Important Notes for Getting Started

We congratulate you on your purchase of the OmniBrain brain wave entrain­ment system.

Together with the Omnium1, OmniBrain will create stimulation of the brain
waves by using visual and acoustic signals. In doing so, rhythmic visual and

acoustic signals will be generated in specically programmed sequences th­rough LED goggles and headphones. In principle, our brains uctuate between

four different ranges of brain waves, each with its own characteristic set of fre­quencies (alpha, beta, delta and theta waves). The four frequency patterns de­termine if we are in the state of extreme concentration or in phases of stress,
relaxation, dreaming or deep sleep. The brain has the property of adjusting

itself to externally applied uctuations. By generating a specic uctuation

pattern, stimulation of the phases of being awake, relaxation, deep sleep and
dreaming can be achieved with the OmniBrain system. The OmniBrain can be
used independently as well as together with an iMRS one application.

This operating manual is a component of the scope of delivery. It should be
kept close to hand and remain with the system when sold.

1.1 Control unit

The OmniBrain will only function in connection with the Omnium1 control unit.
The Omnium1 control device is included in the scope of delivery for all iMRS

one sets available. You will nd the operating instructions for the Omnium1 in

the special manual that accompanies the control device.

2. Contraindications and
Accompanying Symptoms

Do not use when the person is subject to:

• Photosensitivity

• Epilepsy

In some people, an epileptic crisis or attack of fainting may be triggered by
the continuous effect of rhythmic visual and acoustic signals. This phenome­non may also arise without a prior diagnosis of epilepsy or treatment for this
condition. The risk of triggering latent cases of epilepsy exists in particular in
children younger than the age of 14. The OmniBrain should not be used in
these cases.

3. Installation

Take the individual parts out of the packaging.

1. Connect the 20-pin plug from the LED goggles with the 20-pin jack of the

Omnium1 control device (or when using a magnetic resonance stimula­tion system simultaneously, with the 20-pin jack of the D/A converter).

2. Make sure that battery for your Omnium1 has been suciently charged.
The application will not be possible if the battery charge state drops below

5%. In that case, connect the power supply with the Omnium1 (see the

Omnium1 operating manual).

3. Check the system time selected (in the upper right corner of the display)

and set it to the current time, if necessary (see the Omnium1 operating

manual). The built-in organ clock will adjust automatically to this system

clock during an application.

4. Activation

After you have completely installed the system and checked the battery char­ge state, activate the OmniBrain app by tapping the program icon (1) on the
Omnium1 desktop (2).

Afterwards, the OmniBrain initial screen will display the legal proscribed con­traindications. As soon as it has been acknowledged (by tapping ENTER), you
will see the user interface for the OmniBrain application.

5. Starting an Application

The integrated organ clock will automatically adjust to the time set on your
Omnium1.
You can see the organ clock setting on the display in the upper right corner (4).
However, if you want to change it manually, tap on the organ clock icon (8) and

choose the desired organ clock setting (morning, afternoon, evening or night).

The application can be started by tapping the Start/Stop button (3).

Please note: the eyes must be kept closed during an OmniBrain applica­tion.

Organ Clock morning:

Beta Waves: they range from approx. 12 - 30 HZ. These frequencies activate
the body and the mind. The faster (higher) frequencies within this spectrum

are responsible for cognitive functions such as concentration and memory.
The balance of Beta activates in case of reduced ability to be stimulated as well
calming in case of mental hyper activity.

Organ Clock noon:

Alpha Waves: they range in the spectrum from approx. 8 - 12 HZ. This brain
wave form is responsible for being in a relaxed state without losing focus. This
is important in order to “wind down”, reduce stress and pain. It also reduces
circulating cortisol levels. The OmniBrain-Alpha-range should be used after a

lunch break to activate the parasympathetic system (regeneration, relaxation)

and to give your brain a “little break”.

Organ Clock evening:

Theta Waves: frequency spectrum from approx. 4 - 7 HZ. These waves are

connected with total relaxation and improvement of senses and creative
forces. Theta wave activation is ideal for relaxation after an exhausting work­day. It calms brain activity without getting sleepy. Theta status is a creative
status in which thoughts become clearer and are characterized by emotions.

Organ Clock night:

Delta Waves: frequencies up to 4 HZ. These frequencies are responsible for

deep sleep and at the same time increase the stability of individual sleep
cycles. When the brain is in Delta state the consciousness is very receptive.

For this reason Delta frequency is optimal to activate cell regeneration for the

entire organism.

6. Color Settings

Activate the LED goggles by swiping the Goggles switch to the ON (1) setting.

You can dene the desired color and brightness using the individual sliders on

the left side (2). The color chosen by you will be displayed beneath the slider

(9). OmniBrain has respectively twelve color LEDs on each side of the goggles

(four red, four green and 4 blue LEDs).

Visualizing the color can generate either a sedative or stimulating effect in the
brain. OmniBrain can generate all of the colors in the RGB spectrum through
the setting options in the software interface. The following wellness effects
can be achieved by using the correct selection of color shades.

Red Shades:

Contribute, vitality, decisiveness and energy. Red shades strengthen the joy
of life, feelings of self-worth and promote assertiveness and the power to go
after and overcome hindrances.
Spiritual development, vitality, bravery and power
CAUTION: People with an overstimulated symapthetic nervous system do not
tolerate RED SHADES very well.

10

Green Shades:

Refresh and generate optimism and strengthen the general feeling of well­being. They promote inner calm and relaxation. Green is the color of the ligh­tening of the heart and of harmonic growth. Green releases creative energy.
Green stands for exchange, reconciliation, comfort and compassion.
Self-assertiveness, serenity, endurance and growth
Green shades are generally well tolerated by all people, without uncomforta­ble initial reactions.

Blue Shades:

Are the color of loyalty and surrender, or inner connectedness and emotional
security. Blue shades strengthen the life forces. They are considered to be
soothing and harmonizing. Blue symbolizes growth, persistence and justice. It
promotes the balance of energy, communication and understanding of others.
Sympathy, broad thinking and assertiveness
Blue shades are also generally well tolerated by all people, without uncomfor­table initial reactions.

7. Music Settings

Activate the playback of music by swiping the Music switch to the ON (5) set-

ting. For the music to be played, a micro-SD card (optional) must be available

in the Omnium1.

IMPORTANT: First, create a folder on the card named IMRS. Then, store your

desired music les in that folder. They will then be displayed in the le window

(7) of the OmniBrain user interface and played in sequence. You can also select

individual music les directly by tapping on the le name.

An additional feature is the ability to activate sound sequences whose vibra­tions will be synchronized with the LED frequencies. Thereby, they amplify the

effect of the brain wave stimulation. To do this, swipe the Sound switch to set
it to the ON (6) setting.

8. Settings

Tapping on the „ Settings“ button will open a sub-menu with menu items.
Tap the desired button to open a sub-menu item.

8.1 About

From this sub-menu, you will see the software version of the OmniBrain app
as well as the serial number for the Omnium1.

9. Updating

Whenever your Omnium1 is connected to the internet (via WIFI), your iMRS
one App automatically veries, whether a new software version is available. In
this case a notication appears on your screen. Please klick on „YES“ followed

by clicking on „Install“. The System will automatically update the App to the
newest version.
