The General Idea The NeuroVIZR provides sensory brain enrichment using light and sound. Your eyes are closed the entire time. There is nothing special for you to do other than give it your attention. Actually, enjoying it increases the effect. In a way, it’s a bit like watching a movie…inside your head! The premise behind the NeuroVIZR experience has its foundation in something called “neuroplasticity” and “sensory enrichment”.
The General Idea continued Other famous sayings from neuroplasticity are “Fire it to Wire it”, “Use it or Lose it” and “The Brain changes What Matters”. Basically, it is possible to “exercise” your brain using light and sound. The approach is very similar to exercise for your body. Even modest regular exercise creates attractive positive changes and benefits for the whole body. The same is true for your brain and light/sound enrichment can be surprisingly effective.
The General Idea The approach considers ranges of creative entertainment, consciousness exploration and a unique form of sensory exercise. Another perspective is the principle of “enrichment” which can be seen as parallel to “exercise”. It is well known that intriguing, sensory-rich experiences promote stable and even advanced brain health. This leads one to the three-step NeuroVIZR motto of “Engage. Enrich. Enjoy”.
How Long and How Often Pretty much all the things you know about your body in general also apply to your brain. That should be no surprise because your body is your brain, your brain is your body. The idea of separating them is rather abstract. First of all, every NeuroVIZR experience (called a “composition”) is 11 minutes long. That time is standard and totally sufficient for a good effect. You don’t have to set any timer. It will stop by itself.
How Long and How Often Also, just like your body, this light/sound brain enrichment exercise will have good effects if you do it on a reasonably regular basis such as 3 to 5 times a week. Less than this is likely to not be enough reinforcement to build up the benefits. Also, like body exercise, what you do outside your sessions as a lifestyle makes a big difference.
What About The Session Itself? As we said before, it is pretty straightforward. Relax, pay attention and enjoy. Adjust the general levels of light intensity and sound to your comfort. It’s a little like listening to common music. Although the song will have varying levels of sound, you can adjust the general volume to the “just right level” however there is something important about your brain you should know.
What About The Session Itself? This is why mixed into the NeuroVIZR light/sound stimulation, you will notice short periods of higher signal demands. Some people like to sit up as in meditation. Others lean back in their lounge chair. Others even like to lay down on their couch or bed. It is up to you, however, do remember that the positive “neuroplastic” brain changes do require conscious attention for the trigger. Let’s be honest, it is easier to space out or even nod off when leaning back or laying back.
Don't Eat and Run You could compare a NeuroVIZR session to the experience of eating a meal. Enjoy the tastes, textures and colors. It can be very satisfying for sure. In a NeuroVIZR session, enjoy the extraordinary colors, sounds, geometrics and shifting qualities of consciousness. The big news is that the actual effects of the NeuroVIZR session begin when the session ends. Following the meal analogy, when the eating ends is when the digestion begins which allows the food to convert into nutrition.
Don't Eat and Run The period following the 11-minute light/sound stimulation is technically called “hyperplasticity” which means your brain is in a sensitive state to uptake information. It is a state of “open-mindedness”, you could say. This wonderful state will tend to last for one to two hours as it slowly diminishes. This is a great opportunity to increase the benefits of the session and extend the effects.
Don't Eat and Run You may also feel a little disoriented or dizzy as your brain attempts to rapidly adjust to the external sensory demands while it is also attempting to “digest” the light/sound experience. So, stay comfortable and perhaps slip into a meditation or follow your breath. Give yourself at least 5 minutes and move along with the attractive integration sensations that follow the experience. Please don’t “just eat and run”! The NeuroVIZR app also has an embedded NeuroBreathing feature.
Which Session to Choose? The NeuroVIZR comes with a list of Themes from which to choose. The Themes give a range of choices that represent a spectrum of interests ranging from simple relaxation all the way to exciting exploration. The names are somewhat poetic and are reasonable in describing their intent. For new inexperienced users, the #1 ranking (less neuroplastic demand) can be a good choice.
What kind of effects to expect? There are two basic ways to consider the NeuroVIZR experience, short-term and long-term. A short-term perspective could be called “Help Right Now”. The benefit is a rapid shift in mood or your state of consciousness. This short-term effect is related to your “state”. The long-term perspective involves time and could be called “Brain Shaping”. The long-term effect is related to your “trait”. The NeuroVIZR light/sound experience does not force or command your brain into change.
Is the NeuroVIZR safe? For 99.9% percent of the general population, the NeuroVIZR is safe and will do no harm. It is well known that persons suffering from epilepsy and seizures of any kind should not be exposed to repetitive sensory stimulation because it may trigger a seizure. This is true of flickering light sources such as the NeuroVIZR and the entire class of “Mind Machines” first produced in the 1980’s.
Is the NeuroVIZR safe? Because children are sensitive and legally are minors, using the NeuroVIZR on persons under 18 years old is not advised by NeuroVIZR. There is however some reported positive history of children benefiting from such technology and the responsibility for any such application must be accepted by a qualified professional or personal legal guardian of the minor. NeuroVIZR does not accept such responsibility.
Is the NeuroVIZR safe? From a stand point of conservative safety, the NeuroVIZR has two light sensitivity tests that may be used by first time user. The tests are 15 seconds and 30 seconds long with a range of stimulation. They exist with Light-only stimulation and NO sound. These are simple ways of evaluating a person’s potential reaction to such a light experience. These tests are simple, fast and effective for making a general assessment.
Is the NeuroVIZR safe? Lastly, some individuals who are light sensitive in general or have a low tolerance for any kind of stimulation may experience a temporary mild headache, temporary dizziness or temporary fatigue following a NeuroVIZR experience. If so, consider using lower levels of light intensity and sound volume as well as less complex NeuroVIZR compositions. You will notice that every NeuroVIZR composition is ranked as 1, 2 or 3.
Operations of the NeuroVIZR The NeuroVIZR charges from a power source using the USB-C cable. The unit can be OFF or ON during charging. When turning the unit ON, the LEDs will momentarily light up. Three horizontals indicate a full charge and only one horizontal indicates a low charge. A low charge will still function but only for a limited time – best to recharge the unit as soon as you can. ALWAYS turn the unit OFF after use – it is easy to forget and then the power is drained off unexpectedly.
NeuroVIZR Mobile App General The NeuroVIZR APP is available in either Apple iOS or Android, see insert for download links.

The remaining list gives you access to various Consciousness Collection compositions Themed basically into their broad intentional use or goal – some compositions will appear in more than one group. Click on a choice (eg. SLEEP) and the compositions in this category will appear on screen. Make a selection (eg.
NeuroVIZR Mobile App Specifics Notice the slider bar – it is set at a default of 5 – this slider controls the general intensity of the Light LEDs. Of course, the specific momentary light intensities will vary according to the composition. You will find a basic general Light intensity that is comfortable for you with the default of 5 as a basic reference.
