A.V.E. stands for audio-visual entrainment. Through the use of an A.V.E. device one experiences what is called brainwave entrainment (B.W.E.). Brainwave entrainment is the result of exposing the visual channel to pulsing lights and the auditory channel to rhythmic beats or tones. When this is done ones brainwave activity begins to entrain or follow the flicker of the light and beat or rhythm of the sound.

The study of “brainwaves” have played a vital role in the understanding of how the brain and mind function. Ones brainwave activity is constantly shifting and changing during the day and night. Virtually every form of mental and physical activity will cause changes in this activity. Brainwave activity tends to fall into four groups: beta, alpha, theta, and delta. These categories are associated with the rapidity of oscillation (frequency) of brainwaves. As it turns out, certain patterns of brainwave activity are associated with specific mental states as follows:

  • Beta 14-30 Hz = awake, normal alert, conscious
  • Alpha 9-13 Hz = relaxed, calm, lucid, not thinking
  • Theta 4-8 Hz = deep relaxation and meditation, mental imagery
  • Delta 1-3 Hz = deep dreamless sleep

With the use of an A.V.E. unit one can activate a program to entrain the brain at a frequency that would be most useful for the participant. Some of the uses and benefits of B.W.E. with an A.V.E. unit, as indicated by the research, are as follows:

  • Exercises the Brain
    o Enriched environment
    o Increase in dentritic length
    o Increase in brain mass
    o Increase in blood supply
  • Reduce Stress and Produce Deep Relaxation
    o Decrease in stress related neurochemicals
    o Reduce muscle tension
    o Lower blood pressure
    o Reduce heart rate
  • Boost IQ
    o LD average increase over 20 points and as high as 30
    o ADD/ADHD – 12-20 increase
  • Autism

    • o Increase alertness
    o Reduce tantrums and aggressiveness
    o No longer hyper
    o Improved speech articulation and vocabulary
    o Normalized sleep patterns
  • Accelerated Learning

    • o Learn more – learn faster – proven more adept at learning difficult and complex material
  • Increase Memory

    • o Improve both long and short term memory
  • Produce Peak Performance

    • o Produce high efficiency, effortless “flow” states
  • Substance Abuse Problems
    o Produce unprecedented recovery rates
  • Overcome Depression and Anxiety

    • o Greatly reduce or eliminate chronic depression and anxiety
  • Alleviate Pain

    • o Eliminate or greatly reduce both chronic and transient pain
  • Boost Immune Function
    o Increase the power of the immune system to overcome existing diseases and boost its resistance to infection
