Episode 17 – Introduction to Brainwaves

EPISODE SUMMARY: I’m sure you have heard or used the expression “I had a brainwave”. But while this saying refers more to the fact that you or someone may have had a great idea or some light bulb moment, brainwaves are a real thing.Brainwaves are patterns, created by constant electrical activity in the brain, that influence your mood, emotions and performance. They also determine if you are focused, relaxed, creative or even asleep.This episode will introduce the five known and researched brain waves, their frequencies, associated states, functions, other important aspects and with the final section of how to shift between brainwave states.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Introduction: What are Brainwaves?The Five Known BrainwavesDelta Waves·     Frequency, Associated States and Function·     Too high or too low Delta waves·     How to increase Delta waves·     Research examplesTheta Waves·     Frequency, Associated States and Function·     When are Theta waves active?·     How to increase Theta waves·     Research examplesAlpha Waves·     Frequency, Associated States and Function·     Why are Alpha waves important?·     How to increase Alpha waves·     Research examplesBeta Waves·     Frequency, Associated States and Function·     Pros and cons of High Beta waves·     How to regulate Beta waves·     Research examplesGamma Waves·     Frequency, Associated States and Function·     What makes Gamma waves unique?·     How to increase Gamma waves·     Research examplesHow to shift between brainwave statesConclusionFURTHER INFORMATION AND LINKS:Further information and links about Host Elke Wallace:Exploring Brain and Mind is currently a one-person venture with limited financial resources..
