The higher end of alpha results in a relaxed, yet focused state with increased intuition. Meditation and access to the unconscious mind fall within the alpha realm. Alpha waves also encourage increased serotonin production. Most adults operate at the beta level throughout the day.Īlpha: Slower waves ranging from 9 to 14 Hz, this pattern is one of deep relaxation and the twilight state between sleep and waking. At higher levels, beta waves can trigger stress, anxiety and restlessness. Beta waves represent our normal waking consiousness and logic. Compassion and loving-kindness practices appear to yield the highest level of gamma waves.īeta: A rapid pattern that falls between 15Hz and 40Hz, beta is associated with alertness, arousal, cognition and concentration. Seasoned meditators, like monks and nuns, often have elevated gamma brain wave activity. People with high levels tend to exhibit extraordinary intelligence and compassion, strong memory and incredible self-control. Peak concentration, exceptionally high levels of cognitive functioning and being in “the zone” are the most prominent characteristics of gamma brain waves. Gamma: The fastest brain wave frequency, gamma brain waves measure between 25 and 100 Hz (cycles per minute) - with 40 Hz the most typical for humans.
To understand how binaural and brain synchronization works, we first have to look at the different levels of brain wave patterns, which fall into five categories:
