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.

Those observations led to some remarkable findings dealing with the very nature of human consciousness. Researchers learned specific sounds could be blended and sequenced to gently lead the brain to various states ranging from deep relaxation or sleep to expanded states of awareness and other "extraordinary" states. This compelling research became the foundation of a noninvasive and easy-to-use audio-guidance technology known as Hemi-Sync®.

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.

Metamusic®

From soul-stirring music to the timeless popularity of classical music, Metamusic combines delightful musical selections with renowned Hemi-Sync® sound technologies to entertain and benefit the listener. Many titles feature special blends of Alpha, Delta, and Theta frequencies to quiet distracting mental activity in order to facilitate meditation or support relaxation and focus. Some selections feature a predominance of Beta frequencies for focus and concentration or Delta frequencies for sleep enhancement to promote a useful and applied application for your listening experience. Use Metamusic to enhance focus and concentration, for expanding awareness through musical imagery, for deeper, more profound relaxation, or simply for musical enjoyment, but NOT while driving or operating heavy machinery.
