In a recent study published in Current Biology, researchers have once again proven they can directly influence behavior by altering a subject’s brain waves.
An oscillating electrical current was used to stimulate a specific range of beta activity in test subjects while they manipulated the cursor into a designated spot on a computer screen. Researchers recorded the difference in the amount of time it took to manipulate the cursor with and without the brain wave stimulation and observed a significant difference.
“At last we have some direct experimental proof that brain waves influence behavior in humans, in this case how fast a movement is performed,” said Peter Brown of University College London. “The implication is that it is not just how active brain cells are that is important, but also …Read more
In this powerfully moving video, brain researcher Jill Bolte Taylor recounts what it felt like to have massive stroke. She describes with intense passion the experience of watching her brain functions shut down one by one, losing speech and motor functions, and ultimately losing self-awareness, culminating in a feeling of oneness with everything.
Over the years since the Insight CD was first released, we’ve heard much feedback from customers who love the CD and use it each day. The number one request we received was to create a second version featuring different nature sounds so customers could have variety in their daily listening session.
We are excited to release the Insight: Tranquil Ocean Waves CD, a new version of the Insight CD featuring our harmonically layered brainwave technology and the sound of relaxing ocean waves instead of rain. This CD evolved as a direct result of feedback from our customers.
The new CD provides all the same great benefits and results as the original Insight CD, including stress relief, deep relaxation, improved sleep, and much more.
We’ll continue to offer the original Insight CD as well, so customers will have the option to select the version with the nature sounds they like best or to purchase both versions so they can have more variety from day to day.

Sometimes it is helpful to check in with your physical self and take note of how you are feeling. You may not even realize certain areas are tense until you bring your attention there. This technique is designed to help you pinpoint areas of tension and release the stress from those areas until your whole body feels deeply relaxed.
