| BrainWave Generator 2.0 press releasePRESS RELEASE January 11th 1999 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BrainWave Generator 2.0 software was released ============================================= Espoo, FINLAND -- January 11th 1999 -- Noromaa Solutions released today a Windows 95/98/NT software for brain stimulation with binaural beats. Effects of brain stimulation range from relaxation and meditation to self-hypnosis and alleviation of headaches and migraines. The theory behind BrainWave Generator ------------------------------------- Human brain generates vibrations in the range of 1Hz to about 50Hz. These vibrations can be measured from the surface of the scalp by EEG (electroencephalography) technology. The dominant frequency of the brain can tell much of a person's state of mind: day-time frequencies are typically over 15 to 30Hz while frequencies of 1 to 4Hz occur during the deepest stages of sleep. Frequencies around 8 to 12Hz are excellent for relaxation and meditation purposes. BrainWave Generator works by entraining brain into a desired state by generating sounds with binaural beats. Binaural beats are formed by supplying a tone (for example, 500Hz) into the left ear and another tone (for example, 510Hz) into the right ear. The difference, 10Hz is perceived by the brain, and has the tendency of changing the brain's dominant frequency towards itself. This is called brainwave entrainment. BrainWave Generator generates such tone pairs that can be used to entrain the brain into desired states. Effects of brainwave entrainment -------------------------------- Through the selection of certain entrainment frequencies, the following effects can be achieved: - Relaxation and meditation - Enhancing learning capabilities, increasing memory and increasing IQ - Inducing sleep - Focusing attention and enhancing awareness - Alleviating headaches and migraines - Preparing for stressful situations - Self-hypnosis and/or subliminal programming Features of BrainWave Generator ------------------------------- Features of BrainWave Generator include: - Possibility to create and save your own brainwave entrainment presets with a very easy-to-use user interface. A context-sensitive online help is also included. - More than 20 built-in presets ranging from sleep-induction to headache alleviation. - Brainwave entrainment presets can be exported as files and imported back, so that exchanging presets between different users becomes very easy. (Importing is only available in the registered version.) - Selection of 18 different background sounds ranging from gently flowing river to explosions. External .wav files can also be used as backgrounds, as well as noise varying from "harsh" white noise to "gentle" brown noise. - Possibility to add up to 4 simultaneous voices to the output. For each voice, parameters such as binaural beat frequency, volume, audible pitch, modulation and background can be programmed separately. - Waveform of the output can be selected from sine wave, sine^2 wave, triangular wave, rectangular wave and smoothed rectangular waves. Availability and distribution ----------------------------- BrainWave Generator is available to download from our Web page at http://www.bwgen.com (select the Download link). BrainWave Generator is distributed under the "shareware" concept, meaning that users may try it out for one month, after which they have to register for $30.
