NeoRhythm Neurostimulation Headband User Guide

NeoRhythm Neurostimulation Headband

In Quick Start, each program contains two frequencies running at two different intensities. The durations are pre-set and so are the intensities and coil positioning. In Advanced Mode, you can choose a single frequency, with customized intensity, duration, and coil positioning. Below is a guide or our general recommendations for each program or frequency, but please note that your individual experience may vary and you can extend or shorten the duration or frequency of the sessions to fit your needs. NeoRhythm devices are advised to be used daily and consistently for optimum results. Each influenced area is marked by a blue dot, which represents a general area where to place your NeoRhythm device.

PREDEFINED PROGRAMS

SLEEP

Improve Sleep
The Improve Sleep program can be used before sleep to de-stress and unwind, or overnight to maintain sleep.

• Duration: 20 minutes – 8 hours
• When to use: 30 min / 60 min 1-4 times a day
• Avoid: In the morning
• Frequencies:
  • Dominant (2.5 mT) 4 Hz (Theta)
  • Accompanying (0.25 mT) 2.67 Hz (Delta)
• Influenced areas:

Theta brainwaves occur during light sleep and the REM stage associated with dreaming. Delta brainwaves are slow brainwaves produced in deep, dreamless sleep. The brain synchronizes with these frequencies, which creates an optimal environment for the body to enter a night of deep, regenerative sleep.

• EXTRA TIP: Deep Meditation uses Theta waves and can be a great addition to the Improve Sleep session for a calmer night.
• DON’T: Enjoying an Improve Sleep session and following immediately with an Energy and Vitality or Enhance Mental Capacity session could diminish the effect of the sessions. We recommend at least 30 min – 1hr breaks in between sessions.

Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming occurs during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. During a lucid dream, the dreamer may gain some amount of control over the dream characters, narrative, or environment. You can actually train your mind to notice your own consciousness as well, designing a way to regain or maintain consciousness as you enter REM sleep.

• Duration: 30 – 60 minutes
• When to use: After waking up, during an afternoon nap
• Avoid: Before bed
• Frequencies:
  • Dominant (0.5 mT) 40.5 Hz (Gamma)
  • Accompanying (0.5 mT) 0.5 Hz (Delta)
• Influenced areas:

FOCUS

Enhance Mental Capacity
Our highly focused consciousness is dominated by the Gamma brainwaves – the maximum alertness frequency band. When Gamma brainwaves are present, we actively look for solutions with uncompromised focus.

• Duration: 30 – 60 minutes, 1-4x a day
• When to use: Morning, Afternoon, During working hours
• Avoid: Before bed, Right after waking up (wait 30 minutes)
• Frequencies:

• Influenced areas:

DON’T: Gamma brainwaves are characteristic of a highly alert, focused state. Enjoying an Enhance Mental Capacity session before bed might affect how you sleep.

RELAXATION

Deep Relaxation
The Deep Relaxation program induces a predominance of alpha brain waves. Your brain synchronizes with these frequencies, creating optimal conditions for relaxation, which will in turn allow you to de-stress, feel calm, and reach a state of emotional, physical, and mental well-being.

• Duration: 30 – 60 minutes, 1-2x a day
• When to use: During the day, In the evening, Before bed

• Influenced areas:

DON’T: Deep Relaxation 1-2 hrs before bed followed with an Improve Sleep 8 hours while sleeping can help you get a good night of restorative sleep.

PHYSICAL RELIEF

Pain Control
NeoRhythm’s multi-coil design allows for 360-degree targeted electromagnetic (PEMF) stimulation of any part of the body and provides support such as energizing, vitalizing, enhancement of mental capacity, focus, and meditation. As a consequence of this support, pain relief may follow.
