Stimulation / Performance Enhancement Programs 

Use these programs two to three times per week for a minimum of four to six weeks 
for optimal benefit. The stimulation programs may also be helpful in overcoming 
feelings of mental lethargy that, for example, is common during or after long 
transoceanic flights. When changing several time zones, we recommend use upon or 
shortly after destination arrival. However, we recommend not using prior to retiring as 
these programs may be somewhat over-stimulating. They may also be useful for many 
performance-related tasks including athletic competition. 
 

Program 9 Memory Enrichment 21 Minutes 

High to low beta 17 - 13 Hz 
Begin using this program for overall academic improvement. Use initially two to three 
times per week for four to six weeks to improve focus skills. Regular use may have a 
positive and long lasting effect with noted improvement in concentration and 
alertness. 
 

Program 10 Cognitive Enhancement 22 Minutes

 

High to low beta 35 - 13 Hz 
This program is an excellent follow-up to Program 9 for improved mental functioning. 
It can also be useful for any performance-related task including athletic competition, 
intense work requiring high mental capacity, or complex activities that require 
superior mental concentration. This program and Program 12 can help calm the over- 
active mind. 
 

Program 11 Advanced Attention for Children 35 Minutes 

Low to very high beta 13 - 40 Hz 
This program has been found to be helpful as a mood elevator and for improving 
motivation in adults. Many users report noticeable improvements after two to three 
weeks of use. It can be effective for children who are experiencing difficulty attending 
to task. Use may continue past the recommended four week period. We suggest 
consulting with a medical professional before beginning use of this program for 
children with symptoms of hyperactivity. If experiencing symptoms of anxiety, we 
suggest not using this program.

 

 

Program 12 Stimulus Reduction/Advanced Focus for Adults 35 Minutes

 

Very high to low beta 40 - 13 Hz 
This program is designed to help improve focus, attention and concentration abilities 
in adults. This program may also be very helpful in improving problem solving 
abilities and to reduce feelings associated with mental over-stimulation and 
over-activity.
