The ABT BioscanTM measures small electrical signals from your brain, known as brain waves. Your alpha brain waves in particular, are idling rhythms that occur primarily when our eyes are closed and our mind is completely free of thoughts. Notice how the alpha, SMR and beta waves come and go in spindles, short packets of wavelets that rise and fall.


The moment we open our eyes, our brain begins processing visual information and the alpha waves suppress. When we engage in reading or math, our alpha waves suppress even more. There is a brain wave "signature" for every type of activity we may choose to do. However, there are times when our brain waves don't work well.

For instance, people who don't make alpha waves (and theta waves) when their eyes are closed, typically have insomnia. People who make a lot of alpha (or theta) waves when they are trying to read or pay attention are foggy-headed and can't focus their attention on the task they are trying to do.

Most people don't understand what it means to REALLY pay attention or REALLY let go into meditative bliss.

People who can't engage their mind have trouble paying attention and miss out on what is going on, then often feel anxious because they feel uncertain. People who can't disengage themselves usually pay attention well for a while, but become tired early on, then can't pay attention plus feel anxious and tired.

The key to optimal functioning is FLEXIBILITY. The ABT BioscanTM easily helps train the user to learn to "shift state". Within a few training sessions you will learn to change back and forth from intense focus to deep meditation in mere seconds. The ABT BioscanTM can help you learn about thoughts that cause you to feel stressed so that you can learn to manage these destructive thoughts.


The ABT BioscanTM reads brain waves in the theta, mid alpha and SMR/low beta brain wave bands to help reduce the symptoms of insomnia, anxiety and attention deficit disorders and for improving meditation. The ABT Bioscan may be used at home in bed, during reading, listening to a lecture or while listening to pre-recorded material (waterfalls, lectures, various situations where the user is trouble in relaxing or paying attention). Therapists will find the ABT Bioscan an ideal adjunct to their standard therapy, providing transferrance from what their client has learned in the clinic and applying those new skills to real life applications.

The EDA BioscanTM not only measures your immediate stress response, known as state anxiety, but it also tells you about your overall stress, known as trait anxiety. By taking note of your trait anxiety reading, you can tell on a day-to-day basis if are becoming more relaxed or more anxious.
