What’s So Great About Alpha Waves?Īlpha brain waves are characterized by an alert yet calm mind. If ever there was a state we should be spending more time in, it’s the alpha state of mind. The different frequencies relate to our mental energy levels-the slow waves are found when we’re sleepy, relaxed, and not focusing on much high-frequency brain waves are behind more focused attention and problem-solving.Īlpha brain waves are in the middle of the spectrum, occupying the 8 – 12 Hz range. These brain waves scale from the low-level delta waves or 0.5 cycles per second, all the way up to gamma waves of 100 or more cycles per second. This is how your brain talks to itself, organizing the regions responsible for sensing, thinking, and acting in ways that you need to achieve your goals.
Take a high-level look at the activity in your brain and you’ll find oscillations bouncing back and forth between voluminous groups of neurons.
