![]() ![]() There is always some kind of gatekeeper that will try to rouse us in case of danger, but it takes very little mental space. During sleep, there is a mechanism that switches out such distractions, giving the REM sleep full reign of the brain. It can be suppressed easily by opening my eyes and looking around, or just moving in my chair, or even by thoughts and feelings. ![]() The binaural beat creates a standing wave, and it is synchronized in both hemispheres, but that does not mean it completely fills those hemispheres. It is an entirely different experience, despite the theta waves. I have only the briefest of dream-like flashes when using artificial theta. Specifically, dream sleep is much more than theta waves, although they may be responsible for some of the effects of REM sleep (theta seems to be the natural rhythm of the hippocampus, the “index” of our long-term memory). So, does it compensate for lack of sleep? Not really, or not completely. I have however used the Dive an extra time in the morning the last few days to compensate for lack of sleep. It is not yet time to use the next track, Immersion, that is designed to keep one in delta (deep sleep like) for another 30 minutes. Since then I have used the Dive, which moves gradually through alpha, theta and delta waves over the course of 30 minutes. I used this day after day until the actual product arrived on March 9, then switched over. They admit on the CD that it is not “industrial strength” – in fact, Harris uses that exact phrase – but again it gives an impression. You may still get an idea of how it works, but don’t be smart and save the money by downloading MP3 files instead of buying.Ĭenterpointe rushed their demo CD to me (they rush almost everything, it seems) and so I started to use that. But in the beginning I had only MP3 copies, which are less effective since MP3 is a “lossy” format, it has less detail than the audio format used on CDs, so some of the very precise sound pulses will get lost. I have used the product in some form or another for over a month now. How much CAN we expect from HoloSync, then? And why? But I will angle this at the more rational reader, who does not expect miracles. I don’t expect that target group to read this blog, although you never know in this age of Google. Let us just assume for now that for the intended target group, there may be a strong placebo effect in addition to the actual physiological effect. This is not necessarily as evil as it sounds. ![]() So, will it magically fill you with overflowing happiness as soon as you press the PLAY button?Ĭenterpointe Research Institute, which created and sells the Holosync solution, uses exaggerated claims and unrealistic expectations to sell their product. ![]()
