 The
AVS Journal :
The only tri-annual periodical devoted Mind Tech and the
constantly changing
landscape of Neurotechnology.
In the spirit of Michael Hutchison's MegaBrain Reports, the
AVS Journal
(audio-visual-stimulation), sets forth to delve into the
newest cutting edge
technologies embodied in light and sound, CES(cranial-electric-stimulation),
advanced biofeedback systems and magnetic therapies, to name a
few.
Contributors to the Journal include respected vendors,
manufacturers, and
neuroscientists.
Cerebrex invites you to share in this oasis of bleeding edge
knowledge via

Mind
States : An Introduction to Light & Sound
Michael has spent
several years perfecting his concepts of "Light and Sound" and "Sound
Only" technology. He is one of the few neuro-tech explorers that have strived
to present the various aspects of owning a photo stimulation
device in a clear, easy to read format. It is a work that
should be considered by all experienced explorers and well as
the neophyte. It is a book whose time has come. It should also be noted that Michael
is the co-creator of one of the most sophisticated "Sound Only" systems
on the market. The 515 has been used with great success
in many areas from police stations to a wide variety of clinical, therapeutic
environments.

to Light & Sound

Welcome To Light & Sound Technology
A. What Is A Light & Sound Instrument?
A light and sound instrument is a mind entrainment tool. The
method by which this entrainment occurs is known as the Frequency Following Response
(FFR). Through the use of audio (headphones) and visual (eye frames with LEDs)
stimulation, listeners are gently guided into specific states of mind. Each audio
beat and light pulse is a specific frequency. Our minds "think" in terms
of frequency. Brainwaves change frequencies based on neural activity within the
brain, be it by hearing, touch, smell, vision and/or taste. These senses respond
to activity from the environment and transmits that information to the brain via
electrical signals. Hearing and vision are considered the favorable senses for
affecting brainwaves safely. By presenting these beats and pulses to the brain,
within a few minutes, the brain begins to mimic or follow the same frequencies
as the stimuli (the beats and pulses). This process is referred to as entrainment.
In essence, these instruments speak to the mind in it's own language - the language
of frequency.

B. Peak Performing In Beta.
Utilizing beat sessions can add to
the quality of our day. You can increase your performance, your productivity,
your ability to stay on task and fulfill your responsibilities. Beta light and
sound sessions are energizing. They help you get going. Chemical stimulants cannot
compare. Chemical stimulants have been known to produce negative side effects
(i.e. physical shakiness and grumpy attitude as the effects subside). Beta/energize
sessions have no negative side effects.
