Audiovisual  stimulation
for  sleep  and  sex

The principle of AVS is based on stimulation of the central nervous system (CNS) with specific visual and sound signals of different frequencies. These signals affect the brain in different ways, depending on the sounds coming from a loudspeaker or headphones, and the light signals and video images displayed on a screen or through special glasses.

 

The effects of AVS on humans have been investigated in many scientific reviews and studies. Electroencephalogram (EEG) studies have shown changes in brain waves in response to visual and acoustic cues. Many other studies prove efficacy in insomnia, but one of the problems for AVS research is the lack of standardized terms, making it difficult to systematically review and consolidate the scientific literature.

 

When falling asleep and dreaming with AVS, specially selected sound and light frequencies affect both hearing and vision, promoting relaxation, rapid falling asleep and sound sleep. It is hypothesized that AVS affects brain activity when falling asleep and when dreaming.

 

The development of AVS has been aided by advances in EEG devices, which have been made possible for use not only in hospital and laboratory settings, but also in the home, eliminating uncomfortable masks with lubricated electrodes.

 

Many people (up to half of all adults and children) constantly or occasionally use a simplified version of AVS when falling asleep - listening to quiet meditative music to relax and reduce psycho-emotional tone, trying to calm their thoughts and breathing.

 

In the last decade, many startups in the field of sleep have been founded in which AVS is the instrument of influence: smart sleep masks with AVS, mobile applications that select the optimal AVS, special home devices with AVS. Devices and applications of these startups are used by tens of millions of people, their number is constantly growing, which is explained by their simplicity, cheapness and harmlessness of use.

 

The human brain is closely linked to sensory relationships. Visual and auditory stimuli, acting on certain areas of the brain, trigger physiological reactions associated with arousal. Music can create a mood, videos can engage a story, and photographs can stimulate the imagination.

 

Musical rhythm and melody can synchronize breathing and heart rate, increasing arousal. Videos can be romantic or overtly sexual, allowing you to create the right atmosphere and visualize fantasies. Photos and images can be used for visual stimulation during intercourse.

 

AVS in sex (AVSS) has many positive effects:

 

- Obtaining desire - having sex with pleasant music or watching erotic videos can help achieve the right level of arousal.

- Harmonizing the relationship - sensual pleasures are more pleasurable for partners when the rhythm is the same and climaxes at the same time.

- Increased pleasure - the right stimuli can increase sexual pleasure.

- Variety of sensuality - AVS means allow you to experiment and discover new facets of sexuality of partners.

 

AVSS has found wide application in Sex Tech devices - creation of personalized audiovisual environment, augmented reality, visualization of fantasies - is used by many startups, and the sector itself is growing at a fantastic speed.
