Different types of electrical activity within your brain dominate during certain times of day or during specific activities. Harnessing your brain’s alpha waves can help you enter a flow state, which ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals how rhythmic brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between our own body and the external world ...

Neuroscientists recently made a correlation between an increase of alpha brain waves—either through electrical stimulation or mindfulness and meditation—and the ability to reduce depressive symptoms ...

According to researchers, now they have shown they are able to influence alpha waves with sound, the next steps will be to explore whether they can modify the waves in such a way that enhances ...

Alpha waves or Alpha rhythm are macroscopic neural oscillations in the frequency range of 8–12 Hz likely originating from the synchronous and coherent (in phase or constructive) electrical activity of ...
