- FLASHER - THE BRAINWAVE STIMULATOR
-
- Have you seen the ads lately for those special glasses which allow
- you to experiment with visual Brainwave Stimulation? They're fun -
- but at $200.00 or more - expensive! FLASHER is a program which lets
- you experiment with the same phenomenon using your computer. You
- select the flashrate, pattern and color - then relax and let the
- hypnotic light pulses affect your mood. Depending on CPU speed
- and setup, you can select from 1 to 30 cycles per second (Hertz).
- Although flashrates above approximately 15 Hz are visually interest-
- ing to look at, the most relaxing rates are at the low end - down in
- the Delta and Theta ranges. The program prompts you for the desired
- entries. You'll need a 100% IBM compatible computer with a color EGA
- or VGA monitor. THERE IS ONE VERY IMPORTANT WARNING WHICH YOU MUST
- OBSERVE!!! DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM IF YOU SUFFER FROM EPILEPSY OR
- OTHER NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEMS! While this may affect only a few people,
- adverse reactions to flashing lights have been experienced by suscep-
- tible persons. Otherwise, put on some mood music, type FLASHER, close
- your eyes and enjoy! You should be able to percieve the pulses through
- closed eyelids. The slower the rate, the more vivid the sensation. Try
- Flashrate = 4, Color = Yellow and Pattern = Alpha for a good demo of
- the hypnotic power of FLASHER. A striking visual presentation can be
- seen by selecting Flashrate = 22, Color = Yellow and Pattern = Gamma.
- You might not be able to percieve the faster rates through closed eye-
- lids, but then the faster rates are in the Beta Brainwave range which
- is the wide awake state. BE SURE AND HEED THE WARNING SCREENS. Although
- warning screens appear before and during the program itself, be sure to
- include this file when you share FLASHER with your friends. Thank you.
