Alpha Sound Technology

Hello,

In this post I will talk about Alpha Sound Technology, what it is and why it is effective. After using the computer software Sculptor 3 (here is the link:http://www.goal-attaining.com/) I noticed that this product boasted about using "alpha sound technology", but I nor anyone I talked to knew what such a thing was. After researching this topic I have posted my findings below.

The term Alpha refers to the frequency in which the sound is emitted at. For those of you that are unfamiliar; sound travels in waves which have corresponding frequencies. The frequency determines how many times it repeats in a certain time. The human threshold for frequencies is now lower than 20 cycles per second. This means that we cannot detect alpha waves, but past researchers reported large advantages of the alpha sound. Scientists were able to "synthesize" this sound by using a 600 cycles audio generator and interrupting the sound 10 times per second.

When a person is exposed to these "alpha sounds" their brain synchronizes into a more focused/aware state. This means that each half (left and right) focuses on the same waves to "hear" not only the sound coming in through your left of right ear, but a third "ghost" tone. The technical term for this "ghost" tone is a binaural beat and it pulses at the exact difference between the two tones. For example if a wave coming in your right ear was 90cps(cycles per second) and the other in your left ear was 100cps the binaural beat would be 10cps.

The effects of this binaural beat is seen in any form of mental meditation, cases of "insight" or euphoria. This mental meditation could be yoga, changing, meditation, etc., but only individuals who are masters at meditation can attain such a heightened state.

Science has enabled us to gain the benefits of mental meditation and euphoria without years of practice and concentration. This is the utilization of alpha sound technology. Not only do these states of meditation make us feel good, but EEG studies conducted at Harvard Body Mind Medical School and UCLA concluded that Brain Wave Audio Technology® prompts brain activity into an extraordinary body-mind states. Which translates to an actual improvement in your physical state.

The utilization of alpha sound technology allows scientists and marketers to create certain binaural beats that stimulate and influence specific areas of the mind. For example a website advertises the elimination of jet lag using alpha wave technology. It seems this new technology could be very beneficial.


In conclusion, the proven scientific elements incorporated in the Sculptor 3 software are valid. It might seem like scientific jargon advertising alpha sound technology, but has proven to be extremely effective. I was very surprised in the findings on how effective alpha sound technology is and know it is a key reason why Sculptor 3 is so effective.

Subliminal Messages

Hi guys,

I was hoping we could start a discussion on the ethics of subliminal messages.

In the 1950s, an advertising expert named James Vicary, started testing subliminal advertising in movie theaters. He inserted subliminal frames containing the words, "EAT POPCORN" and "DRINK COKE" within the reels of film. During the movie, the subliminal messages went by so fast that the unsuspecting audience didn't consciously see the words, but their subconscious minds perceived the suggestions. As a result, Coke sales jumped 18.1% and popcorn sales skyrocketed by 57.7%.

Here is just an example of the effectiveness of subliminal messages. Do you think using subliminal messages is ethical?

Affirmations

Grasping Your Goals

Throughout my entire life I have heard people tell me to think positively. I would think to myself ok, 'things are going well and I can do it'. Whenever I would be in the weight room the coach would always yell "You can do it!" to any person struggling under the heavy weights. Unfortunately these statements meant nothing to me, and only provided a repetitive statement that seemed to conflict with my cynical and sarcastic mindset.

I could make no connection between my mind set and my current position in life. As I continued through my life I would see people content every day and wonder how they could maintain their happiness. I began researching what positive thinking is and the effect it has. In conclusion, every site rationalized that if a person wants to attain anything they need to set goals and constantly keep reminding themselves of their goals.

While researching I came across a site that advertised "the power of affirmations and how to attain any goal you set". At this point I was very tired of people telling me what I need to do, and showing me no way to do it. I bought the advertised software.

After I started using the software I was surprised by its ease of use and efficiency. I was setting goals left and right and actually reaching them! The software provided me with incredible methods for implementing positive thinking and goal setting. For anyone who wants to reach a goal I highly recommend this software.
