What is Brainwave Entrainment and Why Should I Care?

Brainwave synchronization, also called brainwave entrainment, is a naturally occurring response where similar frequencies tend to synchronize with each other. Entrainment is a principle of physics. The brain emits an electrical charge between its cells, the neurons, in response to an outward stimulus of the senses, whether the ears, eyes, or other senses. The response is called a cortical evoked response. The electrical bursts throughout your brain determine how, and what, you see and hear. These electrical bursts can be measured by connecting electrodes to the scalp. If the stimulus is rhythmic, such as music, the rhythm is produced in the brain as electrical impulses. If the rhythm becomes consistent and fast enough it resembles the natural brainwaves. The brain th View the rest of this article
