Computerized EEG Analysis of Subjects Undergoing
Synchro-Energization for Relaxation

Computerized EEG signals were used to evaluate the effects of
"Synchro-Energizer" stimulation. Synchro-Energizer (S-E) devices
are the newest craze in stress reduction.
The S-E device includes dark goggles with tiny lights inside,
earphones and a control module that varies the light and sound
sequence. S-E salons are springing up around metropolitan areas and
are enjoying a lot of media attention.
Power Spectra were obtained for the standard frequency bands (delta,
theta, alpha and beta); activity in microvolts for each band was
measured before, during and after a twenty minute session on the S-E
device.
Although the S-E device is ALLEGED to induce a mental relaxation
response, we found no statistical evidence supporting existence of
LASTING relaxation-type changes, i.e. NO INCREASE in alpha or theta
range activity, in the EEG of thirty young, healthy volunteers
thirty minutes POST S-E use.
