The Oasis Pro is an innovative, high-quality and highly featured Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) device that uses tiny, pulsed electric current to promote good mental health and wellness.
The micro-current is delivered through small clips, attached to the earlobes, and can be used while sitting or lying down, or whilst engaged in quiet, non-hazardous activities.
Amongst the Oasis Pro's leading innovations is its use of a process which randomises the frequency of the micro-current delivered during a CES session. This randomisation has been shown to reduce habituation – that's the process whereby the brain adjusts to, and then ignores a stimulus. By reducing habituation in this way, the effect of CES is significantly bolstered.
And the Oasis Pro doesn't just stop at this, because it employs two different types of randomisation: phase-shifted randomisation and frequency randomisation.
This may sound a little complicated, but what it means, in practical terms, is that any given Oasis Pro session provides randomised stimulation within the brain wave range selected by the user (making use of an entrainment effect), to help maximise the beneficial effects of CES.
In addition to its innovative and distinctive randomisation feature, the Oasis Pro also uses a rounded wave of pulsed electrical energy to provide stimulation. This is in contrast to the square wave that has been more typically employed in CES stimulation. The key benefit of this innovation is comfort. Square waves of electrical energy can cause many users to feel an uncomfortable stinging sensation at the earlobes, where the tiny electrical current is delivered. By rounding the leading edge of the electrical pulse wave, the Oasis Pro has managed to remove over 80% of the stinging sensation often experienced by users of other CES devices.
The Oasis Pro's pre-programmed sessions employ the following frequencies:
Each session can be set for 20 minutes, 45 minutes, or three hours, except the Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 sessions, which run for 20 minutes and 3 hours respectively.
About Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES)
Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) was developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1940s to help with sleep problems and has since been used by millions of people all over the world. Over 200 studies to date have shown that CES increases the calming type of neurotransmitters within the brain, namely serotonin and endorphins. Clinical research over the past 50 years has shown that CES calms the mind, boosts relaxation, helps with sleep, and improves mental sharpness and ability in general. CES is particularly useful in producing calm in situations like being at the dentist, while writing exams or struggling with the fast pace of work or school. CES also settles body discomfort.
About Microcurrent Electro Therapy (MET)
Although electro-medicine has been in existence for well over a thousand years, developments in electronics and new research has seen this technology grow at a terrific rate in recent years. Microcurrent Electro Therapy (MET) is very different than traditional TENS because MET produces its benefits in part on a cellular level. MET has longer-lasting effects than TENS. The concept of MET is based, in part, on Arndt’s Law, which states that weak stimuli excite physiological activity, whereas medium-strength stimuli will encourage it and strong stimuli will suppress it. It is believed that MET delivered at around 500 micro-amps in the 0.5 to 3 Hz range may be most effective for treating aches and discomfort.
What are gamma brain waves?
Gamma activity is largely a product of glia cell activity. Gamma brainwaves help with attention, focus, binding of senses (smell, sight, and hearing), consciousness, mental processing, and perception. The visual system relies heavily on gamma brainwave activity. The ability to recognize novel objects against a background of similar objects is due to gamma activity. So, something as simple as driving a car would be difficult if it were not for gamma. It has been found that gamma activity increases in the brain area related to the task being performed.
Mismatches in gamma/theta modulation, called thalamocortical dysrhythmia, are found to be associated with poor memory, tinnitus, and chronic pain. The gamma session set is made up of two sessions:
Gamma β2 20 min 38 – 42 Hz Randomised
Gamma β2 3 hrs 38 – 42 Randomised
