Computerized EEG Analysis of Subjects Undergoing

Synchro-Energization for Relaxation

Computerized EEG signals were used to evaluate the effects of
|
|
"Synchro-Energizer" stimulation. Synchro-Energizer (S-E) devices
|
|
are the newest craze in stress reduction.
|
|
|
|
The S-E device includes dark goggles with tiny lights inside,
|
|
earphones and a control module that varies the light and sound
|
|
sequence. S-E salons are springing up around metropolitan areas and
|
|
are enjoying a lot of media attention.
|
|
|
|
Power Spectra were obtained for the standard frequency bands (delta,
|
|
theta, alpha and beta); activity in microvolts for each band was
|
|
measured before, during and after a twenty minute session on the S-E
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
Although the S-E device is ALLEGED to induce a mental relaxation
|
|
response, we found no statistical evidence supporting existence of
|
|
LASTING relaxation-type changes, i.e. NO INCREASE in alpha or theta
|
|
range activity, in the EEG of thirty young, healthy volunteers
|
|
thirty minutes POST S-E use.
