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.
