Alpha brain waves are considered relaxed brainwave activity. Alpha brainwaves are brainwaves that cycle within the range of 8 -- 12 Hz and are usually generated in the brains right hemisphere or in a synchronized pattern between both right and left hemispheres. Alpha waves kick in when our mind and body are completely relaxed and free of stress. Alpha is generally thought of as the normal brainwave that is dominant in people who are relaxed, creative, and have a clear mind. Alpha is considered the "normal" brainwave pattern and is dominant when people close their eyes. Children tend to have much higher levels of alpha brainwaves than adults. Alpha brainwaves are considered the healthiest brainwave range and 10Hz has widely been accepted as the "safest" brainwave frequency to train. Alpha brain waves help you to: Relax and focus Reduce Stress Maintain positive thinking Increase your learning capabilities Easily engage in activities and the environment because you are in a state of flow Alpha Brain Waves Information ( 8 to 12Hz~14Hz) : •8- 10 Hz Super-learning new information, memorisation, not comprehension. •8.22 Hz - Associated with the mouth. Brings creativity •10 Hz - Enhanced serotonin release. Mood elevation, arousal, stimulant •10 Hz - Provides relief from lost sleep, improves general mood •10 Hz - Mood elevator.
