Albums produced by The Wellness Audio Institute, stimulate the brain through a complex neural process, known as Brainwave Entrainment (or BWE). This process is explained briefly below:<\/span><\/p>\n

What are brainwaves? <\/span><\/h2>\n

Your brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons which use electricity to communicate with each other. The combination of millions of neurons sending signals at once, produces an enormous amount of electrical activity in the brain. This activity can be detected using sensitive medical equipment, such as an Electroencephalograph (EEG), measuring electricity levels over areas of the scalp. The combination of electrical activity of the brain is commonly called a BrainWave pattern because of its cyclic, “wave-like” nature. Below, is one of the first recordings of brain activity.<\/p>\n

Here is a more modern EEG recording:<\/p>\n

The Significance of Brainwaves<\/span><\/h3>\n

With the discovery of brainwaves, came the discovery that electrical activity in the brain will change, depending on what the person is doing. For instance, the brainwaves of a sleeping person are vastly different to the brainwaves of someone who is wide awake. Over the years, more sensitive equipment has brought us closer to analysing\u00a0exactly what brainwaves represent and what they mean about a person’s health and state of mind. You can tell a lot about a person simply by observing their brainwave patterns. For example, anxious people tend to produce an overabundance of high Beta waves. While people with ADD\/ADHD tend to produce an overabundance of slower Alpha\/Theta brainwaves. Researchers have found that not only are brainwaves representative of \u00a0a person’s mental state but brain activity can be stimulated to change a person’s mental state. This, in turn, can help treat a variety of mental issues.<\/p>\n

What is Brainwave Entrainment?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Brainwave Entrainment refers to the brain’s electrical response to rhythmic sensory stimulation, such as pulses of sound or light.<\/p>\n

When the brain is given a stimulus through the ears, eyes or other senses, it emits an electrical charge in response, called a Cortical Evoked Response (shown below). These electrical responses travel throughout the brain to become what you “see and hear”.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When the brain is presented with a rhythmic stimulus. For example,\u00a0when a drum beats, the rhythm is reproduced in the brain in the form of these electrical impulses. If the rhythm becomes fast and consistent enough, it can start to resemble the natural internal rhythms of the brain, called brainwaves. When this happens, the brain responds by synchronizing its own electric cycles to the same rhythm. This is commonly called the Frequency Following Response (FFR):<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The FFR can be useful because brainwaves are very much related to a person’s mental state. For example, a 4 Hz brainwave is associated with sleep, so a 4 Hz sound pattern would help reproduce the sleep state in your brain. The same concept can be applied to many other mental states, including concentration, creativity and meditation.<\/p>\n

If you listen closely to our albums, you will hear small, rapid pulses of sound. As the session progresses, the frequency rate of these pulses is changed slowly, thereby, changing your brainwave patterns and guiding your mind to various useful mental states.<\/p>\n

How Do I Get Started?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A description will never do it justice. Brainwave entrainment just has to be experienced. To get started using entrainment technology is easy. All you have to do is download a brainwave entrainment album from The Wellness Audio Institute, find a place to listen to it where you can be undisturbed for the duration\u00a0of the session you want to enjoy the experience. This technology is safe, inexpensive, effective and highly discounted for our\u00a0subscribers. Give it a try today!<\/p>\n
