Quest for Lucidity
120

Not wishing to change the subject again, but anyway who owns the Brainwave Generator program already has everything they need to create a strobe light using their computer monitor that can be programmed to go off whenever and for however long they want during the night to try and use to become lucid with. Of course your computer monitor would need to be fairly close to your bed for this to work, but it does work very well, and is very versatile. Here are some steps for setting up the Brainwave Generator to use your monitor as a strobe light.

  1. Select Options, then select Full Screen
  2. Select Options, Visual Color Options
  3. Put a checkmark in the Override Visual Color Options Of Individual Presets
  4. Click on the 1st color and select Modify color
  5. Set this first color to black as this will be the color your screen will start with and remain with until it begins cycling through the colors, which will leave your computer screen dark until the flashing begins.
  6. Keep the second color as is
  7. Select Add and select something like a bright red for the third color
  8. Select Add and select something like a bright yellow for the fourth color
  1. Add any other colors you wish or change any of the above you wish except for the first one.
  1. Click OK
  2. Open the properties box
  3. Click on the Visual tab
  4. Take the X out of the track another parameter if one is in there
  5. Select the Visual Brightness dropdown box and select Full brightness
  6. Set the first 60 or 90 minutes, however it long it takes you to start dreaming to 0.
  7. Set the remaining part of the preset for whatever and whenever you want the flashing to take place. In my early experiments today it seemed like 20 produces a good flash.
  8. Test the preset by changing the length to 1 and watching it, then change it back before actually using it.
  9. If you want to set up a strobe light without any of the binarual beat sounds, just set the Sound Volume on the Sound tab to Zero Volume.
  10. Under the Options menu there is also an option for using External Goggles (AudioStrobe) for anyone who wants to try this with goggles.
