Emotions and Brain Waves
Thoughts, ideas, emotions, feelings and brainwaves are moving around in your mind every single second of everyday. These flows of electrical waves allow neurons within our brain to communicate with each other while we walk, talk, think, work and feel.
Where they are generated in your brain and how they communicate with each other is still somewhat of a mystery. As research continues and we uncover and find answers to these questions, one thing is sure, and that is, brainwaves are the foundation of everything going on in our minds, from memory to attention, from intelligence to emotions even the way in which we behave at a given moment.

What is Frequency Following Response?
What is Frequency Following Response? Frequency following response [1] (FFR) is the tendency for our mind and body to be affected and synchronized by an external source – such as sounds and rhythms.
Frequency following response is a prime factor in brainwave entrainment. This happens when; an external stimulus is being mirrored by internal processes within the brain. The result of this mirroring can be excited by sound and vision to create certain brain states.
Body and Mind Relationship
We are all moved by the beautiful sounds of nature – the roar of ocean waves, the rumble of thunder, and the constant flow of a river as well as the majesty of a symphony orchestra. These rhythmical and sometimes melodic waveforms constantly move us into the conscious awareness of the relationship of body and mind. Continue reading
What are Brainwaves?
What are Brainwaves? There is nothing more fascinating than the human brain; I am always amazed at just how incredible this bio-computer really is.
Did you know that 78% of your brain is water, 12% fat and 8% protein, the cerebral cortex is about 85% of your brain?
There are about 100 billion neurons in the human brain (same amount of stars in our galaxy) and approximately 100ml of blood flow through the brain every minute, there are 160km of blood vessels in your brain.
It can stay alive for up to 4–6 minutes without oxygen; the slowest speed that information travels between neurons is 416km per hour. The energy used by the brain is enough to light a 25 watt light bulb and more electrical impulses are generated in one day by a single human brain than by all the telephones in the world.

Brainwave Entrainment with Audio
Brainwave Entrainment (BWE) with audio called binaural beats or binaural tones are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sound, the perception of which arises in the brain for specific physical stimuli. [1]
The effect was discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, and has become more prominent in the late 20th century due to the claims that binaural beats can help induce relaxation, meditation, creativity and other sought after mental states. Continue reading
What is Brainwave Entrainment?
I’ve been practicing brainwave entrainment for some time now, using brainwave audio tools such as binaural beats, and must confess that it’s helped me become more relaxed, focused and creative. In fact, binaural beats have even helped me control back pain as well as the occasional headache. I even use them to assist in removing or changing unwanted behaviour patterns and attitudes, they even assist me with affirmations and visualization of my goals.
Binaural beats (brainwave audio) can be used to achieve different mind states, reach deep relaxation and meditation, and are great for self improvement and overall health.
Brainwave entrainment methods such as binaural beats, monaural beats as well as isochronic tones are widely used in therapeutic support of people who need help in relaxation, meditation and overall self improvement. Continue reading
Although there are no hard and fast rules on how to use binaural beats. There are some good tips and tricks that you can use in order to benefit your experience while listening.
