Your hearing goes right near the center of the brain. If you listen to gamma waves, there's a good chance that vibration hits your brain and your brain starts mimicking it. When you hear an alarm, you become alert, when you hear a flowing stream of water, you become relaxed. The brain responds to sounds very well.

I've done some experimenting and research with theories about the brainwaves being associate with how our brains work and what we believe to be real about our world. Delta being the slowest - it's also the brainwave that develop first (from age 0-4 years) - this seems to be associated with belief in real - or what we believe to be real - and this brainwave seems to be the foundation of every other behavior as we grow up. Next up is theta - which controls emotions, Alpha which control feelings and beta which control logic (or that voice in your head you use to talk to yourself) - which also seems to be where conciseness resides. It's really fascinating and I haven't seen a better explanation and the experiences I have with utilizing these theories seem to be accurate. Most of this work has been explored by John C. Lilly and John Worthington. It's truly awesome that all this research and science is around to better understand the human brain and even our own purpose on this earth.
Kitchensink108 True. But if you're a super genius you will require the brain waves of a dumb relative to cancel out your brain waves so you're not able to be tracked by the Galactic Federation.
It's s probably in the order they have been discovered, recognised & understood 😋. And theta is equivalent with T. By the way, meditation is making us forget ?? 😁
here is how I see it: Delta: deep sleep Theta: meditative, very relaxed Alfa: for observing one thing with very high concentration beta: alert, for connecting with people and stepping out of your comfort zone gamma: most active nerves, for sensing the environment
I was taking an ambulatory EEG once and had to go in every day to make sure all the electrodes were still connected and to have the data downloaded. Whenever the technician would hook the device up to the computer, I could see the waves on the screen. I noticed if I tapped my finger or blinked my eyes I could see changes in the waves on different lines.
Changes in the EEG when you blinked were just occurring in Fp1 & Fp2 area (pre frontal cortex). So basically your brainwaves weren't influenced, it was just an artifact (unnatural signal) caused by the electrical activity that your moving eyelids produced.
Interesting! I wish I had an EEG device at home! Your text reminds me of the ones you could read in the old Pokemon Gamboy games when talking to a random character :D
one important point that I think many are not aware of - consciousness comes into the brain from outside, it is not produced by the brain. We use seven completely different physical bodies at the same time. Each body exists in a different frequency range of matter, or as is normally said "It is on a different plane". Each body is using certain levels of consciousness. The more basic 'waves' are picked up by the brain and we feel as though it is in there, but no more than a radio station is in the radio receiver. Depending on how we 'tune' the brain receiver we pick up different levels of thought. By mental exercises we can get the brain to pick up higher vibrational 'thoughts' and we call that intuition. Focus more on basic materialism and the brain picks up lower frequency / basic 'thoughts.
Thank you for this overview of brainwaves. These are linked to the various Aristotle rhetorical “chakras”: ethos, telos, logos, pathos and kairos, in order from slowest to fastest wavelengths. Aristotle understood brain waves intuitively.
Well, firstly this is only averaged out activity that you can pick up from the scalp, so that doesn't mean that every individual process at the neuronal level is happening at that speed. But, secondly - yes, the individual processes are quite slow. The ability of the human brain to process large amounts of information rests more on massive parallelism than it does on the speed of the individual processors. A typical computer only processes a few pieces of information at any one time, but it can do those individual bits of processing extraordinarily fast, several billion times a second. The human brain acts all at once. There are tens of billions of nerve cells with tens of trillions of connections all working at once. It's hard to make any meaningful comparisons, but it is probably still the case that the human brain will outperform computers for quite a while to come. If you take into account that the neural network system Google Alpha Zero, whilst analysing only about one position for every thousand analysed by Stockfish was recently able to win or draw all of its chess games against that engine (excluding when known openings were pre-programmed), then you might argue that there is another factor of a thousand of improved computing for the brain against a typical computer because the brain seeks out solutions far more efficiently, looking in the right place based on experience far more often than a computer typically would.
The key difference is that a normal computer processor runs at 2 billion hz but with only 1 or 2 instructions per cycle, whereas your brain is performing probably billions of instructions per cycle
The part about gamma waves and Alzheimer's makes sense in the context of having endured chronic stress for a long time and not being in gamma as often as result, and then as I've recovered being in gamma mode more often

We constantly challenge our PD/ALZ clients with new skills, patterns and coordination drills, I should think that would keep us all in that learning, memorizing, processing 'gamma state' during our sessions and classes.
No idea how to trigger brainwaves? Humanity has known how to do this for a long time. It's called binaural beats. You play them through headphones. For example, to get the brain to 40 Hz (cycles per second), you play a tone with a frequency of 100 Hz through one ear and 140 Hz through the other. The brain cancels out 100 Hz and the neurons synchronize to firing at 40 Hz. This has been common knowledge for a long time. How did SciShow miss this? I still appreciate SciShow for making so many great videos. Keep up the great work!
My mind is wracked from cPTSD that has become more debilitating in recent years. It would be interesting, if not solely academic, to see how these patterns change through time and see of they can be correlated with evolving symptomology.
You should try neurofeedback therapy with a trained practitioner. It really works wonders with cptsd and other mental health issues. It's really helping me a lot.
Her gesticulations are so... definite? Idk what to call it really. It almost looks like she's using a sign language (coming from someone who doesn't know any sign languages).
I wonder if the frequencies of these waves are somehow altered, they would have any effect on our thought processes, our overall cognitive capabilities and personalities.
most likely they have. After all, they are constantly changing depending on the regions between which they travel in the brain. What kind of change occurs however cannot be said, since we do not exactly know what causes our thought processes and cognitive functions to work and communicate like they do in the first place.
Yes if you are interested read the Body keeps the score. The last paragraphs focus on using these waves to treat patients for ptsd anxiety depression etc. with amazing results.
a nice update to this with information that we now have that shows we can stimulate different brain waves within the brain (like gamma as mentioned in this video that we cannot yet stimulate these waves)
Speaking of you occipital lobe, could you guys do a video on how blind this contains the brain? Also, deafness as well? I know that deaf people, or at least those who sign, Pay more attention to the vision then hearing people do. Learning about either of those things would be really interesting.
The pineal gland contains photoreceptors so we don’t need neural modification. That’s how we send Gamma to the brain along with brain hemisphere synchronization
About the part at 4:23 where she says that we have no idea how we can increase the amount of gamma waves, I disagree. According to Daniel Goleman's talk on youtube about long term meditators, a study strongly implies that we can increase our gamma waves by certain types of meditation!
@@quinxx12 At 1:18, meditation is associated with theta waves. At 3:25, in the experiment with monkeys, when they give the wrong answer, their brain comutes on theta waves, as the monkey should forget this answer ("Oops, forget that!"). So: meditation -> theta -> forget
Will you go more in depth about types of chemical and epileptic (electrical) seizures? I have had both and I would love to see a good explanation! Or at least a little more into epilepsy. Thank you 😊
temporal lobe epilepsy causes mystical and even sexual experiences that could be interpreted as an alien presence actually communicating with them through what we might call telepathy
When the monkeys got the answer wrong, theta waves dominated yet those are the waves associated with the most relaxation, one would assume monkeys would emit stress responses not receivingthe reward-Perhaps its more relevant to test what brainwaves dominated monkeys brains’ when their answer was wrong and they received punishment. Otherwise as you stated, theta waves are a way of saying to the brain “Hey Opps *Forget* that” Therefore their brains would likely again emit betawaves which as you say may be a way to reinforce neural connections to improve memory. Also when you either get rewarded or don’t get rewarded(No punishment, but no reward) at what point does monkey realize he is not getting reward.. In my opinion as an armchair neurologist with very little insight except for subjective experience-My take is that tnot receiving a reward (but not being punished) Causes theta waves-> state of depression knowing monkey is not getting reward -> Therefore he feels more sleepy lazy finds that hed rather sleep than to proceed without a reward Similar to humans. I realize if I dont have an objective for the day or unable to do anything constructive towards my objective lets say its out of my hands and I lack the financial means for my objective-> Im generally sleepier lazier uninterested in that day.. Brutal honesty. I’m not as excited or looking forward to the day and not as enthused and am lazy when it comes to completing day to day subsystemic tasks that have no relevance to my objective. I always considered theta as being the state of meditative mind or the state of the mind where what you imagine vividly manifesting itself, as most do. So perhaps there is a deeper dimension for that monkey to go into theta state for him to visualize and feel the objective he wishes to manifest what he desires, your brain telling you since you didn’t receive a reward that its time to visualize your desir in order for you the hologram of your reality to align with what you seek. (This goes into Project Gateway the program that studied Consciousness and was classified for some time and documents being released by the CIA in 2003, and the study/ the purpose was to expand your consciousness to be able to indeed externalize your consciousness, Remote Viewing, OBE to affect technological devices among law of affirmation being able to connect to different realities it was sort of a souped up program by Robert Monroe at the Monroe Institute where by listening to these specifically designed hemi-sync waves (binaural frequencies) one could harmonize both sides of their brains to acheive these levels that take monks and yogis lifetimes to attain.
When studying photobiomodulation therapy, i hear from medical practitioners that measuring high levels of delta waves is seen as a proxy for inflammation whereas measuring high levels of gamma waves is seen as a sign of proper brain function. Why would this be? Do these findings fit in with the lecture of this video? How so? Are they discussing different things using similar terminology? Which brainwave patterns and ratios would be ideal for to reduce distraction and anxiety while improving focus and memory retention/learning? Thanks for the video
The one time i was thinking in feelings and pictures as i was drawing and mourning at the same time. And i'm sure that was a gamma wave thingy. Anyhow i guess intense creative flows are usually theta waves. And gamma is more like an epiphania or something that's so unreal and personality shifting yet creative and full of emotions that it's beyond any normal creative flow whatsoever. It's the feeling of connectivity and meaning and beauty across everything in that moment and not because of some substances or traumata.
Anecdotal comment, but in my experience, people with chronic pain have a lot of gamma. Maybe the constant focus/processing uses up more energy, and this reduces plaque? And maybe that's why "doing/ learning hard things" keeps our brains young?
Hey, could you guys do a video on tulpas? Most coverage of them has been from the community aspect and not a scientific aspect, so I'd be curious to see what you guys have to say
The brain uses simple geometrical pattens to picture schemas. But each schema repeats itself in multiple times as it accommodates during the course of time. As schematic circuits interfere with each other, they produce static psychedelic patterns. But as these patterns overlap, suddenly tsunamis of waves are initiated and travel across.
Any info on wifi waves affecting brain waves? Lots of fear about 5g going around. I'm trying to learn about the nitty grity. Do you think it's possible the frequency, amplitude and length from what ever EM is used in wifi could modify gamma waves? I know there is LRAD used for crowd control and other devices that can make you feel physically ill using (acoustic?) waves too. Just curious.
If they could induce gamma waves in mice using light in that frequency range, could sound waves do the same thing? Humans auditory system can detect sounds at 20 Hz up to 20 kHz, so maybe there's a frequency of sound wave between 30-100 Hz that could induce gamma waves in humans.

I guess you will have to update this video as gamma waves have been found to be consistently present in the brains of accomplished meditators.
Ask doctor Banner about gamma waves.
temporal lobe epilepsy causes mystical and even sexual experiences that could be interpreted as an alien presence actually communicating with them through what we might call telepathy
Cool video, well done :)
Love you you have given us what we need
Thank you for this and thank you for talking fast, you know your audience. lol
Very interesting video!
I had two EEG's done after my first seizure, what an annoyingly boring procedure.
Thanks! This was really interesting and helpful! Really well-presented!
While me
day dreaming that I'm thinking in a relaxed manner in my dream while sleeping.
You should do an episode on your instincts.
Very charismatic :)!
When the monkeys got the answer wrong, theta waves dominated yet those are the waves associated with the most relaxation, one would assume monkeys would emit stress responses not receivingthe reward-Perhaps its more relevant to test what brainwaves dominated monkeys brains’ when their answer was wrong and they received punishment. Otherwise as you stated, theta waves are a way of saying to the brain “Hey Opps *Forget* that” Therefore their brains would likely again emit betawaves which as you say may be a way to reinforce neural connections to improve memory. Also when you either get rewarded or don’t get rewarded(No punishment, but no reward) at what point does monkey realize he is not getting reward..
In my opinion as an armchair neurologist with very little insight except for subjective experience-My take is that tnot receiving a reward (but not being punished) Causes theta waves-> state of depression knowing monkey is not getting reward -> Therefore he feels more sleepy lazy finds that hed rather sleep than to proceed without a reward
Similar to humans. I realize if I dont have an objective for the day or unable to do anything constructive towards my objective lets say its out of my hands and I lack the financial means for my objective-> Im generally sleepier lazier uninterested in that day..
Brutal honesty. I’m not as excited or looking forward to the day and not as enthused and am lazy when it comes to completing day to day subsystemic tasks that have no relevance to my objective.
I always considered theta as being the state of meditative mind or the state of the mind where what you imagine vividly manifesting itself, as most do. So perhaps there is a deeper dimension for that monkey to go into theta state for him to visualize and feel the objective he wishes to manifest what he desires, your brain telling you since you didn’t receive a reward that its time to visualize your desir in order for you the hologram of your reality to align with what you seek. (This goes into Project Gateway the program that studied Consciousness and was classified for some time and documents being released by the CIA in 2003, and the study/ the purpose was to expand your consciousness to be able to indeed externalize your consciousness, Remote Viewing, OBE to affect technological devices among law of affirmation being able to connect to different realities it was sort of a souped up program by Robert Monroe at the Monroe Institute where by listening to these specifically designed hemi-sync waves (binaural frequencies) one could harmonize both sides of their brains to acheive these levels that take monks and yogis lifetimes to attain.
When studying photobiomodulation therapy, i hear from medical practitioners that measuring high levels of delta waves is seen as a proxy for inflammation whereas measuring high levels of gamma waves is seen as a sign of proper brain function. Why would this be?
Do these findings fit in with the lecture of this video? How so? Are they discussing different things using similar terminology? Which brainwave patterns and ratios would be ideal for to reduce distraction and anxiety while improving focus and memory retention/learning?
Thanks for the video
Fascinating! Gamma Waves might be a potential treatment for Alzheimer's!
But then why isn't the Hulk smart, he was created using Gamma Waves?
Master Therion gamma radiation is not gamma waves
Yep, that's the joke. I'm glad someone got it ^_^
Master Therion I see you on the Sci channels a lot. Your profile picture always catches my eye.
Master Therion gamma radiation, not gamma brainwaves
Bruce Banner is wicked smart, though!
The one time i was thinking in feelings and pictures as i was drawing and mourning at the same time. And i'm sure that was a gamma wave thingy.
Anyhow i guess intense creative flows are usually theta waves. And gamma is more like an epiphania or something that's so unreal and personality shifting yet creative and full of emotions that it's beyond any normal creative flow whatsoever. It's the feeling of connectivity and meaning and beauty across everything in that moment and not because of some substances or traumata.
Thanks very much 🙏
Anecdotal comment, but in my experience, people with chronic pain have a lot of gamma. Maybe the constant focus/processing uses up more energy, and this reduces plaque? And maybe that's why "doing/ learning hard things" keeps our brains young?
Hey, could you guys do a video on tulpas? Most coverage of them has been from the community aspect and not a scientific aspect, so I'd be curious to see what you guys have to say
The brain uses simple geometrical pattens to picture schemas. But each schema repeats itself in multiple times as it accommodates during the course of time. As schematic circuits interfere with each other, they produce static psychedelic patterns. But as these patterns overlap, suddenly tsunamis of waves are initiated and travel across.
By that logic, to get gamma waves all you need is coffee hahaha
theta waves are also associated with dream like mental image's
mind control weaponry for the government xD
I want to become a neurobiologist now
The greatest product will be the virtual reality set that tunes into brainwave frequency and into the game by creating the world in brain waves
I think that neurofeedback was able to increase gamma waves in one study on meditation.
Please do more epilesy/seizure/episodes related videos
Any info on wifi waves affecting brain waves? Lots of fear about 5g going around. I'm trying to learn about the nitty grity. Do you think it's possible the frequency, amplitude and length from what ever EM is used in wifi could modify gamma waves? I know there is LRAD used for crowd control and other devices that can make you feel physically ill using (acoustic?) waves too. Just curious.
Thank you ✨
@Samson-qk8ms wot
That is just what Superman did with Black , he shut off his power by activating the gamma rays
Thank you :)
my brain is so good it emits in PWM. Kappa
If they could induce gamma waves in mice using light in that frequency range, could sound waves do the same thing? Humans auditory system can detect sounds at 20 Hz up to 20 kHz, so maybe there's a frequency of sound wave between 30-100 Hz that could induce gamma waves in humans.
