5.2 Placing / Editing of Frequency Markers

The MindLights

®

 allow you to create your own personal sessions. These consist of many 

individual frequency markers.

These frequency markers represent key frames which trigger an audio-visual shift within 
the session. You can now determine when and how these shifts will happen in your 
session. The following parameters can be adjusted:

5.2.1 Time and Frequency

Click in any area of the canvas to set your first fre-
quency marker. The marker will start to blink. Click 
and drag on the marker to move it around anywhere 
on the surface.

The following window shows how particular para-
meters, such as time and frequency, dynamically 
adjust according to your commands.

The time- and frequency parameters can either be 
adjusted by clicking and dragging the markers, or 
by manually entering the desired values. More infor-
mation on certain wave frequencies and their effects 
can be found on page 40-41.

5.2.2 Primary / Secondary Colors

You can click in the two color fields to open the 
color-picking window. Now you can choose which 
colors shall be used for stimulation at this point of 
the session.

If your primary and secondary colors are the same, 
you will only see one color. The »reset« button will 
set the colors back to black and white. They can 
then be redefined according to your adjustments.

5.2.3 Deleting Frequency Markers

Select an existing frequency marker and then click on the »delete« button in the prefe-
rences window.

5.2.4 Copying a Color Selection

When you have selected your own primary and secondary color you can easily save 
your adjustments by clicking in the »copy« field. The parameters will be transferred by 
clicking on another frequency marker and then clicking the »paste« button. 

5.2.5 Preview Function

After you have made all your desired adjustments for time, frequency and colors, you 
can check them again.

Activate the preview function by clicking in the »preview« box. (page 32 image at the 
top left).

Put on the MindLights

®

 LED-mask and the headphones and look at your audio-visual 

adjustments. In addition, you can adjust every parameter with the main controller in the 
canvas. When you are pleased with your preferences you can set your next frequency 
marker. This work pattern can be repeated all the time.

By activating the preview function, it will stay on for all following markers. The LED’s 
will flash slower though. If you want to see the chosen frequency in the preview, just 
click in the field where you can enter the frequency with your mouse, while the preview 
is playing.

Frequency markers can also be edited in predefined demo- / or subject related 
sessions.
