Devices & Programs

Brain Training is about changing your brain: Just start the device or program and relax. Your brain learns to focus and make new connections without you making much effort, if any.

Mind Alive Entrainment Devices
Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) uses flashes of lights and pulses of tones to gently and safely guide the brain into various brain wave patterns to boost your mood, help with sleep, sharpen your mind and increase your level of relaxation.  This is an effective, inexpensive alternative therapy for many disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), fibromyalgia and chronic pain. 

AVE devices are also used successfully to boost physical performance for athletes, academic performance for students and cognitive performance for seniors. AVE is also commonly referred to as brainwave entrainment (BWE). Cranial-Electrical Stimulation (CES) devices are also available for pain relief and sleep.

“We use Mind Alive entrainment regularly at our house. These are cost-effective home use systems that are easy to travel with and share. Our friends and family, including seniors, find them helpful for mood, memory, sleep and energy enhancement. One client discovered an instant shift in mood that helped with addiction problems (people often self-medicate when they’re lacking a sense of cognitive vitality). I personally enjoy the stimulation of the 7-minute Rollercoaster program effective for mid-afternoon mental and physical fatigue.”  -Paddy Kamen

NeurOptimal Neurofeedback
The NeurOptimal® dynamical neurofeedback system is 100% non-invasive and is designed to facilitate the brain’s own process of self-regulation.  Sensors attached to the subject’s scalp detect turbulence within the central nervous system.  This information is “fed back” to the subject in the form of an audible signal which then triggers the brain’s natural self-corrective process. Because neurofeedback sessions significantly improve the brain’s ability to regulate, users report feeling calmer, more relaxed and centered.

"I used NeurOptimal to great effect several years ago with a clinician. This home unit is a great advance.” - Paddy Kamen

Open Focus Training Exercises
Excessive and prolonged stress, or the poor ability to cope with stress, can negatively affect everything in our lives: our health, relationships, job performance and emotional well-being. Open Focus is a practical and effective method for reducing stress-related symptoms and enhancing well-being, using principles developed in the field of biofeedback.

“Open Focus recordings enhance one’s ability to focus and stay calm, while also brightening mood. We consider them a peak performance aid, as well as the go-to program for dealing with pain, stress, depression, anxiety and fear. You can read about Les Fehmi, the inventor of Open Focus in my book. I have been trained by Fehmi to work one-on-one with individuals, so feel free to contact me for a phone session.” - Paddy Kamen
