplishing more. With time you might also find that your desire for stimulants like coffee, tea or sweetened soft drinks will decrease. Use this session, or sessions 3, 4, 7, 9, or 12 for feelings of mental and physical regeneration.
2 Performance Intensive 18 min This fast-paced session is great if you feel the need for a "mood boost:' We suggest that you use it with your favourite high beat music. This is a session you can use several times in a row if you choose.
3 Quick Break 15 min Use this session during your day to quickly feel refreshed and regenerated. It is a very useful session to use when you know you have a very long and busy schedule ahead of you. A 15 minute break a few times per day is an investment in focus, clarity, and decision making.
4 Power Pause 15 min This is a slightly more stimulating version of session 03. It will help clear your mind of all thoughts for a few minutes and increase your mental clarity. You can choose to use fast-paced music instead of the internal sounds.
5  Athletic Warm-Up 17 min This session will help enhance feelings of tranquil concentration prior to exercise or physical competition. A number of athletes do exceptionally well in practice only to falter in competition. Top performers are able to maintain consistent performance under all circumstances. The key is a tranquil yet focused state allowing your mind and body to work in harmony. Physical training is only half the battle towards success in competition. Sit quietly and visualize yourself (and your team) attaining the goals you set for yourself. You may also use this session with any number of peak performance or positive affirmation tapes. You or your coach may even record your own positive affirmations and play them back while using this session.
6 Maintaining Peak
Competitive Posture		 30 min Use this session between athletic competitions for visualization, success, and peak performance. It is best to use it with either positive affirmation or guided visualization scripts written and spoken by yourself, your coach or trainer, or with any of the fine recorded products available on the market. You do not have to be involved in sports competition to enjoy the positive effects of this session.

Tranquillity

 Use these sessions on a regular basis for best results. It is useful to read books on meditation and tranquillity techniques and to incorporate these techniques into a daily practice.
7 Quick Work Break 15 min The common wisdom says you should take breaks at regular intervals if, for example, you work on a computer for extended periods of time. Combine this session with a good regimen of stretching exercise to avoid many of the chronic physical maladies that affect more and more people who sit in one place too long. In addition, we suggest that you use this session during your break times. It is also great after lunch and before you go back to the keyboard.
8 Mind Sauna 25 min Use this with deep breathing and muscle awareness exercises. Start by breathing from your diaphragm. You will know you are doing this correctly when you feel your stomach, not your chest, moving up and down with every deep breath. As you allow your muscles to relax, tension will disappear. You may try lying down while using this session with relaxing music. There is a quick two minute boost at the end of the session to bring you "back up" again.
9 Quick Refresher 16 min Here is help for you to refocus your energies. Use it if you are feeling you need to be able to revitalize yourself during a particularly difficult day. As you become more familiar with the subtleties of the various sess)ons you will find you will tend to develop favourites you use several times a week. Because they are convenient to use, some of the 15-20 minute sessions like this one will get a lot of use.
10 Regeneration 35 min This session is long enough to allow you to reach a state of very deep tranquillity and focused concentration. Some people feel this session seems much shorter then 35 minutes. A session like this has to be used on a regular basis over a period of several weeks to help you learn to properly let go and allow yourself to become deeply tranquil. This is also a good session to use with tranquillity or self-help tapes.
11 Deep Meditation 60 min Make time for yourself! Use this session when you know you will remain undisturbed. This is the longest session offered and for beginning users it may seem too long. It is excellent as a training session if you are trying to learn how to meditate for extended periods. You may find your meditation practice will go more smoothly even without the help of this machine.

Learning

 Learning is enhanced when you are in a tranquil, alert state. Absorbing new information and concepts-and memorization too-becomes easier. Many people also find self-help tapes are more effective when used along with a light and sound machine. Try sessions 13, 16, or 17 for this purpose, but make sure the session you choose is long enough to last the length of the tape.
12 Quick Alertness Break 10 min This is a perfect session to help you remain focused on your studies. It is designed to be used once every 40 to 60 minutes. This session will help you to better integrate the material during your study period.
13 Learning with Tapes 35 min This session is specifically designed for use with language tapes. It uses the techniques pioneered by a Bulgarian researcher, called super learning. It involves developing a state of tranquil and focused concentration.
14 Relax Before Exams or
Pressure Situations		 15 min It will leave you with a sense of calm, focus and confidence. Concentration can be broken when you are feeling uneasy. Everyone has had the experience of taking an exam, feeling pressured and forgetting material they easily remember when the pressure is taken off. This session is ideal for use before an exam or presentation.
15 Concentration 15 min This session is designed to quickly bring you into a calm, focused state. A tranquil body allows the mind more ability to be alert and attentive. Your main focus when using this session should be to allow your body to become as tranquil as possible while maintaining your alertness. Use your breathing exercises to help you do that.
16 Creativity Enhancement 20 min This session sweeps through a series of frequencies to help stimulate your thought processes. Use it frequently for maximum benefit. Try this one for several days in a row for help with problem solving. Try not to push for a solution: try to allow one to come on it's own. Sometimes letting go is the best method.
17 Visualization 20 min Use when you feel tired and want a session that moves through a series of frequencies for stimulation and visualization. If you are a visual person, you will see all kinds of kaleidoscopic imagery. The session is quite enjoyable with very pleasant after-effects.

Well-Being

 These sessions are especially useful when you are looking for a release from the tensions that build up during the day.
18 Body/Mind Awareness 25 min There is a direct connection between health of the mind and the body. It is difficult to have a tranquil mind while your body feels tense. Alternatively, it is difficult to allow your body to relax if your mind is overactive or you are filled with emotional anxiety. This session is best used with a recorded program designed for tranquillity of your body and mind. If no tape is available, do a body awareness exercise of going through each muscle group and becoming aware of tight spots. Work to release and relax your entire body over this 25 minute session. Use it often if this is your main area of concern. Pay attention to your body and notice if you find it becoming looser as the weeks progress.
19 Afternoon Break 22 min Mix this session with some gentle, soothing music or nature sounds to reduce the tensions caused by your daily life. The session is long enough to help you to become deeply refreshed, but not so long as to cut too heavily into your other daily responsibilities. One of the most difficult problems to overcome is making the time each day to use the unit in a meaningful way. If you find this to be the case try any of the 15-25 minute sessions and commit yourself to using them. If you can spare a few extra minutes you may find this session becomes one of your favourites.
20 Deep Tranquility 25 min Try this session first if you are really sensitive or just starting out on the machine. This is one of the most gentle sessions in the unit. Just sit back and allow yourself to gently flow.
21 Goodnight 18 min This is a great session to use at the end of your day. Lie down, and set the lights at a low level. It is fairly short because we do not want you to fall asleep while still wearing the glasses and headphones.
22 Release the Day 25 min Use this with the lights set to a low to moderate setting. This is an end of the day session for calming and internal balance. It is best used when you have planned no more social interaction for the remainder of the evening, including TV. Perhaps after using it you will want to read a book for a while or just go directly to sleep.
23 Random Sweep No time limit This session will never run the same way twice. It is designed to move from frequency to frequency in a random pattern. The frequency changes every few seconds. Experiment with it and enjoy the interesting visual and audio effects.

Your First Week Using the Brain Synchronizer

Day 1 - Spend at least one 20 minute session in a comfortable position of your choice. It can be sitting or lying down. Give yourself a few minutes before beginning to adjust and get comfortable. Read the descriptions and start with a session that appeals to you. There is no one magic session for everyone. As unique human beings we will each prefer different selections. Once you decide on your session, start by taking a few deep breaths, exhaling slowly and completely. Breath from your diaphragm rather than your chest. When you are doing this correctly your stomach will move in and out with each breath. Pay attention only to your breathing: focus completely on it. Notice your feelings, your thoughts and sensations, and allow them to flow through you uncritically.

Day 2 - Again, spend at least one 20 minute period with the Brainwave Synchronizer. Focus on each breath. Visualize yourself tranquil, refreshed and more able to cope with daily pressures and annoyances.

Day 3 - Today, in addition to focusing on your breath, learn to start focusing inward. Put all your concentration at an imaginary point slightly above and between your eyes. Stay with this point of concentration throughout your entire session.

Day 4 - Now you are starting to develop a daily routine. If this is difficult, look at what small changes you can make for this to be an important part of your day. Run one of the longer sessions if you like, and see how that feels.

Day 5 - Continue with at least one 20-30 minute program of your choice. Stay with your schedule. Notice your breathing patterns, especially during stressful parts of your day. Are you out of touch with your body? Just practice your breathing exercise during these times.

Day 6 - By now you should have a good pattern in place; this is important-stay with it. Notice your muscle tension during your session. Try a simple exercise of tensing and releasing different muscle groups. Continue to do this until you have gone through your entire body. Remember to pay attention to your breathing. Notice how you feel at the end of this session. Compare your thoughts, sensations and feelings to your first couple of days. Do you notice any differences?

Day 7 - Through your exercises you are learning to introduce greater tranquillity in your life. You will find yourself more tranquil under many different situations. The quality of your life can improve in as little as a few days. Imagine yourself after several months of regular practice: how good you will feel, how much better your experience of the world will be. Now continue to develop a focused yet tranquil awareness during your sessions. Allow yourself to flow with your experience wherever it takes you. Watch your creative energies
begin to blossom as you enter deeper and deeper states of consciousness. Little by little you will notice subtle yet powerful changes transforming your experience of the world around you.

Enjoy, you deserve it!
