Page 6: Brainwave Frequencies
BRAINWAVE FREQUENCIES Activity in the brain is often measured by observing and recording “brainwaves” which are rhythmic or repetitive neural activity. Brainwaves can be observed through an Electroencephalography (EEG) which is a test that measures electrical brainwave activity along the scalp. Brainwaves are categorized by frequency with each category having different positive and negative effects, depending on your current and desired level of arousal or alertness. - Page 7 BRAINWAVE FREQUENCIES Frequency Proper Expression Improper Expression Delta Deep Sleep. Deep axonal/glial injury. 1-4 Hz ADHD, dementia, Closed- Dreamy, pre-sleep, Theta head injury-especially when hypnogogic, creativity. 5-7 Hz eyes-open.

Page 8: What Is Ave
WHAT IS AVE? Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) is a technique that provides pulses of light and sound at specific frequencies in the brainwave range. Through the process of entrainment (the tendency of one’s physiological processes to mirror environmental stimuli), AVE is capable of producing situational appropriate brainwave frequencies, increasing cerebral blood flow (blood flow in the brain), and increasing the metabolization of glucose in the brain for improved functioning of the neurons. -
Page 9: Eeg Activity Changes
THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF AVE EEG A CTIVITY HANGES The concept of entrainment is about altering brainwave activity. Quantitative EEG (QEEG) studies have confirmed the normalization of brain activity following an AVE session. Aberrant brainwave activity in various conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADD, seasonal affective disorder, chronic fatigue, etc., may be restructured into healthier patterns. -

THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF AVE AVE I NDUCES EDITATIVE ISSOCIATION Dissociating is the first step towards effective clearing of the mind and meditation. This clearing of thoughts and loss of body awareness is similar to what an experienced meditator would achieve (Glicksohn, 1986-87). OMPARING WITH ARIOUS... -
Page 11: Cerebral Blood Flow Increases
THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF AVE EREBRAL LOOD NCREASES Most cognitive and emotional disorders (depression, ADHD, one type of anxiety, cognitive decline in seniors/drug users) involve areas of the brain that are low (hypoperfused) in blood flow. A 1985 study showed AVE increased cerebral blood flow up to 28%, peaking at 7.8 Hz (Fox &... -
Page 12: Neurotransmitters Change
THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF AVE EUROTRANSMITTERS HANGE A 1989 study has shown that serotonin, norepinephrine and endorphins (all positive neurotransmitters) increase, while melatonin, associated with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), is reduced following the use of AVE (Shealy, et al., 1989). EUROTRANSMITTER HANGES AVE S... -

NUTRITION Ensuring proper daily intake of vitamins and good general nutrition is vital for anyone trying to maintain optimum mental health.
