I need some help. Recently I encountered a device, I believe it was called the MC-2 (as in MC-Squared), which employed audio/visual rhythms via hearphones/goggles to induce alpha states in the brain. I can't find who makes this thing. Can anyone give me a reference to this or a similar product? I would be much of the appreciative coloration. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -RJ Mical (e-mail me at rjmical@ntg.com) "I didn't do it ...

Similar along the lines of self-hypnosis in theory. I picked up a flyer and the following information is copied from the dated version of Jan 1990. Suggested retail is $350. ======== The 10 Presets The objective of the Presets is to allow you to choose different time options to accomplish a certain purpose. Each preset begins at Beta, the active mental state, to a very relaxed Theta state and then returns to the Beta state.

Can anyone give me a reference to this or a similar Based on what I heard at the recent CSICOP conference, the device you describe may act as an *epileptic seizure*-inducer as well!
