Latest Developments in Brainwave Entrainment

Brainwave Entrainment Can Help You Dramatically Improve Your Mental States & Abilities!
Recently, professionals in the areas of psychology, neurology, medical health and self-help have begun utilizing the power of brainwave entrainment in their work with patients and clients. Advances in the effectiveness of brainwave entrainment have been significant.
It is a relatively young but rapidly growing field that involves the study of how altering brainwaves naturally can allow people to easily enter states of increased intelligence, creativity, relaxation, pure energy and more! Researchers and scientists have found that different bands of brainwaves are associated with different mental states. Scientific studies have shown that brainwaves not only provide insight into an individual's mind and body, but they can be stimulated to actually change that person's current state. By causing the brain to produce or decrease specific types of brainwave frequencies, it is possible to bring about a large variety of mental states and emotional reactions.
Below are the 4 most common brainwave classifications:
Beta Waves (13 hz - 40 hz)
Beta Mp3's
Beta is identified with active, busy or anxious
thinking and active concentration. A healthy beta state allows you to think quickly and improve your focus. But too much time in the beta state can cause anxiety, stress, and paranoia, which can lead to muscle tension, depression, high blood pressure, and insomnia, among other sleep disturbances and health problems. While too much time in beta is obviously not good, a lack of sufficient beta activity can also cause mental or emotional disorders such as depression, ADD and insomnia. In such cases stimulating beta activity can improve emotional stability, energy levels, attentiveness and concentration.

Alpha Waves (8 hz - 12 hz)
Alpha Mp3's
When we begin to relax or begin to get drowsy, but are still awake and conscious, we are at the alpha level. Alpha patterns vary from deep alpha, a state of deep relaxation, (often referred to as the twilight state between sleep and waking) to the higher end of alpha that is a more focused, yet still a very relaxed state. Alpha is a very receptive, absorbent mental state and can be used for effective self-hypnosis, reprogramming the sub conscious, accelerated learning and more. When you spend more time in Alpha state, you'll find it easier to tap into your higher levels of creativity and expression.
When we are asleep and have dreams, and experience rapid eye movement (REM), and even when we experience deep meditation, we are at the theta level. Theta is a dream like stage, pre-sleep or pre-awaken stage (or deep meditation stage). Theta is associated with a number of beneficial states such as: sustained attention over time, enhanced creativity, boosted immune system, increased long term memory, opening the mind to suggestion and new ideas, advanced problem solving, deep meditation and deep relaxation etc., etc. In the slower theta brainwave pattern, the brain makes lots of relaxing endorphins that melt all your stress away.
Delta waves are usually associated with deep, slow brain activity found in deep sleep. Delta waves are experienced predominantly in newborn infants, as well as in healthy adults in deep rejuvenating sleep, or in very deep states of meditation. At the delta level the body replenishes its energy, releases anti-aging hormones like human growth hormone (HGH), relieves stress, and boosts the immune system. The delta state rejuvenates your mind, body, and spirit. When your dominant brainwave is delta, your body is healing itself and "resetting" its internal clocks so to speak.

Epsilon brainwaves are sub delta brainwaves below 0.5 hz, and they are associated with mystical states of consciousness, whole brain thinking, anti-aging, rejuvenation and so many more benefits. Few people, except those way advanced in meditation, persistently experience epsilon brainwaves on a daily basis. Optimal health on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level grows out of spending time consciously at theta, delta and epsilon brainwaves level.Interestingly, epsilon brainwaves are strongly related to very high frequency brainwaves called lambda brainwaves. The same states of consciousness are associated with both lambda and epsilon waves. Extraordinary states of consciousness, high states of meditation, ecstatic states of consciousness, high-level inspiration states, spiritual insight, out-of-body experiences, Yogic states of suspended animation etc., seem to be the main themes of the epsilon and lambda brainwave states.

How does Brainwave Entrainment work?
Here's the science behind brainwave entrainment: The brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which communicate with each other using electrical signals. All of these neurons sending signals at once produce a large amount of electrical activity commonly called a Brainwave pattern, because of its "wave" or cyclic-like nature. "Entrainment" is a principle in physics, where two cycles synchronize naturally with each other in order to work more efficiently. Entrainment is applied to chemistry, astronomy, electrical systems and much more, but can also be applied to the brain.
When the brain is provided with a stimulus, through the ears, eyes or other senses, it emits an electrical charge in response. This is called a Cortical Evoked Response. These electrical responses travel throughout the brain to become what an individual sees and hears. When the brain is given a consistent, repeating stimulus, such as drum beats or flashes of light, the brain responds by synchronizing, or entraining, its electric cycles to the external rhythm. This is commonly called the Frequency Following Response (or FFR), and it can be used to effectively alter our brainwave patterns.
In the last 10 years, there have been great advancements in the field of brainwave entrainment as it relates to cognitive functioning. Studies have shown that the brains of many people are actually functioning at low capacity. By targeting the specific brainwave band that is related to states of intense concentration and strong focus, scientists have been able to help individuals improve their academic performance. Entrainment can also be used to induce states of relaxation and even deep states akin to deep meditation. This can have profound benefits for people who are seeking to perform certain types of work, art or even attain certain spiritual states.
Still Wondering Whether Brainwave Entrainment Really Works?
In 1999, the Journal of Neurotherapy published a case study conducted by Thomas Budzynski, Ph.D. In the study Dr. Budzynski used 8 college students who were struggling academically. After undergoing audio-visual brainwave stimulation, the students outperformed a control group and significantly increased their grade point average. The GPA for the 8 students continued to rise even after treatment was discontinued!
Drs. Siegfried and Susan Othmer found that neurofeedback brainwave training in the 15-18 Hz range can produce significant shifts in IQ score, particularly with people who are suffering from ADD/ADHD and other disorders. In cases where the starting IQ value is less than 100, the average IQ increase was 33 points! They also found significant improvements in memory, reading and arithmetic. In a one year follow-up, trainees showed major improvements in self-esteem, concentration and self-expression.
Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones Are Two Ways to Alter Brainwaves
Binaural beats are the most recognized form of brainwave entrainment because it is the earliest. With binaural beats, a slightly different tone is presented into each ear. The tones then combine in the brain to form a pulse or "beat". The pulse heard by the listener is actually the difference between the two tones. For example, if the left ear is given a tone at 20 hertz and the right ear is given a tone of 30 hertz, then the listener will hear a beat of 10 hertz. And the brain will entrain to that rhythm.
While binaural beats are by far the most used form of brainwave entrainment, other more modern methods are quickly gaining popularity. The most promising of the new methods is Isochronic Tones. Isochronic tones are a somewhat less well known form of entrainment; however, they have proven to be much more effective. Isochronic entrainment uses a single tone that is manually spaced, turning on and off in a precise pattern. This actually enhances the effectiveness of audio entrainment.
Ultimately, the studies show that a new day has dawned. For those in persuit of any type of self development, brainwave entrainment can offer an excellent array of benefits.

Decades of History Behind Brainwave Entrainment
by Jason Wentworth (Red Five Development, LLC)
Brainwave synchronization or entrainment is the process by which an external stimulus operating at a particular frequency can cause the human brain to increase brainwave activity at that particular frequency, thereby modifying cognitive functioning.
In 1934, photonic light stimulation ("Photic Driving") was shown to cause brainwave synchronization when researchers found that the strength of the Alpha brainwave, discovered by Hans Berger in 1929, could be driven beyond its normal frequency using flickering lights.
In 1942, tactile stimulation was shown to cause brainwave synchronization by Dempsey and Morison through repetitive tactile stimulus.
In 1959, auditory stimulation was shown to cause brainwave synchronization by Dr. Chatrian, where the brain waves responded to clicks at a frequency of 15 per second.
In the 1960's, brainwave entrainment (synchronization) was being used as a tool to entrain the brain for desired effects. The amount of anesthesia needed for surgery was reduced by photic stimulation by M.S. Sadove, MD. During dental procedures, less anesthesia, less gagging, less bleeding, and reduction in anxiety were reported by Bernard Margolis due to brainwave entrainment.
In the 1980's, brainwave entrainment was being studied as a tool for Serotonin and HGH release, headache relief, and general relaxation by Dr. Norman Shealy, Dr. Glen Solomon, and others.
In 1980, photic stimulation was shown to produce "cerebral synchronization" by Tsuyoshi Inouye and associates at the Department of Neuropsychiatry at Osaka University Medical School in Japan. These results were later confirmed by Dr. Norman Shealy.
In 1981, the book MegaBrain was written by Michael Hutchison, discussing the many uses of entrainment, from meditation to increased learning.
In 1984, audio-visual brain stimulation and in particular hemispheric synchronization were analyzed during EEG monitoring by Dr. Brockopp, who said "By inducing hemispheric coherence the machine can contribute to improved intellectual functioning of the brain."
In the 1990's, the potential for using entrainment with ADD and learning disorders was studied by researchers such as Dr. Russel, Dr. Carter, and others.
To the present day, brainwave entrainment continues to be studied. Steady research comes from the work of Dr. Thomas Budzynski, David Siever, Michael Joyce, and others. Research has been conducted into PMS, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain, Depression, Hypertension, and a number of other disorders.
Many modern clinical EEG units now come with entrainment devices due to the promising results of studies done in the field of brainwave synchronization.
Over 70 years of research back the use of brainwave entrainment. There are continually more professionals, psychologists, mental health clinics, trainers, teachers, and individuals who are finding brainwave entrainment to be a remarkably useful tool.
Articles about Binaural Beats and Brainwave Entrainment

The Benefits, Drawbacks and Truths About Holosync and Binaural Beats Binaural Beats are created by an audio mixing technique that sends different frequency tones to each ear separately. They are designed to alter the listener's brain wave activity and they do this very effectively. By relaxing in a quiet environment, closing your eyes and wearing headphones these beats can be used to create almost any brainwave pattern required. It has been well documented that when brainwave patterns change they cause a change in chemical reactions within the body. These chemical reactions usually have a profound effect on the entire physical structure of the body. In essence binaural beats appear to have the same impact and benefits of very deep meditation. In fact the use of such technology has been shown to be almost identical to transcendental mediation.
Control Your Brain Waves, Control Your Life Slanting the brain in a positive perception actually fires up the body's healing process. Brainwave entrainment has been researched into the study of healing mind related disease and even helping patients with amnesia regain their memory retaining capabilities.Clever little men in white coats have discovered that engineered beats that have differing frequencies (beyond human hearing) can actually invoke a cortical response and fires up the neurons to let loose brainwaves for a specific purpose.
What is the Best Way to Meditate Since we all are living in society there are much more distractions than some one living in a hermitage. These methods are more suitable for hermits living far away and who had given up social life and has no distractions for that matter. Then what is the best way for people like us to meditate? In my experience the most effective meditation technique for laymen like us is to listen to a Brainwave Entrainment program. This is the shortest cut for people living in society like you and me and who wants to get all the benefits that meditation has to offer. Brain wave training is the easiest and most effective way to achieve fast results with the least time and least expense. Actually what meditation does is, it reduces your brain wave frequency to alpha or theta and some times to delta.
Binaural Beats - What are They There are many different combinations of Binaural Beats on the market now days. Straight forward Beats which when you are listening to them sound like a lightly fluctuating tone, it has been likened to a Wah, Wah, Wah noise. Then you have the Binaural Beats which have been overlayed with other sounds such a nature sounds, or soft meditation music. You can also get Binaural Beats, overlayed with a sound, as previously mentioned, but with hypnotic scripts to deal with specific problem areas the listener may have, i.e. confidence. Thereby combining the two techniques. This, I believe, is the perfect combination for specific problem areas as the beats help get you to the desired state for hypnosis, which can sometimes be a task in itself.

What is Brain Entrainment or Brainwave Synchronization Meditation is a tool that is being commonly used to lower our brainwaves and get in to a relaxed comfortable state of mind and body. As you know meditation has been proved to have immense benefits to our health and happiness. But did you know that Brain Entrainment or Brainwave Synchronization could be used instead of meditation and much more effectively for that matter? Alpha Brainwave Entrainment or any other Brain wave Training could be used to achieve this end. So if we could artificially induce specially crafted sounds from outside, our brainwaves start to synchronize to these sounds and lower their frequencies according to the induced sounds. This is the basics of Brain Entrainment or Brainwave Synchronization.
Brainwave Entrainment - Sound Healing For Your Subconscious Some people in a sound lab discovered that the brain has different states, from alpha to theta. These mark the sort of brainwave frequencies that the brain releases during different states of our waking and sleeping life. For example, the deep sleeping human is often in alpha state, a state known for unlocking tremendous learning capabilities. This is why studies of late have proven that studying just before you sleep helps in the learning and factual retention process. Amazed? Don't be. Other states can help in unlocking intelligence, creativity, and even a state of euphoria. The applications are endless.
Brainwave Entrainment - Mind Control Techniques For a Better You Many companies have produced specialised soundtracks that feature digitally engineered sounds that have formulaic beats, frequency differentiations, soundscape modifications all sculpted to stimulate a cortical response that emits brain waves closely that are associated with these heightened states. Music does not only unlock the soul, but the Einstein, the Aristotle and the Voltaire in us. This has been gaining more and more momentum and popularity especially for child based programmes like bio feedback, autogenics and brainwave entrainment. Why not give your child or even yourself every advantage possible in life? Brainwave technology is the ultimate motivator that can dismantle the negative messages, attitudes and inertias that everyone has in their subconscious mind - working to unravel our lives and limit our potential.
How to Rid yourself of Your Negative Attitude Enjoy your life. Appreciate what you have. Take time to notice the little things. Remember things in life that you have achieved - remember the feeling. Start imagining yourself how you want to be. A great exercise for this is to look into a mirror and say out loud: ' I love you', 'you are beautiful', 'you are confident', 'people like being around you' But you must say it with conviction. Some people will find looking into a mirror and telling themselves 'I love you' an extremely hard, painful thing to do. They may cry, they may not be able to say it at all. Keep trying. You are starting to break the barriers down. They have been there a long time so it may take some work. But it will be worth it. Positive affirmations do work. You are training your mind to look at yourself in a different way. Re-programming your mind. You can do these on your own. You can use many different alternative therapies such as Self Hypnosis, Meditation, Meditation which is enhanced by Binaural Beats
Binaural Beats - A Subconscious Technique to Improve Your Life Binaural beats' main objective is to use the power of sound and frequency to produce a reaction within the brain and create brain wave changes in the listener. It follows the same logic as deep meditation - a method commonly utilised by religious figures from the islands of Asia. Once you achieve that state of relaxation, your subconscious mind is freed and able to accept new information and reprogramming. Outlooks and mindsets that have been ingrained in your subconscious as a process that springs from your youth and the formative years can be slowly turned to a direction that can bring about success and an improvement in your life.
Stress Relief Music: Entrain Your Brain Through the use of designed sound combinations, selected binaural beats can be generated in our brains, placing us in a specific mental state. In addition to lowering ar raising brain wave frequency to relax or excite a listener, there are other more controversial, alleged uses for binaural beats. For example, it has been postulated that by using specific frequencies, an individual can stimulate certain glands to produce desired hormones. As an example, experiments have demonstrated that endorphins, commonly produced in the "runner's high" state of mind, can be generated by using specific combinations of binaural beats.
Learn the Power of Mind Over Matter Some of us have literally taught ourselves to be negative and be unsuccessful in life and be content with it. Why not set yourself free? Change your mindset and be a winner. That person is within you, and you can't hear him because he is incarcerated in the self-built prisons of your conscious brain and your subconscious mind. There are many methods for you to tap into the power of the mind and release the correct brain waves and frequency patterns that allow you to reach a state of acute intelligence, creativity and optimal 'super' learning. From yoga, to programmed meditation, hypnotism to technological wonders like magnetic field and binaural beats that stimulate the exact cortical and cerebral brain response - precise for optimal reprogramming and change.
Learning the Correct Brainwave Techniques to Improve Behaviour An easy and effective way to achieve a deep meditative state is through the use of binaural beats - frequency engineered sounds introduced to the mind through music. The differing frequencies are sculptured to create a cortical response from the brain - which means it creates a specific frequency response that is associated with the very brain waves that can slip the mind into a meditative state. Magnetic fields passed over the temporal and frontal lobe also do the same thing. Technology like the Shakti - headgear that introduces these very same magnetic fields to invoke a brain wave response.
