MindStereo
acts much like any ordinary media player. It has a playlist and an equalizer.
It supports reverb, echo and other effects. It is compact, stylish in design,
supports nearly all digital media formats, CDs, DRM protected audio and Net
Radio such as Shoutcast. It even supports visual plugins. But there is one
thing that separates Mind Stereo from other players - while the music or the
visualizations are playing, Mind Stereo is subtly modifying the audio and
visual patterns to affect the neural activity of your brain. This is a process
known as Brainwave Entrainment, and it can be used to create mental states
ranging from relaxation and meditation to concentration, creativity or energy.
MindStereo
embeds entrainment into audio and visuals in a number of ways:
- Sound
modulation, effects and filters
-
Binaural beats & and other tone-based entrainment
-
Flash integration into visual plugins
-
AudioStrobe (for use with compatible LED glasses)
Net
Radio - Many people may not realize it, but there are literally
thousands of internet radio stations available today, and dozens of new
stations are added every day. Net radio provides nonstop high quality music of
infinite variety, including music that is ideal for brainwave entrainment.
Stations featuring music in the grain of Ambient, Atmospheric, Meditation,
Sleep, Trance, Nature sounds, etc, make ideal carriers for neural patterns.
The ability to use radio as a carrier for entrainment makes a lot of sense - a
common complaint of regular entrainment users is that sessions get boring
after a while, or they lose their "punch" after a few months of use.
Integrating a constantly unique experience into your session will undoubtedly
help solve this problem and provide for a richer, more effective experience
every time. Never have the same mental journey twice!

Brainwave-Enhanced
Visual Plugins - Every
media player has visual plugins and there are hundreds online to choose from
and download. These plugins are typically very creative and colorful - even
hypnotic. In other words, they are perfect for brainwave entrainment! The
great thing about Mind Stereo is that in addition to rendering these plugins,
it adds a flash effect that contributes to the entrainment present in the
audio. Sit and watch any visualization for 10 minutes - you will be amazed by
the effects this combination can produce.

Playlists
- A unique feature of MindStereo is the ability to add an unlimited number of
sound files to a playlist which will be applied as a continuous background to
an ongoing brainwave entrainment session. So, for example, a 40 minute CD of
10 musical pieces could be used with a single 40 minute session. The files in
the playlist will automatically play one after another while the session's
frequencies continue their course. Additionally, there are two other playlists
for Sessions and Affirmations, that act in much the same way, giving you the
ability to repeat or shuffle sessions and affirmations.

Use
Mind Stereo passively
in
the background
|
|
|
MS can
easily be used while you work, play, exercise, brainstorm or during any other
activity. You can listen to it in the background, playing the music you would
normally play while you work or study.
Features
such as Mini Mode, Tray Mode, or TaskBar Mode allow
you to use control miniature versions of MS in screen locations that are out
of the way.
Mind
Stereo in TaskBar Mode
Even used
passively, Mind Stereo has a profound effect. You could use it to enhance your
focus or creativity. MS could be used to keep you calm and relaxed in a
frustrating work environment. You could use it while you workout, helping to
enhance the "zone". All of this can be done, while listening to a playlist of
your favorite music, right from your computer.
Use
it more often
It is easy
to use Mind Stereo on a regular basis. You don't even need to make time for
it. Do you listen to music while you work, study, or perform other activities?
If so, why not enhance it and grow your brain?
Academic
Benefits
Because
Mind Stereo can easily be used in the background as you work, it is perfect
for students and academics. Use the program to play music that you find
non-distracting, and let the technology bring you into a state of higher
focus, reduced frustration and increased memory.
Use
during Exercise, Massage, Martial Arts or Yoga
Not
surprisingly, using entrainment during physical activities such as yoga or
martial arts is a very popular and rapidly spreading method. Professional
athletic coaches were one of the first professional groups to realize the
power of entrainment and apply it to their field. If you can listen to music
through your computer speakers while you exercise, you can use Mind Stereo to
help you focus, or enter the "zone", and to relax and recover afterwards.

Use
MindStereo
as
your primary brain stimulation device
|
|
|
As a
primary entrainment device, there has never been a more fully featured
product. In addition to supporting unlimited musical playlists and
brain-enhanced visual plugins, Mind Stereo also supports nearly all forms of
audio/visual stimulation, including such popular methods as binaural beats or
AudioStrobe LED glasses. Mind Stereo can generate white noise, isochronic
tones, monaural beats and more.
All of
this can be precisely controlled using the Session Editor and equalizer
functions. You can create your own completely unique sessions, use the
sessions included, or import hundreds of sessions created by other users. You
control the carrier, the background, the frequencies, and everything else.
Relaxation
/ Meditation
If you are
interested in deeper meditation, Mind Stereo is an incredible tool to have at
your disposal. In the same way the neural patterns can be used effectively for
concentration or energy, they can also be used for relaxation and for
achieving deeper states of mind. The ability to easily adjust any parameters
of the entrainment means you can create a unique experience, customized
specifically to your preference. Everyone is different. For example you may
find celtic or ethnic music relaxing, while finding nature sounds irritating.
Or, you may find regular music distracting and prefer ambience or
environmental soundscapes. Whatever your preference, Mind Stereo allows you to
experiment with the settings and create a unique experience tailored
specifically to your mind. A number of meditation sessions are included -
alpha, theta, delta, schumann resonance, and more. Net Radio presets of all
types are also included (ambient, classical, nature, ethnic, and so on).
Additionally, using the visual plugins is an amazingly powerful way to wind
down quickly, and begin your meditation session in a trance-like, peaceful
state.
Hypnosis
The visual
plugin feature of Mind Stereo can be particularly useful for hypnosis (or
self-hypnosis). Many users find they can quickly achieve a trance-like state
by utilizing the brain-enhanced visualizations. Visual plugins can be the
modern day equivalent of the hypnosis spira or the swinging pocket watch.
Combining the psychological effects of mesmerizing visuals with the
neurological effects of brainwave entrainment, has a rapid and profound
effect, even with those not usually susceptible to hypnosis.

Mind
Stereo for Brain Training
|
|
|
People
working with specific brainwave protocols or neurofeedback will find Mind
Stereo to be a priceless tool. After a brainmap is done, this program can be
used to help promote necessary neural rhythms.
Mind
Stereo is ideal for home use and gives clients the option to stimulate neural
rhythms using their favorite music, in either CD or digital form. Or, if they
have a particular genre they prefer, MS can tune into any online radio station
- jazz, rock, country, pop and more. This can be particularly useful for
clinicians or professionals working with children, who are often resistent to
sitting down, focusing on feedback or listening to boring repetitive sounds.
