Any news about the PreSage?
After I purchased my Procyon I have been holding out on buying a biofeedback device since the perfect companion to it would of course be the PreSage. Now I have been using the Procyon to improve certain aspects about me, but I believe I would benefit immensely from using a biofeedback device in conjunction with my Procyon. So after waiting for so long I have started to consider purchasing a biofeedback device now and trade the convenience of a system designed to interact with the Procyon with manually patching the biofeedback through the Procyon, but with the benefit of starting to gain from biofeedback now. Though since I have already waited for so long and since I do actually still want the PreSage, I thought I might ask about how the progress is going. I know you can not give me anything that is sure, but I am hoping to at least get some unofficial estimations or a status report on the progress. So any news about the PreSage? Thanks.
Re: Any news about the PreSage?
Wish that I could say the PreSage is ready to ship, but I think we're still a ways away from that.
Honestly, though, I'm not sure that other than the "coolness" of it, I'm not sure that connecting a biofeedback machine to an AVS is of any theraputic advantage. I think the 2 products do 2 different things and are trying to achieve different goals.
I could be wrong, but I just haven't heard about many customers connecting the two on a regular basis. Lots of people like to try it, but I wonder how many find it that useful after they have tried it...

Re: Any news about the PreSage?
I just got my Procyon for Christmas, and I love it much more than my Proteus. However, I will say that I also am anxiously waiting for the Presage, or any kind of biofeedback to use with the Procyon, because I almost always used my Proteus with the Thoughtstream and found it to be immensely beneficial and quite effective at enhancing the whole experience.
When is the Presage going to be ready?
I'd really like to know? I bought the Procyon instead of the Proteus, on the strength of the 'imminent' release of the Presage; otherwise I could have gone for the Proteus/thoughtstream option. I would also like to have more details of the Presage, rather than the oft repeated press release. I'd like to use it whilst doing chi kung standing meditation; therefore I would like an extra long cable/wireless link? How about some sort of yin yang animated visual? Just dreaming.
Best regards,

From what little I've heard, the Presage is still a way off, but it will be well worth the wait.
I have a Procyon, a Proteus and a Thoughtstream, and I haven't actually found biofeedback driven entrainment to be all that interesting, however running the Thoughtstream alongside the Procyon or Proteus, so that you can hear the changing pitch as you relax, works very well.
You can plug the audio output of the Thoughtstream into the audio input of the Procyon and hear both through the headphones.
The Thoughtstream is so inexpensive, simple and reliable that I suspect it will always be the feedback device of choice for me.
Cheers,
Craig

OK, Thanks Craig, that info was useful. If the Presage is so far aways, maybe I will follow your example. I like the idea of going further with feedback in my chi kung.;)
