Computerized electronic device called Orion, manufactured by Mindplace composed of sunglasses with four LEDs on the inner surface of each lens, a stereo headset and a PC where the pre-programmed sessions, which used the appropriate section of No 12 to focus attention lasting 10min. Unlike the second, which became the control group. We found statistically significant difference in the sound group (p <0.05) comparing the same with the control group (p> 0.05), in that at no time was given any encouragement. The results suggest that the use of auditory stimulation made by this unit during the working day, leads to increased performance in focus which in turn could promote the improvement of productivity and quality of work in jobs where the main tool is the computer.
