Brainwave Entrainment or Stimulation

Brainwave Entrainment or Stimulation of Brain Waves is a sound technology that we use to make CDs Brain Activation. This article will explain to you, what is Brainwave Entrainment, its history and how it works to activate your brain.

What is Brain Waves?

Your brain consists of billions of brain cells called neurons. Every neurons communicate with each other (in a relationship) by emitting electric waves. Shockwaves released by neurons in the brain is called "brain waves" or brainwave. So-called brain waves are "electric current" issued by the brain. If the brain is no longer eject brain waves, then we know that the brain is dead.

Brain waves can be measured with the equipment electroencephalograph (EEG). It is known that the frequency of brain waves generated by neurons varies between 0-30 Hz and classified into a wave delta, theta, alpha and beta. Each wave has different characteristics and indicates a person's mental condition.

Here is a brief description of the characteristics of the four types of brain waves generally present in every person.

Beta Waves: Alert, Concentration.

Beta brain wave conditions (13-30 Hz) keep our minds sharp and focused. Under conditions of Beta, your brain will easily do the analysis and preparation of the information, make connections, and generate solutions and new ideas. Beta is very rewarding to work productivity, study for exams, preparing presentations, or other activities that require high concentration and alertness.

Alpha Waves: Creativity, Relaxation, Visualization

Alpha brain waves (8-13 Hz) in contrast compared to Beta conditions. Relaxed state encourages the flow of creative energy and feeling fresh, healthy. Alpha brainwaves ideal conditions for reflection, problem solving, and visualization, to act as a gateway to our creativity.

Theta waves: Deep relaxation, meditation, Memory Improvement

Slower than Beta, Theta brain wave conditions (4-8 Hz) appears when we dream in light sleep. Or also often named as having a conscious dream. Theta frequency is associated with the release of stress and memory recall long. Conditions "twilight" (twilight) can be used to get a deeper meditation, resulting in improved overall health, less need for sleep, increased creativity and learning.

Delta Waves: Healing, Sleep It Soundly.

Condition Delta (0.5-4 Hz), while the slower brain waves, often associated with very deep sleep state. Some frequencies in the Delta range is accompanied by the release of human growth hormone (Human Growth Hormone), which is beneficial in healing. Condition Delta, if generated in the waking state, will provide the opportunity to access the subconscious activity, encouraging the flow to the conscious mind. Condition Delta is also often associated with men who have a strong sense of empathy and intuition.

Mistaken views that have been present in the minds of many people is a brain wave produces only one type at a time. When we think we are in active beta waves. If we relax we are in alpha. If you're dreaming, we are in theta. And, if we are in deep sleep delta. That view is wrong. The results showed that at some time, in general, our brain produces four types of waves simultaneously, but with different levels. For example, in a state of sleep, our brain produces delta waves a lot more, but still produce theta, alpha and beta, although levels slightly.

Each person has a unique brain wave patterns and always consistent. The uniqueness of it appears on the composition of the wave at a given time. The composition of brain waves that determines a person's level of consciousness. Meditation is one of the most ancient ways to adjust the brain wave patterns. As for the busy modern society, technology Brainwave Entrainment be one of your favorite ways to adjust the brain wave patterns to suit your needs.

Actually, in addition to four types of wave that we mentioned above (Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta) is still higher brainwave frequency is 40-99 Hz Gamma, HyperGamma with appropriate frequency 100 Hz and Lambda waves with a frequency of exactly 200 Hz. According to Dr. Jeffrey. D. Thompson, of the Center for Acoustic Research, HyperGamma and Lambda waves associated with the supernatural, metaphysical or paranormal.

While Gamma waves occur when a person experiences a very high mental activity, such as was in the arena, the struggle for the championship, appeared in public, it panicked, frightened, in a hurry because the deadline work or other circumstances are very stressful for the person.

Brain wave patterns you determine your mental state. Whether you're excited, energized, productive, creative, happy or being lazy, sad, stress, anxiety, difficulty concentrating or depression, all of that is influenced by the pattern of brain waves released by nerve cells in your brain.

The brain waves to determine your state of mind. Brainwave entrainment is a way to organize your brain wave patterns as needed, so you get a fit state of mind you want.

In English, Brainwave Entrainment is also known as brainwave synchronization and brainwave stimulation. In Indonesia known as Brainwave Entrainment Brain Wave Therapy, Brain Wave Stimulation or Sync Brain Waves. For the purposes of this article, we call it Brainwave Entrainment because the term is more universal.

Brainwave Entrainment can be defined as an attempt to stimulate the brain to produce brain waves pattern / specific frequencies as needed. How can perangsangannya with sound waves or flashes of light. Of the two ways, the most popular is the excitation of sound waves as it is considered more effective, less expensive and easier to use.

The phenomenon of "entrainment" was first discovered in 1665 by a Dutch scientist named Christian Huygens. He's got a room that contains some pendulum clocks (ancient clock pendulum as a driver there). He observed, time after time the pendulum motion into harmony between one hour to another hour. Though at first pendulum clock movement is not aligned.

Christian Huygens repeated the experiment several times. He started by moving the pendulum clock differently and the result is always the same: after a while all of a pendulum clock synchronized with itself. Huygens then refer to this situation as "entrainment". As for the Brainwave Entrainment had just emerged since 1839. Starting from Heinrich Wilhelm Dove discovered binaural beats.

In the technology world the mind known as "frequency following response" which is a natural phenomenon of the human brain. Frequency Following Response is a condition in which the brain tends to adjust its frequency to the frequency of sound or light stimuli received by the brain through the ears or eyes.

In closing this article, we want you to understand one thing. That each frequency has its own effects on the body and mind. For example, brain waves with a frequency of 7.83 Hz 6HZ and both belong to the category of theta waves. But they have very different effects on the brain.

In the world of Brainwave Entrainment, we also know the term Brainwave Brain Waves Pattern or Pattern. Brain wave pattern is a composition of different brain wave frequencies that occur in a person's brain. Brain wave patterns to determine a person's mental condition. There is a pattern of brain waves to sleep, there are brain wave patterns for the dream, the brain wave patterns to the spirit and joy, but there is also a pattern of brain waves with ADHD, depression, OCD, and so on.

Functions and Left Brain Right Brain

Functions and Left Brain Right Brain

The difference in the two functions of the left and right brain will shape the nature, characteristics and abilities a person. Different theories of brain function left and right brain has been popular since the 1960s, Roger Sperry of the research results.

Big brain or cerebrum which is the largest part of the human brain is the part that processes all intellectual activity, such as the ability to think, menalarkan, remembering, imagining, and planning for the future.

The brain is divided into left hemisphere and right hemisphere, or better known as the Left Brain and Right Brain. Each hemisphere has different functions. The left brain functioning in matters relating to logic, reason, ability to read and write, and was the center of mathematics. Some experts say that the left brain is the center of Intelligence Quotient (IQ).

Meanwhile, the right brain function in the development of Emotional Quotient (EQ). For example, socialization, communication, interaction with other human beings and the control of emotions. On the right brain is also situated intuitive ability, the ability to perceive, integrate, and body expression, such as singing, dancing, painting and all sorts of other creative activities.

Hemispheres which one is better? Both are good. Each hemisphere of the brain have their respective functions are essential for human survival. However, according to the study, most of the people in the world live with a greater reliance on left brain. This is due to formal education (school and college) more hone skills and little left brain right brain develops.

People who are left brain dominant, intelligent analysis and logical thought processes, but less good at relationships. They also tend to have a sharper right ear, leg, and his right hand was also much sharper than his left arm and leg. While the right brain dominant person could be the person whose jaunty, but have difficulty in learning technical things.

There are many ways to tell if someone is dominant right brain or left brain dominant. For example, by looking at the behavior of everyday life, how to dress, to fill out questionnaires designed specifically or by electroencephalograph equipment that can observe parts of the brain are most active.

Certainly there are people around you who are good in science, but not jaunty. Instead there are people who are good at socializing, but it was not good at school. Such a state is caused by an imbalance between right brain and left brain.

Ideally, the left brain and right brain must be balanced and everything is functioning optimally. People who are right brain and left brain balanced, then he can be a smart person once jaunty or socializing.

To optimize and balance the performance of the two hemispheres of the brain, you can use Brain Activation CD technology. This method is very easy to follow because you only need to listen to the kind of instrumental music designed specifically to align and activate both hemispheres of your brain.

the brain

Your brain controls all the functions of your body. The brain is the center of the whole body. If your brain is healthy, it will encourage the health of your body and your mental health support. Conversely, if your brain is interrupted, then your body and your mental health can be disrupted.

If your heart or your lungs stop working for a few minutes, you can still survive. But if your brain stopped working for a second, then your body is dead. That is why the brain known as the most important organ of the entire organ in the human body.

In addition, most importantly, the brain is also the most complex organ. Discusses the anatomy and function of the brain in detail could take days. Therefore here we will discuss the anatomy and function of the brain in outline only just make you understand the parts and functions of your own brain.

As shown in the figure above, the brain is divided into four sections namely:

Cerebrum (Great Brain)

The cerebellum (small brain)

Brainstem (Brain Stem)

Limbic System (limbic system)

1. Cerebrum

The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain which is also known as the Cerebral Cortex, forebrain or brain Home. The cerebrum is the part of the brain that distinguishes humans from animals. The cerebrum makes man capable of thinking, analysis, logic, language, consciousness, planning, memory and visual abilities. Intelligence quotient or IQ is also determined by the quality of this section.

The cerebrum is divided into 4 (four) sections called lobes. Sections called lobes prominent gyrus and the curve that resembles a moat called the sulcus. The four lobes are respectively: Frontal Lobe, Parietal lobe, occipital lobe and Temporal lobe.

Frontal lobe is a lobe of an existing part dipaling front of the Great Brain. Lobe is associated with the ability to make excuses, range of movement, cognition, planning, problem solving, giving judgment, creativity, sense of control, control of sexual behavior and language skills in general.

Parietal lobes are in the middle, feeling associated with processes such as pressure sensors, touch and pain.

Temporal lobe is at the bottom associated with hearing ability, interpretation and language information in the form of sound.

The occipital lobe at the rear, related to visual stimuli that allow humans are able to interpret the object captured by the retina of the eye.

Besides divided into 4 lobes, cerebrum (the brain) can also be divided into two hemispheres, the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere. The two halves are connected by cables nerves underneath. In general, the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, and the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body. The right brain is involved in creativity and artistic ability. While the left brain for logic and rational thinking. Regarding the function of the Right Brain and Left Brain we have discussed on a separate page.

2. The cerebellum

Small brain or cerebellum is located at the back of the head, near the upper end of the neck. The cerebellum controls many automatic functions of the brain, such as: set the attitude or posture, balance control, muscle coordination and body movement. Small brains also store and carry out a series of automatic movements are studied as driving movement, hand gestures while writing, movement and so lock the door.

In case of minor injury to the brain, can cause disturbances in attitudes and coordination of muscle movements. The movement became uncoordinated, for example, the person is not able to put food in your mouth or incapable of buttoning clothes.

3. Brainstem

Brainstem (brainstem) are inside the skull or head cavity and extending to the base of the spine or spinal cord. The brain regulates basic human functions, including breathing, heart rate, body temperature, regulate digestion, and is the source of man's basic instinct is fight or flight (fight or flight) when approaching danger.

The brain stem is also found in animals such as lizards and crocodiles. Therefore, the brain stem is often also called the reptilian brain. Regulate reptilian brain "territorial feelings" as a primitive instinct. For example, you will feel uncomfortable or threatened when people you do not know too close to you.

The brain stem consists of three parts, namely:

Mesencephalon or Central Brain (also called Mid Brain) is the top of the brain stem that connects the Brain Great and Little Brain. Midbrain control of the response function in terms of vision, eye movements, enlarged pupils, regulate body movement and hearing.

Medulla oblongata is the starting point of the spinal cord from the body toward the left side of the flange, and vice versa. Medulla controls automatic function is the brain, such as heart rate, blood circulation, respiration, and digestion.

Pons is a relay station that sends data to the center along with the reticular formation of the brain. Pons that determines whether we are awake or asleep.

Note: certain groups claim that Middle brain associated with supernatural abilities such as seeing with your eyes closed. The claim was disputed by scientists and doctors nervous because not proven and there is no scientific basis.

The limbic system is located in the center of the brain, brain stem wraps like a shirt collar. Limbic comes from the Latin meaning collar. The brain is also owned by the same mammal that is often called the mammalian brain. Limbic components such as the hypothalamus, thalamus, amygdala, and limbic cortex hipocampus. The limbic system produces feelings functioning, regulate hormone production, maintaining homeostasis, thirst, hunger, sex drive, pleasure centers, metabolism and long-term memory.

The most important part of the limbic system is the hypothalamus that one of its functions is to decide which parts need attention and which are not. For example, you pay more attention to your own children compared with children who do not know. Why? Because you have a strong emotional connection with your child. So also, when you hate someone, you actually often notice or alert. This happens because you have an emotional connection with the person you hate.

4. limbic System
The limbic system stores a lot of information that are untouched by the senses. He is commonly referred to as the emotional brain or the abode of love and honesty. Carl Gustav Jung called the "Subconscious" or the collective unconscious, manifested in the behavior of both like helping other people and sincere behavior. LeDoux termed the limbic system is the seat of all human passions, where bermuaranya love, respect and honesty.
