POSITIVE LOOPS SESSIONS
1. File: 15_min_Alpa_Theta_positive_LOOP.PR2
A simple positive loop biofeedback program in range of 12 to 4 Hz.
The first 2.5 min "No Bfck" segment stimulates from 21 Hz down to 12 Hz and changes the lights from green to red and sound up to 220 Hz. This is the starting position for the main biofeedback controlled segment of 10 min. When the EDR 1 sensitivity setting (default 61%) is reached the lights are green, the frequency drops down to 4 Hz and the tone will be as low as 40Hz.
The fade out "No Bfck" segment ramps in 2.5 min from 4 Hz green to 14 Hz red.
This program has been designed for self controlled total positive feedback and it reinforces the relaxation / meditation process.
2. FILE: 15_min_Alpa_Beta_positive_LOOP.PR2
AS 15_min_Alpa_Theta_positive_LOOP.PR2 but starting from 21 Hz red to 7 Hz green.
3. FILE: 20_min_Theta_Beta_positive_LOOP.PR2
AS 15_min_Alpa_Theta_positive_LOOP.PR2 but starting from 21 Hz red to 4 Hz green.
Default GSR sensitivity is set to 106%.
4. FILE: 25_min_Theta_High_Beta_positive_LOOP.PR2
AS 15_min_Alpa_Theta_positive_LOOP.PR2 but starting from 28 Hz red to 4 Hz green.
Default GSR sensitivity is set to 247%.
NEGATIVE LOOPS SESSIONS
5. FILE: 15_min_Alpa_Theta_negative_LOOP.PR2
Here you have a sample design of a negative biofeedback loop. The intro segment ramps down from 21 Hz red to 4 Hz green. Relaxation will then increase the light frequency and shift the color towards red and increase the tone pitch. At 61% (default) relative change the program stimulates reaches its maximum at 12 Hz red, 120 Hz pitch. The closing segment ramps from 12 to 14 Hz.
The negative loop feels quite different from the positive loop. It is in most cases much more difficult to reach the predefined GSR change. Compare it with a car ride simulation: the car will slow down when you get excited or loose your focus and move faster the more you relax and focus. But your first reaction to the acceleration is more tension and in that case the car will decelerate or even stop again. It needs some time to learn reacting with "relaxation" to a stress factor.
This principle may be transferred into "real" situations like controlling pain, fear or even anger. I call it "the braking of the positive loop". It has to do with learning of "letting go" in a predefined framework as you can not force focused relaxation. Being able to deal with the negative loop may be the key to shifting back and forth in different states/modes of consciousness. (without getting lost!)
6. FILE: 15_min_Alpa_Beta_negative_LOOP.PR2
Same as "15_min_Alpa_Theta_negative_LOOP.PR2" but in 7 Hz green to 21 Hz red range.
7. FILE: 20_min_Theta_Beta_negative_LOOP.PR2
As "15_min_Alpa_Theta_negative_LOOP.PR2" but total of 20 min and 4 to 21 Hz.
Default GSR sensitivity is set to 106%.
8. FILE : 25_min_Theta_High_Beta_negative_LOOP.PR2
As "15_min_Alpa_Theta_negative_LOOP.PR2" but total of 25 min and 4 Hz to 28 Hz.
Default GSR sensitivity is set to 247%.
MONITORING SESSIONS
The monitoring sessions are designed to supply with information of the progress of the session but are not directly interacting. This way the session runs in a preprogrammed mode: the L/S stimulation will not change in relation to the GSR.
The tone frequency and the color shift do monitor the GSR relative change.
9. FILE : 15_min_Alpha_Monitor.PR2
The default 61% of relative GSR change is being monitored in the 10 min segment by changing to green and lower tone.
10. FILE : 15_min_Theta_Monitor.PR2
The default 61% of relative GSR change is being monitored in the 10 min segment by changing to green and lower tone.
11. FILE: 30_min_Alpha_Theta_Alpha_Monitor.PR2
30 Min program monitoring with sound pitch and lights color.
12. File: 30_min_Alpha_Theta_Alpha_Ride_Monitor.PR2
Similar to "30_min_Alpha_Theta_Alpha _Monitor.PR2" but there is an additional segment in the theta range. It will lower the intensity of the lights with a slight shift to green when relaxing and focusing.
MIXED MODES
13. FILE: 20_min_Bio_Ride_Mix.PR2
This is a sample for a "Biofeedback Ride": a mixed mode -monitoring, positive and negative loop-, complex program for learning attention to and dealing with inner changes.
14. FILE: 25_min_Bio_Ride_Mix.PR2
This is another sample for a "Biofeedback Ride": a mixed mode -monitoring, positive and negative loop-, complex program for learning attention to and dealing with inner changes.
