Brainwave entrainment is an area of science that involves using special sounds to change your brainwave patterns, helping to change your mood. Just by listening to a brief MP3, you can shift yourself into focus, help yourself relax, pump yourself up for a workout,. Theta Waves — 4-7 Hz: Brainwave Entrainment Benefits Theta brainwaves become prominent when we go deeper into meditation and relaxation — “almost trance-like”. Here, brain activity decelerates to the threshold of the sleep stage. One of the more indescribable and wonderful realms we can explore.
Brainwave entrainment is the practice of entraining one's brainwaves to a desired frequency, by means of a periodic stimulus with corresponding frequency. The stimulus can be aural as in the case of binaural or monaural beats and isochronic tones, visual as with a dreamachine, a combination of the two as with a mind machine, or even electrical or magnetic stimulation. The software intended to be used solely for brainwave entrainment comprise only a fraction of all of the software that can be used for brainwave entrainment.
