Septal
Signal
The septum has been called the brain's 'pleasure center'. It's a part of the
limbic system, where it operates in tandem with the amygdala. When one of these is active, the other tends to be
quiet. The septum is heavily connected to the hippocampus, a structure which is intergrown with the amygdala.
The centers of orgasm (four for women and one for men) are found in the septum.
It has been associated with different kinds of pleasant sensations, mainly those related to sexual experiences.
The septum's role in quieting the amygdala explains how sexual desire can overwhelm our emotional awareness. The
septum's one 'orgasm center' in men, and four in women, suggests that there may be important differences in this
signal's effects for men and women.
One study found that when patients were implanted with septal electrodes, they
self stimulated themselves only when they were feeling bad. When they were feeling good, the implants had little
effect.
The temporal lobes, the parietal lobes, and the frontal lobes are all good
candidates for this signal.
The septum's close association with the hippocampus is seen in both their anatomical
connections and their EEG signatures. Both the septum and the hippocampus produce theta band output in their normal
functioning. Shakti's hippocampal signal is almost always more pleasant over the right side, so if you are going
to use this septal signal over one side only, the right is the best candidate.
Another place that lends itself to this signal well is over the tops of both
parietal lobes, where the somatosensory (sensation) representation of the genitals is located. The eight-coil Shakti
unit is a powerful unit. It's suggested that you use it "symmetrically", meaning that you place the coils
so that you are treating both sides of your head equally. If you choose to use it over only one side, you should
use two of the coils to test each signal over each side, one side at a time, before you use the alternating signals
over only one side. Make sure that you are not 'reversed' or 'left handed' with respect to any of the brain structures
that the signals apply to. If unpleasant effects are going to occur, they will be milder than they would be using
the 8-coil headset with alternating signals.
The experiments shown in television documentaries applied the signals to both
sides equally. If you are looking to induce spiritual experiences "as seen on TV", then you should also
know that they were done in sensory deprivation. This means silence and darkness. Complete silence, and total darkness.
When beginning to use any signal, it's a good idea to begin with shorter sessions.
When you're planning to use a signal over only one side, it's good to try it over each side to see which side feels
best with that signal for you.
This signal alternates between the left and right stereo channels twice each
second. This is faster than in previous versions of this software, but it has been established as an effective
rate in laboratory studies using this technology.

This is a new signal. It has not been tested with human or animal subjects. If
you are not comfortable using untested signals, do not use this one.
