Mind machines are also known as Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) or light and sound stimulation brain wave frequency generators. Mind machines employ a technique that utilizes pulses of light and sound at specific frequencies to gently and safely guide the brain into specific brain wave frequency patterns. By manipulating your brain wave frequencies, you gain the ability to boost your mood, improve sleep patterns, sharpen your mind, increase focus and concentration, heighten memory retention and increase your level of relaxation, all with the simple push of a button!
Mind machines are capable of producing specifically designed brain wave frequencies through the process of entrainment (the tendency of physiological processes to mirror environmental stimuli). The DAVID Delight, Alert and Smart light and sound systems also increases cerebral blood flow (blood flow in the brain) and increases the metabolization of glucose in the brain for improved functioning of the neurons. The combined outcome of these processes is improved mental, emotional and physical performance. This is an effective, inexpensive alternative therapy for many disorders such as anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), PTSD, Fibromyalgia and chronic pain. These mind machines are also used successfully to boost physical performance for athletes, academic performance for students and cognitive performance for seniors.
One important objective of brain wave entrainment is to generate a dissociative state, which is a meditation-like state of deep relaxation. It is the mind/body rehabilitative benefits produced by this deep trance-like state that makes light and sound stimulation so useful for so many conditions. The dissociative state can be first observed by noticing deep and diaphragmatic breathing. Hands and feet become warmer as arteries dilate. Skin color will become pinker as blood flow increases throughout the face and body. Blood flow will also increase in the brain. The individual will experience feelings of profound relaxation and contentment as beneficial neurotransmitters are released in the brain. When in this deep state, the mind/body’s regenerative repair chemicals (parasympathetic hormones) and stabilizing neurotransmitters such as serotonin, endorphins and dopamine are released, which restore good brain function. Audio-Visual Entrainment contributes to this restoration by providing a stress-break, increasing cerebral blood flow and encouraging impaired neuronal firing which allows the brain to return to normal function.
When the body-mind effects from experiencing AVE are fully appreciated, the experience becomes as regular and beneficial as many other life essentials such as quality sleep, good nutrition, pure water and exercise. Sleep is another area where light and sound stimulation has been shown to be beneficial, contributing to the natural regenerative process of the body and brain.
