To stimulate the nervous system – against stress and sensory overload
Audiovisual Perception Training (AVWF® for short) supports children, adolescents, and adults in enhancing learning and cognitive abilities, motor skills, as well as mental and physical performance.
The AVWF therapy is based on stimulating the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Through the muscles of the inner ear, the 10th cranial nerve (vagus nerve) is stimulated, thereby activating both the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system.
The treatment is carried out for 2 x 5 days, with one session per day lasting one hour.
Stimulation of the autonomic nervous system increases the brain's processing speed of information. Thinking becomes faster, and the cooperation between the two hemispheres of the brain improves significantly. This leads to better perception and processing, improved stress resilience, enhanced information processing, stress reduction, and relaxation.
Course of Therapy
For a period of 2x five-day sessions, one hour per day is spent listening to sound-modulated tones through headphones. During this time, patients can read, draw, play games, or even simply sleep. The effect is definitely present. Even after the 10-day program has ended, the performance of the stimulated brain continues to improve over the course of weeks and months.
In addition, I support the autonomic nervous system with appropriate neurological stimulation using scientific visual training and color light therapy, at the right time and in the right place.
The therapy aims to achieve a noticeable improvement in the perception of visual and auditory information through the combination of all stimuli. Many clients report positive changes in their ability to perceive.
Neuro-Sensory Therapist
For over 20 years, I have combined my expertise in visual therapy with auditory stimulation. Since then, more than 5,000 children and adults have benefited from this unique combination — achieving remarkable success in school, work, leisure, and sports.
As an experienced functional optometrist and pioneer of the AVWF® method in Switzerland, I have guided people of all ages on their journey toward improved perception and quality of life.
If you're interested, please email me for an initial consultation. Sometimes I can tell you during our phone call whether therapy would be suitable for your son or daughter. Sometimes I need to perform a preliminary examination to determine the correct diagnosis.

The Development of AVWF – Well-Founded, Tested, and Scientifically Supported
Ulrich Conrady has developed Audiovisual Perception Training (AVWF) over many years, based on scientific findings and practical experience. From the very beginning, the method has been accompanied by biologists, neuroscientists, and psychologists — through studies, tests, and continuous refinement.
