Academic Performance
Experience better focus, memory, concentration, and attention with our innovative solutions
Welcome to our pharmaceutical-free, non-invasive, and easy-to-use approach to enhance focus and reduce the stress of school and studying using clinically proven Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) and/or Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES)!
Our DAVID series product line is comprised of portable, hand-held devices with accessories that will help students achieve peak mental performance, improve memory, reduce stress, get better sleep, increase energy levels, and even combat the blues.
The primary differences between devices lie in the technologies included and the number of available sessions. To help you choose the right option, we’ve created a helpful guide: https://mindalive.com/blogs/blog/which-device-should-i-get
The Science Behind Stress and AVE
When the brain perceives stress, it redirects cerebral blood flow away from the cortex in the brain into the body core to prepare for fight or flight. This was an advantageous evolutionary adaptation for our ancestors; unfortunately, it's the opposite of what present-day students need. Brainwave activity is slowed into greater alpha and theta frequencies, similar to what is seen in those with ADHD, leaving a student more distractible, impulsive, and hyperactive. This behavior, in turn, impairs the student’s ability to study and write exams, thus increasing stress. AVE has been shown to produce dramatic increases in cerebral blood flow, efficient brain activity, and sound mental health.
Many schools have initiated AVE programs to benefit students and staff alike.
Clinically Tested Sessions for Optimal Results
Our sessions are designed based on the latest research findings to ensure the most effective results. They have been thoroughly tested and supported by research articles on various topics, including:
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
- Stress reduction
- Sleep problems
- Improved mood and mental sharpness
- Balance improvement in older adults
- Reduced worry
- Enhanced concentration and memory in college students
The sessions also include our proprietary randomization process, which helps encourage healthy dissociation and enhance the entrainment process.
User-Friendly Design
The design on each device panel is user-friendly. For example, The DAVID Premier has an LED display with a menu making it easier than ever to navigate and select sessions. Each product page has an explainer video in the Support tab to get you started.
A Legacy of Innovation
Mind Alive Inc. has been a leader in designing and manufacturing brain performance products for over 40 years. Our extensive research continually reveals new applications for this groundbreaking technology.
