SSE Talks - 40 Hz Brainwaves and Higher Consciousness 1/3

Title:
Does Gamma Brain Wave Emission Correlate with Higher Consciousness?

Summary:
Gamma emission (40 Hz brainwaves) are present in the frontal lobes of people of "higher consciousness." Neurofeedback was used to train non-advanced meditators to emit gamma brainwaves, resulting in similiar subjective reports of "higher consciousness."

@Deadspawn007 You should look into binaural beats if you like this stuff. It's a big ocean for a thirsty mind ;]

@raydogg1977 "but most gamma meditations whether utilizing a monaural, isochronic, or binaural tone make a distinction that it increases the fear response."

Interesting point! So is it possible then that one of those three tones (mon, iso, bin) is more adapted to facilitate "gamma meditation" in westerners?

Also, you think it could be possible for westerners to achieve "gamma med" without props such as tones/beats or any other sensory props?

@raydogg1977 Greg Braden has yet to be correct about anything as yet

[raydogg1977]

I've heard experts like Greg Braden say that" fear vibrates at a lower frequency", but most gamma meditations whether utilizing a monaural, isochronic, or binaural tone make a distinction that it increases the fear response.

This is all very fascinating new information to me. I think these sound waves can be beneficial and ideal for meditation

@catfacefrog I'm referring to slow cortical potentials generated by the brain's glia. It's not technically a fequency, although it's referred to as slow. I recommend searching youtube for Jay Gunkelman 'Intro to the Brain'

@catfacefrog Sorry for the confusion. When I say 'slow' here, I mean it takes 45ms to occur after the stimulus, not the frequency. Whereas the DC field activity is instantaneous.

@erikjerry Isochronic/binaural beats?
