Sharing our Greatest Hits from 2025!
We are shaking things up from past years and sharing our most popular posts on our Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages in 2025. So please enjoy whether this is the first time seeing the post or a review!
Most often, we post about the technologies that we use in our work Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE), Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES), transcranial DC Stimulation (tDCS), and Microcurrent Electrotherapy (MET), but we also like to share interesting articles we come across about the brain, mental health, how physical fitness helps keep our brains young, etc.

When using Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE), Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) is increased. 🧠
👉 CBF is associated with many forms of mental disorders, including anxiety, depression, attentional issues, behavior disorders, and cognitive decline. CBF tends to lower as we age.

Sharing a study completed on using Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) for Pseudobulbar Affect - AVE therapy effectively reduces PBA symptoms, demonstrating lasting benefits at a 3-month follow-up. This study supports AVE as a promising nonpharmacological treatment for PBA, encouraging further research on its application to other neurological conditions.

Sharing a podcast Dave was on:
Join Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD (the man who has read over 500,000 brain scans), Dr. Mari Swingle (author of i-Minds), and host Pete Jansons for one of the most entertaining and eye-opening episodes of the NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast to date. This week’s guest is Dave Siever, founder of Mind Alive Inc. and creator of the DAVID Premier device — a revolutionary Audio-Visual Entrainment tool designed to combat brain fog, burnout, and post-COVID crashes. From pirate anthems to cutting-edge neuroscience, we explore cerebral spinal fluid, mood recovery, detoxification, and why traditional sleep aids may be making things worse. Packed with science, storytelling, and a few sea shanties, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

We had a busy day yesterday at the YEG Empowering YOU event! We offered Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) demos of the Coffee Break Alpha 15-minute session which were well received. Many more people now know about this helpful technology. Thank you to Norquest College for the event space. Congrats to the organizer Melaida Corpuz for putting together such a valuable event.

Yale scientists traced gamma brain waves to thalamus-cortex interactions. This article explains why Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) works so well at the gamma frequency and explains the loss of alpha that Dave sees on qEEGs.
Phase-amplitude coupling:
The relationship between alpha and gamma waves is best understood through a mechanism called phase-amplitude coupling (PAC).
Phase: This refers to the specific point in the cycle of the slower alpha wave (8–12 Hz).
Amplitude: This refers to the power or strength of the faster gamma wave (30–140 Hz).
In phase-amplitude coupling, the phase of the slow alpha wave modulates the amplitude of the fast gamma wave. Specifically, researchers have shown that gamma power is at its lowest at the trough of the alpha wave cycle and highest at the peak.
Alpha as a "pulsed inhibitor"
Instead of alpha being a literal subharmonic, it acts as a gating or inhibitory mechanism that controls the timing of gamma activity.
The alpha rhythm, with its regular cycle of about 100 milliseconds, periodically inhibits or "silences" local neural firing.
This periodic inhibition creates brief windows of opportunity for gamma bursts to occur, effectively shaping the timing of high-frequency information processing.
This mechanism is thought to be crucial for attention, allowing the brain to suppress irrelevant information and focus on specific tasks.

Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) is a technique that uses pulses of light and sound at specific frequencies to gently and safely guide the brain 🧠 into various brainwave patterns.
By altering your brainwave frequencies, you can boost your mood, improve sleep patterns, sharpen your mind, and increase relaxation levels, all with the simple push of a button!
