Can MindMachines cause seizures?
Me and my Procyon MindMachine - no seizures, just good vibrations ;-)
Can they?
Technically: Yes. In a similiar way that playing computer games does, because flickering light impulses are involved (the audio does NOT cause any problems).
That’s why there are all those warnings and disclaimers in the manuals. Do not put your cat into the microwave oven to dry it, it may be harmed… *lol*
Lets get this straight: there are exactly TWO scenarios where the use of a MindMachine or light goggle could cause something like a seizure.
- Someone uses the machine against better knowledge for many hours, combining different sessions, thus stressing his brain and making himself prone to weird effects from the flashing light impulses. You drink too much booze, you get a hangover. Same thing.
- Someone has a serious medical condition. But even many epileptics are known to use MindMachines without any problems at all, and for some regular brainwave entrainment has bettered their condition. However: if you do know that you have a certain problem, you will be cautious, right?
Otherwise I have NEVER heard of anyone experiencing serious side effects from the use of mind machines, unless you want to call spontaneous napping a seizure… ;-)
Sometimes a mild headache after the first few sessions, if you are totally unused to brainwave entrainment. Kind of a “training effect”. But that’s it, and even that is rare.
So – if you think about trying a mind machine: go ahead!
It does no harm, can help you to deal with a lot of problems, enhance your life, your intellect and help you on your path of personal development. Or just help you to relax and fall asleep faster.
No need to worry, just use some common sense.
