This is going to be a very quick look, because the machine only just arrived today, Fortunately I had a bit of a break in the real work, so I’ve been able to sneak a good bit of time with the little beasty.

We’ve been ahead of the curve since 1988. Our mission is to provide tools for the inner explorer to create a more enlightened and enjoyable life.The MindPlace Company (and its predecessor, Synetic Systems) has been selling microprocessor-co.
Photosonix have been around since 1981, and took the plunge into neuro-products in 1990. They’ve obviously been paying attention to what’s going on, because they’ve packed a heap into their mid-range offering (their range also includes the Luma10 and the Nova Pro 100).
They’ve gone with the enviro angle for the packaging – a very plain white box with a simple coloured sleeve, bearing the directive under the flap to “please recycle”. Inside one finds the InnerPulse, a pair of glasses, a pair of headphones, a patch cable, a serial cable and a manual. Apart from the diagrams, which look as though they’ve been captured off a webpage and printed on a laser printer out of toner, the manual is good. Sweetwater sound driver. Very good, actually, with clear instructions and the most detailed session descriptions I’ve seen.
The machine itself shows just how deceptive web advertising can be – I expected a sleek, compact unit with sweeping curves. In real life, the unit is big – 145x90x20mm. That’s almost twice the size of a Procyon, but quite a lot thinner. The corners are only slightly rounded, so it looks almost like a small paperback. The build is mediocre. The battery cover only just keeps the 4x AA batteries in, bulging in the middle. The hole in the case for the power adapter (optional, 6V 300mA) looks as though it was chewed out by mice. A strange little piece of silver plastic (the same as the control panel) is stuck over an unused hole at the sockets end.
I was hoping to have the ColorTrack glasses, but as they cost as much again as the machine itself, I decided to go with the Standard glasses for a start. The glasses that arrived are the True White, which confuses me a little, as they are listed as Premium glasses. Whatever. Physically, the glasses are unimpressive – better than iLightz, about the same as L&S Synergizer. Unlike virtually every other machine on the market, this machine uses Common Ground glasses, so none of the other ones I’ve got lying around can be used. The headphones aren’t bad – they’re comfortable and they sound just fine. I dearly wish, however, that mind machine manufacturers would realise that phones with split cable entry are the root of all cable-tangle evil – it is a matter of natural law that every time you put everything down, by the time you pick it up again, everything is looped through the headphones. Please, oh please, start supplying single cable entry headphones (like the ones that come with the MindAlive machines).
That’s it. I have no further criticisms. I really, really like this machine!
In use, the glasses have substantially increased my enthusiasm about White. They’re sticky-outy LEDs, but boy, are they bright. This is the first machine I’ve used that I simply cannot use at full brightness. It also gives a great demonstration of how varying the brightness changes the visuals. Like the DAVID, it has a socket on the glasses – no worry about damaging the cable at the connection point, Unlike the DAVID, which has 2.5mm plug and socket for the glasses, the InnerPulse uses a standard 3.5mm stereo connector – easy to find a replacement at any electronics shop.
The four-button/LED user interface confirms my impression that LCD alphanumeric displays aren’t a significant advantage – everything you need to do is easily done. Photosonix have pushed the envelope in how much information can be conveyed with a 3-digit 7-segment display – almost every possible segment combination has a meaning (download the manual and take a look!) In addition to the 7-segment display, there’s 7 discrete LEDs that provide status and selection information.
I mentioned in another post that I’d been playing some Photosonix sessions with Mind Explorer. My comment was something to the effect that if the InnerPulse renders the sessions as well as Mind Explorer, it would be a pretty nice machine. Well, it does. The sessions sound great, and what a variety. There’s 50 Sound and Light sessions, grouped neatly into Relaxation, Special, Meditation, Sleep, Learning, Energize, Create/Visualize and Entertain/Fun categories. When selecting sessions, you first select a category, indicated on the display by the best 7-segment impression of the category initial. You then up/down to the particular session within the category. There’s also 10 Breath sessions. These sessions simply have rising and falling tones, along with gently brightening and dimming lights, to correspond to inhalation and exhalation. It would be ridiculously easy to emulate these sessions with any machine or software, but I guess the big thing is that Photosonix just did it. The final four sessions are Improv – random based on theta, alpha, SMR or beta.
The few sessions I’ve already tried are as good as any of their type. The audio is very pleasing, using pulsed frequency, pulsed surf, pulsed chords, binaural beats, binaural beats with surf, dual binaurals and/or dual monaurals. Having a noise generator (surf) is a great touch. The lightshows are well designed and make good use of a feature similar to the iLightz – light/sound phase control, with the options of in-phase, left/right, front/back (lights then sound then lights…), cross, lights alternating or sound alternating. I believe this is the only machine that allows session time scaling – after pressing Play to start the 10 second countdown, pressing Select displays the session time, which can be incremented or decremented with the Up and Down keys (the time changes in preset steps).
I like a machine to have a manual mode, and the InnerPulse has a seriously kick-ass manual mode – Operator Controlled Session. Everything is accessible in real time from the front panel – beat, pitch, tone-type, ramps and sound/light phase. Unfortunately it’s a bit too much to hope that this could be done blind – with so many functions it is necessary to take the glasses off and have a look at the status LEDs as you flick through the options. Beat and Pitch can, however be done blind quite nicely.
The other controls are the on/off switch, which is easily overlooked, being a little black nubbins recessed into the case near the headphone socket. It looks a bit cheapo, but it works well and it’s unlikely to be accidentally pressed. The volume and brightness are on the side of the machine and are plain, simple analog thumbwheels – nothing clever, they just work.
When I was first looking at the InnerPulse (when I was in a snotty mood with MindPlace I seriously considered this machine) it had the AudioStrobe logo printed on it. When I saw that this one didn’t I quickly checked the manual and the website. All’s well, it’s a really, truly live AudioStrobe decoder and it does the job as well as the L&S or Proteus.
One the thing I don’t like about single colour glasses and the left/right flashing thing is that it’s really annoying if the left and right intensity don’t match. There’s a lot of good reasons why they often don’t – you have to pay extra for brightness-matched LEDs among others. The InnerPulse deals with this by having independent left/right brightness controls tucked discretely away in the Options mode. Also under Options you’ve got a choice of sine, square or phase-erase (random pulse width) for the glasses drive waveform, some custom tweaks for the Breath and Improve modes, and a Restore Defaults option for when you’ve created total chaos.
The preset sessions are cast in stone, but there’s space for another 25 sessions/250 segments. Additional sessions (the ones I’ve referred to before) can be downloaded free. You can also create your own sessions with the optional (US$39.00) L/S Designer software. I don’t have a copy just yet, but I’ll post an update when I’ve had a look at it. Sessions are uploaded to the InnerPulse with the free, downloadable, L/S Librarian program. Connection to a PC is via the supplied serial cable (the same as the Proteus). I’ve got mixed feelings about the USB/serial debate. Serial ports are getting a bit scarce on new machines, but they work without any fussing with drivers. USB ports, on the other hand, are everywhere, but you’re often stuck with operating system/vendor driver issues. USB-Serial adapters are cheap enough, but some just don’t quite work like a real hardware serial port.
Honestly, we, the AVS consuming public, are truly spoiled for choice. I started off giving relative ratings, but I’m going to give that up as a plain bad idea. The InnerPulse is a good machine. It’s really up to you to decide just what features matter to you – you’re just not going to end up with a bad machine, but on the other hand, you’re also not going to find all things desirable in any one of them.
It’s been a long day. I think I’ll take my InnerPulse to bed now, and as my mind is going to be still well and truly abuzz, I’ll give the TKO, Technical Knock Out, “high tech sleep aid” a go.
Cheers,
Craig
P.S. I’ve now had a little play with the L/S Designer. It uses a very simple spreadsheet format with all functions neatly laid out. The graphical views don’t appear to be all that useful, except possibly for spotting anomalies. In many ways this editor is similar to the one that is available for the DAVID – straightforward and functional with no frills. The design of the InnerPulse and DAVID sound systems is obviously quite similar, as the sounds are all quite specific, whereas the Proteus and Procyon, being full synthesisers, have to be a little more arcane, allowing infinite flexibility in how you apply tone generation and modulation. Once again, very few people ever do more than dabble with their own session design, and the sessions supplied with the InnerPulse, and available on their website, cover most needs very adequately. The editor will do a perfectly fine job for those who do feel the need to do it their way.

Session List
| 1 | Power Regeneration | Peak Performance | 20:00 | Studies of peak performance suggest that you perform better with a “power nap” as part of a daily routine; in other words, a break completely away from your duties and responsibilities. You will be able to perform more efficiently and actually find yourself accomplishing more. With time you might also find that your desire for stimulants like coffee, tea or sweetened soft drinks will decrease. Use this session, or sessions P03, P04, P07, P09, or P17 for feelings of mental and physical regeneration. |
| 2 | Performance Intensive | Peak Performance | 18:00 | This fast-paced session is great if you feel the need for a “mood boost.” We suggest that you use it with your favorite high beat music. This is a session you can use several times in a row if you choose. |
| 3 | Quick Break | Peak Performance | 15:00 | Use this session during your day to quickly feel refreshed and regenerated. It is a very useful session to use when you know you have a very long and busy schedule ahead of you. A 15 minute break a few times per day is an investment in focus, clarity, and decision making. |
| 4 | Power Pause | Peak Performance | 15:00 | This is a slightly more stimulating version of session 03. It will help clear your mind of all thoughts for a few minutes and increase your mental clarity. You can choose to use fast-paced music instead of the internal sounds. |
| 5 | Athletic Warm-Up | Peak Performance | 15:00 | This session will help enhance feelings of relaxed concentration prior to exercise or physical competition. A number of athletes do exceptionally well in practice only to falter in competition. Top performers are able to maintain consistent performance under all circumstances. The key is a relaxed yet focused state allowing your mind and body to work in harmony. Physical training is only half the battle towards success in competition. Sit quietly and visualize yourself (and your team) attaining the goals you set for yourself. You may also use this session with any number of peak performance or positive affirmation tapes. You or your coach may even record your own positive affirmations and play them back while using this session. |
| 6 | Peak Composure | Peak Performance | 30:00 | Use this session between athletic competitions for visualization, success, and peak performance. It is best to use it with either positive affirmation or guided visualization scripts written and spoken by yourself, your coach or trainer, or with any of the fine recorded products available on the market. You do not have to be involved in sports competition to enjoy the positive effects of this session. |
| 7 | Quick Work Break | Relaxation | 15:00 | The common wisdom says you should take breaks at regular intervals if, for example, you work on a computer for extended periods of time. Combine this session with a good regimen of stretching exercise to avoid many of the chronic physical maladies that affect more and more people who sit in one place too long. In addition, we suggest that you use this session during your break times. It is also great after lunch and before you go back to the keyboard. |
| 8 | Mind Sauna | Relaxation | 25:00 | Use this with deep breathing and muscle awareness exercises. Start by breathing from your diaphragm. You will know you are doing this correctly when you feel your stomach, not your chest, moving up and down with every deep breath. As you allow your muscles to relax, tension will disappear. You may try lying down while using this session with relaxing music. There is a quick two minute boost at the end of the session to bring you “back up” again. (Note: chart peaks at 50Hz) |
| 9 | Quick Refresher | Relaxation | 16:00 | Here is help for you to refocus your energies. Use it if you are feeling you need to be able to revitalize yourself during a particularly difficult day. As you become more familiar with the subtleties of the various sessions you will find you will tend to develop favorites you use several times a week. Because they are convenient to use, some of the 15-20 minute sessions like this one will get a lot of use. |
| 10 | Regeneration | Relaxation | 35:00 | This session is long enough to allow you to reach a state of very deep relaxation and focused concentration. Some people feel this session seems much shorter then 35 minutes. A session like this has to be used on a regular basis over a period of several weeks to help you learn to properly let go and allow yourself to become deeply relaxed. This is also a good session to use with relaxation or self-help tapes. |
| 11 | Deep Meditation | Relaxation | 60:00 | Make time for yourself! Use this session when you know you will remain undisturbed. This is the longest session offered and for beginning users it may seem too long. It is excellent as a training session if you are trying to learn how to meditate for extended periods. You may find your meditation practice will go more smoothly even without the help of this machine. |
| 12 | Tranquility 15 | Relaxation | 15:00 | (P12 15min) ) Basic relaxation sessions that float back-and-forth between Alpha and Theta states. The 35 min and 45 min sessions mix in binaural beats. |
| 13 | Tranquility 25 | Relaxation | 25:00 | (P13 25min) |
| 14 | Tranquility 35 | Relaxation | 35:00 | (P14 35min |
| 15 | Tranquility 45 | Relaxation | 45:00 | (P15 45min) |
| 16 | Tranquility 60 | Relaxation | 60:00 | (P16 60min) |
| 17 | Quick Alertness Break | Learning | 10:00 | This is a perfect session to help you remain focused on your studies. It is designed to be used once every 40 to 60 minutes. This session will help you to better integrate the material during your study period. |
| 18 | Learning with Tapes | Learning | 35:00 | This session is specifically designed for use with language tapes. It uses the techniques pioneered by a Bulgarian researcher, called “Superlearning”. It involves developing a state of relaxed and focused concentration. |
| 19 | Relax Before Exams or Pressure Situations | Learning | 15:00 | It will leave you with a sense of calm, focus and confidence. Concentration can be broken when you are feeling uneasy. Everyone has had the experience of taking an exam, feeling pressured and forgetting material they easily remember when the pressure is taken off. This session is ideal for use before an exam or presentation. |
| 20 | Concentration | Learning | 15:00 | This session is designed to quickly bring you into a calm, focused state. A relaxed body allows the mind more ability to be alert and attentive. Your main focus when using this session should be to allow your body to become as relaxed as possible while maintaining your alertness. Use your breathing exercises to help you do that. |
| 21 | Creativity Enhancement | Learning | 20:00 | This session sweeps through a series of frequencies to help stimulate your thought processes. Use it frequently for maximum benefit. Try this one for several days in a row for help with problem solving. Try not to push for a solution: try to allow one to come on its own. Sometimes letting go is the best method. |
| 22 | Visualization | Learning | 20:00 | Use this when you feel tired and want a session that moves through a series of frequencies for stimulation and visualization. If you are a visual person, you will see all kinds of kaleidoscopic imagery. The session is quite enjoyable with very pleasant after-effects. |
| 23 | MindLab Learn 15 | Learning | 15:00 | (P23 15min) Various length sessions to ease absorption of new information and concepts and to improve memorization. Can be used before, during (without glasses) and after study sessions. |
| 24 | MindLab Learn 25 | Learning | 25:00 | (P24 25min) |
| 25 | MindLab Learn 35 | Learning | 35:00 | (P25 35min) |
| 26 | MindLab Learn 45 | Learning | 45:00 | (P26 45min) |
| 27 | MindLab Learn 60 | Learning | 60:00 | (P27 60min) |
| 28 | Mind Body Awareness | Well-Being | 25:00 | There is a direct connection between health of the mind and the body. It is difficult to have a relaxed mind while your body feels tense. Alternatively, it is difficult to allow your body to relax if your mind is overactive or you are filled with emotional anxiety. This session is best used with a recorded program designed for relaxation of your body and mind. If no tape is available, do a body awareness exercise of going through each muscle group and becoming aware of tight spots. Work to release and relax your entire body over this 25 minute session. Use it often if this is your main area of concern. Pay attention to your body and notice if you find it becoming looser as the weeks progress. |
| 29 | Afternoon Break | Well-Being | 22:00 | Mix this session with some gentle, soothing music or nature sounds to reduce the tensions caused by your daily life. The session is long enough to help you to become deeply refreshed, but not so long as to cut too heavily into your other daily responsibilities. One of the most difficult problems to overcome is making the time each day to use the unit in a meaningful way. If you find this to be the case try any of the 15-25 minute sessions and commit yourself to using them. If you can spare a few extra minutes you may find this session becomes one of your favorites. |
| 30 | Deep Relaxation | Well-Being | 25:00 | Try this session first if you are really sensitive or just starting out on the machine. This is one of the gentlest sessions in the unit. Just sit back and allow yourself to gently settle in. |
| 31 | Goodnight | Well-Being | 18:00 | This is a great session to use at the end of your day. Lie down, and set the lights at a low level. It is fairly short because we do not want you to fall asleep while still wearing the glasses and headphones. |
| 32 | Release the Day | Well-Being | 25:00 | Use this with the lights set to a low to moderate setting. This is an end of the day session for calming and internal balance. It is best used when you have planned no more social interaction for the remainder of the evening, including TV Perhaps after using it you will want to read a book for a while or just go directly to sleep. |
| 33 | MindLab Visualize 15 | Well-Being | 15:00 | (P33 15min) Use this when you feel tired and want a session that moves through a series of frequencies for stimulation and visualization. If you are a visual person,you will see all kinds o kaleidoscopic imagery.P33 & P34 are similar except that P34 does not vary brightness levels and there is no sound modulation. P35 & P36 are similar except that P36 does not vary brightness levels and there is no sound modulation. P37 is the longest and gentlest of these visualization sessions. Each cycle is repeated fifteen (15) times. The chart shown is the basic cycle for P37. |
| 34 | MindLab Visualize 25 | Well-Being | 25:00 | (P34 25min) |
| 35 | MindLab Visualize 35 | Well-Being | 35:00 | (P35 35min) |
| 36 | MindLab Visualize 45 | Well-Being | 45:00 | (P36 45min) |
| 37 | MindLab Visualize 60 | Well-Being | 60:00 | (P37 60min) |
| 38 | MindLab Energize 15 | Well-Being | 15:00 | (P38 15min) These sessions sweep through Alpha frequencies and touch the lower Beta frequencies. Use these sessions to calm your mind without relaxing too much. P42 (60min) varies the program by adding 18Hz peaks and alternates them with the 14Hz peaks. Chart shown is P41 (45min). |
| 39 | MindLab Energize 25 | Well-Being | 25:00 | (P39 25min) |
| 40 | MindLab Energize 35 | Well-Being | 35:00 | (P40 35min) |
| 41 | MindLab Energize 45 | Well-Being | 45:00 | (P41 45min) |
| 42 | MindLab Energize 60 | Well-Being | 60:00 | (P42 60min) |
| 43 | MindLab Sleep 15 | Well-Being | 15:00 | (P43 15min) Use these sessions to fall asleep. They do not “rise” at the end to wake you up so use them when you want to fall asleep and stay asleep. |
| 44 | MindLab Sleep 25 | Well-Being | 25:00 | (P44 25min) |
| 45 | MindLab Sleep 35 | Well-Being | 35:00 | (P45 35min) |
| 46 | MindLab Sleep 45 | Well-Being | 45:00 | (P46 45min) |
| 47 | MindLab Sleep 60 | Well-Being | 60:00 | (P47 60min) |
| 48 | Pure Entertainment | Entertainment | 16:00 | (P48 16min) (P49 9min) Two “light show” sessions. P48 is the longer of the two and really shows off how complex a Proteus session can be. P48 moves through 113 segments (changes) in just 16 minutes! |
| 49 | Pyrotechnics | Entertainment | 9:00 | P49 is shorter (time) and does not vary the audio frequency. P49 moves through 76 segments in just 9 minutes! The visualizations produced by these sessions are unbelievable! Use these sessions to entertain and massage your brain! |
