Proteus Mind Machine Session Structure
 

Proteus sessions consists of a series of segments.  A segment includes a variety of parameters which are defined for the start and the end of the segment.  For example, a segment may be defined as being 30 seconds long, and with the pulse rate starting at 10.0Hz and finishing at 20.0Hz.  The pulse rate will then automatically increment in a linear fashion over the course of those 30 seconds.

For example, a typical case would be where the pulse rate "ramps" up from one frequency to another, levels off for the course of the next segment, then hops to a third frequency.  Other parameters that may undergo such a smooth "ramp" include:

• Light brightness (two independent color ramps)
• Audio pitch
• Binaural beat frequency (always set to the same frequency as the LFP)

A variety of additional parameters can change which sound is playing, liteframe sync, whether or not sound is being modulated, and whether or not the lights and sound are running a "soft on" or "soft off" sequence.
