Brainwave Entrainment

What is Brainwave Entrainment?

Brainwave Entrainment refers to the brain's electrical response to rhythmic sensory stimulation, such as pulses of sound or light.

When the brain is presented with a rhythmic stimulus like drums or light pulses, the rhythm is reflected in the brain. If the rhythm becomes consistent enough, it can start to resemble the natural internal rhythms of the brain, called brainwaves. When this happens, the brain responds by synchronizing its own electric cycles to the same rhythm. This is commonly called the Frequency Following Response.

The application of the principle of brainwave entrainment is not new. Drumming and
chanting have been used in different cultures to create rhythmic patterns which would stimulate altered states of mind.
