Researchers founded that the rhythmic lights speeds up the brain waves that
develops the higher concentration levels. This project is implemented in such a way
that the lights (LED’s) glow according to the music. The rhythm following lights can
be achieved by this system.

Research shifted into high gear in the late 1940s when the great British
neuroscientist W. Gray Walter used an electronic strobe and advanced EEG3
equipment to investigate what he called the "flicker phenomenon." He found that
rhythmic flashing lights quickly altered brainwave activity, producing trancelike
states of profound relaxation and vivid mental imagery. He was also startled to find
that the flickering seemed to alter the brain-wave activity of the whole cortex
instead of just the areas associated with vision. Wrote Walter: "The rhythmic series
of flashes appear to be breaking down some of the physiologic barriers between
different regions of the brain. This means the stimulus of flicker received by the
visual projection area of the cortex was breaking bounds- -its ripples were
overflowing into other areas." The subjective experiences of those receiving the
flashes were even more intriguing: "Subjects reported lights like comets, ultra-
unearthly colors, mental colors, not deep visual ones.

The idea that one can attain heightened or meditative states of consciousness
by using a machine, and the sheer technical computerized hardware of the
devices themselves, must seem coldly materialistic.

And humans have always been keenly appreciative of the consciousness heightening
powers of music, which is of course, among other things, a succession of rhythmic
auditory signals. For thousands of years musicians and composers have consciously
and intentionally influenced the brain states of listeners by manipulating the
frequency of the rhythms and tones of their music. Humans have also long been
intrigued by the possibilities for influencing mental functioning that emerge from
combining both rhythmic light and rhythmic sound stimulation.

That’s why this project has been made, to reduce the stress in this present
scenario where every human being is tensed and busy with a bulk of works.

The aim of this project is to develop a rhythm
following flash led’s which blinks following the
rhythm of the music. The light which glows
according to the rhythm of the music is interesting
to watch. This system uses a microphone through
which, the audio input is picked up and amplified.
Then this amplified signal triggers the sequence of
LED’s through an intermediate circuit. Hence the
flashing of the LED’s is done when an audio input is
constantly changing its beat. So a Beautiful
scenario of the changing LED’s can be viewed with
the changing beat of the music. Further the
project can enhanced by using triacs and opto-
isolators to use high power lamps in place of LEDs.

In this Simple Music Rhythm Operated Dancing Light, mic. picks
up the sound signals & converts them into voltage signal. The
voltage developed is directly proportional to quantity of sound
falling on the mic. These voltage signals are further fed into
High Pass RC Filter R1 OR High Pass Filter & C1 for eliminating
the noise from the sound. Further a NPN transistor Q1 BC547
works as a signal amplifier.

Then finally these music signals are given to the array of six
transistors grounded across with 22 Ω resistor. Transistor in
this array works as amplifier, and glows the four LEDs
according to the sound pattern. We can also add more LEDs &
transistor to make it following more longer pattern.
The sensitivity of mic can be increased or decreased by
changing the value of R2 & C1. The formulae for calculating the
resonant frequency can be given as:

F = 1/ (2πRC)
