Cranio-Electro Stimulation with 50% duty cycle (long pulse). This is a much stronger form of standard 50% CES CES. Some experience vertigo with this type of stimulation, so we recommend using carefully.
Microcurrent Electro Therapy. This is used to treat muscle, tendon, and soft tissue injuries. MET
Transcranial DC Stimulation (available for extra purchase). tDCS

AVE AND CES SESSION CATEGORIES AVE

Relaxation Meditation
Sleep

Sessions to relax and calm you. These are in the normal alpha brain wave band from 9 Hz 12 Hz.
Sessions to help you reach deep meditation. These are in the 5 Hz 8 Hz range. They can take you very deep. Give yourself time to “wake up” before getting up.
Sessions to help you improve your sleep. There are a variety of sessions starting at SMR or starting in alpha and ending in delta to sessions that start in delta. Sessions that start in delta were found to be quite effective for those with fibromyalgia (however, for typical population, they aren’t very effective).

Sessions to relieve physical discomfort such as aches and pains. Body Booster
Sessions to improve your mood and boost the immune system. These are alpha/beta Mood Booster sessions for the alpha asymmetry type of depression.
Sessions to help you focus and concentrate. Also to improve memory. These are SMR/beta Brain Booster type sessions, similar to how neurofeedback is done to boost cognition.

Sessions to improve performance of all kinds. Performance

Energize EMDR Gamma
Ganzfeld Custom
Research
CES

Sessions to wake you up and stimulate you for an energetic morning. These are in the 19 23 Hz range.
Sessions using Eye Movement Desensitization and Restabilization technique.
Sessions help increase myelin, cerebral spinal fluid, and amyloid plaques. These sessions are used to help with cognition and brain function all around. They have a frequency between 39 and 41 Hz. Sessions with constant light and sound on for passive altered states of consciousness. A few of these also change color and audio pitch, every few minutes, for use in chakra balancing.
Custom (separate purchase) or user-designed sessions (with DAVID Studio)
Sessions intended for research purposes.

Sub-Delta

Sessions with a frequency below 1 Hz. These have been shown to help normalize hypothalamic issues and might play a role in pumping cerebral spinal fluid.

Delta Theta

Sessions with a frequency between 1 and 4 Hz. These help to sustain sleep.
Sessions with a frequency between 4 and 8 Hz. These are useful for creativity and may also help to sustain sleep.

Alpha

Sessions with a frequency between 8 and 12 Hz.

Sessions with a frequency between 24 and 35 Hz.

Gamma

Sessions with a frequency between 35 and 50 Hz.

Sessions with a frequency above 50 Hz. High Frequency

Research

Sessions intended for research purposes.

AVE SESSION DESCRIPTIONS All of the AVE sessions (except Ganzfeld) also include CES to assist with relaxation by increasing endorphins and serotonin. After 20 years of observation, we have concluded that mild randomization (±1Hz) is more effective than a fixed frequency which we call RAVE (Randomized Audio-Visual Entrainment). Most sessions have been programmed as RAVE sessions. Most sessions include heart-rate variability (HRV) where the heartbeat is set at 24 beats per minute. If you inhale for two beats and exhale for two beats (four beats total per breath, you will pace your breathing at six breaths per minute, which is the breath rate that HRV is based on. The Premier does not measure HRV. Note: Sessions are listed alphabetically within each category.
AVE Relaxation
If you are new to AVE, the Relaxation group of sessions is a good starting point. Wait until awake for a couple of hours before using each day.
Alpha Relaxer 30 min 10 Hz
Healthy alpha is 10 Hz. Most disorders have alpha slowing. This session re-establishes the natural alpha rhythm. Good for beginners. (RAVE & HRV)
Coffee Break 15 min 10 Hz
Great for a little alpha rest during your coffee or lunch break. Comes with a pre-set audio file of ocean waves. (RAVE & HRV)
Dental & Massage 120 min 8.4 Hz
This session is slow alpha to help you stay relaxed for dental, massage, physiotherapy, and other appointments that can cause anxiety. (RAVE & HRV)
Extended Alpha 180 min 10 Hz
This session is an extended alpha session with preset audio file of birds used for deep long relaxation. (RAVE & HRV)
Wise Guy Alpha – 30 min 10.6 Hz
It has been shown that people with fast-running alpha waves have a higher-than-average IQ. This is a faster running alpha for quickness of observational processing. (RAVE & HRV)
AVE Meditation
Meditation sessions are a deeper form of relaxation. They can put a person into a very deep state of relaxation. These are best used after being awake for a few hours and preferably after lunch. They go well with a background sound such as ocean waves, birds, or thunderstorms. Avoid the use of these sessions in the evening before bed, as they can be too relaxing and might interfere with being able to fall asleep.
9

Paradise – 40 min 6.5 Hz
Developed in the 1990s, this is a favourite for those wanting a deep, relaxed state of mind. A gentle slide down from alpha to theta. Extroverts with low anxiety produce high levels of this theta frequency. (RAVE & HRV)
Short Schumann – 20 min 7.8 Hz
For a quick, thorough afternoon meditation for those on the go. Calms “hyper/chattery” minds. (RAVE & HRV)
Slow Body Down 24:10 min RAVE: 12 – 6.5 Hz CES: 30 6.5 Hz HB: 30 20 bpm
Uses gently slowing AVE frequencies, slowing CES and a slowing heartbeat to gently calm an anxious mind down into deep relaxation. This is especially good for acute or situational anxiety. Includes music file that gradually slows as session progresses. (RAVE)
Theta – 40 min 5.5 Hz
Use for creative visualization. This can put a person into a dreamy mind state. Can also be used for sleep. (RAVE & HRV)
AVE Sleep
There are many things that interfere with sleep. For example, worrying, various infections, vitamin deficiencies all turn up the cortisol in the night and interfere with sleep. Be sure to be taking 2000 IU/day of oil-based vitamin D and a vitamin B Complex along with good nutrition. Get appropriate amounts of exercise. Sleep sessions work best for sleep interference from anxiety, stress and over-arousal. There are two main types of sleep sessions. The slower ones that begin in alpha and theta are for those people who have a racy mind and tense body. The SMR ones are for those who are fairly relaxed physically but have a busy mind. All have HRV breathing using the heartbeat. Remember to breathe in for two beats and out for two beats. As you become more relaxed, try to breath in for one to two beats and out for three to four beats.
Alpha & Theta 45 min L 10 Hz/R 6 Hz
This session can really help to break up distressing thoughts that are interfering with sleep. Creates a dreamy state of mind as you drift into sleep. (RAVE & HRV)
Delta – 50 min 3.5 Hz
The sleep process starts with alpha and then we drift down to delta. This is generally not a good session for most people to use for falling to sleep. However, it is particularly good to help with sleep for those with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. (HRV)
Meditate to Sleep 50 min 8 Hz to 3 Hz
Meditate, visualize, and think soothing thoughts during the first half (8 Hz). Fall asleep during the second half (3 Hz). (RAVE & HRV)
10

Schumann for Sleep 60 min 7.8 Hz For effective deep meditation and to improve the onset of sleep. Calms “hyper-chattery” minds. Ideal for those with insomnia who have a busy mind and tense body. Comes with a pre-set audio file ocean waves. (RAVE & HRV) SMR for Sleep 50 min 14 Hz Use to improve sleep for those who have insomnia due to a “racing” mind but relaxed body. Simply breath with the heartbeat (two beats in and two beats out) until you begin drifting. Then let yourself fall asleep. (RAVE & HRV)
AVE – Body Booster
Sub-Delta – 25 min 0.5 1 Hz Mildly dissociating. Calms the hypothalamus. Beneficial for some with fibromyalgia and hypertension and other issues involving the hypothalamus. (RAVE & HRV)
AVE Mood Booster
The left frontal lobe is in charge of happiness, while the right side is fear based. With long term stress, a person can fall into a constant low mood or the “blues.” On an EEG, this appears as more alpha waves are found over the left side than on the right, leaving fear and negativity in control. These sessions are designed to pick up your mood. Mood Booster 1 30 min L 10 Hz/R 18 Hz Settles down negative emotions from the right brain while stimulating positive emotions in the left brain. Use to help with alpha-asymmetry depression. This stimulates with alpha on the left fields for the right brain and beta on the right fields for the left brain. (RAVE & HRV) Mood Booster 2 45 mins 10 Hz for 15 minutes then L 10 Hz/R 10 – 20 Hz Settles down negative emotions from the right brain while stimulating the left brain to rebalance alpha asymmetry. This session has an alpha front end to reduce anxiety and enhance relaxation. (RAVE & HRV)
AVE – Brain Booster
It is well known in the neurofeedback community that the best mental function comes from good beta waves within the left frontal lobes and ample brain waves in the SMR range (14 – 15 Hz) in the frontal lobes. These sessions do just that, but with various techniques to suit a variety of people. The Brain Booster sessions are best used upon or shortly after awakening.
11

ADHD from Study 30 min – Alpha to SMR/Beta to Alpha (3 cycles) L 10 Hz to 13.5-14 Hz/R 10 Hz to 18 – 20 Hz
This session has rapid transitions for mental stimulation to help keep the user “engaged” in the session. These are mostly used with ADHD children. Used in the study published in the Journal of Neurotherapy. Cycles between 10 Hz (Alpha) to 13.5-14 Hz on the left (SMR) and 18-20 Hz on the right (Beta). (RAVE & HRV)
Brain Booster – Left – 30 min – 10 Hz to L 6 and R 20 Hz
This session is designed to boost left brain activity such as basic math, logic and language without influencing right brain activity. (RAVE & HRV)
Brain Booster – Right – 30 min 10 Hz to R 6 and L 20 Hz
This session is designed to boost right brain activity while calming left brain activity. Its primary focus is to encourage creativity and global thinking. (RAVE & HRV)
Brain Booster – Whole 30 min Alpha to SMR/Beta to Alpha (3 cycles) L 10 Hz to 13.5-14 Hz/R 10 Hz to 18 – 20 Hz
Use to improve mental functioning and memory. Similar to the ADHD session but with gentler transitions that most adults prefer. It is based on Budzynski’s study with seniors and Wuchrer’s study with college students. Useful for seniors, dementia, college students for learning, concussion, and those with ADHD. (RAVE & HRV)
Mental Flexibility – 25 min 10 Hz to 7.8 Hz to 14 Hz to 4 Hz to 20 Hz to 10 Hz
To loosen up a stuck mind. May also be used for fibromyalgia. This is loosely based on an EEG-assisted technique. This session begins at 10 Hz and then ramps back and forth, first slowing down a bit and then speeding up some, then slowing even more, then speeding back up. The slowest speed is 4 Hz and the fastest is 20 Hz. (HRV)
SMR for Reading – 30 min 14 Hz
Use with the Spectrum Viewhole Eyesets (sold separately) to improve attention and alertness while reading. (HRV)
SMR-Beta – 25 min L 13.5 Hz/R 18 Hz
An assertive SMR/Beta session that helps to focus mental functioning and memory. Used for ADHD, boosting grades in college students, and for seniors with cognitive decline and concussion. This is RAVE for the first 10 minutes and then AVE thereafter.
AVE Performance
Performance sessions can improve your mental game (focus and concentration) as also seen in the Brain Booster sessions. Performance sessions may also be designed for emotional and game-playing visualizations for improved performance. Performance sessions may also be used for relaxing before or after an event or game.
12

Golf Pre-Game 26 min 10 Hz Use this session both in pre-season and during the season to maintain a calm mental zone while playing golf and watch your game improve. During the season, use this session one to two hours before your game. Comes with a preset audio file for improving golf performance. (RAVE)
Skill & Sports 25 min 8 Hz to 20 Hz
Use this session to develop any skill or improve performance. Visualize feeling your very best during the first half (alpha) of the session. Draw from your previous best performances. At 14 minutes into the session, the stimulation will change dramatically and speed up. At this time, visualize executing your perfect performance for the event coming up during the second half (beta) of the session. (EX-RAY visualization) (RAVE & HRV)
AVE Energize
The Energize sessions should only be used upon awakening. Many people struggle with excessive alpha brain waves or brain fog in the morning. The Energize sessions will help clear the fog.
Roller Coaster 10 min 4.0 Hz to 22.0 Hz This action-packed session is very engaging and lots of fun with constantly changing colors. Some with ADHD can benefit.
Sharpen the Mind 1 – 20 min 19 Hz to 21 Hz
A great way to get going in the morning without caffeine. This session helps reduce ADHD and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) symptoms. Use faster frequencies with caution, as they may increase temporary anxiety in some people. (RAVE & HRV)
Sharpen the Mind 2 – 20 min 20 Hz to 23 Hz Like Sharpen the Mind 1 but with a higher target frequency. May give a more energizing or intense feeling. Use to really get going in the morning without coffee. Use faster frequencies with caution. Some people find this session a bit too intense. (RAVE & HRV)
AVE EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Restabilization (EMDR) is a technique used by mental health professionals to treat trauma. EMDR enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. A key part of EMDR involves moving the eyes left and right throughout a desensitization process during therapy. Follow the lights with your eyes. Should be used with a qualified therapist.
EMDR 0.3 Hz 60 min 0.3 Hz Uses a 3.3-second cycle (looking left for 1.65 seconds and then right for 1.65 seconds). Rose color in eyeset.
13

EMDR 60 min – 0.4 Hz Uses a 2.5-second cycle (looking left for 1.25 seconds and then right for 1.25 seconds). Rose color in eyeset.
EMDR 60 min – 0.5 Hz Uses a 2-second cycle (looking left for 1 second and then right for 1 second). Rose color in eyeset.
EMDR 60 min – 0.8 Hz Uses a 1.25-second cycle (looking left for .625 seconds and then right for .625 seconds). Rose color in eyeset.
EMDR 60 min – 1 Hz Uses a 1-second cycle (looking left for .5 seconds and then right for .5 seconds). Rose color in eyeset.
AVE Gamma
There are several studies using gamma frequencies for dementia and Alzheimer’s. Gamma was used in the Iaccarino (MIT) study on reducing amyloid plaques in mice and in the Singer study for stimulating non-inflammatory cytokines. Gamma 38 42 Hz – 40 min 38 Hz to 42 Hz This is mildly randomized per our belief that mild randomization is better than a fixed frequency. (RAVE & HRV) Pure Gamma 40 min 40 Hz There are several studies using gamma for dementia and Alzheimer’s. This format was used in the Iaccarino (MIT) study on reducing amyloid plaques in mice. (HRV) SMR-Gamma 30 min 13Hz – 40 Hz – 14 42 14Hz SMR is the 1/3rd harmonic of gamma. Some users have reported beneficial boosts in cognition.
AVE Ganzfeld
Ganzfeld is a steady color on (does not have a flashing frequency). Chakra healing comprises of the seven chakras, each of which has an associated color and note on the musical scale. The tones that can be heard are (C trough B on the 3rd octave on a piano) and used during chakra meditation. The Ganzfeld sessions are fixed colors with a constant tone. Ganzfeld is used for passive meditation. Blue – 60 min 0 Hz Blue is believed to increase lower alpha in the 8 to 10 Hz brain wave activity. Includes ocean waves audio with standard tone.
14

Chakra – Red to Violet – 60 min 0 Hz Starts at red and ends up at violet. Includes the chakra tones from the middle C note to B note. Great for tuning the chakras. Includes ocean waves audio with chakra-based tones. Green – 60 min 0 Hz Green is believed to increase upper alpha in the 10 to 12 Hz brain wave activity. Includes ocean waves audio with standard tone. Orange 60 min – 0 Hz Orange is believed to increase 15 to 18 Hz brain wave activity. Includes ocean waves audio with standard tone. Rainbow Red Violet 60 min 0 Hz Starts at red and ends up at violet. Great for tuning the chakras. Includes ocean waves audio with standard tone. Rainbow Violet Red 60 min 0 Hz Starts at violet and ends up at red. Great for tuning the chakras. Includes ocean waves audio with standard tone. Red 60 min 0 Hz Red is believed to increase 18 to 22 Hz brain wave activity. Includes ocean waves audio with standard tone. Violet 60 min 0 Hz Violet is believed to increase theta in the 5 to 7 Hz brain wave band. Includes ocean waves audio with standard tone. Yellow 60 min 0 Hz Yellow is believed to increase 12 to 15 Hz sensory motor rhythm (SMR) brain wave activity. Includes ocean waves audio with standard tone.
AVE – Custom
Space to store your custom or user-designed sessions (requires DAVID Studio).
AVE – Research
Research Sessions are based on emerging and impressive physiological research, but without significant clinical studies.
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) circulation boosting sessions are based on research by Williams et al 2023, where they found that by turning on/off visual stimulation at 30 second cycles, there is an increase in
15

cerebral blood flow. In order to balance intracranial pressure, the brain pushes CSF out. But when the stimulation stops, the intracranial blood volume reduces, and the brain pulls in CSF. About 10% wholebrain CSF is exchanged on each 30 second cycle. Eight, 12 and 40 Hz were found to produce more pumping than other frequencies.
CSF Circulate 22 min – 12 Hz CSF Circulate 22 min – 40 Hz CSF – Circulate 22 min – 8 Hz
The research pain sessions are based on studies by Han 2003 where he found that 2 Hz CES produced large increases in endorphins while 100 Hz produced large increases in dynorphins. Moderate increases in both neurotransmitters happened about at 14 Hz. Two Hz and 100 Hz frequencies needed to be changed every few seconds to be effective for pain reduction. These sessions have fast cycles of 2 and 14 Hz, followed by 14 Hz for 10 seconds. The complete cycle repeats every 30 seconds.
Pain & Mood Booster 30 min Left 10 Hz/Right 20 Hz CES & RAVE for pain and boosting mood. This is the endorphin/dynorphin process as described above with added Mood Booster for increasing mood and happiness.
Pain & Relaxation 30 min 10 Hz CES & RAVE for pain and relaxation. This is the endorphin/dynorphin process as described above with added Healthy Alpha RAVE.
CES SESSION DESCRIPTIONS (WARNING DO NOT USE CES IF YOU HAVE A PACEMAKER) Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) was developed in Russia in the 1950s and was known as electrosleep. Since that time, over 200 studies on depression, anxiety, pain, substance abuse, and more have been completed. Simply wet your earlobes well, put the electrodes on and bring up the stimulus. The 50% duty-cycle means that the stimulus is on for half of the time at all frequencies. This is a much stronger stimulus than a standard pulse. The effect is most pronounced in delta and sub-delta frequencies. Some people find this makes them nauseous, while others love the effect. Most Gamma CES research has been using a fixed frequency at 40 Hz. However, customer feedback has been that mildly randomized gamma stimulation is preferred and so we have included that format.
CES sessions are available in three different time lengths:
20-Minute Sessions For short relief or relaxation. 45-Minute Sessions For full relief or relaxation effect. 3-Hour Sessions For extended relief or relaxation use.

Description
MET Reduce physical discomfort through direct stimulation of the affected area. Sub-Delta 50% Duty Cycle Reduce physical discomfort and produce endorphins. If the effect is too strong, use the MET or Delta session. Delta Reduce physical discomfort by producing endorphins. Use to relieve pain. Promotes a relaxed state of mind. May reduce alertness and promote sleep. May be used as an alternate MET session. Delta 50% Duty Cycle Reduce physical discomfort. Use cautiously, as strong stimulation may be uncomfortable for some. Theta Promotes a relaxed state of mind. May reduce alertness and promote sleep. Theta 50% Duty Cycle Promotes relaxed state of mind. Use with caution as strong stimulation may be uncomfortable for some. Alpha Promotes a relaxed and calm state of mind. May help with meditation or reducing anxiety. SMR Promotes a relaxed and passively alert state of mind. Good for relaxing without feeling drowsy. Beta Promotes a relaxed and alert state of mind. May help to focus attention. Gamma Randomized Benefits cognitive functioning as gamma is the master rhythm in the brain. Gamma Fixed Same as Gamma Randomized but fixed frequency at 40 Hz.
100 Hz – Most popular for reducing anxiety and improving sleep.
Research – Based on Ji-Sheng Han’s research showing neuropeptide release produced by electrical stimulation of different frequencies.

EYESET COLORS
Eyeset colors coincide with the research done by Marvin Sams and Nancy White, where they found that colors influence brain waves. The colors in many of the sessions will change as the frequency changes. The applications of the colors shown in the color wheel are generalities, based on client observations. The colors may be changed in the Session Settings.

WARNINGS
NOTICE TO HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS:
It is the responsibility of the health care provider to complete a proper intake addressing the following warnings.
AUDIO-VISUAL ENTRAINMENT (AVE):
If you are an epileptic, photic epileptic, or have any history of seizures: We recommend that all persons who have a history of epilepsy, photic epilepsy, or have ever had a seizure of any kind not use AVE unless under the supervision of a health care professional who is qualified in the safe detection of seizures.
If you have had a brain injury or suffer from any mental disorder or psychiatric illness: We recommend that people who have had a brain injury or have a history of psychiatric illness or mental disorders not use AVE unless under the supervision of a qualified health care professional.
If you are taking drugs or using alcohol: We recommend that people currently using drugs and/or excessive alcohol consumption, not use AVE unless under the supervision of a qualified health care professional.
If you are a first-time Premier user: We advise that you always remain seated or reclined while using the DAVID Premier. We also suggest that new users begin sessions with low brightness in the eyeset. If at any time during a session, you begin to feel vertigo, nausea, euphoria, or a sense of mental instability, lower the intensity of the eyeset and lower the volume of the tones or discontinue the session.
The AVE stimulation of the DAVID Premier is non-invasive. All resulting effects are produced in the brain solely by Audio-Visual Stimulation.
CRANIO-ELECTRO STIMULATION (CES):
If you have a heart pacer: We recommend that people who have a heart pacer DO NOT use CES. The electrical signals may cause the pacer to malfunction, leading to serious injury or death.
If you have epilepsy, brain tumor, or stroke: We recommend that people who have epilepsy, brain tumor, or have had a stroke, not use CES unless under the supervision of a qualified health care professional.
If you have skin lesions: We recommend not placing electrodes over skin lesions, new scars, cuts, eruptions, or sunburn. Setting the intensity too high may result in a mild irritation or blistering of the skin. Set the intensity to a lower level so that the stimulus is only mildly noticeable. Double-blind studies show that CES works at the sub-threshold (below feeling) level.
Do not use CES while driving or operating hazardous machinery.
29

MICROCURRENT ELECTRO THERAPY (MET): If you have a heart pacer: We recommend that people who have a heart pacer DO NOT use MET. The electrical signals may cause pacer malfunction. Do not place probes over skin lesions, new scars, cuts, eruptions or sunburn. Do not use while driving or operating hazardous machinery.
PRECAUTIONS
Traumatic Childhood Experiences: The DAVID Premier can cause the release of suppressed memories. If traumatic memories surface during or after a session, be certain to seek appropriate support. Startle Response: If abruptly returning to a normal conscious state, the user may feel disoriented, nauseous, or experience a headache. All preset sessions in the DAVID Premier are programmed to end with the lights and sounds gradually fading out (Soft OffTM) to avoid a startle response. Whenever possible, end all sessions with Soft Off. Orthostatic Hypotension: Occasionally when a person becomes very relaxed during a session, their blood pressure may fall significantly. We advise rising slowly after a session.
DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
Mind Alive Inc., its employees, its authorized dealers, and distributors shall not be held liable for any claim, demand, action, cause of action, liability or damages arising out of any injuries resulting from malfunction or defect of the DAVID Delight whether willful or negligent either to persons or damage to property of the purchaser, employees of the purchaser, persons designated by the purchaser for training in the use of the DAVID Delight, clients or patients of the purchaser, any other person, designated by the purchaser for any purpose, prior to or subsequent to acceptance, delivery, installation and use of the DAVID Delight either at the premises of Mind Alive Inc. or the premises of its dealers or distributors, or the purchaser’s premises. The purchaser, employees of the purchaser, clients or patients of the purchaser, or any other person designated by the purchaser for any purpose, hereby undertake to waive and disclaim any action in respect of the aforesaid terms as above.
