mind Wave - Review

mind Wave

mind Wave
By: mind Wave

Developer's Notes:

mind Wave is a unique brain wave application that puts you to a certain state of mind. These Binaural tones help to improve the learning process, relieve headaches, help you fall asleep, relax and even get rid of bad habits like smoking.
I have included 10 binaural beats to entertain your brain waves:●Study Aid●Sleep Induction●Relaxation●Deep Meditation●Mental Refreshed●Coffee●Creativity Boost●Focusing Attention●Weight loss●Headache Treatment
How it works: The easiest way of stimulating the brain is through ears. Other senses are often used as well like vision. The problem is that humans cannot hear low sounds, which are very useful for brain wave stimulation, that's where a technique called binaural beats is used.
Let me give you an example of a binaural beat/tone. Right ear is given a steady tone of 400Hz and the left one is given 410Hz, these tones combine in your brain to achieve a 10hz difference. This 10Hz tone is totally formed by your brain. This can only be achieved when using stereo headphones since the right and left channels do not mix until in your brain.
There are four frequency stages:●Delta (0.5Hz-5hz)●Theta (4Hz-8Hz)●Alpha (8Hz-14Hz)●Beta (14Hz-30Hz
For example: Theta stage (4hz-7Hz) has been found to increase learning abilities. Children spend more time in theta stage than adults, which could explain their accelerated learning capabilities.
I hope you enjoy this brainwave entertainment application as much as I do. More presets to come every month.
NOTE: You must wear stereo headphones in order for this application to have any affect.

Physiologist-iP
By: Dirk Hoffmann

Developer's Notes:

This Application helps you not only in calculating your BMI (Body Mass Index), but also your W/H ratio (Waist/Hip ratio).
The W/H ratio is very often forgotten, although it is a very useful and important indicator about your physical condition.

The application gives the result back to you as a figure but also graphically, where a green thumb up means ok, a yellow hand means still ok, a red hand means caution.

SensoSmoke 01

SensoSmoke 01
By: Evintia, S.L.

Developer's Notes:

SensoSmoke 01

Do you wish to stop smoking or reduce the number of cigarettes you light daily? Did you try in the past to quit smoking but could not manage to maintain your decision?

It’s a fact that more than 60% of people that have tried to quit smoking are smoking again before 6 months; it is obvious that something more than only knowing that smoking is unsuitable is required to keep you focused in your purpouse.

Discover with SensoSmoke how to apply the directed visualization and the NLP to eliminate your attraction against smoking. Applying in an intelligent way the strategies that your brain employs, to classify the sensory impulse, you will be able to defeat the temptation without the need to fight against it, simply dissolving it.

SensoSmoke has been developed by a team of psychologists and specialists in wellness so that you can apply it either in a systematic form as in punctual moments (at the moment of feeling the risk of lighting a cigarette, alone at home,….) in which you may need an extra aid not to reach a cigarette.

SensoSmoke 01 allows you to apply the attraction loss process, beginning with the image that suggest to you the act of lighting a cigarette.

You can use SensoSmoke in combination with any other program as an aid to reduce your attraction for tobacco or like a strategy to cut off the routine to smoke only because you feel a bit anxious or waiting for something or somebody.

With SensoSmoke you will be able to apply the combined strategies of visualization and change of submodalities proposed by the NLP, immediately selecting the image that represents for you, the habit of smoking, and reducing his attractiveness.

iPregnancy

iPregnancy
By: Gregory Moore

Developer's Notes:

iPregnancy is a wonderful application that will help you keep track of your pregnancy right along with your doctor! Once your due date is established and entered, the program will keep track of your current progress in pregnancy including your:

•Current gestational age in weeks and days (like doctors use)

•Current gestational age in lunar months

•Progress bar that will show you how far you have progressed

•Current Trimester

•Time remaining until your due date (in weeks and days)

•Time remaining until your next milestone (in weeks and days)

•Time mode selectable in either days or weeks/days


This program features a beautiful interface with background that changes depending on the selected gender of your baby and also includes the following key features:

•A 3-D ultrasound picture of the baby at each week!

•Baby Information including a brief summary of happenings with the baby at the current gestational age as well as information about the average length and weight of the baby.

•A baby name picker which allows you to keep a list of baby name contenders. This picker derives names from the Social Security Administration’s top 1000 names for last year. These are sortable alphabetically or by relative popularity. You also have the option of entering custom names.

All of this is available for the price of a Starbucks! And, since you aren’t drinking much Starbucks these days, you’ll have all kinds of spare change around for helpful programs just like this one!


This program was written by a practicing Ob/Gyn physician!

rFeet

rFeet
By: Owen Liao

Developer's Notes:

One in three older adults falls each year in the United States. Every 18 seconds, an older adult is treated in an emergency department for a fall, and every 35 minutes someone in this population dies as a result of their injuries caused by a fall. The average direct expense was over US$10,000 per case in 2003.

For fall prevention, C.D.C. recommends Tai Chi as a regular exercise to increase strength and improve balance. A 2004 N.I.H. study showed that with just 6 months of Tai Chi training, falling incidents of older adults was reduced by 67%.

rFeet, just like rShoulders, is the second Tai Chi style self healing therapy created by Master Owen Liao. It takes only one minute to perform. You will be able to walk better and improve your balance right after performing it nine times. The chance of fall will be greatly reduced. This way, you will continue enjoy your quality life.

rFeet is a unique Mind-Body Tai Chi self healing exercise and designed for:
1)    Older people to walk better and prevent falls
2)    Anyone with walking difficulty or poor walking gait
3)     Everyone interesting in improving his or her walking style

Exercise rFeet regularly offers many healing benefits:
1) Walking better by feeling more control of your entire foot
2) Improved balance with more freedom in your movement
3) Better confidence and feeling more grounded

It is all right to perform rFeet with your cane or even have someone physically support you during your practice, when it becomes necessary. The proper assistance will enable you to focus more on the walking technique, free from worry about keeping your balance.

If you like rFeet, you’ll also like rShoulders, rArms, rSpine, rHips and rKnees.
