Brain Wave States                  Posted: Sep 2009

The human brain, fabulous computer, is made of millions of brain cells. Every cell holds the electric current. Many researches are done in the area of human brain. It seems that many things are still to be discovered. Still, what we learned by now is giving us the relation between electrical activities in the brain and brain function. Since the activities of the brain are showing electrical impulses. The electrical activity of the brain cells is creating the brainwaves. Read More

EEG (electroencephalography) technology is used to measure brain's electrical vibrations from the surface of the scalp. The resulting EEG pattern will contain frequency elements mainly below 30Hz. The frequencies are categorized into four states as follows.  Read More

Entraining Brain to a Desired State With Brain Wave Podacst                                              Posted Jul 2008

If external stimulus is applied to the brain, it becomes possible to entrain the brain frequency from one brain state to another. For example, if a person is in the beta state (highly alert) and a stimulus of 10Hz is applied to his/her brain for some time, the brain frequency is likely to change towards the applied stimulus. The effect will be relaxing to the person. This phenomenon is also called frequency following response.  Read More

Effects and Applications of Altered Brain States                                                                                                               Posted Jul 2008

Applying a stimulus to the brain will eventually bring the brain's state closer to the stimulus frequency. This topic describes some possible effects achievable by this.

Just passively listening to binaural beats does not necessarily alter your state of consciousness. For example, willingness and ability to relax and focus attention affects how effective the binaural beat stimulus is for inducing state changes. Read More
