Brainwaves (EEG) and psychological condition By using EEG (ElectroEncephaloGraphy) measurements, the electronic activity of the brain can be determined. The measured oscillations offer information about the condition of the person. There are four different conditions:
*
Classification according to Anna Wise
This classification is just an approach.
According to the latest findings, certain psychological conditions (alertness,
creativity…) show a composition of various frequency areas.
Stimulating the brain waves By stimulating the physiology - especially the organs of perception - with external frequencies, it may be possible to "pull" the frequency of the brain waves into the desired direction. The stimulation occurs mainly through the eye and ear. An effective procedure in stimulating brain waves is the "binaural modulation". In order to optimally influence the EEG frequency, it is necessary to take measurements using the EEG device. The stimulation frequencies are then selected so that the best possible effect is achieved. An EEG frequency of approximately 20 Hz can be assumed for daily alertness. For a stimulation frequency of 18 Hz it is more likely that the EEG follows the stimulation and will also achieve 18 Hz after a certain amount of time. By continually decreasing the frequency, the EEG will be "pulled" by the stimulation until it has reached the desired frequency. From experience, the frequencies at the beginning and at the end of the stimulation should be chosen according to the desired condition. It is thus also possible to enable the procedure without the expensive and time-consuming EEG measurements. Stimulating the brain waves using "binaural modulation" A very effective method of influencing brain waves is the "binaural modulation". This procedure represents an important further development of currently known procedures (e.g. binaural beat). The previously known procedures required a permanent key note for stimulation. With binaural modulation, normal music, speech and natural noises can be modulated with the stimulation frequency. The right and left reproduction channel in this method is processed by a processor in such a way that a time-delay between the right and left channel occurs. This makes the sound come out of the one headphone before the other. The time-delay is modulated so that the desired stimulation is achieved. With this procedure it is possible to generate patterns from any complex stimulation signals which would correspond to a very specific condition. |
