When the noise has color and is healthy

Imagine a special sound that could neutralize all background and annoying noise. Just after a few seconds of listening, your whole world seems quieter and calmer. Your productivity climbs, as your concentration intensifies. If listening in bed, you find it easier to go to sleep, as all noise distractions are eliminated. Problems such as tinnitus and ADHD start to gently simmer away.

This is the scientifically tested world of colorful noises. You might have heard of "white noise" before. It's a special sort of sound, which blocks out background noise and helps boost concentration levels. It also has two close relatives: Pink Noise and Brown Noise. Each achieves the same objective, but they sound slightly different.

White Noise sounds more like radio static, Pink Noise sounds more like a natural cascade, and Brown Noise sounds like low-pitched, ocean wind. All color noises are computer generated according to a particular mathematical model, to ensure they operate at their most effective.

White Noise Benefits

White Noise is a static-like noise that covers the entire audio spectrum blocking out all background noise. Great for enhanced focus, concentration , tinnitus and ADHD assistance, eliminating background noise distractions, and much more.

Example of whine noise sound:

Pink Noise Benefits

Pink Noise has a deeper frequency than White. It sounds like a natural waterfall. It's ideal for increasing concentration, intense study periods, soothing headaches and calming children.

Example of pink noise sound:

Pink Noise Benefits

Brown Noise has the deepest frequency. It sounds warm and relaxing, with its low-pitched sea-like sound. For this reason, it's particularly suited for deep sleep, relaxation, and quiet focused reading.

Example of brown noise sound:

New video about Neuro-Programmer 3

The team that developed Neuro-Programmer 3 software has released a new video designed to quickly introduce you to both the foundations of brainwave entrainment, and how to get started to use this software.

This is just the beginning, more videos are coming soon. This video is a great place to start learning!

What Does A Brainwave Entrainment Session Feel Like?

It only takes six minutes for your brain to start entraining.

Brainwave entrainment is a natural phenomenon that occurs when your brainwaves fall into step with an outside stimulus, usually sound and/or light, changing its dominant frequency to match that of the stimulus' frequency.

It happens naturally everyday.

When your mama sang you a lullaby, it wasn't the words so much that put you to sleep. It was the tones emanating from her voice. Your brain matched its own wave frequency to the pattern produced by the tones (thank goodness it wasn't the words--"the cradle will fall"--what's up with that?). Before you could protest that you weren't tired, all those alpha brainwaves had you lulled into a sweet, relaxed state.

And what happened the last time you went to an Ozzie concert? It didn't take long for your brainwaves to duplicate the excited energy bursting from the magnificent bass guitar, did it? You felt charged and one with the sound.

That's entrainment.

So what does it feel like when you listen to a designed brainwave entrainment session?

Well, to start off with, let's find you a quiet place where you won't be interrupted for at least 30 minutes. That means leave your phone in another room.

Okay now, sit or lie down...be comfortable. Loosen your clothes if they're tugging at you. You don't want a wedgy to distract you.
Put on a good pair of HEADPHONES. They are not necessary when using Isochronic Tones but they do ENHANCE the effect by blocking out any distractions....like a plane flying over, or the kids watching t.v. in the other room.
SHUT your eyes. This will immediately signal your brain to go into the alpha state and you will start to feel calm.
Relax your muscles. They will probably twitch here and there until they calm down.
Your nose, ears, or toe may itch. Anything that can itch, may itch. Ignore it and it will go away.
Your saliva production may speed up and you'll swallow more...or you'll drool...whatever is your norm.
You may experience hot flashes, even if you're a guy.
Your eyes may dart back and forth like you are dreaming in REM.
You may notice your body feels heavy, just before you realize it is vibrating or non-existent. You are detaching, standing in the doorway between your conscious and subconscious self.
You are floating.
A flood of light or flashes of light fill your inner perspective.
Strange sounds like buzzing, droning, thunder, or the flapping of wings may draw your attention. You may even hear a voice.
Strong visual impressions with vivid colours and patterns may manifest--the presence of long deceased loved ones in strange landscapes could appear.
An intense state of euphoria and contentment rolls over you. You feel charged and tingly. Time passes in an instant.
Or, if you're sleep deprived, you may fall asleep at this point--but no worries, you'll still receive benefit from the entrainment. It takes practice and focused intention to stay awake.

And when it's all over you'll feel....

Good. Your brain has signaled your body to release serotonin, a"feel good" hormone.
Revitalized. Your body will be charged with a NEW energy.
High. You will experience a natural high from the release of endorphins.
Refreshed. You will feel like someone clicked your "refresh" button and you new again.
Clearheaded. Things won't be so fuzzy now, or they won't be such a problem. You can process information from a different perspective now...and it will bring relief.
Just Plain Happier. With new energy flowing through you, and all of your natural opiates coursing through your veins, how could you not feel happier.

So there you have it.

Brainwave entrainment, no matter what type of session you choose, will bring your mind to a higher level of operation and this is immediately reflected in your body and demeanor.

What is so cool about brainwave training, is that you can use it whenever you want.

You can experience whatever it is you desire...and its as easy as putting on your headphones and listening to your iPod.

You don't need a prescription for this, and there are no ugly side effects.

AND IT FEELS GOOD.

Do you know that all of us can increase our intelligence by playing simple games?

Well, looking for passing one of my certification exams I found this piece of software: HighIQ Pro. This is a new brain training program for Windows that provides you with great selection of brain training tools at an affordable price.

The documentation says that training with this brain training exercise for 19 days, during 20 minutes per day, has resulted in:

60% increase in short term/working memory
40-50% increase in IQ on a time-limited valid IQ test

HighIQPro utilizes the only brain training exercise scientifically demonstrated to improve:

short term & working memory
problem solving IQ - known scientifically as "fluid intelligence" or "Gf".
executive functioning – task focus, task management & self-control / will power

Fluid Intelligence

The concept of fluid intelligence is the reasoning, learning, and problem solving ability in new situations. This is the core component of IQ.

Fluid intelligence (Gf) refers to the ability to reason and to solve new problems independently of previously acquired knowledge. …it allows us to adapt our thinking to a new cognitive problem or situation. Gf is critical for a wide variety of cognitive tasks, and it is considered one of the most important factors in learning.

Dr Susan Jaeggi, cognitive neuroscientist

You can use HighIQPro as a brain trainer in the following situations:

Problem solving and analytic intelligence
Performance on IQ and aptitude tests – including job tests, university entrance exams & professional exams

The gains from the core working memory training module strongly transfer to:

General IQ gains: the ability to reason, problem solve and make intelligent decisions.
Short term memory gains: the ability to hold in mind & manage more information.
Brain fitness: your overall level of mental health, power and efficiency.
Goal focus: the ability to attend to, and keep on track with your goals, and not be distracted.
Self control: the will power to overcome impulses, distractions and temptations.
