05 Gamma Sessions

Gamma waves are associated with higher brain functions like cognition and memory. Gamma waves can also promote higher states of awareness and increased brain function during meditation. Benefits of proper gamma frequencies may include improved cognition, problem-solving, information processing and memory. Gamma entrainment may increase attention span, awareness, mindfulness, promote proper brain function and mind immunity. Some research shows it may help with mood. Those with memory related issues and illnesses may find gamma sessions helpful.

Some research shows YOU CAN overdo Gamma entrainment. So limit yourself to 3 sessions per week at first until you know its effects. Gamma entrainment may be very energizing, so it shouldn’t be done at night

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.

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 Memory Boost (Cognition)

May help with: cognition, mood

This session targets the gamma range around 40hz. Scientific research from MIT and other academic institutions have shown that targeting this range from 40hz – 42hz may help with cognitive decline. This session may give users a cognitive boost. The effect is based on sensory deprivation where we allow the mind to clear itself, like creating a blank canvas for our mind to draw upon. Do not use close to bedtime, and limit the use to 2-3 times week until you are familiar with its effects.

#02 Gamma 40hz Focus & Memory *

May help with: cognition, mood

This session targets the gamma range at 40hz. Many studies show the benefits of 40hz entrainment for memory related issues and focus. Gamma brainwaves are known to connect and process information throughout the mind, but may be diminished in some cognitive disorders.

#03 Uplifting (focus, cognition) *

May help with: Mood, cognitive increase of nonverbal tasks, memory

An uplifting beta/gamma session that may increase focus and sharpen cognition, or get you energized before going to work or the gym. It may increase faster brainwave activity and inhibit excessive slow wave activity. It starts with blue light which may produce serotonin to improve mood. This session can be very energizing, so it is recommended that you use it early in the day as to not affect sleep patterns. It may also be used before studying or taking tests to sharpen focus. It may boost cognition. Although effective with eyes closed glasses, eyes open with immersion glasses may suppresses slower brainwave patterns.

#04 Gamma Get Up And Go (Alterness)

May help with: cognition, cognitive increase of nonverbal tasks, mood

This session alternates 20hz Beta and 40hz gamma, which may help memory and cognition. Many studies show the benefits of 40hz entrainment for help with memory related issues and focus. Research shows benefits for age related cognition issues using 40hz entrainment. This is a pick-me-up session. Uses high energy classical music. Also can be used to energize.

YOU CAN overdo Gamma entrainment. So limit yourself to 3 sessions per week at first until you know its effects. Gamma can be very energizing, so it shouldn’t be done at night.

#05 Base Gamma 34 - 38hz (Cognition) *

May help with: cognition, cognitive increase of nonverbal tasks, mood

Research has shown that entraining lower gamma frequencies with red
or white lights may benefit cortical stimulation and cognitive
impairment. Here we focus on the 34 – 38hz range, with white and red light. Any glasses can be used. You will hear the tones oscillating at a much higher speed with gamma.

#06 Gamma with 12.5% for Harmonics*

May help with: cognition, cognitive increase of nonverbal tasks, mood

Above 45hz, gamma entrainment has been known loses its benefit. To offset this, we use a 12.5% duty cycle to create harmonics with alternate eye flashing, which may simulate frequencies above 45hz. Benefits may include focus, attention and cognition. Any glasses can be used. Do not use before bed.

#07 Gamma with 25% for Harmonics*

May help with: cognition, cognitive increase of nonverbal tasks, mood

A stronger version of #06 above, the duty cycle is doubled to increase the harmonics. This simulates higher frequencies. Benefits may include focus, attention and cognition. Any glasses can be used. Do not use before bed.

YOU CAN overdo Gamma entrainment. So limit yourself to 3 sessions per week at first until you know its effects. Gamma can be very energizing, so it shouldn’t be done at night.

#08 Gamma with Alternate Eye Flashing*

May help with: cognition, cognitive increase of nonverbal tasks, mood

This variation on #05 Base Gamma has no duty cycle, but uses alternate eye flashing instead to create harmonics. Every person is different, so these 3 variations (#06 – #08) are here so you can find the right one for your needs.
