I HAD intended to buy the Proteus/Thoughtstream together, but now I think I should get the new Procyon (and the PreSage GSR biofeedback device when it's released).
My intention with the Proteus was to use it to help me learn Photoreading (I've seen instructions for use of the Proteus for just that) as well as all the other brainwave entrainment benefits. Will the Procyon be just as good for that?
Are there any drawbacks to buying the Procyon instead of the Proteus? I understand that you can't run the Procyon on AC power--it will only run on 3 x AA batteries or when connected with USB to the computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
2 things are on my mind respecting ease of use:
1. Are users of the new Procyon having trouble getting the SynchroMuse to work? I want to be able to play audio (spoken word on CD) synchronised with the lights to accelerate learning of audio, spoken-word information (such as learning long passages from the Bible) without it being difficult to set up or use.
2. Will the PreSage GSR biofeedback device easily interface with the Procyon without having to go to any trouble (like the Proteus/Throughstream combo requiring a lot of hassle with computer programming, which I know I won't be attempting). i.e., Will I be able to just connect the PreSage to the Procyon and have the biofeedback work together with the Procyon without having to go and get an IT degree?
I guess the main thing I want to know is that the Procyon will be the better machine to buy, seeing as it will replace the Proteus. ~~thanks~~I value any and all input from everyone!
