Delta Brain Waves (0.5Hz - 4Hz)Ĥ.5 Hz - Brings you into what is referred to as "the Tibetan state of consciousness", a state of meditation.Ĥ.9 Hz - Induced relaxation, meditation, introspection, and a deeper sleep.ĥ Hz - State of unconscious problem solving. The list below will break down the different brainwave ranges to specific frequencies listing their effects. Fortunately, we can use brainwave entrainment tools like Itsu Sync to help rebalance our brain waves.Įach different brainwave has a certain effect at a specific frequency. Everything in our daily lives-from stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, trauma, pollution, the environment, and more- causes our brain waves to become unbalanced.

Our brain waves are probably not falling within the correct range- some may be a little too high while others are too low. This is more or less impossible to achieve. If this is the case, you are feeling FANTASTIC, waking up feeling energetic, in a completely relaxed state, focused, happy, feeling sharp and clear, essentially feeling good all the time, Congratulations! You are a zen monk! But, let’s get back to reality. In a perfect healthy brain all your brain waves fall within these normal ranges and you have the correct strong dominant brainwave depending on your state of mind. All brainwave types can be active at the same time but some will be more active than others having the highest amplitude. Each brain wave has an amplitude (uV) which determines the strength of the brainwave this, in turn, determines your active state of mind. The frequency ranges listed above are the "normal" ranges these brain waves should operate at however, they can fall out of these ranges. To recap: each brain wave has a frequency it operates at (Hz).

So if you are awake and relaxed you would be considered to be in an "alpha state of mind" because your Alpha brain waves would be the strongest with the highest amplitude. The dominant brainwave will determine your current state of mind. While all brain waves work simultaneously, one brainwave can be more predominant and active than the others. Each type of brainwave controls a variety of states of consciousness ranging from sleep to active thinking.
