Alpha & Beta Waves
Alpha Waves are brainwaves which our brain produces naturally each day. We typically enter Alpha as we fall asleep.
Brain Waves
Your brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which use electricity to communicate with each other.
The combination of millions of neurons sending signals at once produces an significant amount of electrical activity in the brain, which can be detected using sensitive medical equipment such as an electroencephalogram (EEG). This electrical activity of the brain is commonly known as a Brainwave pattern, because of its cyclic, ‘wave-like’ nature.
Scientific Explanation of Midbrain
There are many functions of the midbrain, including motor control, body temperature regulation and sleep cycles. Additionally, the midbrain influences hearing, vision, and arousal. This vital region is responsible for controlling all of the responses related to sensory information and regulating the body’s actions to those responses. For example, if the hand experiences a sharp pain, the midbrain tells the brain that the hand needs to pull back.
