We think that this unit is unique in the EMDR world because it does not require a PC and generates tactile stimulation whenever sound is detected in the left or right audio channels. The sound frequency that it responds to can be adjusted and the intensity of the tactile burst depends on the volume of the sound (eg a beep).
Key features are:
Can be used with any stereo sound source (eg any EMDR Program or CD that can generate a beep sound)
Bilateral audio CD provided
Duration of the tactile burst depends on the duration of the beep
Intensity of the tactile burst depends on the volume of the sound source
The frequency that it responds to can be adjusted (depending on the sound card used and a variety of other factors such as the width of the block of tones and the volume)
You don't need an audio splitter plug because one is built into the unit (if using this feature you should ideally connect a multi media speaker set that has volume control
Works with a 9 volt PP3 battery (not provided)
On/off switch and light
Rubber feet to prevent movement on smooth surfaces
Includes cables (6 ft from the unit to the tappers), (2 feet from the PC or CD player to the controller unit)
Controller unit with audio cable and battery = 180 grams
Tappers with cable = 100 grams
Guarantee - we guarantee that the unit is functional
Battery lifetime - unsure but throughout the development we used one old battery and did not significantly deplete the battery
Works with any EMDR Software that can produce a long enough beep
Limitations:
There is a USB connector but this has been disabled (there's not enough power from most USB ports)
The original intention was to use the 19,200 hZ as an inaudible "control" frequency but it seems that may PCs and audio players delete inaudible sound frequencies. We have therefore made the unit respond to pretty much all frequencies, there is some remaining ability to adjust the frequency range that the unit responds to.
This unit cost £80 to construct in terms of parts and materials alone. It is one of a kind and is not something that we will construct again because of the large number of components and time required to construct.
