- Computerized EEG signals were used to evaluate the effects of
- "Synchro-Energizer" stimulation. Synchro-Energizer (S-E) devices
- are the newest craze in stress reduction.
-
- The S-E device includes dark goggles with tiny lights inside,
- earphones and a control module that varies the light and sound
- sequence. S-E salons are springing up around metropolitan areas and
- are enjoying a lot of media attention.
-
- Power Spectra were obtained for the standard frequency bands (delta,
- theta, alpha and beta); activity in microvolts for each band was
- measured before, during and after a twenty minute session on the S-E
- device.
-
- Although the S-E device is ALLEGED to induce a mental relaxation
- response, we found no statistical evidence supporting existence of
- LASTING relaxation-type changes, i.e. NO INCREASE in alpha or theta
- range activity, in the EEG of thirty young, healthy volunteers
- thirty minutes POST S-E use.
