Shakti Spiritual Technology. The four coil Shakti unit is best suited to gradual transformation, meditation enhancement and spiritual experiences.
They can utilize 16 signals, placed over 5 areas of the brain for a range of effects. Shakti For Windows is available with four coils. The four coil version takes advantage of both stereo channels so that different signals can be applied to each side of the brain. The signals used with the four coil units are 'static'. This is less effective than the more dynamic, alternating signals in the 8 Coil System, but still can create some very worthwhile results. SHAKTI - 4 Coil units The 8 Coil Shakti is designed to facilitate intense spiritual experiences. Alternating (or rotating) the signals between the two pairs of coils greatly amplifies the power of this technology. Can the 8-coil Shakti alter subjective em... [Percept Mot Skills. 2012.
“God helmet”?…yeah…right… – Pure Pedantry. A Christmas present, maybe?
Maybe not. A “neurotheology” researcher called Dr Michael Persinger has developed something called the “God Helmet” lined with magnets to help you in your quest: it sounds like typical bad science fodder, but it’s much more interesting than that.Persinger is a proper scientist. The temporal lobes have long been implicated in religious experiences: epileptic seizures in that part of the brain, for example, can produce mystical experiences and visions. Persinger’s helmet stimulates these temporal lobes with weak electromagnetic fields through the skull, and in various published papers this stimulation has been shown to induce a “sensed presence”, under blinded conditions.
There is controversy around these findings: some people have tried to replicate them, although not using exactly the same methods, and got different results. Two comments. Comment #1: The bit that temporal lobe epilepsy can cause quasi-religious experiences isn’t nonsense. Comment #2. Dr. Michael Persinger's Koren Helmet - The God Experience. MOH Forum: 8-coil Shakti of BS? Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2005 | 05:50 PM It's on a free server, but there are no ads, so it's probably been upgraded to 'premium' or some such thing that has to be paid for.
The site has a letter from the doctor that makes it plain that it isn't a hoax. The guy, Todd, is listed on the university's web page. As for what it does, it's pretty clear that it's for having altered states, and as anyone who has ever smoked pot knows, everybody's different where that's concrned. The same goes for the 'light and sound' devices, too. There's a long report on another site that has some pretty good things to say about it.
The note not to use it if you have brain damage is probably to cover the liability. I got interested after seeing a documentary on TV, and going to google. I doubt it's a hoax. I wrote the webmaster an email (asking about using it with yoga), and he replied pretty quickly. I plan to get one of the cheaper ones at some point, and if it adds to my yoga experience, I'll know it.
Electrophysiological and quantitative electro... [Int J Neurosci. 2004. June 2006. I asked Mr.
Murphy for his recommendations on what to do for the 2nd session and here's his reply: "You could repeat the same session as last time, or you could reverse the order of presentation so that you begin with the temporal lobes and end with the frontal lobes. That session will be more likely to elicit after-effectsthan primary ones, but they're cool, too. " So I decided to do the reverse order...
I did the 'Half-Second Alternating Amygdala and Hippocampal Signals' 2 phase session starting on the temporal lobes for 30 minutes, then over the frontal lobes for 30 minutes, while lying down in a dark room with noise cancelation headphones. God helmet. The "God Helmet" refers to an experimental apparatus originally called the "Koren helmet" after its inventor Stanley Koren.
It was developed by Koren and neuroscientist Michael Persinger to study creativity and the effects of subtle stimulation of the temporal lobes.[1] Reports by participants of a "sensed presence" while wearing the God helmet brought public attention and resulted in several TV documentaries.[2] The device has been used in Persinger's research in the field of neurotheology, the study of the neural correlates of religion and spirituality. The apparatus, placed on the head of an experimental subject, generates very weak fluctuating magnetic fields, that Persinger refers to as "complex. " These fields are approximately as strong as those generated by a land line telephone handset or an ordinary hair dryer, but far weaker than that of an ordinary refrigerator magnet and approximately a million times weaker than transcranial magnetic stimulation.[3] Development[edit]
