This article was
generated from a
conversation
between
Brainwave
entrainment
developer
Michael Kelley
and a BrainEv
user.
Original
question:
A question
has arisen in my
mind - although
the program has
obviously given
many people good
and positive
results, and was
made with
positive
intentions, it
still deals with
artificially
altering
brainwave
patterns.
How can we
be sure that,
although we feel
good when
listening to
BrainEv, and
FEEL apparent
positive
results, that in
the long run,
the effects of
this technology
are for the
GLOBAL highest
good of the
listener?
(The
following
analogy,
illustrates the
point - our
nearsighted,
human
intelligence
creates all
kinds of medical
drugs, which
apparently help,
but have been
shown to have
negative side
effects down the
road.)
Are you sure
this won't
happen with
BrainEV? And how
do you know that
the technology
is truly for the
long-term,
global, highest
good of the
listener and his
brain?
Response:
Brainwave
entrainment
technology has
been around for
a long time,
which has
rendered vast
amounts of
information to
support its use
safely.
In truth, some
form of
brainwave
entrainment
happens to you
at several
points
throughout the
each normal day.
The brain can
entrain to any
periodic
stimulus that
you might come
across, for
example: the
brain will
entrain to the
frame rates in
television sets
or computer
monitors; the
steady rhythm of
highway lines
pulsing past
your windshield
when driving;
the continuous
crash of waves
at an ocean, the
steady crackling
of a fire.
Consider
this, and brainwave
entrainment
technology
may not be as
artificial as
one might think.
When my children
were babies, I
developed a
great trick for
helping them
sleep (as well
as us parents).
I would rub
their backs in
soft rhythmic
strokes, slowing
the rhythm over
time. This would
help them fall
asleep by
entraining their
brainwaves to my
touch. Curious
as I am, I would
record their
little
brainwaves with
an EEG to see
how this
functioned.
Today they are 4
and 10 years
old, healthy,
with nimble
minds and great
attitudes.
Through music,
dance and other
tactile
experimentation,
brainwave
entrainment has
been literally
been a part of
my family's
experience since
the late 90's.
Countless
experiences like
those carry into
my work and the
safety and
integrity of the
system has been
carefully
engineered to
reflect the
cumulation of
that accumulated
knowledge.
That said, I’ve
been testing and
developing the
technology
behind the
BrainEv for over
a decade and
I've seen great
results in
people from all
walks of life.
Couple that,
with the roughly
50 years of
research in
brainwave
entrainment
itself, and we
have a broad
framework to
administer this
technology
safely. I find
contrast in
comparing
brainwave
entrainment to
more more
invasive
technologies,
such as
medications
(which cause a
direct effect of
the chemical
make up and
physiology of
the body), or
surgeries (which
cut open and
manipulate the
body itself).
Of course, this
is not to
diminish the
potential
dangers of the
technology, nor
is the Brain
Evolution System
considered a
substitute for
appropriate
medical and
psychological
therapies - be
they medicated,
operated on or
professionally
counselled!
We are very open
about any
potential danger
in using
brainwave
entrainment
technology. For
example, there
are risks for
those with
mental
disorders, or
those who carry
a
pre-disposition
for epilepsy.
We do not offer
medical advice.
Yet we encourage
discussing any
possible
concerns with a
doctor for
matters of a
more medical or
psychological
nature..

some key safety
considerations
when using the
Brain Evolution
System.
