DIY Neuro Tech Brain Wave Stuff

(Seriously, I imagine this guy building sci-fi goggles in the basement and trying to explain it all to his wife... hilarious!)

It turns out that you can build your own braintech stuff. And you can buy some basic stuff and then build it. For example the NP2 (transparentcorp.com) is allegedly the best and most flexible audio+video program creator (and comes with lots of stuff and you can edit that stuff too) ($60 US).

You can build or buy LED or high-output LED goggles. (You don't have to buy an expensive brain-mind machine.) You can use an MP3 player or computer for sound.

If you only want audio, BWGEN is shareware and programs that, google it.

There used to be this great audio freq tech program Audicity but Adobe bought it and renamed it Audition, and now it costs $200 instead of $30. Still a good program, but . . .

Audiostrobe (audiostrobe.com) is products and media and company name and technology name, also an industry standard plus used as a generality not just a brand (the way 'bandaid' and 'jello' tend to be) which makes it damn confusing when you're new to the subject. That format basically means audio and video are encoded 'together' so that goggles will work as well as whatever headphone things are going on. They have a 'decoder' that will take regular music (say, the Beatles) and put photic (video pulsing) to it based on the audio. They sell LED goggles, various brain-mind machines, and custom MP3s with 'audiostrobe sessions' on them.

The word 'sessions' is the primary one used to mean 'a program you listen to' which is a/v/a+v. Funny since Remote Viewing is my last 13 years of life where 'sessions' is the primary word too.

Some output file formats such as from NP2, are simply done in WAV format you can convert to MP3 on your own. The audio effectiveness is not affected by this but video really depends on the quality so the highest encoding bitrate (320) should be used if you want to use it in an 'audiostrobe fashion' with goggles of some kind.
