Blog — Audio-Visual Entrainment

“What frequency do I want to use?” “What session should I select?” These are probably the most common questions people ask us here at Mind Alive.In our book “The Rediscovery of Audio-Visual Entrainment” we focused a lot on the frequency of the flashing of the lights and the pulsing of the tones as the cause of the benefits of Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE). Specific brainwaves were associated with certain characteristics. For example, beta brain waves (12...

Sharing our Greatest Hits from 2023! We would like to share our most popular posts on our Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) pages in 2023. 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...

Many years ago, after reviewing the research on using CES for ADHD, we decided to combine our ADHD sessions on the ALERT (now since discontinued) to create the ALERT Pro (also discontinued) Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) devices with Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES), as we found that adding CES boosted the effect of the AVE on ADHD symptoms. Our current devices with both AVE and CES are the DAVID Delight Pro  and DAVID Premier which include sessions specifically for...

It’s commonly reported and believed that using devices with blue lights at bedtime is unhealthy for our sleep hygiene. As a result, at Mind Alive, we are often asked why we recommend using blue or a blue/green blend on our multicolor eyeset to help improve sleep.

by Dave Siever, Nov 2022Back around 2000, we recognized some clinical limitations with Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE). Using fixed-frequency protocols, we had 40 sessions available in the Paradise device model that we were building at the time. Despite having so many protocols, our customers still wanted more, because the difference of a simple 0.3 Hz change in frequency could produce clinical effects in either positive or negative ways. Then there was the added problem of trying...
