Brain Power | Mozart Effect

   3 Hours Classical Music For Brain Power - Stimulation Concentration Studying Focus   “Key Components of the Mozart Effect” *  Sage Journals , June 1998  * Abstract: The results of studies intended to replicate the enhancement of spatial-temporal reasoning following exposure to 10 min. of Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major (K.448) have been varied. While some studies have replicated the effect, others have not. We suggest that researchers' diverse choice of dependent measures may account for these varied results. This paper provides a neurophysiological context for the enhancement and considers theoretical and experimental factors, including the choice of dependent measures, the presentation order of the conditions, the selection of the musical composition, and the inclusion of a distractor task, that may contribute to the various findings. More work is needed before practical applications can be derived.

 Patent No. 4834701   Apparatus for inducing frequency reduction in brain wave (Masaki, May 30, 1989) Abstract Frequency reduction in human brain wave is inducible by allowing human brain to perceive 4-16 hertz beat sound. Such beat sound can be easily produced with an apparatus, comprising at least one sound source generating a set of low-frequency signals different each other in frequency by 4-16 hertz. Electroencephalographic study revealed that the beat sound is effective to reduce beta-rhythm into alpha-rhythm, as well as to retain alpha-rhythm. Notes:   Apparatus for inducing frequency reduction in brain wave. Filed July 1985, granted May 1989. Entrainment device and method using audible sound. Does not go into programming with it as it is a relatively short patent.    FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus to induce frequency reduction in human brain wave.

Patent No. 4289121 Method for controlling functional state of central nervous system and device for effecting same

  Patent No. 4289121   Method for controlling functional state of central nervous system and device for effecting same (Kupriyanovich, Sep 15, 1981) Abstract The method consists of subjecting the central nervous system to the effects of rhythmic audio and light signals which are applied simultaneously in accordance with biorhythms corresponding to a stable state of the central nervous system. After setting the initial light and audio signals, the frequency, amplitude and duration of the rhythmic light and audio signals are varied in synchronism according to frequency variations of the biorhythms. The method is carried out with the aid of a device comprising a light pulse pacemaker, an audio pulse pacemaker, pulse frequency, duration and amplitude setting units, modulators of signals produced by the pacemakers, which are controlled by the setting units, and a switch intended to determine the direction of variation of audio and lig
