Mental Freshness and Peaceful Days in Later Life

A sound- and light-based relaxation program – at home, in comfort

Stressz tréning AVS használatával, stresszcsökkentés felnőtteknek

A few minutes of calm and refreshment each day – whether for yourself or for an older loved one.

Audio-visual stimulation (AVS) works with rhythmic light and sound stimuli. It has long been known from EEG research that the brain’s electrical activity can follow a rhythmic light stimulus[3]. Agytréner programs are relaxation and wellbeing programs built on this phenomenon.

  • I’d like every day to include a calm, quiet quarter of an hour.
  • It would be nice if the time we spend together were filled with a pleasant, shared routine.
  • I’d like you to feel fresher and more balanced in everyday life…
  • …and to look forward with joy to the rest of the day.

What can audio-visual stimulation (AVS) offer in later life?

  • Relaxation and tension relief: During longer light-sound stimulation sessions, studies have observed physical relaxation, reduced muscle tension, and physiological signs of a restful state.[1][2]
  • Evening wind-down: The gradually slowing evening programs support winding down and resting before bedtime – this has also been studied with older adults.[5]
  • Mental freshness: One of the main areas researchers have studied AVS in is situations that require attention and mental performance.[2][6]
  • Gentle, non-invasive method: According to an independent systematic review, light-sound stimulation can be applied safely and non-invasively to achieve favorable, calm mental states.[4]

The Agytréner program works with audio-visual stimulation (AVE) technology: light sources built into the glasses and the headphones deliver rhythmic light and sound pulses. It is a known phenomenon that the brain’s electrical activity can follow such rhythmic stimulation (so-called photic and auditory driving)[3] – building on this, the programs offer relaxing, refreshing, and evening variants.

  • A simple daily routine: A session is typically 20–30 minutes long and can be done comfortably, either sitting or lying down.
  • A shared experience: A family member can easily help set up the device, so the program can even become a shared daily ritual.
  • A choice of programs: Relaxing, refreshing, concentration-supporting, and evening programs – tailored to the time of day and the moment’s needs.

For many, later life brings more free time – but often less mental challenge, slower days, and more hours spent alone. A regular, calm daily routine can do a great deal for wellbeing, and can give family members meaningful time to spend together.
Would you like yourself or an older loved one to experience calmer, fresher days?

Since 1934

it has been known in EEG research that brain rhythms can follow flickering light[3]

Imagine your day beginning or ending with a calm, pleasant ritual: a quiet quarter of an hour devoted purely to rest and refreshment – even shared with a loved one.
Take the first step toward calmer, fresher everyday life!

Discover how the Agytréner program works!

The key to the Agytréner program is its personalized approach. As a first step, a personal assessment helps us learn about your goals, your daily habits, and what kind of programs you need at different times of day – whether that means relaxation, winding down in the evening, or a boost of freshness during the day.
Based on the assessment, we put together an individual program plan and also help you choose the right Agytréner device. With the device, you can carry out the program flexibly, from the comfort of your own home. The assessment is not a medical examination and does not replace a medical diagnosis.

Set aside a few minutes each day for calm! Take the first step toward a more balanced, fresher everyday life!

Agytréner Devices – Programs and Options

Among the Agytréner devices, we recommend the DAVID Delight Plus and DAVID Delight Pro models. Both devices use audio-visual entrainment (AVE) technology; the DAVID Delight Pro also features CES (cranio-electro stimulation), which delivers a gentle, supplementary microcurrent stimulus through ear-clip electrodes.

  • Energize – An invigorating program for a fresher start to the day.
  • Meditate – Deep relaxation and inner calm.
  • Sharpen – A program for before activities that require mental focus.
  • Sleep – A gradually slowing evening program to help you wind down before bed.
  • Mood Boost – A cheerful, uplifting program for wellbeing.
Green – Relax
Turquoise – Calm
Blue – Relaxation
Yellow – Concentration
Red – Activity
Magenta – Creativity

Choosing a Device – Which Model Is Right for You?

  • DAVID Delight Plus: A versatile model offering a variety of relaxing, refreshing, and evening programs.
  • DAVID Delight Pro: The flagship model, which includes a supplementary CES (cranio-electro stimulation) function alongside the AVE programs.
  • Multicolor LED Glasses
    Both white LED and multicolor LED glasses are available for the devices. With the colored glasses, the color scheme of each program can also be customized.

“I received a professionally credible assessment, a very thorough evaluation, consultation, and follow-up! …and they didn’t charge any “extra fee”! Fair, highly knowledgeable professionals.”

Zoltán Nagy, local tour guide

“I sleep so much more easily, and my performance has improved tremendously… Thank you!”

Benedek Mihály, engineer

Using the device has been an incredibly positive experience for me. It’s amazing how much calmer I’ve become, and how I’ve been able to hold my own in more stressful situations. […]

Catherine Garceau, Olympic medalist swimmer

In short, I would simply say that with the help of Agytréner I was able to achieve everything I wanted in my life.
