Re: Alternative Methods? [1 Attachment]

,Ah, thank god for researchers.  Because alpha is largest in the posterior brain, it is related to visual processing.  What these guys showed, without quite saying so, 40 years ago is that what Les Fehmi calls " open focus awareness " (no visual fixation, in their terms) produces synchronous alpha.  When you close focus, which is a beta state, alpha goes away and it becomes desynchronized.

Checkout this study, I think it may be of interest. ZOn Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 7:12 AM, duquesne97217 <ryon@...> wrote:

 

In my quest for theta, I found that binaural beats is/are

totally ineffectual with me but that on occasion, the strobe test

part of EEG exams has put in me in both alpha and theta states

lasting up to 48 hours; the first time at 8 Hz and once again at

4 Hz. I had heard that it was possible but I hav to say that I

was amazed that I could walk around on the dge of delta for nearly

two days and still be awake and fully conscious.

Th " problem " is that such entrainment was unpredictable: the strobe

didn't always produce an effect, and when it did, it was at a

purely random frequency but there were also times when that same

strobe test produced no effects at all.

While in some ways better than biofeedback, there are some big

flaws associated with this kind of visual entrainment. Does

anyone here have any ideas on how to get reliable results from

this technique to get the brain wave frequncy that I want; I've

tried using a small strobe light but got nothing but a headache.
