About Our Mind Technology

What Dr Vyas Says:
Why I Did Ph.D. on Mind Machine and
What Are the Results

Dr. Rudresh Vyas, Ph.D.

As a student of Psychology, I had a desire to study effects of Yoga & Meditation on the behaviour.

Meanwhile, my friend who later became my Ph. D. guide, Dr. S. J. Patel's mother suffering from breast cancer. With a purpose to reduce her physical and mental suffering, she was using Mind Machine, which proved to be very much helpful.

Dr. Patel's father who was Reader in the Department of Psychology, S. P. University, suggested to me to do Ph.D. on the Mind Machine to find out if it really offers benefit.

Around the world, Mind Machine's usefulness in the problems like Sleeplessness, Physical pain, Migraine, etc. is proved by many studies.

In India, practical research studies conducted are not many, specifically in the field of Psychology.

So, I felt that I should carry out "Multidisciplinary" study to find out usefulness of Mind Machine in Education, Meditation, and Learning.

The title of my Ph. D. thesis was "The effects of electro magnetic waves and rhythmic sound on learning behaviour".

I conducted comprehensive research using Mind Machine and covering subjects like Neurology, Brain Chemistry, Physiology, and Psychology.

Students were divided into two groups, Control and Experiment group. Experiment group was offered 60 sessions of Mind Machine.

My conclusions from my Ph. D. research are:

1. There was significant improvement in the result of First Year and Second Year. For control group result improved from average 50% to 53% and for experiment group from 50 % to 56% of Second Year.

2. For experiment group, improvement was noticed between First Year (without sessions) and Second Year (with session) result.

3. Positive effect was found of the Electromagnetic waves and rhythmic sound.

4. We can conclude that Brain performance can be improved by giving external stimulus.

5. Mind Machine is useful for the improvement in the academic performance.

6. Better result can be achieved if suggestions and relaxation is combined with the sessions of Mind Machine.

7. Students having poor academic result because of low self image can improve their self image with specific electromagnetic waves and rhythmic sound.

For my research, I was awarded Ph. D. in 2005 from Sardar Patel University, V.V. Nagar, Anand.

Mind Machine Research including Recommendation Letter from Dept of Psychology of MLS University

What is a mind machine? A mind machine can be defined as an equipment that empowers you to change your brain waves for the desired alpha, theta, etc. states for the desired benefits/learning/goals.

What research is the mind machine based on? How does it work? These are questions that most people ask when something new is presented that is different from what they have seen or heard about. Even though these mind machine inventions are new, but the fundamental that these mind machines are based on, are not new. Like many inventions, these mind machines were developed by experimenting, discovering and utilizing the very best of many different mind technologies. 

We developed India's first mind machine in 1993, and since then, we have learned a lot more and gained enormous experience in the use of mind machines and Dr Anil Bapna's Mind Power Music, for relaxation and learning, and now finally so many years after the first mind machine, the Super IQ7 is ready.

Why did it take so many years? Because it required various scientific breakthroughs in mind technologies that took us years of research, and no doubt, my 3-year stay in USA between 2000 and 2003 as a founding member of a software company in California also helped. The new mind machine is far more powerful/useful in various ways than the original 1993 mind machine.

The new mind machine is so powerful, you "feel the results" within 15 Minutes of use. One program is of 7 minutes only and it gives result in as little as 3 minutes. 

And equally important, we have been able to reduce prices to about one third of what it would cost in 1993.

Please realize that the mind machine incorporates my lifetime of keen interest and deep learning in mind power, neuro-linguistic programming, beliefs and secrets of success. In USA, I attended one seminar by Richard Bandler, the genius who developed NLP, and another by Anthony Robbins in 1990, and I had already been learning success secrets long before that.

Let me briefly explain the advanced mind technologies used in the mind machine.

First, What are Brain Waves

You'll read that mind machine changes brain waves, so let me first explain what are brain waves.

When you drop a small stone in water, you see waves. Similarly our heart and our brain have wave patterns. The wave pattern of the heart is measured by ECG (electrocardiograph). The brain waves are measured by EEG (electroencephalograph).

Using the brain wave studies, scientists have discovered that our brain waves are of four types.

The brain waves also have peaks that are similar to the peaks we see in water waves. The number of times the peak appears in one second is called "cycles per second". For example, the electricity in India is of 50 cycles per second.

Beta (13 to 25 cycles per second)

This brain wave indicates that your conscious mind is in control. It indicates a mental state of logical thought, analysis, and action. You are alert and awake talking, speaking, doing, solving problems, etc.

Alpha (8 to 12 cycles per second)

This brain wave indicates relaxation and meditation. It is a state of relaxed alertness good for inspiration, learning facts fast.

Theta (4 to 8 cycles per second)

Deep meditation. This is associated with life-like imagination. This is best for suggestibility and inspiration. This brain wave is dominant in children of age 2 to 5.

Delta (0.5 to 4 cycles per second)

Deep dreamless sleep. Deep relaxation, healing

7 Mind Technologies Behind the Power of Mind Machine

Here is brief overview of the mind technologies used in the mind machines.

The simple truth is that there is no other comparable mind machine system in the whole world because it is radically different and enormously powerful.

Mind Technology #1.
Subliminal Messages

It means that there are messages which are hidden from your conscious mind, which cannot be heard, it does not interfere with these messages. But, your sub-conscious mind can hear these messages and accept them for the desired changes.

Recently I conducted a workshop for experts and owners of colleges at the Hotel Hyatt Regency in Mumbai, where the fee to attend was Rs 19,000 per person to hear me for 2 days, and one of the participants was Prof Ashok Davda of Thane. Initially, Prof Davda, like many others who first hear of subliminal messages, was skeptical of our Mind Power Music technology and did not believe that such a thing could work. But being a professional hypnotist, he decided to check us out.

He simply ordered some of our Dr Anil Bapna's Mind Power Music [programs], and then what he did is really creative and remarkable. He hypnotized one of his students and played our program.

In the program, what we all hear is sounds of birds, sounds of water/river and very relaxing special music, but no words. But what Prof Davda did was to ask his hypnotized student, "What words do you hear?" And to Prof Davda's utter amazement, the student heard positive empowering messages and spoke out what he heard.

Being scientific by nature, what Prof Davda did next is also surprising. He noted down the words (messages) heard by the hypnotized student, and then traveled to Udaipur from Thane. And then he asked us, "What are the exact messages on this program?" We showed him the list messages. And to Prof Davda's total surprise, our list of messages matched with the student's list. And, that is how Prof Davda became our great friend.

Mind Technology #2.
Dual Auto Peripheral Suggestions (DAPS ^TM)

Let me now tell you about another technology called DAPS^TM (Dual Auto Peripheral Suggestions). It uses two separate stories, one for each ear. Here is how the great writer Michael Hutchison in his now classic book "Megabrain" wrote about using two stories method. (By the way, I met Michael in California in 1991 and purchased my first mind machine from him for US $329.)

"I first heard it in a float tank, where, having donned stereo headphones, I heard calm voices against a background of stately, soaring synthesizer music, gently guiding me into a deeply relaxed state. Then the soundtrack divided and I heard a separate voice in each ear, each voice narrating a completely different fairy-tale--charming stories of wizards, magic cities, intergalactic zoos, and mystic shoemakers. "This simultaneous input overloads the conscious mind," says Glauberman, "because there is simply too much information to process consciously." Unable to focus on either story, I found, your conscious mind tends to let go or turn off. When the half-hour session was over I seemed to awaken (though I knew I hadn't been asleep), feeling like I had had a delightful experience, though I couldn't quite remember just what the experience had been."

You hear a different story in each ear in my voice that makes artful use of language, neuro linguistic programming, Ericksonian techniques to immediately produce measurable relaxation in you while building positive, powerful, empowering beliefs that produce dramatic breakthrough results for you. I load the tales with variety of powerful suggestions that are best for students, in such artful way that the suggestions remain in indirect terms and seemingly are simply part of the story, so they go unnoticed. And, because the conscious mind can at best focus on one story at a time, it usually gives up and stops paying conscious attention, and as a result, most of the stories and the empowering messages hidden within them bypass the conscious mind completely, entering the unconscious mind. This is the most powerful method of belief change because it really works and it is effortless on the part of the listener.

The real test of a DAPS program is not listening to analyze it, but to close your eyes, sit comfortably or lie down, and listen to it and feel the results for yourself: Does it make you more relaxed than you have ever been in your life before? Does it make you feel like you feel just before you fall asleep? Does it make you feel relaxed? When I ask users these questions, just after they use the mind machine for the first time, they say, "Yes". 

Mind Technology #3.
Brainwave Entrainment and
Brainwave Sync Tonal Matrix ^TM

Before I give you scientific explanation, first let me show you what Osho, one of the greatest gurus ever, said about "mind technology" in the book Meditation: The First and Last Freedom:

"... these high-tech mechanisms can be of tremendous use in the right hands. They can help create the kinds of waves in your mind so that you start feeling relaxed, as if half asleep ... thoughts are disappearing and a moment comes that everything becomes silent in you. That is the moment when the waves are those of deep sleep. You will not be aware of this deep sleep, but after 10 minutes, when you are unplugged from the machine, you will see the effects: you are calm, quiet, peaceful, no worry, no tension; life seems to be more playful and joyous. One feels as if one has had an inner bath. Your whole being is calm and cool.
With machines, things are very certain, because they don't depend on any doing of yours.
... but these machines can certainly create within 10 minutes a possibility that you may not be able to create in years of effort."

 What is brainwave? When you drop a small stone in water, you see waves. Similarly, the brain has waves that are measured as frequency in cycles per second and recorded by EEG.

If you play sound of 500 Hz in one ear and 510 Hz in the other ear, your brain "hears" the sound of frequency that is the difference of the two frequencies, i.e., 510-500 = 10 Hz. This sound is called binaural beat and it does not actually exist in the environment around us, but it is only in the mind. Students who study Physics know it is similar to "resonance".

When this happens, researchers are able to measure increased levels of bilateral synchronized brain wave activity at the frequency of the binaural beat.

A scientist in USA named Robert Monroe found in 1960's that part of the brain, called the olivary nucleus, begins to resonate with the binaural beat. This phenomena is called brainwave entrainment. The olivary nucleus sends signals upward into the cerebral cortex that mix with the existing brain wave patterns to produce noticeable changes. Monroe finally found that with certain frequencies, he could produce a unique and coherent brain state called hemispheric synchronization. 

These binaural beats are used to help/teach people to achieve alpha or theta states of calm attention in which it is easier to learn, meditate or relax.

Brainwave Sync Tonal Matrix, the mind technology developed by us and used in our mind machine, uses binaural beats technology, but it is far more complex and advanced than just using 500Hz and 510 Hz for the two ears. It is based on years of experiment, research and development to discover what combinations work best for focus/ concentration, for memory/learning, for relaxation, etc.

 We have used all four types of brainwaves Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Delta in the best possible way for use during learning, before learning, after learning or to awake and energize.

Mind Technology #4.
"Accelerated Learning" is Whole Brain Learning/Memory

There's a world-wide explosion of advanced techniques for accelerated learning, supercharged remembering, and peak mental performance. The publication of the book Superlearning by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder made superlearning or accelerated learning techniques popular. These help you use your whole brain (both left brain and right brain) for learning and memory.

The Vocab-Builder Mind Machine (CAT, GMAT, GRE, etc.) uses advanced accelerated learning techniques along with other mind technologies to enable users to effortlessly memorize words 3 to 7 times faster.

I was member of the SALT (Society of Accelerated Learning and Teaching, USA) that is working hard to bring the benefits of accelerated learning to schools in USA. Many programs for schools have been supported by the American federal or state governments. (It is really unfortunate that in India, NCERT, good private schools and other important institutions are not open-minded enough to bring these revolutionary discoveries from around the world to our schools. My hope is that the situation will change in the next 10 years as India gets richer and parents start learning about these advances and start demanding from good private schools)

For example, the Washington State Department of Health and Social Services reported that by using Superlearning techniques, Indochinese refugees learned English five times faster. At Iowa State University students learned Spanish seven times faster. And from Australia's Woden TAFE College, John Wade revealed, "I have used the Superlearning technology with adult migrants learning English. The results from controlled experiment ... show that long term memory retention increased sixfold."

Mind Technology #5.
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Neuro Linguistic Programming uses languages in specific ways to make desired changes in the mind. The program to "Enter the Learning State" uses many techniques from NLP and are so powerful that in just 15 minutes you can FEEL the effects on your body/mind. The effects are very difficult for me to explain fully to you but very easy to feel and experience for yourself. I would like to give an analogy: it is like trying to explain what light is to a blind person; it would be impossible to explain the colourful world in words to someone who has never seen "light", but as soon as a medical discovery can cure the person's eye and bring vision, the person can immediately see the beautiful world in all vibrant colours.

Mind Technology #6.
Ganzfeld

If what we hear and see are uniform, non-changing and constant, after a little time, the mind realizes that these signals are constant and offer no danger or other valuable information, and the mind stops paying attention to them, leading to mind becoming free to take the attention inwards, and this results in deep relaxation. Some of the programs make use of the Ganzfeld phenomenon.

Mind Technology #7.
Energizing Sound Patterns ^TM

Dr Tomatis, a French ENT surgeon discovered that certain high frequency sounds have greatly beneficial effects, which the writer Patricia Joudry describes as below: "a listening technique using high frequency music for beneficially recharging the cortex of the brain. The effect upon the person is one of vitalizing, harmonizing and healing in almost every area of being".

Letter from Bhagwan Sri Sri Sri Devang ji

“Complete Letter from 
Bhagwan Sri Sri Sri Devang ji”
(Dr Devang H Dattani, PhD)

This Letter is About His Research and 
Experience with Our Mind Machine

Bhagwan Raj,

I have always been fascinated by brain, nervous system and consciousness; so much so that at the age of 15 I was studying Artificial intelligence. The order of various mind-machines and mind-[programs] 15-17 years ago was part of that interest. Obviously I didn’t take them too seriously. Having known and learnt hypnotism, it was just a small tool that could give suggestions without professional hypnotist. However I kept on ordering the things at regular time-intervals whenever I felt there was a good upgrade.

My first encounter with mind-machine was not quite satisfactory. Except for the Go to Sleep program nothing seemed to be working or working spectacularly as were the claims. I tried it in various ways. The most boring program seemed to me was DREAMS without SLEEP. The people on whom I tried it felt the same except for the Go to SLEEP Program.

It was sparingly used just for the sake of fun or amusement. It never was a serious tool for me until a series of events lead to conclusion otherwise. It so happened that I had a cat at home, not exactly pet, as he was free to go, disappear for few days and reappear again at anytime he wished to. The cat was fond of sitting in my lap whenever I was in and sitting. It didn’t matter what I was doing, eating, reading, writing or sleeping. He would just jump on my lap. If I am standing he would wait in a corner for me to sit. If I stand up after sitting it would just try to hang on to me by trying to get a grip on me as if I was a wall. Well for that matter animals, known or unknowns, have that fascination of me even now. 

It was not exactly comfortable all the times. Hence just to discourage the cat as soon as he was in lap I would put the MIND machine glasses headphones and switch the same on just to terrify him. It worked initially but once the cat got used to it, he would try to get off the glasses and headphones, ultimately knowing I am putting it on him again and again he stopped bothering.  

That was the time I said let me bore this cat out of its bones. I started putting DREAMS without sleep, started increasing the volume to full. But it was not of much avail; probably my lap was more satisfying than the boredom of mind-machine. One fine day while I was reading I saw the jerks cat was getting… jerks that were characteristics of his dream state … the jerks he used to get more in dreams in his mating season. You see I have been probably born as a scientist, a keen observer, and an experimental, creative and innovative guy with versatile interests, hobbies and tastes. I had even identified 19 different voices that the cat used to make for conveying different things. So, it stuck me by way of intuition; that it is the dream state that the cat is going into.  

That was the time I put the cat under observation. I connected him to EEG that I had done many a times. And yes! Bingo! 70% of the time I was putting the dreams without sleep program he is going to a dream like state. I called it dream like because it was not exactly dream state, there was a little prominent conscious brain activity pattern which made me think that cat was probably aware of the dream rather than being unconscious of it producing exactly dream state. Probably it was LUCID dream. 

Next I tried GO TO SLEEP. Obviously as I had expected it worked with flying colors producing the Deep states as I could see in EEG of the little cat.  

At this point of time, it occurred to me that if DREAMS without SLEEP can work on cat why not on humans? After all it is designed for human brain! It occurred to me that the probably the cats senses are more sensitive than us hence what we need to do is to increase the intensity of MIND MACHINE. 

At this point of time I discarded the walkman I used to use in conjunction with MIND MACHINE 777. I tried various combinations until I reached a powerful DECK and MIND machine 777. I kept the eye glasses at full intensity. And bingo! Yes I started getting effects of DREAMS without sleep too.

There was no doubt in it as I measured not only EEG but REM (Rapid eye movement). Then I started experiments of the same on many other people. I tried various combinations of the programs.  

Obviously people were uncomfortable initially with full or high light intensity but slowly they got used to it. Once that happened, it was a quite easy to induce the states at will. I also noticed that if you tell people in advance what the programs was there was a little resistance as a result of which it took 2-3 sittings to induce the state or the state first induced was difficult to induce again. I noted that if we don’t tell which states are to be induced the person got into the state very easily which meant that if you yourself are user and if you really want to induce a state mind-machine can help you in that. If you put resistance it was a bit difficult to do the same (not impossible).  

My various experiments lead me to many conclusions. The mind-machine was extremely efficient in inducing mental states which could be recorded or observed like lucid dreaming, meditation, sleep etc. I found that in Insomnia patients the GO TO SLEEP program worked like wonder. The wonderful thing about it was that brain was sleeping only for that time it needed which meant that if the person had ample sleep, the person would get bored or would wake up immediately after the Go to sleep or in the middle. While those who needed sleep would be sleeping for 15mintues to 1 hour even after the program was over. Snoring phenomena was almost observable in 90% cases; more than that the EEG showed prominent sleep patterns. Other machines connected gave the same indications. Go To sleep was also effective in some people suffering from head-aches. People felt at least lighter and relaxed. 

Now the various experiments continued with the measuring machines. I put up IMAGINATION programs and then DREAMS without sleep immediately afterwards. This combo worked like wonders in 70% of the cases, with 70% people reporting flight-fight or merry-go-round stomach cramp experience characteristics of Deep sleep. The increased REM (measured by electrodes and camera) closely resembling Dream-state was in concurrence with people reporting the experience.  Also some people felt sexually aroused or were remembering a long lost memory or love life characteristics of dream state and unconscious brain on loose.  

One more remarkable experiment / result worthy of mention was MEDITATION + GO TO SLEEP one after the other respectively. 90% of people who were experienced meditators or had been doing meditation for at least 1 year reported total awareness even though the body was in sleep. This state has not been unknown to me as I have been in meditation since childhood and since last 10 years totally aware SAMADHI, while others were surprised like they were saying I was hearing my snoring, my body was dead or I was out of body etc etc etc.  Obviously the state experienced by them is not exactly the same as highest SAMADHI or MEDITATION or what an experienced MEDITATOR gets as MEDITATION is non-doing and not awareness or concentration, awareness is just by-product hallucination which too drops at later stage. All experiences too drop as experiences – spiritual or sensual or materialistic - are sabotage of nature to enslave you. But it does give taste of what is in store.

The most remarkable thing that was noticed was that even with people who knew nothing of meditation with 3 attempts 65% people got into this AWARE state. The remarkable thing about this is that with MIND MACHINE we can greatly reduce the time periods required to induce actual states of brain through practice or giving the person a little idea of what is in store for him / her making him not give up or take it as pure fantasy or imagination as some invariably take due to their failure. The various measurements through various instruments including EEG too confirmed that the subjects were going through the said transformations / states. In short MIND MACHINE did act as CATALYST. Obviously it couldn’t match the state induced by a person through practice in intensity or depth but it did give idea.  

The statements of GITA can become reality for such people:

 Meaning:        

(01) When all sleep, the Sanyami wakes and when all are awake he / Muni sees sleep (in their awareness).

(02) For all creatures / livings what is night, in that night the Sanyami person who has attained godliness remains awake. And when all creatures are awake in mortal, momentarily pleasures, that who knows, knows it as Night.

However all the above experiments and results though indicative, are not enough to prove the effectiveness of mind-machine scientifically; which requires exact theory backed by real-time observable ubiquitous data and results. 

Hence we plan to carry out mind-machine tests with help of our contacts in USA for research which may help us in Artificial intelligence and consciousness states a little more. We have a few theories which can also be tested. For that actually we plan to get data visualization of real-time functional MRI of the subjects’ brains during their sessions with mind-machines. Right now the research will be unofficial. It is at planning stage as of now. What does the visualization of real-time functional MRI mean? 

It means that we can see in real time what parts of the brains are being affected or activated in real time.  

This can help us in establishing the effects of mind-machine in reality, in real-time scientifically and also study the exact effects, produced if any or not produced. It can clearly establish either the functionality or non-functionality of mind-machine! 

(A few samples of visualization of real-time functional MRI – the above samples are not of mind-machine)

Obviously it is not to say that the mind-machine that can induce GO TO SLEEP may also induce Memory and learning or such states. So although a mind-machine may not make you a genius but it may improve your brain activity or functioning. And in the matters of brain even a 1% increase can or may translate into quite big results. Who knows? That is why I describe mind-machine as tool. A tool is that which helps you do things which would have required hurricane efforts otherwise. Remember the mind-machine is not a MAGIC, it is just a tool, and you will get what you already have but are unable to know or use it!!! It is a catalyst. The catalyst expedites the things. You will be benefited. How much we have no idea or proof of it. Probably the more you use it the more you may benefit. Yet that is something that only you can discover for yourself.  

A small example the same could be my reading speed. I was born with quite a good speaking and reading speed. I was reading quite fast from my childhood. My first introduction to speed reading was through Bapna's mind-power study techniques which I had ordered just out of curiosity. I was introduced to a new world with infinite possibilities. I could double my speed. Slowly I developed my own techniques and mastery. Now I can safely say I am no more into speed reading but I am doing photo-reading, what that means is I measure the speed in pages per minutes or hour. It all started from that little thing. Now I finish everyday one book. It takes me half an hour to hour to finish a 400-500 pages book. Yet I do get the gist of everything that the book has to offer. BRAIN IS THE INSTRUMENT – which never dies with time – if you use it, it goes on being more and more capable of being used. This is a scientific fact which I have learned from neuroscience. I have been student of the ultimate mystery of the universe – the consciousness – and now there is no I left and hence consciousness too has been tackled off to beyond – blissful- reality! I wish you all the best in experimenting with one of the most intelligent powerful divine creating of this world determining your slavery of space-time that is brain and nervous system (the kundalani). May one day – through continual use of the brain - the truth dawn that, ‘you’, nervous system and brain is the hypnotic slavery which bounds, thereby paving way for the ULTIMATE BLISSFUL REALISTIC FREEDOM and TRUTH! 

It may be just like a quantum jump as happens in real non-doing (SAMADHI or MEDITATION). You are in it for years and one fine day you discover that the gates have opened! An accident and probably all we can do is to facilitate cause effects and circumstances for that accident to happen.  

This letter is written to bring to you facts as observed by me/us over years… it is just indicative. Feel free to experiment to use the electric circuits of your brain or establish new ones or modify existing ones… you have nothing to loose! May the joy of adventure, call of unknown and zeal of consciousness guide you!  

Thanks, Love and Regards

Compassion is the willingness to play in the field of dreams even though you are awake. 

Do not think that when one gives rise to the highest, most fulfilled, awakened mind one needs to see all objects of mind as nonexistent, cut off from life. Please do not think in that way. One who gives rise to the awakened mind does not deny objects or say that they are nonexistent.

One who gives rise to the awakened mind should know that what is called a self or a person, a living being or a life span, is not so in essence but only in concept. The names self, person, living being, or life span are names only. Subhuti, you should know that all the things of the world are like this, and you should have confidence in their essence without names. 

I am the infinite ocean.

When thoughts spring up,
The wind freshens, and like waves
A thousand worlds arise.

But when the wind falls,
The trader sinks with his ship.

On the boundless ocean of my being
Her founders,
And all the worlds with him
