Training Course Outline for Introduction to Audio-Visual Entrainment: Arousal, AVE Technology and Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES)

Few people including clinicians have ever observed their own responses to stressors, fearful thoughts, guided imageries, and so on. Therefore, roughly, one-third of the course time is directed toward hands-on experience where the attendee not only observes other people’s behavior in various situations but also develops self-awareness of his/her own behaviors through a series of simple, effective experiments.

Module 1 – Arousal

a)    Lecture - Learn about arousal and fear.  Humans have fear responses to physical threats, rejection from others, rejection from self, repressed memories and imagined threats.  We are indeed the most fear-based organism on the planet.

b)    Practical - Learn about how people hold tension in their bodies. Learn arm-relaxing exercises and the effect of electromyography (EMG) and electrodermal responses (EDR) to stress and relaxation.

c)    Lecture - Learn about the physiological impacts and the psychological aspects of trauma.  QEEGs (brain maps) are also presented. 

d)    Practical - Cortical Arousal: Learn the difference between attention and meditation using EEG alpha wave monitoring.

e)    Practical - Learn the effects of challenge and stress "playing" the ThinkFAST game while being monitored for EDR and EEG.

Module 2 - Introduction to Audio-Visual Entrainment

a)    Lecture - Learn about the physiological mechanisms of AVE.

b)    Lecture - learn about the psychological aspects of AVE.

c)    Lecture - Review the studies completed using AVE (these include chronic pain, dental applications, FMS, SAD and insomnia).

d)    Lecture - Review the studies using AVE to treat ADD/ADHD and how dynamics at home and school  create "mock" symptoms producing false positives and how treatment needs to be tailored in these situations.

Module 3 - Using AVE with Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

a)    Lecture - Learn about HRV and review clinical cases involving depression, anxiety and trauma with pre/post AVE outcomes.

b)    Demo - Learn how the heartbeat in the DAVID systems may be used to pace breathing for HRV work and how to use the Freeze Framer system.

c)    Practical - Use the Freeze Framer during various mental conditions and during AVE.

Module 4 - AVE Side Effects and Contraindications, and  DAVID Equipment Operation and Protocols

a)    Lecture - Learn about AVE side-effects to avoid problems and maximize outcomes.

b)    Lecture - Learn about AVE contraindications to avoid problems.

c)    Demo - Learn how to use the DAVID systems in clinical setting for maximum client comfort and what to instruct clients for home use.

d)    Lecture - Learn about the 22 protocols used for treating various maladies and conditions.

Module 5 - Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES)

a)    Lecture - Review the principles of CES operation.

b)    Lecture - Review a number of the 126 published studies on CES.

c)    Lecture - Learn how to use CES in conjunction with AVE.

d)    Practical - Experience CES, noting its effects.

 

Upcoming Training Dates For 2008:

 

 

This course costs $675.00 US/CDN for the first person and $360.00 US/CDN for each additional person within a group. Training typically requires four days and includes a question- and-answer period at the end of each day. Graduates will receive a certificate in Neurotechnology and Audio-Visual Entrainment training. The Introduction Training Course is strongly recommended for non-professionals who wish to become distributors, as distributors are expected to complete an open-book exam.

A deposit of $350.00 US/CDN guarantees you a space in the training. A deposit for the Introduction Training Course provides you with the following pre-training materials; "The Rediscovery of Audio-Visual Entrainment Technology" by Dave Siever, and "The AVE Session & Protocol Guide for Professionals" by Dave Siever and other course materials.
