This is the God Helmet setup for Shiva Neural Stimulation. It uses four USB sound devices (included with the system - creating eight independent stereo channels). Magnetic fields cycle between four coils on one or both sides of your head. These fields change strength every few milliseconds, so they are also magnetic signals. Another way to see it is that Shiva conveys information to the brain using a magnetic carrier.
The God Helmet is a journalist's nickname for the first example of this technology, the "Koren Helmet", developed by Stan Koren and Michael A. Persinger of Laurentian University. The name comes from the fact that a small percentage (less than two percent) of Persinger's subjects had meetings with God during Koren Helmet sessions. This is far too small a percentage to justify the name, but the phenomena is too striking for it to have gotten any other, especially from the media. Shiva feeds information into the brain using a fluctuating magnetic field, and the field moves in two ways. One of them is quite fast, and the other is very slow. The fast motion is the rotation of the fields, cycling between four coils over the temporal lobes. The exact place where the field is applied changes constantly. This makes it hard for the brain to tune out the signal or get used to it. It also shifts the 'response area' from one place to another. As one area responds, the surrounding ones become quieter. The slower changes in the signals make these two-phase sessions, lasting 40 or 60 minutes overall. Each phase is 20 or 30 minutes. The first phase will use one signal over one area, and the second phase will apply another signal over another area. The first phase will build up activity slowly in one area, and the second phase will recruit this activation, shunting it into another. The result can be a response from the brain that ordinarily would be hard to achieve. By directing the information to different brain parts on each side of the brain, a broad control over the effects is possible, but the exact effects will vary from one individual to another. One signal gets positive responses from one side of the brain, and another signal gets positive effects from the other side of the brain. This is the most powerful mind technology in the Shakti family of Neural Technologies, and there are possible side-effects for each session design. These are very uncommon, but are still described in the software on the pages for each, along with ways to stop them if they arise.

After the first try (I used one of the God Helmet sessions) I was a little uncomfortable, but I also felt much happier and I felt a kind of flow (energy flow?) inside my body. This continued for a few days before it's intensity started to fade. The next time I tried, I didn't have the uncomfortable feeling, but one of happiness and I would say a different look at things and the world. * Over the next months I used several other sessions and found that their effects differed from one another. Some of them were more effective for me than others. The best feeling it gave me so far is the flow of happiness I mentioned before. It makes me more energetic, and I even started enjoying some tasks at work I had once hated. I also found that it improved communication with other people and made it also more enjoyable and productive. I've only gone through 20-30% of the sessions so far and I'm very exited about the many more positive surprises I'll get from the system." (Using a session technically called 'Modulated 40 hertz 'chirp signal over both sides followed by amygdala over the left') * I have the Shiva God Helmet and have used it about 6 times now. I was interested in it for the right hippocampus stimulation and left amygdala stimulation. I have been been 'vibrating' while awake. Having more visions and 'seeing' peoples auras. My ... (friend)... has used it and has now seen someone's aura. People are starting to tell him very private things after only meeting him for a few minutes. ... (I'm) still 'playing' with it. I'm keeping a journal of my experiences. So far I'm happy I got it." *    "I was using (...) a " god helmet" to see if it would boost my OBE experience, it did. I experienced total knowledge and connection to everything. I experienced a level of joy that cannot be explained with words. I was a globe of white light among an infinite number of other white lights. I floated as close as possible to get near the great light, it was massive, pervading everything except the space we were in." * (source) "... this morning I did a God Helmet session. This was a pretty intense experience. Think binaural beats or perhaps CES at a delta or theta state, but much stronger. Very pleasant overall experience with lots of very strong and colorful hypnagogic flashes. There was a peacefulness about it. The experience felt very warm and very safe. It's hard to describe. Now I am no stranger to altered states, so my perception of pleasant might be another's "weird" or "just too intense". I can see why people report a presence or in some cases a sense of God. I would describe that element of the experience more like the feeling one has on psychedelics, that feeling of oneness or interconnection. I would describe it that way." * (source) "I seem to get good visuals with the chirp signal on the right hemisphere. Using the first half of the original Koren helmet session, the chirp signal does not elicit 'negative' emotions in me, but rather strong imagery (for my standards) and intuitions. The amygdala signal on the left side elicits a strong feeling of well-being, affection and 'connectedness'." * Myself and a handful of others have been using this device, called a "God Helmet", for several months now and the subjective reporting tends to cluster and lines up with what you would expect. ... Stimulate the hippocampus and you'll get into a more "wordless" space that feels much like a deep meditation for me. Stimulate the amygdala and you'll get an improved feeling of well being. I'm not a brain scientist or a researcher, just exploring on my own, but based on what i've read, the effects fall in line with expectations. The device was developed by Dr Persinger and has been used in a number of published experiments in peer reviewed journals. ... So far my experience has been very positive and surprising in some respects. ... *(source) NOTE: The "Sensed Presence" experience, common with this technology in Dr. M.A. Persinger's lab, is quite rare with the Shiva System in it's God Helmet configuration. It may have to do with the very rigorous laboratory conditions for the so-called "God Helmet Experiments", compared to the way people use it at home.

The God Helmet uses four USB-Powered Sound Devices (Included), and does not require any external power supply. The (16 coil) Shiva system includes: 1) Software and hardware for God Helmet sessions. 2) The original Shiva for Windows software and Hardware (for Psychic Skills). 3) The 8 Coil Shakti software, including the Feelgood session. 4) All sessions for the 2 and 4 coil Shakti systems. 5) The magnetic signals used for the (now discontinued) old Shakti Helmet. Note: The old Shakti Helmet was not a version of the God Helmet NOTE: The Shiva software contains instructions for stripping down your Shiva unit to an 8 Coil Shakti unit. The Shiva system can be configured to do anything that any of the systems can do. Shiva uses four USB-powered Sound Devices (included with the system) for a total of eight audio channels. It does not require any external power supply. Note: The God Helmet system, shown here, is an eight-channel system. It uses four USB sound devices (Included with the System). The 8 Coil Shakti System is a two-channel system that uses one sound device.       Shiva is not guaranteed to run on Mac computers running 'Bootcamp'.
