The multiple demands of modern life, with its ever-quickening pace, often leads to a "breaking point" known as "stress." Such a situation produces a series of neuro-metabolic changes which present themselves in a vast array of symptoms which range from the alteration of cardiac rhythm frequency (cardiac neurosis) to the psychophysical tension associated with a state of unmotivated anxiety.
Thus a state of chronic imbalance of all the physiological functions is created which in the long run can produce real organic diseases.
Genetic and hereditary predisposition have an influence in the selection of so-called "target organs".
Diseases which have their origin in mental disturbances are technically defined as "psychosomatic". Modern psychosomatic therapy aims at discovering these disturbances before a real pathological process in the organic chemistry takes place.
A more appropriate, "humane," and up-to-date approach to everyday stimuli is the radical solution and proposal of the Psycotron research with the "Synchro System."
The "Psycotron Synchro System" is the most advanced method for the treatment of chronic stress both for its induced therapeutic action, due to the special effect of the "Audio Energy Two Channels System" and for the possibility of real-time monitoring of the slightest psychological changes occurring in the patient under treatment. Through the digital monitoring display of the Arousal function, the therapist can evaluate the normalization of the stress syndrome.
The Arousal function of the Psycotron System is a synthesis parameter of the influence of mental activity on man's physiological functions. The increase of such activity is normally related to states of conflict, anxiety and psycho-emotive tension.
The "Audio Energy Two Channels System" has a specific activity on the electric potentials for the right and left hemisphere of the brain by facilitating the normalization and equilibrium in the organization and synchronization of the cerebral neurons.
In this way it is possible to create new neural connections which are usually inert at the present stage of human evolution, thus opening up the immense possibilities of this unlimited universe called brain.
A considerable expansion of consciousness and of awareness is produced, while on the physiological plane there is a reduction of oxygen and lactate in the blood.
Blood lactate is at the origin of anxiety, panic and anguish and is related to the production of stress hormones together with adrenaline and nora-adrenaline.
There is also a normalization of the electric endocellular potentials, an indispensable condition for avoiding degenerative illnesses such as tumors, and for maintaining good health and longevity.
The "Audio Energy Two Channels System" can also be used in the automatic mode until the Arousal activity of the patient becomes normal or, in the continuous mode, for 30 to 45 minutes.
The use of the continuous mode permits a total energetic regeneration to be induced in the patient without involving him in any active therapeutic process.
The system should be used cyclically with patients affected by chronic stress, by psychophysical overstrain or as a "therapeutic break" with athletes, managers, executives, employees, decision-makers and all those people with monotonous or demanding jobs, as well as with students to improve their learning capacity.
It is very useful, also, for preparing the patient for "active" therapy and control techniques in the treatment of addictions such as smoking, overeating and drug abuse.
The "Psycotron Synchro System" permits the monitoring of the cardiac rhythm, the alteration of which is normally associated with emotional states and stressful situations. It permits the therapist to listen to the scanning rhythm to verify normalization after treatment.
The "Psycotron Synchro System" is suitable for several different therapeutic possibilities. It is possible to administer therapeutic suggestions by microphone, by applying the Autogenic Training Techniques and verifying the effects through the physiological changes.
A threshold system programmed for each individual which activates a tape player is very useful for reinforcement. When the tape player is disactivated, an intermittent sound is produced and "Audio Energy Two Channels System" is activated automatically. This is useful with those patients who are particularly anxious and whose attempt to activate the tape player triggers a competitive mechanism.

What is the Psycotron Synchro System addiction Free Line?
The Psycotron Synchro System provides a complete system of analysis and therapy for the treatment of emotional stress, anxiety, neurotic phobias and for deconditioning from substance abuse. It is also an important tool for analyzing the mechanisms which alter normal physiological functions which is the root of illness. Furthermore, it is the latest development in this field, a single, non-invasive tool for re-establishing the energetic equilibrium of the patient. Laboratory tests have proven its effectiveness, showing profound changes, particularly at the level of electro-endocellular potentials and cerebral neurons, through their organization and synchronization.

How does it work?
Through a therapeutic system in real time. That is to say that the physiological changes produced in the patient can be verified moment by moment through the digital display of the appliance.

On which principle is it based?
On two fundamental principles: the Audio Energy Two Channels System and the Arousal and Heart Rate systems.

What is the Audio Energy Alpha Theta System?
Undifferentiated energy vectored by an audio system capable of repairing metabolic damage caused by stress, anxiety and overstrain.

What is undifferentiated energy?
Undifferentiated energy is elective energy which Psycotron Research has studied especially for the regeneration and synchronization of the cerebral neurons. It produces an increase of the Alpha-Theta activity which governs the psychosensorial rest and the homeostatic balance as well as a normalization of the neuro-vegetative functions through the re-equilibration of the glandular constellation. Another important role played by the Audio Energy Two Channels System which is rightly defined as being "passive psychoanalysis", is to produce in the patient by a process of free association, a condition of catharsis capable of freeing the patient from the grip of his subconscious and more evident traumas.
It also favors a "therapeutic sleep" with cerebral rhythms at a very low frequency ( 0.5 hertz per second) associated with a considerable slowing in the overall metabolism.

What is the Arousal System?
The Arousal function provides a synthesis parameter of the influence of mental activity on man's homeostatic changes. The increase of Arousal activity is usually related to states of conflict, anxiety and psycho-emotive tension which improperly triggers fight or flight mechanisms through the activation of the sympathetic system.

What is the Heart Rate System?
The Heart Rate System scans the cardiac rhythm, both acoustically and visually, on the digital display of the appliance.

What is the Heart Rate function for?
The acoustic and visual monitoring of the cardiac rhythm frequency is a very important factor in controlling the normalization of the cardiac frequency, either directly or indirectly, by the normalization of the mechanism which it has generated. The variations of the cardiac frequency are linked to the ongoing homeostatic activity, so that the rhythm tends to adapt itself to the various situations and changes caused by environmental and emotive factors.
Also the monitoring of the peripheral Heart Rate through the finger sensor is important for controlling the normalization of the peripheral circulatory function.
The changes in peripheral circulation (vasoconstriction) are linked to the ongoing homeostatic activity. Patients with situations marked by anxiety or stress are subject to constant increases in the peripheral vasoconstriction because frequently a vicious circle is established in which the fight or flight mechanisms are triggered, without motivation, through the activation of the sympathetic system. Furthermore, many slight physical problems are related to poor circulation.

What purpose is served by listening to the sound of the heartbeat?
First, it permits the therapist to check the correct scanning of the rhythm and to pinpoint, eventually, any premature beats (extrasystolies). Furthermore, it is often reassuring to the patient to hear his own cardiac rhythm. This gives him a sense of security, trust and self-esteem.

What techniques should be suggested to the patients?
It is preferable to give no suggestions since one learns by trial and error. When one attempt has no effect, the patient tries another line of approach. It is a biological law.

What results should be obtained by these various approaches?
To learn to activate the tape player systematically.

What is the purpose of the Advisor function?
To advise the patient when he is outside the limits of the pre-established "Baseline".

What is the purpose of the Baseline System?
The Baseline system has several objectives. Since the patient has to learn a technique to control a physiological function, the "Baseline" system establishes a threshold point. If the physiological function concerned remains below the pre-established value, the tape player switches itself off and the patient is informed by the tone of the Advisor. By repeated attempts, the patient learns a voluntary control of many states of over-excitement. Through the systematic activation of the tape player, which is considerably gratifying and encouraging, the patient acquires a sense of ability which is transformed into a state of general well-being and self-esteem.

Is the intensity of the volume of Audio Energy and Advisor a determining factor in the total therapeutic effect?
No! The intensity of the volume and tone (Loudness and Sound) should be pleasant for the patient and agreed upon with him, as should be the level of the tone Advisor.

What is the purpose of the Range knob?
The "Basal Activity Arousal" varies from individual to individual and also from moment to moment, since it is linked to the real-time activation of the sympathetic system. The Range knob is used to "tune" the patient to the instrument. Therefore, it is advisable to start the treatment with the Range knob producing a digital measurement of between 40.0 and 60.0.

Can the instrument be used for Autogenic Training?
Certainly, in this case the equipment can guide the Autogenic Training. The therapist can, by using the microphone, administer "therapeutic suggestions", which are heard through the patient's earphones and can verify on the instrument's digital display the changes that may occur.

Can the instrument be used for hypnosis?
Certainly, in the same way as for Autogenic Training, with the difference that the patient's physiological changes in the hypnotic state are much more marked, especially on the Arousal function.

How long should a session last?
On average, 45 to 60 minutes.

What should the patient be told before the treatment?
They should be told that the treatment is absolutely harmless. The changes that are usually experienced are quite normal.

What type of changes can occur?
Generally, there is a profound sense of physical and mental floating which often produces a great sensation of happiness, mental freedom and wellbeing .

Is the instrument effective in treating psychosomatic disturbances?
Yes, judging by the therapeutic results obtained. There have been numerous proofs of this based on laboratory tests. The normalization of many physiological functions is noticeable after several treatments, together with the disappearance of many chronic malfunctions with consequential changes in the patient's organic chemistry. On the psychological level, the patient's creative capacity is increased with improvements in the professional career as a consequence. There is also an increase in the capacity to communicate, sociability and resistance to stress-producing factors. Also, many minor physical disturbances or defects disappear or become more easily treated. The instrument also allows for the study and advanced research of the immense resources inherent in man.

Should the patient be supine or seated during training?
When using the Audio Energy Two Channels System, it is preferable that the patient be supine. In the active treatments or in learning techniques, it is preferable that the patient be seated on a comfortable armchair with a straight back. It is also advisable that the patient keep belts loosened during treatment.

What type of surroundings are best during treatment?
Softly-lit, well-ventilated, peaceful surroundings with very simple furnishings.

How can one have more information on the instrument's possibilities?
Directly from Psycotron Professionals who are at your disposal for any type of information, and for short individual training on the use of the system for any specific need.

What are the principal applications?
They are innumerable. Some examples are listed below:

for Students: Fear of examination - Learning difficulties - Exhaustion.
