Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) devices
Awaken the Power of Your Mind
In 1984, Mind Alive Inc. (formerly known as Comptronic Devices Ltd. produced the D.A.V.I.D. 1 (Digital Audio/Visual Integration Device). This was the first high-quality brainwave entrainment device used. Since then, Mind Alive Inc., has designed the DAVID PAL series and continues to research and develop new products. All are thoroughly tested for durability, reliability and effectiveness. The success of these devices is due to their portability, easy programmability and relatively low cost when compared to other treatment methods.
Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) is a non-pharmaceutical approach used world wide in assisting people from all walks of life to promote better health and increase relaxation using flashes of lights and pulses of tones. High-quality brainwave entrainment devices gently and safely guide the brain into various brain wave patterns reducing and relieving the symptoms of Stress and Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Depression, Insomnia, Autism, Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia, as well as increasing creativity and improving academic and sports performance.
Brainwave Patterns Explained
Brainwave patterns are commonly grouped into four categories: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta. Each brainwave pattern is associated with various states of mind.
Beta Waves are quick, low amplitude waves of 14 to 40 times per second (Hz). Beta brainwave patterns are generated naturally when in an awake, focused and alert state of consciousness.
Alpha Waves are between 8 and 13 Hz and occur during sensorial rest (eg. when the eyes are closed), intellectual relaxation, deep relaxation or meditation. Alpha brainwave rhythms produce: peaceful feelings, warm hands and feet, a sense of well-being, improved sleep, improved academic performance, increased productivity in the workplace, reduced anxiety and improved immune functioning. It is believed that many creative geniuses, such as Einstein, were in a semi-permanent Alpha state.
Alpha/Theta Border are the Schumann Resonance and the State Five Meditation sessions. At the Alpha/Theta border (7 to 8 Hz), exceptional insights and personal transforming experiences can occur.
Theta Waves are between 4 and 8 Hz and are commonly referred to as the dream or "twilight" state. Theta is associated with hypnogogic states, REM and dreaming. Memory development is enhanced in this state. In the Theta brainwave state, memory is improved (particularly long term memory), and access to unconscious material, reveries, free association, sudden insight and creative ideas is increased.
Delta Waves are observed when in a sleeping state. As we fall asleep the dominant natural brainwave becomes Delta. Delta waves are the slowest of brainwaves spanning from 1 to 4 Hz in frequency. There is growing evidence that individuals may maintain a slightly conscious state while in Delta.
