Brain wave music-the beat of the mind People often ask, "What is alpha brain wave?" They are actually asking, "What is the function of alpha brain waves?" Or "What's the use of alpha brainwaves for me?" The answer to the first question leads to the answers to the latter two questions. 1, what is alpha brainwave? Alpha brainwave is one of the four basic brainwaves. These four brain waves are DELTA, THETA, ALPHA and BETA. These four kinds of brain waves constitute EEG. Eeg is the display of brain waves in the brain, but the voltage of brain waves in the brain is very small, only a few millionths of a volt. The average oscillation of alpha brainwaves is 10 times/second. Among brain waves, alpha brain waves were first discovered. 1908, Dr. Hans Berg, an Austrian medical scientist, first made this discovery and called it alpha wave, because alpha ranked first in the ranking of Greek letters, which is the same as the English letter A. In the past hundred years, countless scientists have spent a lot of time studying alpha brain waves, so they have accumulated rich knowledge and conclusions about the basic research of alpha brain waves. Alpha brain waves sometimes appear and sometimes disappear in the brain. It doesn't always exist. For example, there is no alpha wave in the case of deep sleep; If a person is in a state of excitement, fear or anger, there is no alpha brain wave in his brain. Δ brainwaves only appear in deep sleep, θ brainwaves appear in shallow sleep, and α brainwaves appear in early sleep or early waking (that is, when you are half asleep and half awake). At this point, your body is in a relaxed state, and you are consciously vigilant. When you are awake, you will have beta brain waves, accompanied by the concentration you need to achieve. The oscillation frequency of δ brainwave is 0-4 Hz/sec, zeta brainwave is 4-7 Hz/sec, α brainwave is 8- 13 Hz/sec, and Bita brainwave is 13-40 Hz/sec ... Of course, there are other brainwaves, but that is under special circumstances, such as unexpected stimulation. The four brain waves mentioned above constitute the overall arrangement of EEG. 2. What is the function of alpha brain waves? Each brain wave has its own corresponding different brain consciousness state. It can also be said that different states of consciousness need different brain waves to best complete the work of the brain. If the brain can't have corresponding brain waves under certain circumstances, we are in trouble. For example, when you want to sleep, there are no Delta waves and Seta waves in your brain, which is insomnia. On the contrary, people who have the right brain waves at the right time are what people call geniuses. A useful metaphor, we can regard the four brain waves of the brain as four gears of a car. Delta is in first gear, Sunda is in second gear, Alpha is in third gear, and Times him is in fourth gear. No gear is suitable for all driving conditions, and no brainwave condition is suitable for all life challenges. If a certain gear of the car can't be used, or we forget to use it, there is something wrong with the car. For example, if we start from the first gear and then directly shift to the fourth gear (omitting the second gear and the third gear), the fuel consumption of the car will increase greatly and the maintenance cost will be very expensive. So is the brain. Unfortunately, however, we see that too many people use their brains without the second and third gears (Zeta brainwaves and Alpha brainwaves), and the result of driving the brain is the inefficiency of the brain and the increase of medical expenses. How did this happen? Let's give an example to describe the life of modern people. When a person is still in deep sleep in the morning (delta brainwave state), he is suddenly awakened by an alarm clock. There is no time to act immediately (double his brain wave state), and a tense, anxious and hurried day begins! ! ! Drink a cup of coffee to keep yourself awake (beta brainwave state). Caffeine can inhibit β brainwaves and α brainwaves and improve β brainwaves. Work under tension, stress or anxiety all day (double him, double him or double his brain waves) until he is exhausted at night, and then plunge into bed and start sleeping (directly enter the Delta brain wave state). There is no time for relaxation and drowsiness in a day (no time to enter the state of alpha brain waves and other brain waves). In modern life, too many people use their brains like this, and suddenly they forcibly enter the fourth gear directly from the first gear, and then return directly from the fourth gear to the first gear. The rationality of the existence of alpha brainwaves is inherent in our human brain and is one of the basic states of the brain. However, the tension of modern life makes too many people forget to keep their brains in the state of alpha brain waves, so many people become victims of diseases caused by tension and anxiety. Tension and anxiety can reduce the body's immune ability. However, people with relatively more alpha brain waves have relatively less anxiety and nervousness, so their immune ability is relatively high. This is good for everyone. 3. Creativity The relationship between creativity and alpha brainwaves is an important topic. Scientists have found that people with high creativity have different brain waves from ordinary people. In order to get creative inspiration, the brain needs to be able to generate a large number of alpha brain waves at the right time, and this generation occurs in the left brain. When there are problems or difficulties to be solved, people with high creativity can produce such alpha brainwave generation; Ordinary or low creative people can't do this, so they can't get ideas or methods to solve problems. Whenever you have new ideas and ideas, you can know that your brain is producing more alpha brain waves than usual. In modern society, creativity is very important to everyone. 4, top performance Alpha brainwaves are of great help to the top performance of individuals. Recently, medical experts in the field of sports have found that athletes will produce a large number of alpha brain waves in their left brain before making top achievements. One of the main differences between novices and excellent professional athletes lies in brain waves. Before making an accurate shot, the brain of a professional player will generate an alpha brainwave; Before making a perfect swing, professional golfers will have alpha brain waves in their brains; Before completing an accurate shooting or archery, a professional athlete will have an alpha brainwave in his brain. However, there is no such alpha brainwave form in the brains of beginners or ordinary athletes. The analysis of the brain waves of archers during training shows that with the increase of training time and the improvement of training results, the alpha brain waves in the brain gradually increase before making a perfect blow. Alpha brainwave is the basic factor of top performance, although it takes time to improve alpha brainwave. 5. What effect does alpha brainwave have on me? If you want to reduce tension, stress and anxiety, you should increase alpha brain waves in your brain at an appropriate time, which can also improve your immunity. If you want to improve the efficiency of the brain and become a creative person, you should learn how to improve the alpha brain wave of the brain. If you want to stand out in front of everyone, whether it's sports or other aspects, you have to use alpha brainwaves. Some people are born with sports, acting or other talents, but what if you are not so lucky? What can we do? Is there any way to improve the alpha brain waves in the brain? The answer is yes!
