David Delight is an audio-visual entrainment (AVE) technology that alters your brain waves with pulsing lights and binaural beats. AVE is a therapeutic technique that combines audio stimulation and visual stimulation to help individuals achieve specific brainwave patterns. The process encourages brainwave synchronization, which can lead to various cognitive benefits such as improved mental clarity, relaxation, and enhanced mood. People seek audio-visual entrainment for numerous reasons, including stress reduction, cognitive enhancement, and improved performance in everyday tasks.

Speech-language pathologist Erin Badour is well known for her innovative treatments that can dramatically improve your quality of life and mental clarity.

How David Delight Works

David Delight is an advanced non-invasive brain training system designed to optimize cognitive functions, reduce stress, (1) and promote relaxation. During the treatment, an eye set delivers binaural beats and flashing lights that affect alpha brain waves. (1) The brain responds to light and sound patterns that stimulate its natural rhythms and help it reduce brain wave patterns that contribute to feelings of stress and anxiety.

David Delight can help both adults and children, and it has been proven to help children reduce stress and anxiety before dental procedures. (2) David Delight is also customizable, and Erin can adjust the settings to help you address several concerns. If you are navigating a busy or stressful life, David Delight can help you improve your well-being.

What is Neurofeedback?

Erin can assess your current brain wave function before your treatment using neurofeedback– a type of biofeedback specifically focused on training brain waves using electroencephalography (EEG). Erin can place sensors on your scalp to measure brain wave patterns so she can understand how your brain processes events. Depending on your results, she may recommend additional neurofeedback training therapies as part of your treatment plan. Studies indicate that neurofeedback training can help with several conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, and depression. (2)

Erin has helped many people increase their energy, improve their ability to relax and optimize their mental clarity with neurofeedback treatments.

Using David Delight

During a David Delight session, you will need to wear the eye set for a specific amount of time. Erin can let you know how often you will need sessions and how long to wear the eye set during each session. She will also adjust the settings to target the specific issues you are struggling with. With the correct settings, you will complete a series of training sessions each week to optimize your brain function.

You will need to make time each week to focus on your treatment without interruption. During the treatment, you will see a series of flashing lights that optimize your brain function and redirect your brain waves toward a healthier pattern.
