Caution
Do not use Attractor when operating machinery, driving or any situation that requires you to be aware of your surroundings as it can make you drowsy.
Note
Attractor is best used with a headset. You can also use a sound dock with stereo speakers.
The app is fully compatible with iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4 as well as iPad and iPod Touch 2nd generation. First generation iPod Touch users cannot record inception messages but can upload them through the file server.
MAIN INTERFACE
While awake we are constantly bombarded with external stimulus which our brain, through our senses such as eyes and ears, translates this information into an electrical charge called a cortical evoked response. Binaural beats are our brain’s response and results from generating two audio pulses in opposite ears. Attractor generates a pure tone of 150Hz in one ear while simultaneously and dynamically generating variable tone higher than 150Hz in the other ear. The two tones generate waves in and out of phase in the two brain hemispheres and is perceived as an auditory beat which entrains the internal frequency of our brain to the externally changing frequency. Our brain goes through what is called a frequency-following response. With Attractor you can influence and manage with precision the cortical rhythm of your consciousness, whether you are awake or sleeping.
Entrainment modes
Each Entrainment mode uses a different pattern of frequency variation. The ‘Start’ scroller represents the current aggregate frequency pattern of your brain. By consulting the chart above set your Start frequency to the frequency that best represents your current state of mind. For example if you’re wide awake, without being too sleepy or agitated, set this frequency to 20Hz. The ‘Target’ scroller represents the brainwave pattern frequency you’d like to reach. Depending on which entrainment mode you select, Attractor will entrain your mind from Start to Target frequency, maintain you at the target frequency, then bring you back to the Start frequency over the length of time set by the time scroller.
Meditation
The meditation mode will entrain your mind from Start to Target frequency in the first 20% of the selected time, maintain you at the target frequency for 80%, then bring you back to the Start frequency over the remaining 20% length of time set by the time scroller. Because in this mode you are slowing down your brainwave pattern the target frequency cannot be set higher than the Start frequency.
Maintain
In maintain mode the system lets you adjust in real time the frequency you would like to hear. In this mode the system will not vary the frequency to Target, it will stay steady throughout the length of time set by the time scroller.
Awake
The Awake mode will maintain you at the start frequency for the first 80% of the selected time, then entrain your mind to Target frequency for the last 20%. Because in this mode you are speeding up your brainwave pattern the target frequency cannot be set lower than the Start frequency. Use this mode in the morning or whenever you feel the need to wake up.
Sleep
The Sleep mode will entrain your mind from Start to Target frequency in the first 20% of the selected time, then maintain you at the target frequency for the remainder 80% of the time. Because in this mode you are slowing down your brainwave pattern the target frequency cannot be set higher than the Start frequency. Use this mode at night to help you fall asleep.
Inception
In inception view, you can record a statement or message that the system will play back in a loop over the length of the session with exception of Meditation mode in which you will only hear it when you have reached the target frequency.
Record with positive affirmation the subject of your dream or the beliefs you would like to be implanted in your subconsciousness.
Location
The Location view contains audio location tracks used in a loop as ambient sounds of the location or environment in which you like to dream about or just be in because it is soothing and relaxing.
Strobe
The Strobe view is available and functions any time you are in session and is in sync with the dynamic changing frequencies. It is an option and not necessary but it can help you through the entrainment process if you have difficulty. Strobes produces flashlights and are meant to be used with your eyes closed in a dark area. Do not use if you have any form of epilepsy or have had seizures relating to flashing lights.
Saving and Loading States
Attractor lets you save an unlimited number of system settings under a name of your choosing to help you quickly load system states used for different purposes. The system comes preloaded with presets which you can extend to your own preferences.
Audio Mixer
The audio mixer makes the volume of each of the 3 audio layers adjustable even while you are in session.
File Server
You can turn on the file server while you are connected to a wifi network and manage your audio files by downloading and uploading your audio files or making backups.

ATTRACTOR HELP & TUTORIAL
HOW IT WORKS
The brain consists of many billions of cells, these cells are called neurons and they use electricity to communicate with each other creating a brainwave which can be measured with Electroencephalography machines. We as humans have different brainwave patterns throughout our 24 hour daily cycle depending on what our state of mind is. For example the brainwave pattern of a person sleeping is very different than the brainwave pattern of someone driving a car.
