Brain Wave States
BETA (β)
-
Anxiety dom., actv., external attention, relaxed

Beta waves are high-frequency, low-amplitude brain waves that are comm. obsrv. in an awaken state like decision making

When the alarm goes off in the morning, you're in beta
Turn down your alpha brain waves. In a new study, the researchers found that ppl. can enhance their atten. by contr. their own alpha brain waves based on neurofeedback they receive as they perform a part. task
GAMMA (γ)
Concentration, prob. solv.
gamma waves in many types of brain disorders, incl. injuries, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease

By listening to the right binaural beats, the idea is that you'll be able to take adv. of the cognitive beneft. ass. w/ those freq.
High-amplitude gamma wave synchrony can be self-induced via meditation. Long-term practitioners of med.such as Tibetan Buddhist monks exhibit both increased gamma-band actv. at baseline as well as significant increases in gamma synchrony during meditation

DELTA (δ)

Sleep
During non-REM sleep, the slower, lower frequency theta and delta waves dominate,

encourage the production of hormones such as DHEA and melatonin which have a direct impact on the skin, bodily functions, and general well-being.
a number of chemicals and drugs have been shown to alter delta wave activity, like melatonin
ALPHA (α)

Brain waves are propagated along the perineural system and blend with this continuous current. The result is a powerful vector of homeostasis.
