Mind machine devices are legally available throughout the United States from many sources

In the late nineties I came across light and sound technology and even my company sold a simple L/S interface for PC and Atari, which has been used in research projects on ETH in Zurich.

What I was missing all the time was the synchronization of soundtrack and the lights. First experiment to achieve this synchronicity was an adaptation of a 4 track tape player, but the results were not satisfactory enough. After the release of my second CD ‘Living Structures’, implementing fractal structures and Hemi-Sync, I realized that this medium is perfect for hiding extra information for controlling the lights. I called the system AudioStrobe and applied for patent and trademark registration in 1992. Also in this year was released first AudioStrobe CD ‘Fractal Dance’, accomplished together with several other artists and singers, which announced a change in Tamas Lab’s music. Besides the fractal and algorithmic patterns there were ‘classically’ composed and arranged titles. Next CDs ‘Light From the Ancient Dreams’ and ‘Doubling Scenario’ continued this trend and ‘Children of the Universe’ was already completed.

I came back to algorithmic composition for a new project called ‘Polar Lights’. These and my other CDs as well as productions of third parties were already AudioStrobe encoded. Today AudioStrobe is an industry standard for encoding CDs and the AS decoder is implemented in many L/S machines.

With some exceptions,^[20] these devices commonly do not have FDA approval for medical applications in the USA. They have been found by a U.S. district court to be Class III medical devices, and consequentially require FDA pre-market approval for all medical uses. One company making medical claims for a possibly unsafe device has been shut down and seen their devices destroyed.^[12]
