These Gamma Waves (40Hz track + music) are the “most conscious” of the brainwave frequencies.

Recorded to be more stimulating than relaxing, gamma waves can increase alertness, focus, cognition, especially when it comes to visual awareness! Gamma waves were initially ignored before the development of digital electroencephalography. A 2004 study took eight long-term Tibetan Buddhist practitioners of meditation and, using electrodes, monitored the patterns of electrical activity produced by their brains as they meditated.

The researchers compared the brain activity of the monks to a group of novice meditators (the study had these subjects meditate an hour a day for one week prior to empirical observation). In a normal meditative state, both groups were shown to have similar brain activity.

However, when the monks were told to generate an objective feeling of compassion during meditation, their brain activity began to fire in a rhythmic, coherent manner, suggesting neuronal structures were firing in harmony. This was observed at a frequency of 25–40 Hz, the rhythm of gamma waves.

This special recording is one hour long and intended for daytime use only.
