Name

muuz - Light-Sound program that guide brainwave to given patterns

Synopsis

muuz

Description

muuz is a computer video and sound board version of the kinds of dedicated mind-machine devices that are made up of small discrete boxes containing a dedicated controller along with (usually) eye-glass frames studded with LED's and a pair of earphones.

Ease-of-use differentiates muuz from its smaller, discrete- or dedicated- computer mind-machines. Additionally, since the rectangle screen of the program contains 3-D boxes, frames,, pop-down widgets,' and more, muuz is easier to understand. Use is fairly intuitive, and if the user has questions, a click or two can bring information up at once.

Absolutely no health claims are made for muuz. This program was inspired by the many books and articles that have demonstrated the use of light and sound to assist in relaxation, sleep, learning, as a tool to teach meditative techniques, and so forth. But the main use of this program may be simply fun, so whether you use this program as a game or for other reasons, enjoy!

Sometime in the future we plan to add the capability for talented people who want to to add their own programs. The talent required is the detailed understanding of what patterns of binaural beats and flashes produce what neurophysiological affects.

This man page is a starting point. Other documentation is in the file ``TOUR'' for X Window System programmers or other who want a technical overview of muuz. The HTML documentation is currently at ``http://www.magnesium.net/~kline/pm/projectmuuz.html''

For now, start exploring by typing simply ``muuz'' at the command-line prompt.
