RESEARCH ON HEMI-SYNC®  

​

Revealing Research for Peak Human Performance

Robert A. Monroe, founder of Hemi-Sync, is internationally known for his work with audio sound patterns that can have dramatic effects on states of consciousness. Monroe observed, during his early research, that certain sounds create a Frequency Following Response in the electrical activity of the brain.

The audio-guidance process works through the generation of complex, multilayered audio signals, which act together to create a resonance that is reflected in unique brain wave forms characteristic of specific states of consciousness. The result is a focused, whole-brain state known as hemispheric synchronization, or Hemi-Sync®, where the left and right hemispheres are working together in a state of coherence. Different Hemi-Sync® signals are used to facilitate deep relaxation, focused attention or other desired states. As an analogy, lasers produce focused, coherent light. Hemi-Sync® produces a focused, coherent mind, which is an optimal condition for improving human performance.

  One of the leading researchers into brain wave synchrony, Dr. Lester Fehmi, of the Princeton Biofeedback Research Institute, points out that "Synchrony represents the maximum efficiency of information transport through the whole brain." This means that brain wave synchrony produces a sharp increase in the effects of various brain wave states. The production of synchronized, coherent electromagnetic energy by the human brain at a given frequency leads to a 'laser-like' condition increasing the amplitude and strength of the brain waves. It's evident that a “highly integrated brain,” a brain, in which both hemispheres are functioning in symmetry, synchrony, harmony and unity, is a key to peak states and peak human performance.

Thanks to the cooperation of notable medical institutions and universities, the scientifically and clinically proven Hemi-Sync® technology continues to be the focus of a variety of specialized research projects. In addition, many therapists, physicians, educators, and other professionals use Hemi-Sync® extensively.

Such research is indispensable in revealing the influence of specific Hemi-Sync® sound patterns on consciousness. Over the years, these efforts have resulted in the development of scores of individual products for specific applications such as focused attention, stress management, meditation, sleep enhancement, and pain management, to name a few.

Attention and Learning Deficit Disorders

The following report describes preliminary results of a study that used a special set of Hemi-Sync tapes for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) in conjunction with amino acid therapy for a group of twelve children.

Introduction

Attention and learning deficits disorders increasingly caused by malnutrition (1), food intolerance (2), resistance to thyroid hormone (3), artificial food additives (4), cerebral glucose metabolism (5), lead intoxication (6), zinc status (7) , 8), and other factors. This syndrome is usually accompanied by hyperactivity. Only a few reports are available on the amino acid balance of these children (9).

All children received amino acid supplements from the beginning of their treatment, in combination with vitamin B6 and restriction of refined carbohydrate consumption. Five children also received Sornson / Monroe (10) Hemi-Sync ADD bands (12 and 16 Hz) simultaneously. Three children started with these bands three, four and six months later, while continuing their nutritional supplement. All observations were made after at least seven months of treatment. The longest observation period with nutritional supplements is more than five years (average 3.2 years).

Results

In all cases in which amino acids were determined, low levels of taurine and asparagine were found, indicating problems with neurotransmission. In addition to low taurine levels, low cystine levels were a constant finding, suggestive of food or food intolerance intolerance. In three children, low levels of glycogenic amino acids were also found. Another constant finding in these children was malabsorption, which is confirmed by protein flocculation test (Sandor-August), and suggested by low levels of urea amino acids. After supplementation of amino acid compounds with vitamin B6 as a coenzyme, all patients gradually showed clear improvements after three to six months.
