04 SMR Sensorimotor Sessions

SMR stands for Sensorimotor Rhythm, and is found in between the relaxed (Alpha) and awake (Beta) states. Boosting SMR activity in the Sensory Motor Cortex may improve nighttime patterns and provide better resistance to stress. Entraining this area may both calm a busy mind and enhance concentration, which is good for those with attention issues. For severe nighttime issues, use well before bed. Around sunset is recommended. SMR has a balancing effect, so it can be used after other sessions that target deep theta or gamma. For best results, we recommend
you do at least 3 sessions per week for 3- 4 weeks. Some people with excessive alpha should limit SMR training.

An * next to the session name indicates that light colors or strobing effects can be changed. Press the bottom of the wheel once a session starts. Do NOT use blue or green lights before bed, it can disrupt melatonin production.

The Nexus unit sessions are designed to help guide the mind into desired frequencies, which may improve mental states while using it. No long term or permanent benefits have been researched or implied. If you experience any discomfort while running a session, we recommend you discontinue use and consult your doctor.

#01 SMR For Better Health

May help with: Balance, better nighttime patterns and resistance to stress, relaxed focus, attention issues

SMR stands for Sensorimotor Rhythm, and is found in between your relaxed (Alpha) and awake (Beta) states. This session targets the whole range of SMR (12 – 15 hz). This may help those who have trouble getting to bed. We recommend you use at least 2 hours before bed in the early evening just at sunset. It has a balancing effect, so it can be used as a grounding session after deep theta or gamma sessions. For general health and well being, we recommend you do at least 3 sessions per week for 3- 4 weeks.

#02 Random SMR (mood booster)

May help with: memory, focus, mood, attention

SMR stands for Sensorimotor Rhythm, and is found in between your relaxed (Alpha) and awake (Beta) states. This session randomizes frequencies between 12 – 15 hz. Specially composed music is modulated and moved around in 3D space. Use during the day or up until sunset. It has a balancing effect, so it can be used as a grounding session after deep theta or gamma sessions.

#03 Focus Loop (alertness, energy) *

May help with: Cognition, focus, attention, nighttime patterns

SMR stands for Sensorimotor Rhythm, and is found in between your relaxed (Alpha) and awake (Beta) states. This is a short SMR session set at 14.1 hertz, a Schuman Resonance harmonic. Modulated music, isochronic tones and Shepherd’s tones are used, which may help the mind stay alert and energized. A Shepherd’s tone is an audio barber pole illusion that portrays the effect of an always rising pitch frequency. Do not loop.

#04 Motor on Up (Attention, focus)

May help with: Cognition, focus, nighttime patterns

SMR stands for Sensorimotor Rhythm, and is found in between your relaxed (Alpha) and awake (Beta) states. This session may help those with focus, learning and attention issues. This session steps each frequency from 11 Hz to 18 Hz in two minute increments, which may produce more optimal Beta frequencies. Light flickers, modulated music, and 3D sound and semi-sine waveforms are used.

#05 Motor on Down (Attention, focus)

May help with: Relaxation, calming, focus, nightime patterns

SMR stands for Sensorimotor Rhythm, and is found in between your relaxed (Alpha) and awake (Beta) states. This may help with focus, learning and attention. This session tries to decrease brainwaves from 18 Hz Beta down to 10 Hz to produce more optimal Alpha frequencies. Light flickers, modulated music, and 3D sound and semi-sine waveforms are used.

#06 15Hz Cortical Stim (focus, cognition)

May help with Relaxation, calming, focus, nightime patterns

SMR stands for Sensorimotor Rhythm, and is found in between your relaxed (Alpha) and awake (Beta) states. A study on binaural beats and visual spatial working memory found that listening to 15Hz binaural beats during a visuospatial working memory task not only increased the response accuracy, but also modified the strengths of the cortical networks during the task. This session uses Green light, which is thought to increase SMR.

#07 Ramp Me Up (Concentration)

May help with: Concentration, focus, nighttime patterns

SMR stands for Sensorimotor Rhythm, and is found in between your relaxed (Alpha) and awake (Beta) states. This session uses the full range of SMR, ramping up from 12 Hz to 15 Hz. This may be beneficial for those needing to transition up from relaxed Alpha states into higher Beta states. Green light flickers, 3D modulated music, and isochronic tones are incorporated.

#08 Ramp Me Down (Calming the mind)

May help with: Concentration, focus, nighttime patterns

SMR stands for Sensorimotor Rhythm, and is found in between your relaxed (Alpha) and awake (Beta) states. This session uses the full range of SMR, ramping down from 15 Hz to 12 Hz. This may be beneficial for those needing to transition down from higher Beta states into more relaxed Alpha states.

#09 Upper SMR Train (Focus, concentration)

May help with: Concentration, focus, nighttime patterns

SMR stands for Sensorimotor Rhythm, and is found in between your relaxed (Alpha) and awake (Beta) states. This session pushes the upper boundaries of SMR and into the low Beta range, from 14 – 16 Hz. It is believed that optimal Beta lies in the 15 – 18 Hz range, where most people function their best while doing tasks.
