What are some examples of "altered
states of consciousness" and how do they differ from normal states?
Utilizing light and sound pulses at a specified frequency,
these machines stimulate the mental activity in various ways, essentially
leading perception from the waking state to a variety of altered states of
consciousness.
Unique random session creates a different session every
time it runs.
Manual control of pulse rate in tenths of a Hertz, from
0.1 to 40.0. Use this to create precise stimulation protocols for your
personal exploration and special applications.
ColorPulse™ decode circuit converts rhythmic sounds
(the “beat”) from your cassette/CD/MP3 player into pulses of light.
Turn any source into a synchronized light show!
AudioPulse™ decoder and built-in microphone converts
any ambient sound into a lightshow.
Your SIRIUS package includes:
Stylish, compact control console with built-in folding
stand
Stereo headphones
NEW PureWhite™ white-light LiteFrames™, for enhanced
visuals
Manual
Carry case
AudioStrobe sampler CD
Stereo patch cord
Note: System requires 3 x AA
alkaline batteries, not included. 110 volt (USA) and 220 volt (Europe) AC
power adapters are available as options.
PROTEUS™
Key features of the SIRIUS™
system:
21 programs for relaxation, learning, increased energy,
visualization, sports performance, and more.
AudioStrobe® decode circuitry. This patented technology
encodes inaudible control signals within compact disc audio tracks. These
signals directly trigger and control the Sirius lights, resulting in
perfectly synchronized audio-visual experiences. Take advantage of a
library of dozens of available titles, and take a mind-expanding voyage
without leaving home.
Key features of the PROTEUS™
system:
Realtime BiColor™ output. Proteus includes two
independent color channels, each of which has its own brightness and pulse
rate. This means that Proteus sessions can shift smoothly between up to
4,096 colors in real time, creating extraordinary visuals and mapping
colors more precisely to states of consciousness. For example, lower
frequencies can be set to soothing green, while higher, energizing
frequencies are the appropriate red; the “peak performance” color
amber lies in between.
Totally programmable and upgradeable. Proteus uses
advanced Flash memory for both session and operating system data. This
means that you can not only download new session groups into the system,
but also that the entire operating system can be upgraded. Recent upgrades
have added include such advanced features as wavetable crossfading; dual
binaural beats; BioConnect™ real-time biofeedback control, and more.
Wavetable audio. PROTEUS includes stereo audio digital to
analog converters, enabling production of binaural beats and other
waveforms. You can store up to four different waveforms in Proteus, and we
include an audio waveform creation tool with the bundled software.
Enhanced AudioStrobe™. We’ve fine-tuned our
AudioStrobe decoder circuitry, providing a much crisper, more intense
experience.
199 program capacity. Proteus ships with expanded
versions of the best programs taken from our earlier products (especially
Orion and MindLab). A total of fifty programs are preloaded into Proteus
when you receive it. Plus, there is plenty of space remaining for you
download your own creations—about 2,000 segments altogether in two
separate banks.
Free Proteus Editor software. Unlike other manufacturers,
we don’t charge for our software—you can just download the latest
version of Proteus Editor from the Proteus support site. Choose from a
host of programmable features, including:
Single or dual binaural beats
Create and download your own audio wavetables
Synchronize the two color channels or run them at
completely different frequencies
Control the lights and sound in real time using our
ThoughtStream biofeedback system
Create “random” programs within constraints you
choose (for example, frequencies constrained to 9-12 hz and segment
lengths of 1 to 3 seconds).
Frequencies range from 0.2 to 50.0 hz—best in the
industry
Plus much more.
Your PROTEUS package includes:
Attractive, compact Proteus Control Console
Superbright Ruby/Emerald Liteframes
Stereo headphones and audio patchcord
Concise Manual
Audiostrobe sampler CD
Proteus Editor software and user manual (via download)
Note: System requires 3 x AA alkaline batteries, not
included. 110 volt (USA) and 220 volt (Europe) AC power adapters,
Ruby/Sapphire and PureWhite™ LiteFrames available as options.
The PROTEUS™ is a revolutionary new light and sound product
that combines innovative BiColor™ stimulation technology. Developed with the
serious experimenter in mind, Proteus includes a host of powerful programming
capabilities.
Our new Sirius™ is the best value for money of any
light/sound system on the market today. It includes a number of features
normally found in machines costing much more.
SIRIUS™
Waking state: attention directed to surroundings.
Includes agitated, restless/"monkey mind" states which are
especially amenable to treatment with light and sound stimulation.
Hypnagogic, or "twilight" state: Borderline
sleep; deep meditation state; hypnotic state; access to the unconscious
mind and enhanced retrieval of memories; creativity, accelerated or "superlearning",
inspiration. Associated with increased theta brainwave activity.
Trance state: Deep, dreamless sleep; deep rest.
Often associated with increased delta brainwave activity
