Our brain is made up of billions of brain cells which use electricity to communicate with each other. Since brain cells are alive, they are always generating electrical signals; they are never ‘off’ or shut down. The combination of millions of neurons sending signals all at the same time produces an enormous amount of electrical activity in the brain.
This activity can be detected and mapped using sensitive medical equipment such as an EEG. Such map shows that the brain is emitting specific frequency patterns that relate directly to different mental processes all the way from wide awake and highly focused to deep, dreamless sleep.
Brain Wave Patterns:
The brain produces electrical patterns known as brainwaves.
These patterns can be detected using sophisticated electronic equipment known as EEG devices. Different brainwave patterns are produced during different mental activities.
If external stimulus is applied to the brain, it is possible to ‘entrain’ or change the dominant brain frequency from one stage to another. If an individual in the beta stage is presented with a stimulus of 10Hz for some time, the brain frequency is likely to change towards that stimulus. This is called the frequency following response.
When a brainwave pattern is practiced over a period of time more…
