Is it possible to improve your brain capacity, intelligence, and creativity with sound technology? An ever-increasing body of scientific evidence suggests that it is. Tom Kenyon, founder of the Acoustic Brain Research Center and one of the foremost figures in the field of psychoacoustics, now brings together eight tested and verified sound programs to let listeners develop The Ultimate Brain. With over nine hours of active, passive, and ambient brain-wave entrainment tracks, this program features: • Sessions to activate the "holographic brain"—a state of maximum communication between the left and right brain for enriched creativity and awareness • Harnessing sound for emotional development, relaxation, and opening the heart • "Mind Gymnastiks"—active guided imagery and brain-wave entrainment exercises to boost mental energy, clarity, and cognitive ability • An audio user’s guide to help listeners develop their own sustained psychoacoustic practice and create lasting, positive improvements.

Book Description

About the Author
Tom Kenyon of Washington state founded Acoustic Brain Research in 1983 to scientifically document the effects of sound on consciousness. He is one of the most respected sound healers in the world, and author of Brain States (United States Publishing, 1994).
From AudioFile
The acoustic brain research carried out by the author since 1983 measures how sound patterns influence brain waves, which in the lower frequencies create relaxed states that improve creativity, learning, healing, mental flexibility, and self-acceptance. After a helpful introduction, the author presents eight CD programs of pulsating beats, pleasantly whining noises, and various instructions. Each CD is designed to achieve a different psychological goal. As a practical expansion of subliminal relaxation phenomena, this is an impressive audio effort, which is flawlessly expressed, eloquently explained, and potentially powerful. At this price, it's an investment, but one that could be immensely rewarding for listeners who commit to its assumptions and objectives regarding how people can change fundamental aspects of themselves.

High quality program - and it really works!,
This review is from: Ultimate Brain (Audio CD)
As an adult autistic, I am always looking for ways to relax myself and to stimulate the parts of my brain that don't function as properly as they should. I have been playing a lot of ambient-type cds at home when I sleep or just hang around the house - I am very sensitive to sound from outside and have a lot of insomnia. Some of the cds I have are good, others are not so good - there are a lot of people making this kind of stuff and some of them seem to think you can just noodle around on a synthesizer over some ocean wave sounds and come up with a subliminal CD.
I am happy to say that this series is the finest one I have discovered to date. The creator, Tom Kenyon, has done extensive scientific research on the brain and what types of sounds stimulate certain brain wave patterns. There are 9 cds in the set, and it includes an audio user's guide that helps you learn to make the most of the set. The CDs include: *Enhance Creative Problem Solving: Working in the mid-alpha, this program has been documented to significantly improve analytical abilities, problem solving, learning, and visualization skills. This cd is all music, no speech, and is very relaxed and pleasant to listen to. One of my favorites. * Mind Gymnastiks: Guided sessions along multiple brainwave frequencies for actively exercising specific areas of the brain. I found this one challenging, as it's hard for me to listen to voice-guided exercises. There is speech and music on this CD and unlike most of the others, you have to listen actively and participate to get the most out of it. *Ambient Support: Background music to lower stress and induce an ideal mid-alpha state of focused alertness. No speech. The music is very soft and pleasant. Another of my favorites. * Deep Rest: Take a quick trip through the immensely refreshing Low-delta to mid-alpha cycles with "The 22-Minutee Vacation", "The 24 Minute Nap", and "Sweet Delta". The first two have speech, the last does not. Again excellent music. * Deep Relaxation and Healing: A gentle "brain massage" in the theta range to help you dissolve tensions and drift into profound relaxation. This CD alone is worth the price of the set to me. It sent me to sleep for about three days straight - which might sound a little excessive, but I had been missing a lot of sleep up to then. I woke up feeling really refreshed and a lot calmer when dealing with sensory stressors in my everyday life. It amazes me how well this CD works. Better than tranquilizers without any of the side effects of chemicals. * Opening the Heart: Based on an ancient mantra believed to be the "sound of the inner heart", a moving, calming experience in the relaxing theta range. * Activate the Holographic Mind: A potent aid to psycho-navigation through altered states, taking you into the deep-theta range of vivid dreams and visions. This is another very pleasant, all-music CD which is one of my favorites. *Freedom to Change: This one is almost subliminal, but not quite. You hear the author speaking over ambient music but his voice is half-buried in the mix. I found it a little bit cheesy, but not as bad as the other hypnosis cds I have tried. The music, as with all the other cds in this collection, is excellent. Maybe I'm being a bit hard on the guy because many human voices bother me. * The user's guide This set is not cheap, but definitely worth the money. The music is excellent, ranging from muted ocean sounds, plucking strings, and other light pleasant stuff to strange, atmospheric, almost haunting. The sound balance is good - even when some odd tones are being played, it's never overwhelming and the rest of the music is very soothing - which gives a pleasant effect of stimulation and relaxation at the same time. The CDs come packaged in a nice box with a lot of information on the outside, and the user's guide cd also has an informative booklet. The best series of its kind I have ever tried. Well worth five stars. The price currently listed on Amazon averages to about $[...] per cd, not a bad deal especially for a set of this quality.

These music will take you to zone with no attempt, and is very healing. It will connect you with unknown,with yourself as well as with your subcounciouse.

T. Cochran,
This review is from: Ultimate Brain (Audio CD)
I ordered this about a month ago. I have noticed a significant change in my ability to problem solve. I am calmer and life doesn't seem to overwhelm me as much. My thoughts seem clearer and I'm not as forgetful as I once was. It seems that in the beginning my brain was reorganizing so I would forget things but not anymore. I am far more productive at work and I'm also a student. Thank God for Tom Kenyon! This stuff really works if you let it. The program works if you work the program, plain and simple.
