I’ve tried all three of the gamma audiovisual entrainment (AVE) sessions on Mind Alive’s DAVID Delight Pro device and have enough information to start developing an hypothesis and methodology. I began this experiment because COVID-19 pandemic disrupted my weekly or three-times-a-month gamma brainwave biofeedback sessions at the ADD Centre. It soon became apparent that in…

Writings on brain injuries, remedies, and interesting tidbits, from the perspective of one who suffered a closed head injury and didn’t lose consciousness. Mild brain injuries are injuries too.
Gamma 38 to 42Hz DAVID Delight Pro
On the advice of Mind Alive to drink a glass of water 20 minutes before gamma audiovisual entrainment, I made sure I didn’t dally between drinking water and eating and starting this session, this time. Had a bit of eye set trouble. Almost gave up. But switched eye sets, checked lights were on, then closed…
Seventh SMR/Gamma DAVID Delight Pro Session
I had a very bad day yesterday. My neurodoc said it wasn’t a great assessment of SMR/gamma brainwave entrainment because when have something going in the opposite direction, it neutralizes its efficacy. Having deep relaxation was thus a bonus. And he’s seen this new session being beneficial to me so far, notwithstanding yesterday. This reminds…
Sixth SMR/Gamma AVE with DAVID Delight Pro
Crappy start to the day with my governments still not providing aid packages and essential services like grocery delivery to people with disabilities. Why is it in times like these, governments and media still don’t give a fuck about people with disabilities? We number in the millions! But it’s like isolation troubles only healthy people,…
Fifth SMR/Gamma Mind Alive DAVID Delight Pro Session
This COVID-19 pandemic inducing early shopping panic, so many self-isolating needing groceries delivered, and no government or charity arranging grocery pickup and delivery for people with disabilities like me, meant it took me a week to work out where to order from that didn’t charge an arm and a leg and that actually allowed me…
Fourth SMR/Gamma Audiovisual Entrainment Session with MindAlive DAVID Delight Pro
Forgetting to use this new session one day teaches you a few things. Back to being woozy again if open eyes or at the start. It takes more than three sessions for my brain to adapt to the frequencies. This happens with every new session or brain biofeedback protocol at the ADD Centre — not…
Third SMR/Gamma Mind Alive Session
This morning, my body entered deep relaxation for a few minutes during my usual SMR/Beta audiovisual entrainment session. That normally doesn’t happen. Huh. Does this change support my theory of gamma brainwaves I posited in my book Concussion Is Brain Injury: Treating the Neurons and Me? My brain is settling down into this new audiovisual…
Second Mind Alive SMR/Gamma Session
I inadvertently turned the lights off near the start, maybe when I was getting Mind Alive’s DAVID Delight Pro device to memorize my intensity settings for the SMR/Gamma session, but for maybe about 5 minutes. Audio down to lowest setting and did same for lights when realized what I’d done. Still, woozy at start —…
First Mind Alive Gamma Session
With COVID-19 cancelling my brain biofeedback appointments at the ADD Centre plus having to miss the session just before lockdown because of exhaustion from participating in Brain Storm, I began to feel the absence of no gamma brainwave training. Fortunately, Mind Alive has added three gamma sessions to their DAVID Delight Pro and DAVID Delight…
