Brainwave Generator

[RetepNamenots]

Has anybody else tried this! (http://www.bwgen.com/download.htm) I downloaded it about an hour ago but only got round to start it up just now - and I have to say that the effects that it gives are quite simply amazing. It's got different modes - sleep induction, relaxation, awareness etc, but I don't know how useful it would be for lucid dreaming induction (although it says it can help). Just download it and listen to it for a bit. It gives you the most strange sensations...

Yes, actually I'm listening to it right now. I had a stressfull day and I am listening to Schumann Resonance and I am calm once again! The Quick Mental Refresher works wonders too. Brainwave Generator is quite something, and completley awesome ~R~

Yes, the software works, it's great. There are lots of free presets in the web (and in other many unofficial webs) and most of them work. But you know, brainwave is not all The idea with LD (I think) is to use a preset with the correct frequency (I can't remember just now which one is) while you fall asleep. Of course the preset continues working while you are sleeping, and, personally, until the REM phase. I have tested it that way many times and works great (or maybe is myself getting auto-hypnotized) Just with some soft that turns off the computer when the presets end. I don't use it everynight due to the headphones, I usually move in bed and take them off or hurt myself with them (as they fall off from my ears and then I put my face on them ) Of course another presets like relax-presets and similar works so good that I mix some of them with slow music and are on my mp3-player, hehe.

I have it and though I don't like technical solutions for lucid dreaming, I use it for headache treatment. It's quite amazing. Literally 5 seconds and the headache disappears, then half a minute of listening further and it's gone for good.

I have used BWgen too. I'm not sure what to think of it. But it seems to make me feel SOMEWHAT different SOMEHOW. Can anyone give me advice on how Long I should listen to any of these Brainwave sounds for the desirable effect?

I read that tutorial a lot, and I get lost after step 6, you leave out some key instructions, for example step 8 and 9, you tell us to make a new node, but do not tell us what Hz to place it at, you then tell us to keep placing them down until you reach the end, we can't do that until we know where to start... Some of the sounds in BW Generator give me a headache to tell you the truth. I also would like to know if you need headphones on for it to work, since I am a pretty rough sleeper, and would hate to damage my headphones, or computer speakers.

[/b] I gave you a frequency guide so you can put whatever you want for your own desired effects. Refer to my tutorial. As for headphones, yes, you need them. Again, refer to my tutorial.

[/b] I Sure wouldn't mind using it, but the problem, Im more of a visual learning lol So a few steps confused me alot.

^^ he is asking you to post screenshots artelis.

Actually it isn't that complicated. Just make a time line of Minutes that resembles the estimate amount of Minutes you sleep each night. Now in this timeline of, let's say 480 Minutes (8hours of sleep) at 3Hz Frequency, Create 5 Peaks of 10Hz Frequency every 70 Minutes, lasting 20 Minutes ( 20 + 70 = 90mins= Time of one Sleepcycle. 20 mins is estimate DreamTime per Sleepcycle ) Does that make some more sense to you, ONeal?

Ska u have suffered from insoknia i nthe past i believe? I also have this problem have you tried BWGen to cure it? Im not going to downlaod it until someone gives the afirmative that it is indeed effective Is there a prset for sleep induction? Imran

Imran [/b] It works differently for everyone, but I know it works for me. And yes, there is a sleep preset.

DAMN PC ONLY!!! WHYY!|?!?!?!??!!? -.-

[Gabi]

I see you are a Mac user. No problem, instead of BWG you can use the Sbagen (SBaGen here) it's the same. But maybe is a little more complicated of use (not too much if you read instructions twice )

[Roryflyguy]

Coolio Thanks Gabi Padawan... nice

scary stuff

Hmmmm, I'm quite interested in using this. From what I understand this works best if used on headphones but I have some concerns about listening to (almost) fixed (and possibly slightly extreme?) frequencies for long periods of time - can't this damage your hearing? I heard some very interesting results come from this but don't want to do anything that might cause permanent damage! I've been told that using headphones for long periods of time can damage your hearing anyway...

[Gabi]

There's no problem about that! What you hear it's a fixed frequency on one channel and another different by some Hz on the other. It's that difference what makes it work so you cn choose what frequency to use as the "base frequency" it's not necessary to use high frequency you can use a 200-300 Hz (or less) and it's not uncomfortably. The only problem is that you can get asleep while you listen to it so try adding some noise or a song. The use of headphones is requierred as both signas must be heared individually in each ear so using speaker would mix the sounds and won't have the same effect (as far as I know, I've always used headphones with this) You don't have to worry, just download the BrainWave generator and try it on some of the presets you'll find there's no danger

[Roryflyguy]

Whats the link for the Mac version again? I lost it...

[Dan_B]

Thanks Gabi will give it a try... :yumdumdoodledum: Rory here is the link. Splendid

[BohmaN]

Creepy that this actually works! listened to it for a few minutes and god really drowzzzzzzzzzzzzzy =)

[odds]

It's sort of like a modern, Tibetan-like method. The only difference is that Tibetan's used meditation bowls instead!

I like to use the Dream Machine for altered states... http://www.noah.org/science/dreamachine/ The above link shows you how to build your own. The idea is similar to the brainwave generator, but it's a little more organic and hands-on. Grab an MP3 of a Hemisync Holosync or Theta mediation, loop it on your computer, and let this light machine do the rest. I use mine almost daily. The man who invented the Dream Machine (Brion Gysin) is an amazing source of inspiration...an artist in every sense of the word.

*Sigh* It appears mac users are neglected in this field. I can find nothing like this for MacOSX...
