The DAVID Delight Plus is a 28-session Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) device from Mind Alive — a clinically researched technology that uses precisely timed pulses of light and sound to guide your brain into delta, theta, alpha, beta, or gamma states on demand. What sets the Plus apart is its 3 dedicated gamma sessions: SMR/Gamma cycling, randomized 38–42 Hz, and a fixed 40 Hz protocol linked in research to increased beneficial cytokine production and dramatic reduction of amyloid deposits in Alzheimer’s model studies. Beyond gamma, you get 25 more sessions spanning Energize, Meditate, Brain Booster, Sleep, and Feeling Better — a complete non-pharmaceutical toolkit for mental performance and emotional well-being. AVE also stimulates natural production of serotonin, norepinephrine, and endorphins, and has been backed by clinical research in insomnia, SAD, cognitive decline, and stress reduction. 1-year manufacturer warranty + our 101-day satisfaction guarantee. Starting at $395.

AVE uses precisely timed pulses of light (via Tru-Vu Omniscreen glasses) and sound (via stereo headphones) to guide your brainwaves toward a target frequency. The brain naturally follows repetitive sensory stimulation — the “frequency following response” — shifting you from beta (alert, stressed) toward alpha (relaxed focus), theta (deep meditation), delta (deep sleep), or gamma (peak cognitive performance) on demand.

Select a session, put on the glasses and headphones, and let the device do the work — sessions typically run 20–45 minutes. The Delight Plus uses proprietary randomization that varies stimulation within each session, enhancing brainwave tracking and producing a more natural, dissociative experience than fixed-frequency devices.

Gamma (40 Hz) is the brain’s master clock frequency, associated with sensory binding and high cognitive function. The three gamma protocols range from cycling SMR/gamma states to a fixed 40 Hz protocol modeled on research showing increased beneficial cytokine production.

AVE is generally well-tolerated by healthy adults. Important precautions:

  • Do NOT use if you have a history of seizures, epilepsy, or photosensitive conditions — flashing light stimulation can trigger seizures in susceptible individuals.
  • Do not use while operating vehicles or machinery.
  • Not recommended during pregnancy.
  • Consult your physician before use if you have a pacemaker, are taking psychoactive medications, or have any neurological or cardiovascular condition.
  • For wellness and relaxation purposes only. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Full product details

The DAVID Delight Plus is the most popular model in the Delight family: 28 built-in sessions, five in every category, plus three gamma sessions the base Delight does not have. No app, no subscription, nothing to program.

Made by Mind Alive Inc. in Edmonton, Canada, the Plus is designed for people who want real choice in their routine. Different depths, different lengths, different approaches to the same goal, so the session that fits a rough Tuesday is there when you need it.

Designed to support
  • Stress regulation and a calmer baseline over weeks of regular use
  • Easier sleep onset and staying asleep
  • Focus, attention, and mental clarity
  • Mood support and emotional balance
  • Energy in the morning without caffeine
28 built-in sessions
Category Sessions Best for
Energize 5 Morning alertness, a caffeine-free lift
Meditate 5 Relaxation, deep meditative states
Brain Booster 5 Focus, attention, mental clarity

Gamma 3 SMR/Gamma cycling, randomized gamma, fixed 40 Hz
About the gamma sessions

Gamma activity around 40 Hz is associated with higher-level processing and sharp attention. The Plus includes three ways to work with it: a session that cycles between 40 Hz and the calming SMR range (12 to 15 Hz), a randomized session that varies around 38 to 42 Hz, and a fixed 40 Hz session. Gamma stimulation is an active area of research; we describe it as a focus tool, not a treatment.

How it works

Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) delivers gentle pulses of light through the eyeset and matching tones through the headphones. The brain tends to fall into step with a steady rhythm, a response called frequency following, which researchers can observe on EEG within a few minutes. Each session is built around a target range: faster rhythms for alertness, slower rhythms for relaxation and sleep. Sessions end with a gradual soft-off fade so you are not startled.

AVE has been studied for more than 30 years. Published work includes shorter sleep onset in older adults using evening sessions, improved seasonal mood scores with morning sessions, attention gains in students, and mood and balance improvements in seniors. Mind Alive's own pilot studies are small (6 to 8 participants) and are described as such on their research pages. We share this so you can weigh the evidence for yourself.

Technology
  • Tru-Vu Omniscreen eyeset. Eight blue-tinted white LEDs behind a translucent screen spread light evenly across both eyes and can drive each side at a different rate.
  • Randomized stimulation. Small variations within each session help the brain follow the rhythm without habituating to it.
  • Night-Vue buttons. Raised, illuminated controls you can find in the dark without opening your eyes.
  • Soft-off fade. Light and sound dim gradually at the end of every session.
  • Portable power. Runs on the included 9-volt battery or the AC adapter.
Choose your eyeset
  • Standard (white) eyeset, eyes closed. Soft white light seen through closed eyelids as shifting patterns. A clean, neutral choice for calm, focus, and sleep.
  • Multi-Color eyeset, eyes closed. Adds color to each session: blue for calm and sleep, green for meditation, yellow for focus, red for energy.

Understanding the Technology

What is the DAVID Delight?

The DAVID Delight uses Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) — gentle pulses of light and sound delivered through an eyeset and headphones — to guide your brain into specific, beneficial states. No drugs, no needles, no side effects.

By exposing the brain to rhythmic light and sound at precise frequencies, AVE encourages large neural networks to synchronise — shifting you from stressed to calm, foggy to focused, or wired to ready for sleep, simply by choosing a session.

  • Stress & anxiety relief
  • Deeper, faster sleep
  • Improved focus & memory
  • Elevated mood
  • Seasonal mood support
  • Enhanced meditation
  • Mental sharpness
  • Drug-free & non-invasive
40Hz gamma frequency — the brain's master clock for focus & cognitive clarity
~20 min average session length for measurable mood and relaxation benefits
25+ pre-set sessions across sleep, focus, mood, energy & meditation
0 drugs, prescriptions, or recovery time required

The Science Behind It

How the DAVID Delight Works

A session takes just 20 minutes — the device delivers precisely timed pulses of light and sound through three simple phases, each guiding your brain toward a calmer, sharper, or more restful state.

DAVID Delight device in use with eyeset and headphones
1
Prepare — Set Up & Choose a Session
2 min

Put on the Tru-Vu Omniscreen eyeset and headphones, sit or lie down comfortably, and select the session that matches your goal — Energize, Meditate, Brain Booster, Sleep, or Feeling Better.

2
Entrain — Guide Your Brainwaves
AVE · ~20 min

Rhythmic pulses of light and sound at precise frequencies trigger your brain's natural frequency-following response — gently synchronising neural activity into beta, alpha, theta, delta, or gamma states.

3
Restore — Feel the Shift
Immediate

As your session ends with a gradual Soft Off, cerebral blood flow increases and beneficial neurotransmitters — serotonin, endorphins, norepinephrine — are stimulated. Most users notice a clear shift in mood, clarity, or calm within the first session.

Questions

How is the Delight Plus different from the basic Delight?

The Plus adds more sessions (28 vs. fewer) plus the three advanced gamma (40 Hz) protocols, which the basic Delight doesn't include.

What is AVE?

Audio-Visual Entrainment uses pulses of light and sound to guide your brainwaves toward a target frequency — from gamma for focus down to delta for sleep.

What's special about 40 Hz gamma?

40 Hz is the brain's master clock frequency. Early research has linked it to focus, beneficial cytokine production, and cognitive health.

How long is a session?

Sessions vary in length — most are 20–40 minutes — designed to fit different goals from quick energy boosts to deep meditation.
