Information on how to order one on-line is at the bottom of the page. A gaussmeter is a device that lets you measure the strength of a magnetic field. You have to make sure that the signals coming from Shakti aren't too weak or too strong. ADJUSTING VOLUME (FIELD STRENGTH) When you use a "Dr. Gauss" gaussmeter to listen to the magnetic fields coming out of your headset, you should have a sounds like the ones on this page. BOTH sides have a brief (less than one second) signal followed by four (4) seconds of silence. The sound clips here include a silent section. When you are testing Shakti, you should hear 'squeals' from your "Dr. Gauss" gaussmeter like the sounds on this page.  DO NOT USE THESE THROUGH THE SHAKTI HEADSET. LISTEN TO THEM FOR COMPARISON TO THE SOUNDS MADE BY THE DR. GAUSS.       Sample gauss Meter reading the Amygdala Signal  Sound from a Dr. Gauss meter when the Amygdaloid signal is being played.     Sample gauss Meter reading the Hippocampus Signal  Sound from A Dr. Gauss meter when the Hippocampal signal is being played. There are only three Gauss Meters supported by the e-mail Shakti tech support.   "DR. Gauss", "Gauss Master", or "Mister Gauss"     Here are two links           http://www.e-sci.com/genSci/6/1027/1056/10285.html     http://www.lonestarspirits.org/store/sophistequip.html     These suppliers the best prices at the most recent price check.     http://www.lessemf.com/gauss.html     http://www.johnleemd.com/store/more_gauss.html   WHEN YOU ARE USING THE "Dr. GAUSS", YOU WANT THE HIGHEST READING TO READ IN THE RED (RIGHT) SIDE OF THE METER. (CLOSE TO 10 MILLIGAUSE) FOR MANY SIGNALS, IT ONLY STAYS THERE FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND. USE THE AMYGDALOID SIGNAL, ADJUSTING IT SO THAT YOUR COIL(S) PEAK AT 10mG. PRESS your Dr. Gauss lightly against one of the coils then press and release the thumbpad on the side. Do the sounds from your "Dr. Gauss" match the sounds on this page? If so, then You may be ready to go.
