Mind Gear uses LEDs in its glasses to produce the strobe effect. We chose them because they produce a safe, cool light that can turn on and off sharply enough to cause the desired response in the brain. We can supply the glasses with red, green, amber, and yellow LEDs as well as combinations. We now offer a White Light option with the PR-2X and XCELR8R systems.
By varying the phasing between the left and right eyes, we produce a number of results. When the left and right LEDs turn on and off at the same time, a focused state useful for concentrating and analysis results. Pulsing them alternately left and right causes a diffuse awareness, more creative and receptive. In addition, varying the pulsed sound from ear to ear offers six possible modes of stimulation. The PR-2X and XCELR8R can also make one eye's LEDs pulse at two or three times the other's rate.
The L/S systems have pre-programmed sequences of pulsed lights and sounds that typically start fast, then slow to the target frequency, and speed up at the end to bring you "back" to normal waking consciousness.
