What
is Brainwave Entrainment?
'Brainwave Entrainment refers to the brain's electrical response to rhythmic
sensory stimulation, such as pulses of sound or light. Audio Visual Entrainment
is when sound and light is used together. When the brain is given a stimulus,
through the ears, eyes or other senses, it emits an electrical charge in response,
called a Cortical Evoked Response (shown below). These electrical responses
travel throughout the brain to become what
you see and hear.
When the brain is presented with a rhythmic stimulus, such as a EOD from an electric
fish, the rhythm is reproduced in the brain in the form of these electrical impulses.
If the rhythm becomes fast and consistent enough, it can start to resemble the
natural internal rhythms of the brain, called brainwaves. When this happens,
the brain responds by synchronizing its own electric cycles to the same rhythm.
This is commonly called the Frequency Following Response.
