Homebrew Brainwave Entrainment (work in progress)

Questions? Feedback? Contact me

For more than a decade now (e.g. Mitch Altman / Lady Ada), hobbyists have the ability to build brainwave entrainment machines (also called called "brain machines" or "mind machines"). Let's build one too (and let's try and figure out what we're doing).

Useful links (some intro, some on the verge of raw data) about brainwave entrainment

• Wikipedia entry

• Good introduction (also an interesting post on theta waves).

• Tips by CraigT

• The basics of brainwaves at Anna Weiss center

• Articles and research at Monroe institute

• Mindplace support forum [check out their soundcloud page for audio mp3 entrainment sessions. Looking for visuals to stare at? Try this ].

• A thread (by me) at the Minpdlace forum about the machine(s) I'm trying to build, and links recommended to me there:

  • How Our Mind Works

  • Suggestions for getting the best from AVS (by CraigT)

  • What do you see and why do you use your machine? (a "trip report" kinda thread. ובאותו עניין: פודקסט בעברית על התנסויות במערכת לוסיה 3)

  • PDF doc describing sessions for a Mindplace machine called Proteus as timelines of frequencies (source). [One of my most valuable discoveries so far: tried and tested frequency sessions, each with a short text description].

• Isocronic.io (audio-only webapp). Has Many presets [To do: see if we can migrate the data].
  

• Brainwave Frequency listing (any specific frenquency anyone ever had a theory about 😉).

About this machine

• The code (based on Chris Sparnicht / Mitch altman)

• Machine's session chart [cruder than the Proteus charts. We'll need to rewrite the code to be able to do them].
