USERS GUIDE

WELCOME Congratulations on beginning the Brain Evolution System (BrainEv). This system has been created by Inspire3 as a personal tool to help you develop a sharp, flexible mind with a strong brain to support it. It has also been developed as an ongoing exercise to unleash your creative spark, improve your mental/emotional functioning, while acquainting you with the landscape and self-control of your brain and the mind that commands it. BrainEv uses audio brainwave entrainment technology to help you develop peak mental and emotional states. Achieving your peak mental state, while eradicating unsettling anxieties, has a positive effect on almost every area of your life. You will perform better. You will think more efficiently so that you can respond to every situation with greater flexibility and clarity. This is what the Brain Evolution System is all about - performing and living at your very best. The design of the Brain Evolution System is different from other brainwave products, in that it doesnt provide a singular method to achieve entrainment. BrainEv uses multiple audio brainwave entrainment techniques, at once, via our exclusive 3 Point Dynamic Entrainment Audio Process. (3P D.E.A.P.) This entrainment process is dynamic, meaning it does not use one continuous entrainment stimulus at any given time. This system moves and undulates, just as brainwaves do naturally. Rather than drive the brain to one stagnant entrainment plane, weve taken a fresh approach designed to limber and strengthen the capabilities of the brain in a way that is akin to the challenges and rewards of an ongoing personal fitness plan. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE It is recommended that each disc is listened to for 30 days at 30 minutes a day, six days a week, with one day off per week for reflection. If desired, this reflective period can be spent in quiet silence for 30 minutes, 30 minutes of meditation, or even 30 minutes writing down thoughts about your week. To begin each session, find a place away from distractions so that you can complete your daily sessions without interruption. Arrange your body in a way that will be comfortable for the next 30 minutes. (To promote relaxation, you may wish to stretch a bit to relieve any physical tensions.) You may sit upright, recline, or lay down. Keep your arms and legs uncrossed, as this will facilitate relaxation. Do not listen while performing any activity. It is important that you dedicate this 30 minute period to the program and yourself only. Begin each disc at a comfortable volume without any augmentations to the audio output (such a base boost or any other audio effects). As you listen, do not concentrate on anything. Close your eyes, listen to the rich soundscapes and allow your mind to wander. As thoughts arise, observe them and allow them to dissipate. Take slow, deep breaths and exhale completely to facilitate your relaxation. Keeping note of your experiences in a journal can help you track your development with the system. In order to help you get the best from the Brain Evolution System we also provide customer support online at: http://support.brainev.com/ Note: For maximum benefit, BrainEv requires the usage of stereo headphones. This allows you to localize the effects of this audio technology to each ear separately. Noise canceling technologies may counter the effects of this technology. Any regular pair of comfortable stereo headphones will do, as

technology. Any regular pair of comfortable stereo headphones will do, so long as they provide clarity without distortion. HISTORY OF BRAINWAVES AND BRAINWAVE ENTRAINMENT Brain Entrainment itself has been around for some time. There are many accounts throughout history that point towards sensory stimulations that affect the brains function. Around 200 A.D. Ptolemy noted that when he placed a spinning spoked wheel between an observer and the sun, the flickering of the sunlight projected through the spokes of the wheel could cause perceived patterns and colors to appear before the eyes of the observer and would also produce a feeling of euphoria. At the turn of the century, French psychologist Pierre Janet noticed that when his patients were exposed to flickering lights, at specific rates, they experienced reductions in hysteria and increases in relaxation. Brainwaves themselves couldnt be verified scientifically until the discovery of alpha brainwaves by the Austrian psychiatrist Hans Berger. This ultimately paved the way for recording brainwaves and allowed scientists to watch brainwave rates, in real time, as subjects were being stimulated in some form. Later, in the mid-1930s, scientists began to observe that the brains electrical rhythms tend to assume the rhythm of a stimulus. For example, one can stimulate a subject with a blinking light at the 10 Hz and over time that subjects brainwaves will entrain to match the lights 10 blinks per second. It was this discovery that led to the beginning acceptance of brainwave entrainment as a scientifically viable process. The effect of audio stimuli on the brain gained notice in 1959 when one Dr. Chatria observed an identical EEG response to clicks at a frequency of 15 per second. It can be said that almost any rhythmic or frequency based stimuli can be used to invoke the entrainment of brainwaves to some degree, be it sound, light, touch, or anything else the brain can perceive through its senses. The Brain Evolution System makes groundbreaking use of specialized audio technologies to accomplish brainwave entrainment which will be explained in the next section. THE BRAIN EVOLUTION SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY The Brain Evolution System is designed with several audio brainwave entrainment methods which have been combined to provide a highly effective entrainment experience. Each disc was developed under exacting specifications by applying the pioneering 3 Point Dynamic Entrainment . Audio Process. (3P D.E.A.P.)

3P D.E.A.P. consists of three brainwave entrainment techniques which are unified to deliver a wide spectrum of entrainment potential. This provides the brain with multiple entrainment stimuli to deliver maximum benefit for each listener. BINAURAL ENTRAINMENT For each segment of binaural entrainment, we send a separate audio signal to each speaker in your stereo headphones. These separate signals are called carrier tones. As an example: in one ear a carrier tone of 410 Hz, combined with a carrier tone of 400 Hz, equals a 10 Hz binaural tone. As your brain detects the 10 Hz binaural tone it will generate its own 10 Hz brainwave response to the binaural stimulus.

RHYTHMIC ENTRAINMENT The Brain Evolution System capitalizes on the benefits of binaural entrainment by using other entrainment stimuli to help the brain follow each discs entrainment path with more efficiency. The Brain Evolution Systems rhythmic entrainment method uses audio entrainment pulses that are applied as isochronic tones, as well as digitally processed effects. These effects, such as chorus, delay and pan, add additional entrainment layers that work directly in tandem with the binaural processes. TEMPORAL ENTRAINMENT As the name suggests, this entrainment method relates to the distinction of timing. In order to increase the effectiveness of the first two entrainment methods, we use the brains distinction of time and speed to direct it towards the varying entrainment rates that ebb and flow throughout each disc. The Temporal Entrainment method is also applied to shift the rhythms of the body (such as breathing and heart rates) to speed up or slow down in unison with each levels entrainment stimuli.

Minor Tier (Dotted Line) Entrainment events and frequencies in this tier are mixed to compliment those in the all other tiers. The end result is a subtle yet powerful mix of dynamic brainwave entrainment paths that swell and subside gently to stimulate brainwave patterns across an epic symphony of entrainment mediums. LEVEL I - TRANSCENDENCE Level I plays an important role in preparing the listener for the dynamic entrainment arrangements that are featured throughout each disc. Compared to the rest of the series, the entrainment frequencies in Level I are the easiest for the brain to entrain to - allowing your brain to acclimate to the system before being introduced to the higher levels. The general focus of Level I is to introduce you to your primary meditative ability, that is: the ability to slow down rhythms of the body, the ability to release thoughts from distraction and to simply relax. These primary meditative skills are important abilities to acquire as the

and heart rates) to speed up or slow down in unison with each levels entrainment stimuli. -- Additional information about the Brain Evolution System can be found online at www.brainev.com EXPLANATION OF LEVELS AND THE PRIMARY ENTRAINMENT MAP BrainEv is a six level, six month, progressive system that is designed to be listened to in a specific order. Each level has been engineered using a very specific plan called an entrainment map. Entrainment mapping is a graphical approach, which BrainEv developers used to define exactly how the brainwave entrainment program will be laid out. This approach to brainwave entrainment is another method that sets the Brain Evolution System in a category all of its own. Every sound event in the program is bound by the exacting foundations of its entrainment map to the millisecond. Each horizontal line in the map above represents one of three entrainment tiers which define the emphasis of a particular entrainment stimulus at any point in the series. These tiers of emphasis are: Prime, Major and Minor. Prime Tier (Solid Line) This designates the prime entrainment frequencies that stand at the forefront of the audio. These layers are strengthened with additional entrainment techniques that supplement the effects of this tier. Major Tier (Dashed Line) Entrainment events and frequencies in this tier are mixed to compliment those in the Prime tier. Additional audio layers are applied at frequencies that compliment the mean entrainment rates between Prime and Major tiers.

they help you get the most out of each session while improving every facet of your life that requires patience and focus. Veterans of meditation will find value in this disk as it allows a quick and easy descent into theta brainwave states, along with a sampling of delta frequencies. LEVEL II - LUCID ECHOES Levels I & II work together to refine your ability to meditate and limit how mental and emotional distractions affect the clarity of your thinking. Disc Two's role in the Brain Evolution is to build on the meditative foundation instilled by Level I by taking the entrainment deeper into theta levels; however, there are elements in the soundscape that present slightly more distraction than the previous level. These effects are applied to present the dichotomy of choice between allowing calm to exist in the mind rather than agitation. LEVEL III - INFINITY Disc Three's role in the Brain Evolution is to prepare you for the more dynamic and complex entrainment structures of the remaining three discs. Level III continues the systems descent towards deeper entrainment rates, while challenging the brain to operate at multiple (and potentially conflicting) frequencies without loosing focus or calm. Level III will begin with an entrainment path that ramps up to a beta plateau while layers of alpha, theta and delta stimuli operate beneath.This arrangement is engineered to challenge the brain/mind to maintain a deep, focused calm even when faster entrainment stimuli are present.

LEVEL IV: CRYSTAL RAIN

This is the first disc which presents a high degree of non-linear entrainment, while emphasizing entrainment paths that are distributed in a balanced form. As you can see on the map, Level IVs Prime Tier provides the deepest, most relaxing entrainment rate in the series thus far. In this disc the Major Tier is organized around a central entrainment rate which serves as the gateway between the alert brain and deeper inward awareness. LEVEL V: NEPTUNE'S CAVE Of the entire series, this disc provides the deepest descent into extremely low brainwave rates within the delta range. Prime and Major Tiers are applied to maintain a degree of quiet wakefulness to bridge the gap between conscious and subconscious modes. Portions of the entrainment stimuli are geared towards facilitating the release of brain chemicals that promote feelings of well being, while stimulating the bodys rejuvenation processes and immunity.* LEVEL VI: FUSION This disc concludes the six month journey by integrating the sounds and entrainment functions of the five previous levels. Youll notice that Level VIs Prime, Major and Minor Tiers all center around the gateway entrainment frequency found in Level IV. This is designed to move the brain, in undulating sweeps, from attentive focus to the deep, undistracted awareness that leads to creativity and the minds more intuitive power. After you complete this six month journey, revisit each disc (from level I VI) over a period of six days (or more). Use this time to re-evaluate how your brain and mind respond to each disc and then feel free to use each disc, as you see fit, from then on.

* PRECAUTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS

Those with an epileptic predisposition may be adversely affected when using brainwave entrainment technology. However rare, there is a risk of seizure associated with individuals who are predisposed to epileptic fits. Consult your doctor directly if you have any questions or concerns regarding audience brainwave entrainment technology, and its effect on epilepsy. Under no circumstances should you drive a car or operate dangerous machinery while listening to the Brain Evolution System. This technology can produce very hyper-relaxed states that may endanger you in situations that require your direct attention. It is not uncommon for repressed emotions or memories to surface as you acquaint yourself with the cause and effects of your brain/ mind system. These upwellings are a healthy part of processing and improving how and why we function in some of the ways we do. This emotional processing can lead towards vast improvements in personal development. In highly sensitive situations, it's advisable to seek professional assistance from an appropriate practitioner if you have difficulty processing particular emotions on your own.
