40 Hz Strobe Lights 

Yes you can. In fact, it may complement other therapeutic techniques to improve brain health and cognitive function. However, it is wise to consult with your healthcare provider before getting started with your 40 Hz strobe light. They may be able to advise on the best way to incorporate that into your treatment plan for an optimal outcome.

Light therapy has its roots in the work of Danish physician Niels Ryberg Finsen in the early 20th century. Knowledge, methods, and technology have evolved greatly since then, with ongoing research and advancements discovering numerous applications for various types of light therapy.

There are a number of considerations that relate to this. Using a 40 Hz strobe light will have different effects depending on the length of the therapy sessions, the intensity of the device, and the severity of the condition. Not everyone will have the same experience, but EVY LIGHT® is a leading product on the market and on par with many devices used in clinical settings.

40 Hz light stimulation is a therapeutic approach that involves exposing individuals to light flickering at a frequency of 40 hertz (Hz), where the light pulsates on and off 40 times per second. This technique is primarily explored for its potential benefits in treating Alzheimer’s disease.

The key aspects of 40 Hz light stimulation include:

Gamma Rhythms Restoration: The therapy aims to stimulate the brain and restore gamma rhythms, which are important for cognitive functions and are often disrupted in Alzheimer’s patients.

Reduction in Alzheimer’s Pathology: Studies have shown that 40 Hz stimulation can reduce the levels of amyloid and tau proteins in the brain, which are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s pathology.

Improvement in Cognitive Functions: Preliminary studies indicate that this therapy can improve cognition and preserve synapses in Alzheimer’s patients.

Non-Invasive Nature: As a non-invasive therapy, it delivers sensory stimulation through light and sound, offering a safer alternative to more invasive treatments.

Potential for Widespread Application: Ongoing research and clinical trials are exploring the broader applicability and effectiveness of this therapy in treating Alzheimer’s disease.

Just like time can be measured in seconds, Hertz (or Hz) is the unit used to measure frequency. Frequency is the measure of how often an event occurs in time. Hertz describes how many times an event happens within 1 second. For example, 5 Hertz means that within 1 second 5 events happened.

In particular, the frequency measured in Hertz, defines how many times a wave oscillates per second.
EVY LIGHT ® operates at 40 Hz, which means that the light turns on/off 40 times per second. This flicker is almost invisible thanks to OptoCeutics ISF technology and is still able to activate the cells of the brain.

EVY LIGHT® differs from other 40 Hz light devices due to its unique blend of technology, design, and user experience, making it a cutting-edge choice in the field of brain health and wellness.

Here’s how:

ISF-Patented Technology: Unlike many other 40 Hz devices, EVY LIGHT® employs proprietary Invisible Spectral Flicker (ISF) technology, which alternates between two types of white colors so close in tone that when they flicker, you can barely see it, providing a smoother, more tolerable experience with brain stimulation.

Developed by Experts: The device is not just a product of engineering; it’s crafted by scientists and engineers who are directly involved in ongoing clinical trials. This involvement ensures that the product is constantly aligned with the latest scientific findings.

Advanced Tracking Features: EVY LIGHT® offers comprehensive usage and eye tracking. This isn’t just about usage; it’s about ensuring the effectiveness of entrainment or stimulation, a feature not commonly found in other devices.

Data Visualizations: The accompanying app provides detailed visualizations of historical performance and engagement, empowering users to monitor their progress and adjust their usage accordingly

Future-Ready Software: With a promise of more software features, EVY LIGHT positions itself as a device that evolves with time, offering continual improvements and updates.

Personalized Onboarding and Support: The inclusion of a dedicated client advocate for onboarding and ongoing support adds a personal touch, enhancing the user experience beyond the product itself.

Consistent Updates and Communication: Users stay informed and engaged through regular communications, including news, product, and feature updates.

Medical Device Standard Quality: The construction of EVY LIGHT with the highest quality materials to meet medical device standards ensures reliability and safety.

Modern Design: The contemporary design and finishes of EVY LIGHT make it not only a functional device but also a visually appealing addition to any setting.

The light is emitted from an array of LEDs. Each LED has a different color or dominant wavelength and their intensity is electronically regulated to produce the light as seen by the observer.

The light from the LED chip is combined together in the reflective light chamber and comes out of the diffusion screen as a warm white light.

The brightness of EVY LIGHT® does not exceed 400 lux at a 20 inches distance.

The luminous flux is between 100 lumen and 220 lumen. Comparative to a 15 watt incandescent light bulb.

Remember- the light intensity can be adjusted

The light emitted does not contain any UV-light nor Infrared light.

To date, OptoCeutics has completed two clinical trials in Alzheimer’s patients (ALZLIGHT pilot and ALZLIGHT Sll).

Our current research shows that our clinical trial device can entrain gamma activity in the brain, with no serious adverse event, and suggests a slowing of brain atrophy and functional and cognitive decline.

We are currently conducting the third stage of our clinical trials ALZLIGHT Slll) to conduct an extensive validation of the technology in collaboration with researchers from top universities and hospitals from both EU and US. At the moment, we are running two Clinical Trials ALZLIGHT SIII and FELIX. The above research is ongoing, and the product used for research is for investigational use only.

Gamma waves are like a special kind of rhythm in your brain that helps different parts talk to each other. These waves are super fast, and they play a big role in how we think, remember things, and pay attention. Scientists are still trying to figure out exactly how these gamma waves work and why they’re so important for microglia, which are like the brain’s tiny guardians.

Gamma waves help different parts of your brain work together. It’s like when a band plays in sync; all the instruments come together to make a great song. This teamwork might help the microglia know where to go and what to do.

Microglia are like the cleanup crew of the brain. When there’s a lot of activity, like during gamma wave times, they get busy. They help clean up waste and protect the brain, kind of like how you might clean your room after a busy day.

If gamma waves get too wild or don’t work right, it could cause problems in the brain, like inflammation. Microglia jumps into action to try and fix these issues.

Microglia also helps reshape the brain, especially when we’re learning new things. Gamma waves might guide them in this work, like a construction buildplan that tells workers how to build a house.
