DAVID Delight Pro is a digital audio-visual entrainment (AVE) device, designed to support you in your quest for wellness by promoting various areas of the brain to work together in a harmonious fashion. Through the use of AVE, you may experience yourself in a new and beneficial way.

 

 

The DAVID Delight Pro provides a unique fusion of audio-visual entrainment (also known as brainwave entrainment) and cranial-electro stimulation (CES) with sophistication and simplicity.

Sessions have been thoroughly tested and are designed based on most current research findings to ensure you the most effective results. The sessions on the Delight are supported by research studies which include Seasonal Affective Disorder, stress reduction, insomnia, improved mood, mental sharpness and balance (reduced risk of falling) in seniors, and reduced worry plus improvements in concentration and memory in college students.

The Delight Pro sessions also include our proprietary randomization process, which helps encourage dissociation and brain frequency tracking to the stimulus.

The Delight Pro features larger easy-to-read, easy-to-operate buttons and allows users to select a session very easily.

It features five distinct categories of sessions: Energize, Meditate, Brain Brightener, Sleep and Mood Booster, with five selections for each category. It also includes five auto playing Sound Sync Sessions and five locations for you to store sessions you design with the DAVID session editor.

Also includes popular 100 Hz CES with any session.

The Delight Pro also features night-vue ability, which allows the user to see the session select buttons in the dark at bedtime or at night.

Many users of the DAVID Delight Pro have reported experiencing:  

	Deep relaxation while feeling more energized
	Visual images, colors and patterns
	The sense of feeling “grounded” and calm
	Increased mental clarity for resolving problems
	Enhanced interpersonal relationships
	Cheerfulness Mental sharpness

 How and why do these sensations occur?

Several changes take place during and following an AVE session:

1. AVE involves dissociation. Dissociating is the first step towards effective clearing of the mind and meditation. This clearing of thoughts and loss of body awareness is similar to what an experienced meditator would achieve. 
2. Cerebral blood flow increases. Most cognitive and emotional disorders involve areas of the brain that are low in blood flow. A study by Fox and Reichle (1985) showed AVE increased cerebral blood flow up to 28%. 
3. EEG activity changes. The concept of entrainment is about altering brainwave activity. Quantitative EEG (QEEG) studies have confirmed the normalization of brain activity following an AVE session. Aberrant brainwave activity in various conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADD, seasonal affective disorder, chronic fatigue, etc., may be restructured into healthier patterns. 
4. Neurotransmitters change. Shealy et al. (1989) has shown that serotonin and norepinephrine increase following the use of AVE.

AUDIO-VISUAL ENTRAINMENT (AVE)

To ensure safe, gentle and effective audio-visual entrainment (AVE), the DAVID Delight offers the following:

	Tru-Vu Omniscreen Eyesets - Our unique Tru-Vu Omniscreen Eyesets were carefully designed to provide you with the most effective and safe light and sound experience. This special patented process allows the Delight to stimulate a different frequency in each hemisphere of the brain. This is essential for mood boosting and mental performance. The Tru-Vu Omniscreen Eyesets for the Delight use eight blue-tinted white LEDs mounted over a silver reflector behind a translucent screen. This disperses the light evenly. Our Tru-Vu Omniscreen Eyesets are specially designed to allow for the left and right visual fields of each eye to be individually stimulated rather than the entire eye. With the Tru-Vu Omniscreen Eyesets, the lights flash into the left visual fields of both eyes, then alternately flashes into the right visual fields of both eyes. This approach allows the ability to stimulate either visual cortex with a frequency different from the other visual cortex. For example, a person who functions strongly from the left brain could have 8 Hz stimulated into the right visual field (and therefore the left brain) to slow down left brain function and have 18 Hz stimulated into the left visual field to increase right brain function.
	Isochronic Pulsed Tones, Binaural Beats and Monaural - The tones of the DAVID Delight are evenly spaced, are of equal pitch and are turned on and off at a specified rate. This is important to enhance the effectiveness of audio entrainment.
	Soft-Off - The gradual lowering of the lights and tones at the end of the session prevents a startle response (also known as somnatic shock). Soft-Off ensures that relaxation and other benefits carry over even after a session has ended.
	Battery Power Indicator - At a quick glance you can tell if your battery has enough power to run your session. New eyeset technology allows for much longer life for your 9-volt battery.
	Easy-To-Find Power, Intensity and Volume Buttons - The power, intensity and volume buttons are raised so that you can make the necessary adjustments easily and quickly, even with your eyes closed. Adjust the intensity of the Omniscreen Eyeset with the easy-to-find INT button.
	25 Preset Sessions - Five sessions in each category: Energize, Meditate, Brain Booster, Sleep and Mood Booster.
	5 Sound Sync Sessions - Each category also has a Sound Sync Session to turn your music into an intriguing light show. All sessions include HRV and begin with a 3-stage process that enhances dissociation.

HEART RATE VARIABILITY (HRV):

For the first time, a system exists where meditative breathing may be paced along with an audio-visual entrainment (AVE) session. This technique has been borrowed from our clinical model, the DAVID Paradise XL^TM. Long, graceful breathing cycles have been used as part of meditation. Scientifically, this technique has been analysed and shown to settle down a stressed autonomic nervous system. Both sympathetic (flight-or-fight) activity and para-sympathetic (the brain's efforts to compensate) activity settle down dramatically using HRV techniques.

The heart speeds up with every breath in and slows down with every breath out. This swing in heart rate is HRV. A typical heart beat swing is in the order of about 15 beats per minute (pbm). When people get stressed, the heart typically clamps to sometimes as low as five bpm HRV at times intermixed with sharp spikes in heart rate. This is all abnormal activity and is rough on the heart.

The HRV technique used clinically is based on a 10 second breathing cycle (six breaths/minute, by inhaling slowly for five seconds and exhaling slowly for five seconds in an easy, relaxed breath). When using HRV paced breathing, listen to the heartbeat generated by the DAVID  through the headphones. Inhale for two heartbeats and exhale for two heartbeats (not your own heartbeats!). Most sessions begin at seven breathing cycles/minute (28 heartbeats/min) and slow to six breaths /minute (24 heartbeats/min). This allows the user to breathe a little faster at the onset of a session until he/she has had time to relax.

DAVID SESSION EDITOR

Designed for all fo the DAVIDs and CESta, the DAVID Session Editor is graphics software that allows for any type of session to be designed and downloaded into your DAVID. 

It provides programmability for all functions such as: rates, volume, intensity, tones, number of replays, etc. It includes a complete library of preset sessions to use as templates to help you design your own sessions. The library also includes an "erase all" PAL wave file - for any clinician to install a "prescription" of only the sessions that the clinician wants the client to use.

Clinicians can also set the number of times a session can be played. After all of the sessions have been played, the client would need to return to the clinician for a "refill". This allows the clinician to closely monitor which sessions are being used and how often they are being used.

About Cranial-Electro Stimulation (CES)

Expected Results with CES

CES devices send tiny electrical impulses to the brain through a stimulation cable attached to the earlobe.  CES has been shown to increase serotonin and endorphins.      

CES is an effective non-drug approach to relieve discomfort, assist with sleeping and calming of the mind. 

Although individual levels of improvement may vary, medical research reveals dramatic improvements in mental functioning including:

• Deep Relaxation
• Improved Memory
• Mental Clarity
• Mood Elevation
• Improved Learning
• Sound Sleep
• Increased Concentration
• Increased Vitality
• Reduction of Psychosomatic Conditions
• Assisting Substance Abuse Recovery

Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) was developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1940s as a treatment for insomnia and has since been used by millions of people all over the world. Most research over the past 25 years has shown that CES reduces anxiety and improves cognition in recovering drug addicts and alcoholics. Pete Townsend, formerly of the band "The Who", found CES was the most effective treatment for his drug addiction recovery.

Research demonstrates that CES produces a mild stimulation in the hypothalamic area of the brain, resulting in balancing neurotransmitter activity (in particular Beta Endorphin and Norepinephrine). The effects achieved are similar to that of a "jogger's high".

About Micro-TENS

Although electromedicine has been in existence for well over a thousand years, developments in electronics and new research has seen this technology grow at a terrific rate in recent years. Micro-TENS is very different than traditional TENS because Micro-TENS produces its benefits in part on a cellular level. Micro-TENS has longer lasting effects than TENS.  Micro-TENS is also commonly referred to as Microcurrent-Electrical Therapy. 

The concept of Micro-TENS is based, in part, on Arndt’s Law, which states that weak stimuli excite physiological activity, whereas medium-strength stimuli will encourage it and strong stimuli will suppress it.

It is believed that Micro-TENS delivered at around 500 micro-amps in the 0.5 to 3 Hz range may be most effective for treating pain.

 

Intro to  Audio-Visual Entrainment	Non-Drug Approach to Attention Deficit Disorder
Non-Drug Approach to Seasonal Affective Disorder	Non-Drug Approach to Stress, Anxiety and Insomnia

Delta Waves are quick, low amplitude waves of 14 to 40 times per second (Hz). Beta brainwave patterns are generated naturally when in an awake, focused and alert state of consciousness.

Alpha Waves are between 8 and 13 Hz and occur during sensorial rest (eg. when the eyes are closed), intellectual relaxation, deep relaxation or meditation.  Alpha brainwave rhythms produce: peaceful feelings, warm hands and feet, a sense of well-being, improved sleep, improved academic performance, increased productivity in the workplace, reduced anxiety and improved immune functioning. It is believed that many creative geniuses, such as Einstein, were in a semi-permanent Alpha state.

Alpha/Theta Border are the Schumann Resonance and the State Five Meditation sessions. At the Alpha/Theta border (7 to 8 Hz), exceptional insights and personal transforming experiences can occur.

Theta Waves are between 4 and 8 Hz and are commonly referred to as the dream or "twilight" state. Theta is associated with hypnogogic states, REM and dreaming. Memory development is enhanced in this state. In the Theta brainwave state, memory is improved (particularly long term memory), and access to unconscious material, reveries, free association, sudden insight and creative ideas is increased.

Delta Waves are observed when in a sleeping state. As we fall asleep the dominant natural brainwave becomes Delta. Delta waves are the slowest of brainwaves spanning from 1 to 4 Hz in frequency. There is growing evidence that individuals may maintain a slightly conscious state while in Delta
