First, we need to establish an opinion. Is the alpha brainwave music that we usually search online really alpha brainwave music? I'm afraid it's not easy Radio waves with a frequency below 30HZ can't be heard at all, and music can't be formed by this frequency alone. Moreover, most of the music heard on the Internet is compressed into MP3 format, and MP3 will shield the sound waves that people can't hear when compressed, so the music in MP3 format will not have the * * * vibration effect of brain waves. Even if the sound source is ok, it is also the sound with alpha brainwave frequency, which requires a sound system that can really be played. In fact, not to mention our commonly used headphones, even many high-end speakers can only play sound waves from 30HZ to 20000HZ.

Ordinary audio equipment can't play alpha waves.

2. Synaesthesia of music

It can be seen that real alpha brainwave music is almost non-existent, but some music can produce good results for people. What happened? In fact, music has a vital psychological function, which is the synaesthesia of music. What is synaesthesia? Let me make a simple metaphor. Just like people feel heavy and dark when they hear a low concert. I feel bright and relaxed when I hear a loud and sharp concert. This is the sensory response of other systems such as touch, vision and so on triggered by auditory system. It is precisely because of the comprehensive reaction of these sensory systems that the brain will produce * * * vibration close to the frequency of brain waves, and various concerts will produce various * * * vibration frequencies, thus producing brain wave music.

3. What really works is "functional music"

So is alpha wave music suitable for sleeping? The answer is: no, as mentioned above, alpha brain waves only exist when people are awake. When we want to sleep, using this kind of concert obviously stimulates nerve excitement. At this time, you should choose music with low frequency properties such as (θ) theta wave or (δ) delta wave.

Energy psychology believes that sound itself has energy, and sound waves of certain frequencies can stimulate the body to generate energy, just like singing bowls can emit sound waves of various frequencies, and sound therapists use the vibration caused by these sound waves to treat people in need. When we insert the sound wave of the chanting bowl frequency, such as 174HZ, into a piece of music with 40-60 beats, it will be helpful for meditation, sleep and release emotions. When 74 1HZ sound waves are inserted into 60-70 beats of music, it will play an auxiliary role in learning, thus stimulating the generation of alpha brain waves. Many natural sounds, such as rain, underwater sound and bird calls, have different frequencies, which can stimulate corresponding brain waves.

Summarize my opinion. Alpha brainwave music is a kind of brainwave music. Don't understand it unilaterally. Only alpha brainwave music is helpful to people. When a piece of music or sound can vibrate and stimulate brain waves, it is brain wave music, or "functional music" to be precise. People need to use different "functional music" in different scenes to stimulate brain waves.

4. How to choose functional music

So what kind of music can produce what kind of brain wave frequency? Aside from Hz and frequency, we can identify them in a relatively simple way. When we are resting, studying, brainstorming and other scenes. Give music to your body to experience, and the music your body receives will naturally bring you pleasure. Music that the body doesn't accept can skip the re-election directly. For example, if you choose a piece of music while studying, and this piece of music makes you feel upset or makes you want to sleep, it means that the choice of music is not appropriate.

Of course, music is an art with high comprehensive attributes, and timbre, volume, speed and so on may all play a vital role, so we just need to remember it. When using functional music, it is good to be able to hear clearly and not feel uncomfortable. Try to choose pure music without lyrics, which will not easily lead to distraction. Well, my understanding of functional music is over today. In the future, I will also choose some music with different functions for my friends to enjoy. Finally, an alpha brainwave music is presented, suitable for learning, thinking and listening.
