These lights flash at predetermined frequencies, and are coupled with specific tones that are received through headphones. The light emitting from the glasses and rate of the flicker introduced by way of the optic nerve creates a matching effect, or induction, between the mind and the set rate of flickering, thereby moving the mind to either more energetic or into deeply relaxing states. Frequencies are determined by the preferred outcome.
Frequency Following Response
The induction method by which this occurs is known as Frequency Following Response (FFR). Through this natural response mechanism, the mind matches the corresponding visual and auditory stimulus. Two common examples demonstrating a typical relaxation response are when gazing into a gently flickering flame, or the effect of soothing music upon the listener. Type of results AVS offers
The induction into higher arousal states induced by higher frequencies of our special, broad-spectrum white LED lights is theorized to provide enhanced mental activity, which can result in cognitive improvement. The induction to lower states of mental activity through specific lower frequency rates has been found to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress thereby promoting feelings of calmness and deep relaxation, allowing the mind to operate more efficiently with greater
clarity. Workplace Stress and Health
Among the greatest contributors to stress is the workplace. Our quality of life is directly related to our health. When we do not feel good, or we develop chronic conditions, our ability to perform our jobs and our quality of life both suffer. The British Medical Journal released the
findings of the largest study ever on workplace stress, January 21, 2006. The study followed more than 10,000 British civil servants over a 14-year period, and found a possible biological explanation for why workplace stress adversely effects health. Researchers from
University College London discovered links between elevated levels of work stress and metabolic syndrome, which is associated with a group of factors - such as obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol - that increase the risk of heart disease and Type II diabetes. "Employees with chronic work stress have more than double the odds of the syndrome than those without work stress,
after other factors are taken into account," the researchers reported. Male workers who suffered from chronic work stress were twice as likely to develop metabolic syndrome than those who said they had little workplace pressure. And women with chronic stress, though they were a small group in the study, were more likely to develop metabolic syndrome.
The researchers said it was possible that prolonged exposure to work stress affects the nervous system, and that it could reduce biological resilience, which would disturb the body's physiological balance. See the following articles for further information. See Forbes
