Memory and retention is the focus of this brain entrainment session. It is backed by a calming country-side ambiance which can be used both in the classroom and geriatric settings.
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into
entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or
electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency
following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align
to the frequency of a given beat.
This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment
can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe
flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the
flashing light, resulting in a seizure.
On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to
induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus,
relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave
entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain
state.
