The ‘Why’?
FLFE’s goals were twofold:
- To collaborate with the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS, https://noetic.org)
- To provide independent, scientific evidence of the effects of FLFE and explore how heart rate variability (HRV) and brain waves respond to the FLFE environment.
The ‘Who’?
The IONS staff recruited 13 adult volunteers to participate in the study. Participants were recruited through IONS website and Craigslist. Inclusion criteria:
- 18+ years old
- Able to commute
- Not pregnant
- Generally healthy
- Not on any medication (e.g. psychotropic)
- No metallic implants (e.g. pacemaker, prosthesis)
- Have never had any abnormal heart rhythms or epileptic episodes.
The ‘How’?
Upon arrival at the IONS EarthRise Campus, participants completed baseline measures including physiological recordings during various conditions and a battery of cognitive tasks. Following these initial assessments, the FLFE high-consciousness environment with the EMF Mitigation and the Brain Optimization was activated for participants for 30 minutes while listening to a neutral podcast and remaining connected to physiological equipment. Immediately after the intervention, participants repeated the same physiological and cognitive measures, with all data subsequently analyzed to determine differences before and after exposure to the intervention.
The ‘When’?
Data collection occurred in November 2019.
The ‘Where’?
Data collection occurred at the IONS EarthRise Campus.
Abstract: Thirteen participants were recruited by the IONS team to participate in the study activities. Participants came to the IONS EarthRise Campus. They completed baseline measures, then had 30 minutes of FLFE, then repeated the measures.
