About Me

Hi! My name is Dr. Ruth Olmstead--not to be confused with Dr. Ruth, the sex therapist. Although, many of my clients, patients, and purchasers of my Mind Machines have reported positive results in this area of their lives. (My technology does, after all, produce mood-enhancing effects!)

Allow me to explain a bit more about what I do:
I am a pioneer in the research and application of Audio-Visual Stimulation (AVS) systems (commonly known as "Mind Machines"). My groundbreaking work in this field is widely published and considered among the most important works detailing the beneficial effects of Mind Machines on children and adults. (Details of my research can be found on my website: www.AVS-Devices.com Note: we are currently undergoing a complete revamp of my main website--thanks to Internet Marketing Wiz, Greg Johnson--and will be RElaunching it soon; meanwhile, there is still plenty of information available, and you can purchase my products there).
Science is just beginning to understand how light and sound stimulus--again, known as audio and visual stimulation (AVS)--can affect the brain. AVS is a method of brain stimulation and brainwave training that has evolved from the study and use of biofeedback: a brainwave-training procedure that can assist in altering bioelectrical and physiological responses, and induce a desired state of mind.
There are many "mind machines" available on the Internet--most are offered by individuals who know nothing about the product they're selling. I, on the other hand, am a psychologist (Ph.D)...I developed this software and have been using it in a clinical setting for 16 years.
On my website , you will find two premium models of Audio Visual Stimulation systems available for sale. Both of these models contain programs written and researched by me.

The SST Device: A Mind-Enhancing Machine that Results in Improved Cognitive Abilities and Peak Performance
Of the two machines I offer, the most powerful is the Synaptic Stimulus Trainer (SST) machine. This light/sound device uses the latest technology to provide stimuli through the use of headphones and specially-designed glasses, inset with white, full spectrum, light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These lights flash at predetermined frequencies and are coupled with binaural tones that are heard through the headphones. The programs included with the SST have been used in many clinical settings, and have been designed to address the symptoms of various disorders including stress, anxiety, depression, and learning disabilities (LD).

My Interests

Art and Design (my undergard degree is in painting) / Gourmet Cooking (though I have not quite reached the gourmet stage yet) / Travel (my italian is barely understandable, and I can now speak German with the proficiency of a 4-year-old) / and I've just GOT to have a great "read" going at all times.

I'd like to meet:


Research Evaluating the Effects of the SST Mind Machine have Demonstrated:
* Increased Attention-Span and Concentration
* Increased Long- and Short-Term Memory
* Enhanced Self-Esteem
* Reduction of Anxiety and Depression
* Major Increases in Creativity and Ideas
* Decreases in Hyperactivity and Behavioral Problems
* Improved Test Performance and Academic Abilities
* Reduction of Medication Intake
* Increase in Right-Left Visual-Spatial Integration
* Aids Decision Making and Holistic Problem Solving
* Reduction of Insomnia and Sleep Disorders
* Improved Motivation

If these are areas in your life where you would like to make some improvements, my SST Mind Machine could very well be the answer you are looking for!
More information to come as I add to my new MySpace page over the coming days and weeks.
