Do entrainment methods other than Binaural Beats result in Hemispheric Synchronization?
Hemispheric Synchronization is a byproduct of nearly all types of brainwave entrainment. In 1980, Tsuyoshi Inouye and associates at the Department of Neuropsychiatry at Osaka University Medical School in Japan found that photic stimulation in the alpha range produced hemispheric synchronization. In 1984, Dr. Brockopp analyzed audio-visual brain stimulation and in particular hemispheric synchronization during EEG monitoring. He said “By inducing hemispheric coherence the machine can contribute to improved intellectual functioning of the brain.” There is similar evidence that CES (electrical stimulation), motion systems, acoustic field generators and even floatation tanks can increase EEG symmetry. The NeuroProgrammer takes hemispheric coherence a step further by delivering different stimulation to each ear in certain sessions in order to correct common hemispheric asymmetries. For example, depressed individuals tend to have an overactive right (emotional) brain hemisphere, so the depres
