Light and Sound NeuroTherapy with the NeuroAdvantage "trainer"


What is Light and Sound Neurotherapy? 


Throughout time, people have learned to enjoy our brain's natural tendency to synchronize with pleasant light and sound stimulation.  Whether it is the rhythmic beating of drums around campfires in primitive cultures, disco dancing to throbbing music and synchronized strobe lights in the 70's and 80's, or being entranced by a fire's flickering flames while listening to jazz today ... this rhythmic stimulation has the power to shape our thoughts, moods and behaviors.


The earliest known clinical use of light stimulation was by Pierre Janet, a French psychiatrist in the early 1900's.  Dr. Janet worked in a Parisian mental hospital and began experimenting with having his patients stare at a light that flashed at a constant rate controlled by a fan spinning in front of a lamp.  Dr. Janet found that this new form of therapy had a profoundly soothing effect on them.


By using an electroencephalographic (EEG) machine, Adrian and Matthews (1934) were the first researchers to document that this flashing light therapy changed subject's brainwave activity.  Toman (1941), followed by Walter and Walter (1949) built on this discovery and found that the hertz (Hz) frequency that the light flashed at caused the same frequency in subject's brainwaves to grow stronger.

Since these early pioneers, other neuroscientsts have documented the ease with which our brainwaves "synchronize" to repetitive light stimulation.  Neher (1961) found that this same "synchronization" effect occured to rythmic sound stimulation.

In 1999, Budzynski and Associates took this research a step further ... they compared the effectiveness of academic counseling to that of 30 "light therapy" sessions for a group of struggling college students.

The students who had the 30 "light stimulation" sessions went on to improve their GPA by an average of .7 points while the students who received academic counseling averaged a slight decline of .2 in GPA.

Clinical researchers have found that Light and Sound Neurotherapy is a robust treatment effective in facilitating relaxation, meditative and hypnotic states in people, as well as in promoting healing for numerous mental and physical conditions including:

  • Autism
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia
  • Dementia and Cognitive Decline in Seniors
  • Depression in Adults and Seniors
  • Headaches (including Migranes!!!)
  • Hypertension
  • Seasonal Affective Disorder
  • Stroke

The most extensive research has been done with ADHD and learning-impaired individuals.  Researchers have found that with Light and Sound Neurotherapy:

  • Increased sustained attention span
  • Decreased hyperactivity
  • Improved impulse control
  • Decreased anxiety and depression
  • Improved essential learning skills (including auditory memory, mental processing speed, verbal and non-verbal IQ)
  • Improved academic performance
  • GENERATING IMPROVEMENTS EQUAL OR SUPERIOR TO PSYCHO-STIMULANT MEDICATION
  • Maintained the treatment gains in IQ and ability to sustain attention for up to 16-months following treatment termination.

Why is Light and Sound NeuroTherapy helpful in such a wide variety of conditions?

Several researchers have proposed that "increased cerebral blood flow" is the underlying mechanism that generates the therapeutic effect for Light and Sound NeuroTherapy.  Numerous neuro-imaging studies document the presence of hypoperfusion (insufficient cerebral blood flow) as diagnostic markers in a host of different disorders.

Light and Sound NeuroTherapy is an ideal treatment strategy for accomplishing "increased cerebral blood flow" because it is a pleasant, efficient and affordable treatment.

The NeuroTrainer has 32 different programs that are pre-programmed with specific training sessions based on research and clinical experience to help people:

  • Relax the Mind and Body
  • Improve mood by decreasing negative thinking
  • Enhance mental concentration, learning and memory
  • Help control cravings and addictions
  • Enhance pain management and sleep
  • Enhance meditation skills
  • Ensure peak mental performance in demanding endeavors

To further enhance the effectiveness we have the ability to plug into a number of recordings for use during your LSN training session.  These recordings cover a variety of topics and incorporate positive affirmations, guided visualizations and hypnotic suggestions to help you grow and make desired changes in your life.  Examples include:

  • Positive thinking
  • Deep Relaxation
  • Increase Your Motivation
  • Quiet Your Mind
  • Manage Pain
  • Find Forgiveness
  • Heal Relationships
  • Enjoy Exercise
  • Test-Taking Success
  • Master Mindfulness Meditation
  • Visualize Success

At this point, I can see these LSN (Light and Sound NeuroTherapy) sessions being used as a treatment by itself (in a series of 5, 10 or 15) or as an add-on to many of my existing treatments to get more from your treatment.  So please refer to my Rates & Packages page for information on "how" to schedule your treatments.
