This is the first issue of the AVS Journal, published in the Fall of 2000. The ‘hardcopy' edition has long sold out, but here is your opportunity to have the premier issue in our downloadable text format. The following is an excerpt from this issue's page one, along with the table of contents:
AVS stands for auditory / visual stimulation and is also referred to as light and sound technology. This journal is about pulsed light and sound frequency stimulation, on- going and recently completed research programs utilizing AVS instrumentation, upcoming events and interesting methods for maximizing your light and sound session experiences.
Our goal is to increase public awareness to the benefits and effectiveness of AVS technology and to provide AVS users (professionals and non-professionals alike) with a forum for sharing their AVS views and research. And please keep in mind that these views and research are not limited to just medical applications, but also pertain to enhancing personal growth, mind exploration and personal / public entertainment.
You are invited to submit articles, offer comments, even give your opinion concerning AVS technology and utilization. If submitting an article, it must be current, be copyrighted by the author and be accompanied with a signed release stating it is okay for us to print your article. We cannot return articles that are submitted, but if your article is chosen for an upcoming issue, we will be contacting you. If you would like to comment on a particular AVS subject or should you wish to offer your opinion about a certain aspect of AVS utilization, write to us. We will be having a reader's forum beginning with our next issue. So if you have something to say, here is your opportunity.
I would like to thank all of you who have helped turn this idea into reality. The authors, who have taken time out of their busy schedules to submit articles, have given this journal the information necessary to have an immediate impact, and for that we are most grateful. And to the advertisers, whose assistance and faith enabled this journal to be published, our sincerest thanks. Please show your appreciation by visiting the websites of these leaders in AVS research and sales. And be sure to let them know where you received their contact information!
And to all of you, our readers: many of you have been involved with light and sound instrumentation for years, many of you are just beginning. There is one common thread that ties us all together: we all know that AVS works. We need to make this knowledge available to the general public. AVS needs to be viewed as a credible technology for improving the quality of life. For making a good thing better. Now is our chance. Please get involved!

"A light and sound machine is a brainwave entrainment tool. The method by which this
entrainment occurs is known as the Frequency Following Response (FFR). Through
the use of audio (headphones) & visual (eye frames with LEDs) stimulation,
listeners are gently guided into specific brainwave states. Each audio beat and
pulse is a specific frequency. Our minds "think" in terms of frequency.
Brainwaves change frequencies based on neural activity within the brain, be it
by hearing, touch, smell, vision and/or taste. These senses respond to activity
from the environment and transmits that information to the brain via electrical
signals. Hearing + vision are considered the favorable senses for affecting
brainwaves safely. By presenting these beats & pulses to the brain, within a few
minutes, the brain begins to mimic or follow the same frequencies as the stimuli
(the beats and pulses). This process is referred to as entrainment. In essence,
these instruments speak to the
