Synchrony training helps the brain to return to a non-biased and flexible state, relaxed and yet ready to move in any direction as may be required. In this zero bias state, people report feelings of oneness and intimacy, a reduction of stress symptoms and an increase in peak performance skills. The value of off training, or asynchrony training, is to promote brain wave flexibility. By alternately training whole head synchrony and asynchrony, the brain learns to shift easily into both synchrony and asynchrony, avoiding any rigidity.
