General questions
How can I be sure the device is working?
Bellabee was designed to be completely non-intrusive so there is no light, sound, or vibration when it is in use. There are two ways to check if it is working. First, check the mobile device screen once you’ve activated the program. If the time is counting down, then it is working. You can also connect a headphone while the app is running. If it produces a clicking sound, the
device is working.
How should I place the Bellabee device on my head?
The Bellabee headband is worn with the electromagnetic pulse generator resting against the back of the head, just above the neck, against the cerebellum. The cerebellum fine-tunes the actions of other parts of the brain via nerve pathways (neural networks), guiding the brainwaves to the correct frequency for the desired brain state.
How long does it take for people to feel effects and are these changes long lasting?
This varies from person to person and the disorder under consideration. Sometimes the effects can be felt right after the first session, but for other people it may take up to 20 sessions to notice any effect. With regular use, the brain gradually adapts to the correct state (using neuroplasticity) and requires less input from Bellabee.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Bellabee does NOT emit any sounds, lights, or easily detectable vibrations. It uses undetectable magnetic pulses.
One way to check if the app is working is to test it with headphones. Plug in your headphones, and start the application and you will hear magnetic impulses converted to sound. Plug in your Bellabee instead, and the pulses will become silent, converted instead in your therapeutic session.
While using your Bellabee with your phone or other device — you cannot talk on the phone or use any apps that generate sound.
At Bellabee, we’ve taken CAREFUL NOTE of some of the initial concerns of our customers. Most QUESTIONS RELATED to an initial uncertainty of whether the device was on and operating properly, since it produces no sound or light when operational.
WORKING PRINCIPLES
The lack of sound and light is by design, so you can do whatever you like while using it - listen to music on a different device, meditate, sleep. To make sure that the device is working, you can PAY ATTENTION to the timer, which is counting down time underneath the circle that says “stop.” As long as the timer is counting down, it is a further indication that it is OPERATING CORRECTLY.
USING BELLABEE
You can use your smartphone or tablet while you are using Bellabee. The application should work in the background, no matter what you are doing on your phone or tablet, even when your screen goes to "sleep." The only exceptions are active calls and applications that use audio channel.
BENEFITS
Bellabee is NOT AN ON/OFF DEVICE, like a light switch, a gadget for which you immediately spot the difference, as soon as you turn it on. You, YOUR MIND AND BODY NEED TO ACCEPT it first, grow accustomed to it, after which point Bellabee will do its job whenever you need it, and WORK EVERY TIME.
How quickly your body takes to adjust to Bellabee depends on you. Some users spot the changes the first time they turn it on. Others require more time, perhaps 3-10 sessions. This is normal. As you know, many medicines require some time before they begin to work, and it is really a question of how quickly you allow your mind to accept the “SUGGESTED” RHYTHMS PRODUCED BY BELLABEE.
In our testing, once Bellabee begins to work for a new user, it works every time, within minutes, in all settings. So you may need to be a bit patient at the start, but it will be WELL WORTH IT.
