brainwave entrainment

As most of you know by now, I’m pretty excited about the possibilities of brainwave entrainment. Oh, I know it sounds a bit flaky, and yes, sure, my first exposure to it was in new age music during the 90s.

And although the core theory behind entrainment (exposure to specifically applied frequencies of sound and light can temporarily shift the state of most people’s brainwaves - and thereby temporarily affect their state of awareness - ie, awake, daydreamy, or sleepy) is pretty well accepted, a lot of the claims out there are not so… um.. accepted.

But like hypnosis, meditation, brain-games and other mind-training techniques, the loose definitions and early stages of applied research leaves it open to a lot of marketing hoopla and woo.

Here are a few of my favorites:

You may have noticed these pretty little colored buttons  hanging around the site here and there, and wondered what that was all about. 

Or maybe you’ve seen mentions of Holosync and Brainwave Entrainment in posts and comments.   Well, I’m finally getting around to telling you what that’s all about.

After writing the Smackdown post, my brain was a bit frazzled, so I took the opportunity to try out a brain wave entrainment mp3, Brain-Flex from Grasshopper Enterprises.

Many of these sorts of files seem to give me a headache, but this one did indeed seem to refresh, focus and energize me. It’s a bit long at 30 minutes, so I haven’t given it a full test whirl yet, but.. so far, it has my stamp of approval.
