Brain

Sound Waves Can Heal Brain. The Therapeutic Use of Soundwaves have a positive impact on our brainwaves, and could be a way to manage a variety of health concerns. The brain is made up of several specialized cells called neurons. Neurons constantly interact with each other in the brain—to communicate behaviour, emotions and thought—through an electric activity that can be measured using a technique called electroencephalography (EEG). Using sensors attached to the scalp, scientists can record the electronic feedback from the brain and map them out like waves. Each human activity corresponds to a different wavelength. For example, a brainwave measured and mapped while we’re resting will differ from when it’s mapped while we’re in a focused state. Brainwaves also occur at various frequencies. While some are fast, others are slow, based on our activities and emotional states. These brainwaves can be divided into broad categories based on their wavelength and frequencies. The most widely used EEG bands are delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma. They are measured in a cyclic format, or cycles per second, called hertz (Hz). neurons communicate chemically via neurotransmitters. These chemical communications are also coupled with electrical impulses. The electrical activity in healthy brains is synchronized in order to correctly process information about the environment. These synchronized patterns are called brainwaves. There are several different types of brainwaves

Delta waves are the lowest frequency wave (1-4 Hz) and occur during deep sleep
• Theta waves (4-8 Hz) indicate a dreamy, relaxed state, usually attained during meditation and stress-free relaxation. It usually represents the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness. Usually occur during lighter sleep. They are associated with creativity
• Alpha waves (8-12 Hz) brainwaves are slower but larger, associated with normal relaxation while waiting for external stimuli to affect it. If we close our eyes and relax, picturing peaceful scenes, there is an increase in alpha brainwave activity. It is the idle or neutral gear of brainwaves. Beta waves (13-21 Hz) are the brainwaves people experience most often. They are related to concentration and focus, but excessive beta wave activity is associated with anxiousness and the fight-or-flight response.
• Beta waves (13-38Hz) have a faster and shorter frequency, associated with levels of concentration or mental and intellectual activity. It represents a state of alertness.
• Gamma waves (39-42Hz) brainwaves are faster blips of subtle vibratory states, usually associated with regulating perception and consciousness.

Brainwave Entrainment

One way to alter brainwaves is through meditation. However, it can sometimes take a long time to cultivate a meditation practice and experience the health benefits it provides. Normally, we cannot change brainwave patterns as we’re usually not aware of the state they’re in. However, we can influence them. Through proper external conditioning, we may be able to exert enough influence that, through constant effort, the changes become gradually enduring, with the feedback matching the influence. This practice of influencing brainwaves to achieve certain states is termed neurofeedback. Neuro-sound is a form of neurofeedback wherein auditory stimuli, such as mantras, music, binaural beats or positive affirmations, are utilized to influence brainwave chemistry to our desired effect. This can be used to achieve better brain health, learning abilities and enhanced cognition. While it is a relatively new practice in the realm of science, using sound and vibrations to influence our physical and mental health has been around for ages.

This phenomenon is the result of the brain’s interpretation of two different tones being received by each ear. When two slightly different tones are played at the same time, the brain interprets the stimuli as one tone with the difference in frequencies from each ear. For example, if a 300 Hz tone was played in one ear, and a 250 Hz tone was played in the other, the brain would perceive a 50 Hz tone. The importance of this is that soundwaves in our environment can induce certain brainwaves; thus, binaural beats can be used to produce specific, desired types of brain waves. The most common goal of brain entrainment is to produce alpha waves, as they are linked to feelings of relaxation.Though most people produce these frequencies with their eyes closed, some cannot generate them naturally at all. Hence, when brainwaves can be influenced to a certain frequency corresponding to the five zones, brain function can accordingly be modified using sound. As a result, certain frequencies, sounds and music have the power to stimulate the brain, to even produce neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which is the “feel good” chemical messenger, and can be utilized to increase pleasure and reduce feelings of pain. Different brainwave patterns are linked to the production of various neurochemicals which are associated with creativity, memory, relaxation, stress relief, increased learning, and other such desirable benefits. Experiments, show that how a 10 Hz brainwave frequency, i.e., one that fell in the alpha zone, increased the production of serotonin, easing pain and initiating relaxation. They also show how a 4 Hz brainwave frequency helps the brain to produce catecholamines, chemicals important for memory and learning. Simply put, the brain’s internal communication system, or its language, is based on frequency, and when we speak this language by influencing external frequencies through music and sound, we’re communicating to the brain to initiate a desired mental state. How people can use Neurosound to their benefit Neurofeedback and neuro-sound have far-reaching applications in our lives, including reducing stress, relief from headaches, pain relief, increased memory and learning, preventing or reversing cognitive disorders like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease, as well as promoting better sleep cycles, recovery from addiction and enhanced cognitive abilities.
