BSDR Player

BSDR Player (Bilateral Sounds Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an application that generates bilateral beeps. It is based on bilateral stimulation (a way of stimulating the brain one side at a time) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). These techniques can produce a direct effect on the way the brain processes or re-processes past emotional experiences. You can use this application to aid in the treatment of traumas, process upsetting situations, disturbing thoughts, improve future performance, or simply feel better. Studies done with patients undergoing EMDR while in CAT scans have shown physiological changes in the brain that lead to adaptive changes in thinking and emotional self-regulation.
"A study comparing the effectiveness of Prozac vs. EMDR showed that EMDR was more successful than Prozac in achieving substantial and sustained reductions in anxiety and depression."

There seems to be nothing bilateral about it unless my understanding of it is wrong. With headphones in I expected to hear the tone only in the side that the light flashes on. I don't get anything from this app

I'm glad it had a refund option because the beep was agitating to me. It didn't go low enough and was still too high even at it's lowest. Too bad their aren't options for the sound of the time being used.

Very handy app. As accredited EMDR consultant, this is the form of BLS I recommend to any (many) clients with whom I work online. It is also the EMDR app I recommend to my supervisees.

Plays in both ears at the same time. Tried with multiple headphones.

I had been looking for a bilateral audio device and found them to cost approximately $110 (which also includes the tactile simulators). This audio (only) app allows one to make the same adjustments to the frequency, volume etc...for $10. And it has a timer!

Nothing fancy but it does what it's supposed to.

This app does everything you need to do EMDR successfully. It works great on my galaxy and the interface is beautiful and clean.

Simple. Easy. Effective. I wonder if it is compatible with theratapper or other buzzers for tactile stimulation?
