Alright so what we've got here is the Procyon AVS audio visual system or audio visual synthesizer system so for those of you who've seen my other mind place video about the casino this is fairly similar but I believe this one the Procyon is slightly cheaper. I might be wrong I'll check I'll confirm the prices when I put links in the description and everything like that now this is the Procyon AVS and the box here says what it's going to be doing so two even different states of consciousness tranquility alternate states of awareness and this sort of thing so and for those of you who are brand new to mind machines by the way this is actually a pretty good one to start with this one all the casino will work really well essentially what they are is like a device which enables you to listen to binaural beats on the one hand and also have visual stimuli coming through something like these and they've engineered it so that the binaural beats or the audio stimulation the brainwave entrainment will actually sync up to the visual stimuli stimulation that you're getting from the frames and what that does is that produces like an immersive effect which gives you an altered state of consciousness much more effective than just listening to binaural beats on their own and by these two working in synergy together you get a really intense sort of different effect on your brainwave state and on your your state of consciousness essentially so this is the procyon all right so this is the frames and as you can let me just show you here so as you can see the frames themselves are they look like normal sunglasses but what's happened is they've been blacked out and so these little led stimuluses stimuli here have been glued on and these enable you to sync up to your device which i'll show you in a minute and sync up to the sounds you're hearing as well and then the sort of the brain in here that i'm going to show you in a second connects to this and talks to it and gets it to synchronize with what you're hearing through the headphones all right so there's a nice little carrying case here for traveling and then this this is the brain that i was telling you about this is the procyon brain straight off the back we've got the play function i assume skip tracks and something i'm going to find out exactly what these buttons do and what they all mean we've got the mini usb not micro headphone aux cable on and off button volume for the headphones and then brightness for the glasses that's really important because the glasses i find i could only start with like the lowest brightness possible when i started using the casino and then you've got this little clip here which enables you to uh so i seem like stand it up like this so you can stand it and it okay so it's taking three double a batteries three double a batteries what i do with this sort of stuff is for my drones and stuff that i fly i have rechargeable a a battery so you know doing something like this uh you just put the rechargeables in there when they run out you charge them like up again nice and simple but from my experience with the casino the batteries lasted a very long time so it should be fine so they've given us with the procyon this is a track list lots of different presets to choose from you can i believe upload your own although that might be a feature that's only available with the casino or the more expensive mind machines i'll have to check and the looks of it there's lots of different sessions here with quite long lengths so you're getting quite a lot of value straight off the bat with this this is like a there's a lot of meditation sessions and for those of you who have never used a mind machine before so the sessions okay these tracks are essentially like synchronized pieces of media that play not only through the headphones okay but also they synchronize up with the frames so when you listen to a mind machine it's actually not just a soundtrack it's actually a really intelligent piece of media that's synchronized between the frames which plays like colored led lights in your eyes at certain frequencies certain different lengths of time and then you've got the the headphones which play by neural beats in synchronization with the frames and the lights so it's quite a complicated piece of media to grasp especially if you've never used a mind machine before but we're going to get on to how it works and uh if you're if you're like me and you have um your own headphones that you'd prefer that you'd prefer to use that's absolutely fine they give you a set here uh which are just you know they're just basic stereo headphones uh nothing incredibly special about the headphones themselves they just give you them in case you didn't have a pair of stereo headphones i would probably use my own i've got noise cancelling ones which are more immersive but this is still great value for like for the price of this thing okay this is really good value in terms of like the things you actually get with it and what you can do you've got the headphone wire for the headphones of course and then the instruction manual just sort of telling you a bit more about how it all works with diagrams and things like that and it tells you like which tracks you should listen to for different effects so you've got like ones for creativity ones for like hallucination and all this sort of stuff like that tranquility meditation energy recharging accelerated learning like it's all in there and it's all explained also in the track list here this is the cable to i assume to connect it to a computer so you can like program it decide what tracks you want to include and if you want to modify them or anything like that so what i'm going to do is i'm going to get this turned on i'm going to learn how it works and how to use it and then we're going to cut to me using and showing you guys what it can do you immediately feel the effect of drops your state immediately and you start to deeply relax right so first impressions of that are really good i've used a casino i think it would be even better with my own headphones which i'm going to test later on but that is incredible like the effects that you get from that in terms of because so i've used loads of meditation tracks i've done all sorts of meditation i've used like bineural beats isochronic tones relaxation ambient sounds a lot i've never experienced meditation or like brainwave entrainment like i have when i've used the mind machine i was as impressed when i used the casino this feels like a smaller version of the casino so for those of you who have seen my video about that the casino i'll link in the description to that as well which is a great alternative by the same company by the way by mind place this feels like i feel like i could actually take this traveling or you know like when i go out and about obviously not obviously not supposed to use this while you're walking around but what i mean is i could take this traveling and when i get to the hotel room i feel like i would actually use this and wherever i'm staying the only thing the only thing i don't like is the fact that you can't see on the screen on the screen you can't see what track you are listening to you just have to go by the numbers which means you also need to carry this card around with you unless you have this on your phone what i would suggest doing is just taking a picture of both sides of this on your phone so that when you take this around with you you know what track does what um so as you can see okay so as you can see here as you can see here it doesn't tell you which track you're listening to you have to go by this card um but if you just take a picture of this we all have our phones with us all the time don't we so just taking a picture of this it tells you the category like learning concentration performance tranquility whatever energy rejuvenation night voyage that is what i would suggest to use for dreaming and lucid dreaming purposes and then mind art i have no idea what mind art is i assume that's like a trippy hallucinogenic type thing and that's that's really it guys this is this is the main session list as you can see this is the main pros and session list so in terms of like tips for using this i have got a few and i'm going to be making lots more videos with this mind machine to show you how to use it and like some basic tips and tricks firstly i believe you can program it using the micro usb that is a big plus secondly this stand is quite a useful addition because it means that you don't have to like leave it on the floor and you can just instantly like look up and see what is playing the menu is quite difficult to navigate compared to the casino but once you've got your head around it it's going to be easy thirdly um what i would say and this is a big one you'll notice here that you've got the brightness controls for the glasses really i would start on the as as low as you can possibly get this but still having let me let me show you what i mean i want to see if you guys can hear this and what you'll notice here is that this is playing okay the track is playing the glasses are flashing now these flashing lights are not intended to go straight into your eyes you need to close your eyes before you put the glasses on especially if you're sensitive to bright lights or flashing lights this this has the only effect this has is if you close your eyes if you open your eyes it's not going to do much the idea is it's going to go through your eyelids and create like a pulsing frequency that's really important guys close your eyes before you put the glasses on make sure the brightness here make sure the brightness here is set as low as you possibly can because it's going to blast you otherwise um same with the volume turn the volume all the way down and then build it up as you learn how to use it the only thing that is getting a bit fiddly is obviously there's loads of wires because you've got the wires from the headphones and the wires from the glasses gets a bit fiddly but to be honest you're going to be sitting down when you're using this it doesn't matter if it's fiddly there are instructions explaining how to program your own sounds and your own interactions between the lights of the glasses and the headphones so that's quite useful it does confirm that you need to have your eyes closed to use the gantt frames that is pretty much my review of the prosci on so far this is my first look and the unboxing i'm going to be making a video in about i'm going to be making a video in about a week or so uh just explaining like a bit more about it about how it works and like what you can expect how like some tips and tricks for example like the biggest one i could say right now is turn the brightness all the way down put a towel over your head when you're doing it and it creates a much more immersive not only does the towel actually block out some of the ambient sound out because like a soundproofing blanket it will also block out the light and that's really important you need to have like an immersive experience with this thing i found it's even better as well if you lay down uh so just lay down flat on a comfortable bed or something and it's really going to have like that immersive transformative experience and like i have to say this really does work like in terms of brainwave entrainment there's nothing like this there's nothing like a mind machine if you're completely new to mind machines and you've just watched this video and you don't even know what this is or you know you weren't looking for a review of this i even advise you to check out the prosci on either this or the casino mind machine links will be in the description i believe you can get a discount if you go through my links which is quite cool and there is also a link in the description to a blog post i wrote about the casino and the prosci on as well so there'll be like more detail and context there and like some more tips and tricks and things like that but for the most part yeah i would just suggest just go and try this out click on the links uh have a look maybe read some of my blog articles about it re watch the video about the casino um and try and like make up your mind between them i would say if you're a beginner choose the prosci on because it's going to be you literally just take it out of the box put the batteries in and press play whereas with the casino there's more functionality there's more like options and things you can change and all this sort of stuff really i would just suggest give it a try let me know what you think if you've used the mind machine before leave a comment letting me know what you think of it for me like mind machines there's no other there's no better option in terms of like brain wave entrainment and experiencing altered states of consciousness this is really cool so leave a like leave a comment in the description in the comments section even and i'll see you next time
