An Introduction to Brainwave Entrainment

What if I told you there was a technology which could enable you to; reach

meditative states as deep as a Zen monk, to rid yourself of stubborn and

unwanted habits, give you a feeling of almost limitless energy and motivation,

to boost your IQ and increase your learning ability, to gain control over your

emotions and never feel stressed again! Well if youre smart youre probably

feeling pretty sceptical, youre thinking it sounds like the same old hype youve

heard time and time again about a million different products, that all promise

to be the answer to all of your problems . . . am I right?

It is unfortunate that the marketing trend of ridiculously over hyping has

spread so far and wide, because it has caused so much disbelief and yet behind

all of the wild claims flying around there is some truth that an incredibly

powerful process called brainwave entrainment has the potential to

revolutionize the field of personal development, and deliver some remarkable

results. This report has been written to help you separate the fact from thefiction.

A quick browse around the internet and you will find a wealth of information

available on brainwave entrainment, unfortunately a lot of this information is

conflicting and can be confusing regarding exactly what brainwave

entrainment can do and can be used for. This report will give you an

understanding of how your brain becomes entrained and the technology

behind it, what entrainment can be used for, the benefits you can expect and a

look at which products can, and which cant, deliver the benefits that are right

for you.

What is Brainwave Entrainment?

Entrainment is actually a physics term that coined by Christian Huygens in

1665 to describe the phenomena of separate cyclical energies recalibrating to

fall into rhythm with one another. Christian

observed that when two different bodies that

vibrate at different rates are brought together,

they would tend to lock into phase and vibrate

in harmony.

After extensive research and experiments,

scientists and neurologists have found that

this same phenomenon could also be applied

in training the brain.

When a stimulus is introduced to the brain,

whether through the ears, eyes or othersenses, the brain responds by emitting an electrical charge, known as Cortical

Evoked Response. This electrical responses travel throughout the brain to

become what an individual sees and hears.

When the stimulus presented to the brain is a rhythmic stimulus, e.g. drum

beats, the rhythm is reproduced in the brain in the form of these electrical

impulses. When the rhythm becomes fast and consistent enough, the electrical

impulses within the brain start to synchronize with the rhythm. This is called

the Frequency Following Response (FFR). The brain has become entrained to

the frequency and rhythm of the stimulus.

If a tuning fork which

produces a frequency of 350

Hz is struck and then

brought into the vicinity ofanother 350 Hz tuning fork,

the second fork will begin to

vibrate as well. Here, the

first fork is said to have

entrained the second fork.

The strength of this cortical evoked response depends on the type and

effectiveness of the stimulus, which is very important in gaining a significant

result particular for the purpose of entraining the brain.

Importantly these Brain Wave Patterns are not random; they are in fact closely

correlated with your emotions, your thoughts, your state of being, and the

many functions of the various systems of your body. In short, the entire quality

of your life has something to do with these patterns.

This also means that what you do to yourself can influence your brain wave

patterns. Its like a meter that displays the state of your consciousness.

Brainwave Frequencies

There are 5 standard groupings of brainwaves, each of which corresponds to adifferent set of emotional and psychological properties and represents a

different type experience the person displaying them is having. These 5 groups

are named after 5 letters of the Greek alphabet: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and

Gamma.

Brainwaves are measured in Hertz (Hz). 1 Hz means one complete cycle in 1

second i.e. on an EEG you would see a wave with one peak and one trough.

Each image below depicts a one second snapshot of human brainwave activity,

as detected by an EEG.

Delta Waves:

Delta waves are often associated with being fast sleep, hyper-relaxed or in a

deep meditation. Delta waves are also the dominant brainwave in babies up to

about 1 year. Certain frequencies, in the delta range, have been shown to

trigger the body's healing and growth mechanisms.


8/35



Theta Waves:

Theta waves indicate a normal or light sleep, drowsiness or daydreaming, and

creative and imaginative thinking that is led by the subconscious i.e. when

ideas suddenly just come to you. This suggests that Theta waves allow for

easier communication between the conscious and subconscious minds. Theta

waves have also been identified as key in learning, memory and reduction of

stress. This is the standard frequency range for children up to their early

teenage years.

Alpha Waves:

Alpha rates are increased by closing the eyes and relaxing, and can be reduced

by opening one's eyes or any concentrated effort. They are associated with a

fully awake and conscious but relaxed state of mind. When you get back in

from school or work, sit down and put on the TV your brainwaves will be in the

alpha range. This is the typical relaxation range for anyone over the age ofabout 13.


9/35



Beta Waves:

Beta waves are characteristic of an engaged mind, which is alert and well

focused. These are the dominant waves most of us will experience during the

day. They are produced when our attention is directed to the outside world.

They are also used in complex problem solving, having conversations, any form

of active exercise (using motor skills) and in learning new information and

skills. Towards the upper end of the Beta range can indicate stressed or

anxious thoughts.

Gamma Waves:

Gamma waves are found when carrying out very complex motor processes.

When people describe themselves as being in the zone, highly alert and

focused, these are Gamma wave traits. They can also be associated with very

anxious or panic attack type behaviour. Gamma waves are important in

harmonizing and bringing together thoughts being processed in different partsof the brain. They are also produced during hypnotic states.

Between 0.5 and 90Hz are the states and frequencies that comprise the vast

majority of our day to day experiences. In the table on the following two pages

these core frequencies are broken down further and in addition there aresome frequencies outside of this range that correspond to some more rare and

unusual states of consciousness.

Brainwave Synchronisation

Your brain is divided into two sides or hemispheres which are slightly different

from each other. So when you measure the brain waves generated by both

sides of your brain, youll find that most peoples brainwaves are slightly out-

of-phase during normal waking consciousness. The process of bringing the

brain waves of both sides of your brain together is called Brainwave

Synchronization.

In the 1970s and early '80s, a series of studies and brain wave experiments

showed that successful people, regardless of their areas of expertise, such asbusinessmen, musicians, artists, sportsmen, martial arts experts, advanced

meditators, yogis, spiritual teachers, etc., all had a high degree of brainwave

synchronization.

In other words, both hemispheres of their brains were working in harmony

with each other, resulting in one synchronized brain wave pattern in phase (or

almost in phase) with each half of the brain. During moments of deep thought

or creativity, their brain waves would slow down from beta to alpha and even

theta. Both sides of their brains ordinarily out of phase would start working

together in a balanced, synchronized manner.

The Science & History of Brainwave Entrainment

Brainwave entrainment has been noted or used in one form or another forcenturies, Shamanistic societies use of drum beats is actually a form of

brainwave entrainment as are ritual drumming and rhythmic prayer found in

cultures throughout the world and are often used in religious ceremonies to

induce trance states. In 200 A.D. Ptolemy noted the psychology effects of

flickering sunlight generated by a spinning wheel.

The first recorded entrainment phenomenon was noted by the Dutch scientist,

Christian Huygens, in 1665. He observed that a number of pendulum driven


13/35



clocks in a room fell into synchronization with each other over time. However

it wasnt until the early 1900s when Hans Berger did the first systematic study

of the electrical activities in the human brain that the stage was set for our

modern understanding of brainwave entrainment to start to develop.

History's first brainwave recording, obtained by Hans Berger in 1924.

In 1929 just 5 years after the first brainwave recording, Hans Berger discovered

the alpha waves. Not long after this, researchers noted that flickering lights can

alter brainwave patterns. This is called photic stimulation. In the 1930s and

'40s, with then-new EEG equipment and strobe lights, W. Gray Walter

performed some of the first scientific research on the subject. In 1959,

Chatrian observed that sound stimulation can lead to brainwave

synchronization (auditory entrainment).

By the 1960s, scientists were experimenting with brainwave entrainment as a

tool for use in various medical procedures and treatments. M.S. Sadove, an

anaesthesiologist, used photic stimulation to reduce the use of anaesthesia in

surgery. In 1968, Joe Kamiya published an article in Psychology Today on

neurofeedback (biofeedback). He noted that EEG frequency states correspond

to psychological states, and thus was the first person to introduce the idea that

people can be trained to voluntarily control their brainwaves.

Also in the 1960s and '70s, interest in altered states led many artists to become

interested in the subject, most notably Brion Gysin who, along with a

Cambridge math student, invented the Dreammachine. From the 1970s to date

there have been numerous studies and various machines built that combine

light and sound. These efforts were aided by continued development of micro

circuitry and other electronic breakthroughs allowed for ever more

sophisticated equipment for measuring and inducing brainwave entrainment.


14/35



Two of the most important breakthroughs were the discovery of binaural

beats, first published in Scientific American in 1973 by Gerald Oster and the

development of Isochronic tones by Arturo Manns. Combined with more

sophisticated equipment, these discoveries led to many attempts to use

brainwave entrainment in the treatment of numerous psychological and

physiological conditions. We will have a closer look at these types of

entrainment methods later.

Other researchers such as Dr. Norman Shealy, Dr. Glen Solomon and others

experimented on brainwave entrainment for headache relief, serotonin and

HGH release and general relaxation, and in 1981, Michael Hutchison wroteMegaBrain, outlining the many possible uses of brainwave entrainment from

meditation to superlearning.

Harold Russel (Ph.D.) and John Carter (Ph.D.) of the University of Houston used

brainwave entrainment to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and other

learning disorders, testing IQ before and after treatment. They noted that their

subjects showed a consistent 5 to 7 point increase in their IQ score.

What is Brainwave Entrainment Good For?

There are simply too many uses and potential applications of brainwave

entrainment to explain them all here, that would take a book by itself! Also

there are many anecdotal claims that are difficult to verify as the perceptions

of what is being experienced will always vary between one individual andanother in any subjective experience. However there are a few key areas it is

important to highlight.

Stimulation of production of beneficial hormones

Activation of Whole Brain Functioning

Increase in learning potential

Reduction in anxiety and stress

Access to the subconscious mind


15/35



Experiences of increased energy and motivation

Entry into deep meditative states

Overcoming Addictions

These are all effects that are reported by the vast majority of people regularly

using brainwave entrainment, have been well documented and confirmed

under strict scientific conditions. These man benefits to brainwave

entrainment are discussed in more detail in the following pages.

Vital Hormones Production in Slow Brain Waves States

Numerous experiments have been conducted to study the correlation between

slow brain waves patterns and the production of body vital hormones:

melatonin, dopamine, DHEA and cortisol. The findings show that the amount

of melatonin and DHEA is significant boosted in the brain during alpha and

theta states. In certain cases, it was reported that the DHEA level could

increase by at least 50% while melatonin a tremendous 300%, with an average

increase of 100%. On the other hand, the production of cortisol (a stress

hormone normally produced in high-beta brain waves), declined by nearly 50%!

By using specific frequencies an individual can stimulate certain glands to

produce desired hormones. Beta-endorphin has been modulated in studies

using alpha-theta brain wave training, as has dopamine with binaural beats

Why are these hormones important to you?

MelatoninMelatonin is the hormone that helps you to create restful sleep and restoring

your physical energy during sleeping. When you are in deep sleep, the brain

will produce numerous rejuvenating substances and perform self-healing.

However, due to the aging process, we make less melatonin and thus, the

inability to sleep soundly can dramatically decrease the quality of our life and

greatly accelerate the aging process. New research has even revealed that

melatonin is a powerful antioxidant.

16/35



DHEA

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a steroid hormone, a chemical cousin of

testosterone and estrogen which is produced by the adrenal glands. DHEA is a

precursor or the source ingredient for virtually every hormone that your body

needs. News reports have even referred to DHEA as a superhormone. When

DHEA levels are low in your body, you are more susceptible to aging and

disease; and when theyre high, the body is at its peak vibrant, healthy and

able to combat disease effectively. It also acts as a buffer hormone to stress

related hormones such as the cortisol. The total quality of your life is

influenced by DHEA and again, DHEA declines as you age.

CortisolCortisol is yet another vital hormone that is secreted by the adrenal glands.

This hormone involves in the functions of proper glucose maintenance,

inflammatory response, blood pressure regulation, insulin release for blood

sugar maintenance and etc. However, higher and more prolonged levels of

cortisol in the bloodstream could lead to negative effects such as chronic

stress, impaired cognitive performance, increased of abdominal fat and etc. In

fact, cortisol has even been termed as the stress hormone. For that reason, it

is very important for the system to activate the bodys relaxation responseso

that the body could return back to normal following a stressful event. DHEA is

one of the hormones that act as a buffer to cortisol.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that has many functions in the brain, including

important roles in behaviour and cognition,voluntary movement,motivation

and reward, sleep, mood, attention, and learning. Dopamine production is

heavily associated with reward and the learning of new behaviour. In nature,we learn to repeat behaviours that lead to maximize rewards. Dopamine is

therefore believed to provide a teaching signal to parts of the brain responsible

for acquiring new behaviour. It is also commonly associated with the pleasure

system of the brain, providing feelings of enjoyment and reinforcement to

motivate a person proactively to perform certain activities. Dopamine is

released by naturally rewarding experiences such as food, sex, drugs, and

neutral stimuli that become associated with them.

Whole Brain Functioning

Whole brain functioning is a studied phenomena where the left and right

hemispheres of the brain think "co-operatively" instead of combatively. You've

heard of people being "left brain" or "right brain" dominant, right? Left brain

thinkers tend to be more logical, rational thinkers. They're objective,

mathematical, calculated. Right brain thinkers are more artistic, subjective,

intuitive and creative. The problem with being single-hemisphere dominant

can be the internal conflict that occurs when, in life, a situation arises that

requires strengths from both hemispheres.

When the 2 hemispheres of your brain begin to work in unison, giving you

access to far greater understanding and problem solving capacities. Thisincludes such things as increased learning ability, creativity, intuition, mental

clarity, and intelligence, plus an increase in latent abilities we all have but

usually do not exhibit because we use such a small portion of our brains.

Increased Learning Potential

It was proposed in the 1970s that induced alpha brain waves enabled students

to assimilate more information with greater long term retention.

In morerecent times has come more understanding of the role of theta brain waves in

behavioural learning. The presence of theta patterns in the brain has been

associated with increased receptivity for learning and decreased filtering by

the left hemisphere.

In a 1999 study, Thomas Budzynski, worked with 8 struggling college students.

After undergoing audio-visual brainwave stimulation, the students

outperformed a control group and significantly increased their GPA. In a

Leonardo Da Vinci is an excellent example of someone who developed the ability

to use whole brain functioning

separate study, Psychologist Michael Joyce used brainwave entrainment with a

group of 30 children. After a short period of treatment, he observed

improvements in reading and a half year advancement in grade level. Harold

Russel and John Carter, of the University of Houston, used brainwave

entrainment to treat ADD and other learning disorders, testing IQ before and

after treatment. Astonishingly, after treatment the subjects showed a

consistent 5 to 7 point increase in IQ score!

Reduced Anxiety and Stress

An uncontrolled pilot study of Delta binaural beat technology over 60 days hasshown positive effect on self-reported psychological measures, especially

anxiety. There was significant decrease in trait anxiety, and an increase in

quality of life. A randomised, controlled study concluded that binaural beat

audio could lessen hospital acute pre-operative anxiety.

Nothing worth having is ever easy. Everyone faces problems. The difference is,

how you handle those problems. Imagine if you never even see them as

problems to begin with... if it's just easy, somehow, to envisage simple

solutions to hurdles and enjoy the challenge. Successful people thrive on

challenges... you could begin to experience the very same rush!

Tap into your subconscious

Tap into your subconscious to boost your creativity and enhance your intuition.Besides, your subconscious is the path that connects you to the infinite

intelligence. By building the bridge between the conscious and subconscious

parts of your mindyou will sharpen your intuition and perceive things that

others fail to see. Your gut feeling will always lead you to take the right action

and do the things that you have never considered before. Imagine, just

knowing what you needed to do and having the focus, clarity and dedication to

just get out there and do it. Ambitions on the back burner start to come alive...

business ideas take off... the right people suddenly appear at the right time.


19/35



Extra Energy and more motivation

Imagine sleeping less than the averages and yet waking up each morning

feeling energetic and full of enthusiasm. Do you want to reduce your sleeping

time by literally four hours and still maintaining full alertness the next day?

In a lot of cases, the lack of energy we experience from time to time can be

attributed to solely psychological reasons.We also often mistake a feeling ofno energy with boredom. When you are bored, it is usually because you are

dwelling in low frequency mental states. An entrainment frequency designed

to increase your brainwave frequency can give you a sense of mental arousaland excitement, making you feel more energetic.

Entry into Deep Meditative States

Currently one of the primary uses of brainwave entrainment technology is to

get the experience of deep meditations without having to train for years. By

entraining the brain into progressively slower frequencies, people can

experience these deep levels of meditation in a fraction of the time that they

would be able to achieve them by mediation alone.

When people start learning meditation by traditional route they often find

they fall asleep as a result of being in these much more relaxed states for

lengthy periods of time. With entrainment the frequency following response is

used to get you to the desired state much faster and as the brain adaptsallowing you to remain conscious at a more relaxed, slower frequency the

frequency can be slowed again allowing you to move deeper.

Overcoming Addictions

Alpha-theta brainwave training has also been used successfully for the

treatment of addictions. Your brain is pretty stubborn. It is very difficult to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addictionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addiction


20/35



change your behaviours without first changing how things are wired inside

your brain.

There are many research studies that support alpha/theta brainwave training

with alcoholism. In 1989 Eugene Penniston and Paul Kulkosky conducted

research studies with people using brainwave entrainment to tackle alcohol

addictions. They found significant decreases in their depression, cravings for

alcohol and relapses.

Additional Experiences

Here are some additional experiences and effects of brainwave entrainment

that are widely reported:

- Alpha-theta brainwave training has also been used for the recovery of

repressed memories.

- Many people report themselves experiencing a level of happiness and

euphoria without the use of harmful and addictive drugs. Your brain could

naturally produce the same kind of substance that creates the same kind of

feelings.

- Stop your bad habits such as smoking and taking caffeinated drinks. Allows

you to releasing those emotional pains that get trapped in your brain before

you can successfully drop the habits.

- Access advanced states and unlock latent abilities such as lucid dreaming.

Methods of Brainwave Entrainment

There are three main methods currently used for brainwave entrainment;

Binaural Betas, Monaural Beats and Isochronic Tones.

Binaural Beats

Two waveforms combine to produce the binaural beats

In 1973, Dr. Gerald Oster of Mount Sinai Medical Center published a report in

the Scientific American called Auditory Beats in the Brain. In it, he explained

that when tones of different frequencies were presented separately to each

ear, pulsations called binaural beats occurred in the brain, which resulted in

the whole brain becoming entrained to the internal beat and resonating to

that frequency.

The application of the binaural brainwave entrainment process is quite simple.

You hear two pure tones in each ear. Let's say 400 Hertz and 410 Hertz. Each

ear hears a singular tone. Your brain detects the difference between these two

frequencies - and 'produces' a 3rd tone of 10 Hertz inside the brain.

How binaural beats generates a single frequency in the brain


22/35



Even though you perceive this 10 Hz sound, the third tone is not an actual

sound at all; rather, it is an electrical signal that is created as your brain

processes each tone from the left and right ear separately. As the brain

continually processes this 3rd ghost signal, it begins to emulate (or entrain)

to that 10 Hz stimulus.

This phantom 10 Hz signal is created by both sides of the brain working in

unison. This dual processing can lead to a state called hemispheric

synchronization, or whole brain sync. This high function brain state occurs

when both sides of the brain are functioning in tandem.

This is especially useful for entraining the brain to frequencies that are below

the threshold of human hearing as entrainment at these levels cannot be

produced by Isochronic or Monaural beats.

Isochronic Tones (Also referred to as Pulsed or Rhythmic tones)

Isochronic tones played out of each speaker are identically spaced

Isochronic tones, also referred to as Rhythmic Entrainment uses audio

entrainment pulses to entrain the brain; a single tone that is cycled on and off

to produce the beat. The main advantage of using Isochronic tones over

Binaural beats is that they do not require stereo headphones for effective

entrainment. It has also been claimed that the brain adapts to, and as a result

filters out binaural beats with prolonged use, and although there is some

research that supports this hypothesis, there is still conflicting evidence over

this claim.


23/35



Monaural beats

Monaural beats waveform

Monaural beats play both tones in each channel, so the interference pattern

that produces the entrainment beat is present outside your head and again

does not need headphones to be heard.

Combination Methods

3-Point Dynamic Entrainment Audio Process

The 3-Point Dynamic Entrainment Audio Process, combines both Binaural

Beats and Isochronic tones with temporal brainwave entrainment. By matching

all 3 approaches to the same frequency this allows the brain multiple paths onwhich it can entrain all of which are directed towards the same state, this

increases the effectiveness of the entrainment process. The three audio

entrainment technologies utilized within the 3.d.e.a.p system compliment each

other due to their effectiveness and unique benefits. When combined, these

three technologies form an exacting design process that fine tunes every

millisecond of audio to facilitate easy and successful brainwave entrainment.

Temporal Brainwave Entrainment:

This entrainment method relates to the distinction of timing. Brainwaves are

never static. They speed up and slow down. To make the best use of the first

two entrainment methods, we use the brains distinction of time and speed to

direct it towards the varying entrainment rates that ebb and flow. Several

segments of audio are copied, stretched or compressed, then layered and

superimposed to create shifts in the time and tonality of audio effects.


24/35



Temporal entrainment by stretching a segment of audio

This audio augmentation occurs at very specific points along the entrainment

sequence, allowing your brain to match the overall entrainment rates with

ease. Temporal entrainment also assists the brain and rhythms of the body

(such as breathing and heart rate) to speed up or slow down in unison with the

system as a whole.

A good way to think of this effect is playing a record at half speed. The sound

from the record is not only slower, but also lower in tone. Your brain picks up

on these subtle cues to raise brainwave rates or slow them down accordingly.

This means that when a binaural frequency moves from 15 Hz to 10 Hz, there

will be a rhythmic entrainment track that matches that change, slowing in

unison. Furthermore, the temporal entrainment tracks follow each binaural

change by elongating and lowing audio tone to match the slope of the

diminishing entrainment rates.

Spoken words

It is worth noting that entrainment methods are sometimes combined with

hypnotic or suggestible language such as in NeuroLinguistic Programming

which aid in developing new behaviours and breaking habits. While these are

not entrainment methods in themselves, they are often brought together as

the entrainment methods provide an ideal mechanism for guiding the brain


25/35



into the most susceptible and responsive state to take advantage of

instructions to the subconscious.

that in some cases the brain can adapt to the presence of binaural beats and

starts to filter them out, where as the brain doesnt adapt to these rhythmic

tones and ignore them. Rhythm is embedded so deeply into the human brain

and psyche that it always responds to rhythmic frequencies.

Genius Brain PowerBrainwave Entrainment MP3 package includes 2 programs:

Sky Rocket Your IQ and experience Ultra-Deep Relaxation. Together there are a

total of 10 brainwave entrainment audio recordings.

You can listen to the two IQ boosting recordings with your eyes open while you

are working, running errands, commuting to and from work, pretty much

getting on with anything in your life. These tracks are mixed with classical

music from Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Pachelbel, Gluck and Mendelssohn:

There are 8 further tracks designed for relaxation; you start with Light

Meditation in the Alpha frequency with a follow up Deep Meditation in Theta

Holosync

Holoysnc is one of most well known Brainwave entrainment programs out

there, and the first one I came across when I began looking into Brainwave

Entrainment. Today it is still one of the most comprehensive entrainment

packages available, however it is also one of most expensive.

Holosync uses a binaural beats entrainment method, combined with spoken

words tailored to alter behaviours in the subconscious.

You listen to the CD's for an hour everyday. As you progress, you'll be sent a

new series of CD's, each one taking you to a deeper level of brain activity.

Although they offer a free trial CD at their website, this CD is in practice more

of an extended advertisement for their product than an actual trial of the

program.

The introductory level cost $179 and does come with a lot of bonus material:

- Quietude: Alpha Wave creating soundtrack

- Oasis: Generates theta level brainwaves

- Super Longevity: 2 tracks designed to stimulate production of beneficialhormones

- A multimedia online course master your emotions, your actions and your life

- Support from their coaching staff

The problem is if you stick with the program, a couple of months down the line

youll be ready to order the next level , and then the one after that, which

quickly builds up to a total cost of over $1800 for the entire program.

Brain Evolution System

The Brain Evolution System is unique in that it utilizes multiple levels of

brainwave entrainment concurrently to ensure that your brain is entrained in a

way that matches your complex brainwave patterns. This is the 3.D.E.A.P

combination entrainment method discussed earlier.

There are 6 levels to the program, all of which are delivered at the start so

theres no re-ordering to worry about. The following graph shows a simplified

"Entrainment Map" for the entire six-level Brain Evolution System:

As you can see, the entrainment frequencies shift and move quite variably

throughout the program. You can also see that several layers of entrainment

are applied (indicated by the blue arcs and horizontal lines above), to help

attract the multiple frequencies of the brain itself.

The Brain Evolution System comes with a free months supply of Acuity a mind

sharpening supplement, and a free lifetimes subscription to the personal

development program simple-ology.

buy, and after that there is a full, no questions asked, money back guarantee

for the next 7 months.

This is excellent value for money at $297, which you can pay over 3

instalments.

Neuorprogrammer2

Neuroprogrammer2 (NP2) combines brainwave entrainment, hypnosis,

visualization and a couple of other psychological techniques designed to help

you entrain your brain and enhance your mental abilities.

Using the principles of brainwave entrainment the NeuroProgrammer is able to

make the mind more receptive to Psychological intervention. NP2 can guide

your mind to a relaxed, receptive mental state, increasing the success rate of

suggestions and enhancing the lucidity of mental imagery. The program will

then automatically use your choice of applied psychological techniques such as

Suggestions, Affirmations or Hypnotic Scripts.

These methods can help you make dramatic changes in your behaviour,

thought patterns and emotions. While in the receptive state created by NP2 ,

these techniques can bypass mental and emotional barriers that would

normally make the mind resistant to change. If you are looking to breakspecific habits, or create specific new behaviours for yourself, NP2 is a good

choice.

When you purchase NP2, you also get:

Over 125 High Quality Audio/Visual Sessions

Hypnosis Scripts and Editing Tools

Create your own Sessions (Professional version only)

Built-In selection of Affirmations / Suggestions / Sound Files and Scripts

Quantum Mind Power with The Morry Method (QMP)

This is one of the newer products to come to market and has made quite an

impact. QMP uses a combination of Isochronic and Monaural tones. These

methods are more effective for brain wave entrainment than programmes

which use only binaural beats. You can compare the Isochronic and Monaural

tone wave patterns to see that the peaks and valleys are far more distinct,

hence far more effective

"The Morry Method" uses a proprietary protocol developed for presenting

various stimuli to the brain and mind. This allows the Brainwave entrainment

to be presented to the brain in conjunction with noise cancelling background

sounds and words spoken using hypnotic suggestion simultaneously without

losing the benefits of these individual components,

The package also comes with the following bonuses:

- A recording is designed to help with the inevitable loss of "action" that tendsto follow any self help/improvement type of program.

- A Whole Brain Gratitude Meditation will help you with direction and intent

and change your current view of the world.

- A recording is designed to help guide you to balance your emotions and

experience happiness.

Quantum Mind Power with The Morry Method has a 100% risk free money-

back guarantee For 8 Weeks. QMP is on sale for $147

Conclusions & Recommendations

Approximately a third of people notice some of the benefits of brainwaveentrainment instantly after the first use; particularly reduced stress, less

anxiety & clarity of thinking, and the vast majority of people experience most

of these effects within the first week.

In order to get the most out of whatever brainwave entrainment program you

decide to follow, consistent daily use is best. Almost everyone following this

advice reports in addition to the above benefits, an improved awareness and

control over their emotions after the

first month. Beyond this the benefits

and times for when these are

experienced begin to vary more

between users. Which when you think

about it makes sense, as

synchronization between the brains

hemispheres develops, it is the areaswe are least familiar with using that we

will notice most when we see a sudden

improvement.

Due to our individual differences it is

worth bearing in mind that there is no

all purpose one size fits all answer to Which is the best Brainwave

Entrainment Program? Rather each program has different strengths and will

be suited to different people with different goals and different levels of

experience.

If you are a professional or experienced user of brainwave entrainment

technology, then I would suggest looking at either the Brainwave Generator or

NeuroProgrammer 2 (Professional edition). The high degree of customization,

available in both these pieces of software and the ability to create your own

programs will allow you to target the specific benefits you are looking for.

Example:

To someone who has previously

found it very difficult to visualise

images, even a small increase in this

ability will seem like a big leap

forward and be very noticeablewhere as that benefit would

probably not be picked up by

someone who is already very adept

at visualisation.


33/35



However these products lack the customer support and structure of some of

the other programs so they can be more difficult to pick up or to get past any

obstacles you may run into. There is also the potential for a more

inexperienced user to feel little benefit or even risk doing themselves harm by

creating conflicting sessions.

For the vast majority of people and definitely for anyone new to brainwave

entrainment there is one product which is really leading the way, this is: The

Brain Evolution System. Now its a close call between the Holosync and Brain

Evolution Systems on a lot of fronts, both offer a high quality product that have

distinct well designed levels that continue to push you forward and develop asyou progress. Also both back that up with excellent support and customer

services resources.

However overall there are a few points which tip the balance in favour of the

Brain Evolution System. Personally I think the 3.D.E.A.P entrainment method

gives the Brain Evolution System the edge, it seems to give quicker and more

effective results.

The first reason for this is that brainwaves are dynamic. That means they dont

follow a simple linear pattern, but rather are constantly changing; they shift

around and move up and down depending on jour environment. Most

entrainment programs don't consider this feature and the complexity of how

brainwaves work. As a result, they attempt to force the listener down a static,

linear route, which can result in stagnation, and less effective entrainment.

Secondly, the brain doesnt just operate at one frequency at any given time butactually creates a variety of brainwave frequencies simultaneously. Most

entrainment programs, Holosync included attempt to address just the

dominant frequency, which again often leads to frustration and poor results,

especially in the longer term.

The 3.D.E.A.P technology matches this natural processing. It is just as dynamic,

its entrainment stimuli moving and shifting just like regular brainwaves, and

producing a number of entrainment frequencies at the same time. This means


34/35



the brain adapts and follows the entrainment pathways easier, which in turn

leads to faster more effective results.

This key feature of the Brain Evolution System is even more remarkable when

you consider the fact that the Holosync program is over 6 times more

expensive!

One more feature that really stands out in favour of the Brain Evolution

System, is the no questions asked money back guarantee for the entire 7

months, on top of a completely free 21 day trial. In my experience you know a

product is good when a company is so confident that it delivers exactly whatthey say, that they offer that kind of a guarantee.

The truth is theres only ever so much you can get from just reading about a

subject, and neither should you just take my word for it. Sooner or later you

have to give it a go and experience the results for yourself, and I think the

Brain Evolution System offer gives you just the opportunity to do that. You can

sign up to use the system completely free for 21 days, and if you arent happy

with the results youve lost nothing, and youll have gained far more insight

and understanding than you can ever get from reading this report or anything

else around the subject. If you stick with it and then change your mind months

down the line you can still return the product, get all your money back and

youve still lost nothing!

I hope youve found this report useful, and are looking forward to gettingstarted experiencing the benefits of brainwave entrainment for yourself.
