that the flashrate

somehow feels

too

fast

and

too slow. Somewhere

between those two

extremes is a

flash -

rate that's

just right for

you.

You should find that even

with your

eyes closed,

there's still a

noticeable

flashing from the goggles.

The LED's

aren't bright enough

to hurt your

eyes.

but

the best effects are accomplished

with your eyes closed. Continue

slowly back

and

forth as

you search for your own,

per-

sonal alpha

frequency.

At the correct

frequency, you

may

find that your eyelids

tend to

flutter

slightly

in time

with

the

flashes, or the

intensity

of the LED's

may seem to be

greater.

Also, somehow,

the flashrate

will feel more

comfortable and

in tune

with you. Don't force

the

process

worry too much about

whether

not

the

A/MG is

working at your frequen-

cy. Pick a

rate that seems comfortable

and

try to relax under

its effects.

After about

10 minutes, turn

the A/

off. You

will

almost

assuredly

find that you are

feeling quite relaxed,

almost

languid, and

that the feeling

will

begin

to dissipate

with the instru-

ment turned

off. That means that

you've

found the right flashrate

for

yourself.

Make a note of the dial

tion

for future reference.

Each person

that uses

the A/MG

will likely have a

different

setting.

Theta waves

l-or

those

wanting

to experiment

with

the theta

band, add a switch

the

front panel, S2, that

will

connect

101r,F capacitor

(C4) in parallel

with

C2, for the lower

frequency range.

(Refer to

step No. 15 in the PC -board

assembly

instructions.)

There's a

space on the PC board for C4

just

below the legend "AM -1."

Watch

the

polarity of the new capacitor.

Because

the

timing capacitance

doubled

with

added, the pulse

width of

each flash has also doubled,

but the

duty

cycle is the same

because the

pulse period

has also doubled.

Here is a list of the

commonly

documented brain

frequencies, and

when

they usually occur.

That is not

to imply that these frequencies

occur

only during these

states, or that all

authorities

on brain functions agree to

the exact frequencies specified

for

each

band.

Beta: 14-30 Hz, predominant

fre-

quencies

while awake.

Alpha: 7 -14 Hz, predominant

when sitting or lying down quietly

with

eyes closed

and

the mind

ease.

Theta: 3.5 -7 Hz,

present during

problem solving, also present during

sleep or deep trance.

Delta:

0.5 -3.5

Hz, present during

sleep and, sometimes,

illness.

Questions & answers

When

do alpha

brain

waves ap-

pear? Alpha

waves

change under dif-

fering conditions and may disappear

completely.

They are most prominent

when

the subject is sitting or lying

down

quietly

with the eyes closed and

the mind

at ease. Considerable

men-

tal

effort tends

depress

alpha

waves,

such as concentration or emo-

tional excitement can cause their

complete

disappearance.

What

are

Alpha

goggles?

The

meditation goggles are photic

stim-

ulators that synchronize the brain's

natural alpha frequency to that of the

goggles. When

a close

match of the

flashing rate and the subject's alpha

rate is

accomplished, the brain

natu-

rally begins to "get in step"

with

the

goggles

and increases the amplitude

of the alpha waves. Simply put, the

flash rate forces the brain to generate

alpha

waves,

resulting in relaxation.

How do you adjust

for the proper

flash rate? That

difficult and

sub-

jective

thing to describe. For the

most

part, you will notice that as

you adjust

the rate, it

will

seem too

slow

one

point and too

fast at another. Some-

where in

between

those points

is a

frequency that

feels right, somehow.

Also, at that

rate,

you

may notice that

the

flashing lights seem brighter

and

that

your eyelids or

other related mus-

cles begin to

twitch slightly

If you

How do you

it's work-

ing?

Again, that

is quite subjective,

but

easily proved.

Lie back,

set the

rate for

what seems right,

and relax

for a few minutes

under the

influence

of the goggles.

Now,

leave the gog-

gles on, but turn the

switch off, using

minimum of body

movement to

so. There

will be a noticeable "com-

ing down"

feeling as you

lose the high

state of alpha that

was

induced by

the

goggles.

You'll also feel

quite le-

thargic and

at ease,

something you

might not have

noticed

while

the gog-

gles

were

flashing.

You're

still pro-

ducing a goad

level of alpha

waves

and are

still in a meditative

state

with

the goggles

turned

off, so

why not

continue your

meditation at that

time?

What

dangers are there? With

one exception, epilepsy,

none that

know of. Photic stimulation

not a

new idea.

What is new is the

applica-

tion

of solid -state circuitry

and senso-

ry- reducing goggles.

The

lights are

low-

powered solid -state devices

called

LED's,

virtually the same as

used

in many digital clocks

and ap-

pliances. There are

no dangerous,

eye -damaging

light levels used.

If you are a

known epileptic,

not use this

instrument. Lights

flashing at the

alpha rate can

cause a

seizure: see

you have undiagnosed epilepsy,

you

may perceive an odd smell,

or other

unusual effect immediately

prior to a

seizure. If that happens,

goggles immediately!

What

The gog-

gles

are

also

Likewise, self

Will I lose control of myself?

NO. Except as noted :.bo t

epilepsy, the goggles cannot

The state that

the

goggles

help induce is usually

so you're

aware of your surroundings, but,

be-

Of course, there

is the chance that

aren't classi-
