Remembering, Believing Compassion In Tough Times
What quality do you value most in a friend? The title is the quality I value most. Until my brain injury, I believed I had friends who’d be there in sickness not just health. Until the Y2K car crash, I didn’t think about how important it is to remember the person that was before sickness… Continue reading Remembering, Believing Compassion In Tough Times
Learning Is Forever
Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow. As I read this prompt, I immediately thought of the day I decided to call the ADD Centre and said “yes” to attending there for their expensive assessment and treatment program. Their program was outside any kind of medicine that I… Continue reading Learning Is Forever
Gamma 38 to 42Hz Study: Results and Discussion
On 13 April 2020, I began a single subject study into audiovisual entrainment of gamma brainwaves at 38 to 42Hz. The ideal gamma brainwave frequency one wants is 40Hz. I finished it yesterday, 10 May 2020. Today, I present the results of four weeks of this study. Results I measured the effect of gamma 38… Continue reading Gamma 38 to 42Hz Study: Results and Discussion

Thoughts on Designing Gamma Audiovisual Entrainment Experiment
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… Continue reading Thoughts on Designing Gamma Audiovisual Entrainment Experiment
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… Continue reading Gamma 38 to 42Hz DAVID Delight Pro
First Gamma 40Hz Audiovisual Entrainment
I completed eleven sessions of SMR/gamma brainwave audiovisual entrainment on Saturday. The DAVID Delight Pro has three gamma sessions, and the Clinical Director of the ADD Centre where I’ve been receiving gamma brainwave biofeedback weekly for years, suggested the 40Hz session would be best for me. I’d decided to ease into trying gamma audiovisual entrainment… Continue reading First Gamma 40Hz Audiovisual Entrainment
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… Continue reading Seventh SMR/Gamma DAVID Delight Pro Session
