The fastest documented brainwave frequency range is that of Gamma Brain Waves --which oscillate within the range of 40 Hz to 70 Hz. Gamma Brain Waves have the smallest amplitude on an E.E.G. in comparison to the other four basic types of brainwave frequencies.
Gamma Brain Waves have long been considered the brain's information and sensory-binding brainwave --or the brainwave that is able to link and process information from all parts of the brain. Having high amounts of Gamma Brainwave activity has been associated with: having high levels of intelligence, being compassionate, having high amounts of self-control, and feelings of natural happiness. Gamma Brain Waves have also been linked to having a great memory and an increased perception of reality. People lacking in Gamma Brainwaves tend to experience difficulties with learning and mental processing.
Usually people with impaired or retarded mental functioning tend to have significantly less Gamma Brainwave activity than those who have average and above-average intelligences.
There seems to be a correlation with higher amounts of Gamma Brainwave activity and increased brain functioning ability. Benefits Of Gamma Brain Waves People with higher amounts of Gamma Brainwaves are lucky due to the fact that they will often experience improvements in memory and their ability to vividly recall past experiences. One frequency in the Gamma Waves range, which cycles 40 times per second (e.g. At a rate of 40 Hz), has been known to regulate memory processing in the brain.
If you are currently having difficulty remembering information like: names, dates, events, plans, etc. --you would likely benefit from increasing your Gamma Brainwave range. Gamma Brain Waves are also known to boost your perception of reality through your five senses.
Gamma Brainwave activity is responsible for making smells more powerful, increasing your visual acuity, sharpening your hearing, and making foods taste better.
Those who lack Gamma Brain Waves may have the same foods or be put in the same environment, but their brain's will not have as much sensory-rich processing as individuals with Gamma activity. The Gamma Brainwave range is able to properly combine or "bind" your senses and memory together for one ultimate experience.
This is why on a memorable night you'll often remember the music that was playing, the aroma of the atmosphere, what you saw, the foods you ate, etc. The Gamma Brain Wave state is an incredibly focused one and allows us to get the richest possible sensory experience as a result of our external world.
Gamma Brain Waves have also been linked with the ability to process large amounts of information in relatively small amounts of time. Think of having more Gamma Activity as getting a processor upgrade for your brain.
People without much Gamma activity literally cannot imagine what they are missing out on --unless they have experienced Gamma activity before. One of the best side-effects from Gamma Brainwave Entrainment is that you'll naturally begin to feel more compassionate towards others and internally happier. Gamma Brain Waves have been documented as being a powerful antidepressant-type brainwave.
This makes complete sense due the fact that people suffering from clinical depression tend to have lower-than-average amounts of Gamma Brain Waves.
People With Gamma Brain Waves Everyone has some Gamma Brainwave activity, but some groups of people have more Gamma activity than others.
People with plenty of Gamma Brainwave activity include: People in advanced stages of meditation and people living in a state of peak-performance.
Gamma Brain Waves is the most common brainwave state for top-notch athletic performers to be in when they perform perfectly (i.e. When Tiger Woods sinks put from far away OR when an Olympic performer receives a perfect score from the judges).
Other people with high amounts of Gamma Brain Waves include: Quick-learners, highly-motivated and ambitious individuals, and people with a lot of focused mental activity.
If you are above average intelligence or among a group of top-athletic performers, chances are good that you already know what Gamma Brainwaves feel like. For the rest of us, we usually need to learn ways that we can naturally increase our Gamma Brain Waves. [
