While reading calmdownmind I read abt some system called Brainev.
It sounded quite fascinating.

These are 2 reviews of brainev.

What is brainwave entrainment by the way?

http://www.mind-expanding-techniques.net/brainwave-entrainment.html
How many times have you fallen asleep in a car, train or boat as a passenger? You think that it is related to your energy levels?

When driving to a very long and straight highway, how do you feel after a while?  You might catch yourself daydreaming and thinking while at the same time feeling absolutely relaxed. Have you wondered why? You think that the trip is just boring?

When I was in military service we used to be transferred with C-130 military cargo aircraft. These planes have no sound insulation materials (for weight reduction) and the noise in its cabin is terrible and unforgettable. When the plane gets off, the noise pollution drives you crazy.

Well, this happens for the first 20-30 minutes, after that all the passengers were dreaming and sleeping peacefully like birds… including me. The flight once was for about 3 hours. I was sleeping for 2 hours.

So what is common with all these cases? All these are examples of BWE. Let’s see what it is finally.

Brainwave entrainment is a way to promote a specific frequency for your brainwaves to follow. If you could check a functioning human brain under a microscope you could see that the brain’s neurons transmit electrical pulses. These are called brainwaves. The number of pulses that a neuron transmits in a second is called frequency.

The human brain it is not operating in a single brainwave frequency. Different areas of the brain may have different frequencies. What it determines a brain state is the dominant frequency of the brain; the frequency of the most brainwaves.

Numerous research and daily examples have proven that the human brain reacts to external stimuli that are perceived through the human senses. This means that the brain tries to synchronize its dominant brainwave frequency with that of the external stimulus. This is not an assumption anymore but a fact. This procedure is called Brainwave Entrainment.

How it works

Any external stimulus applied for over 15 minutes at a stable frequency is capable to alter the brainwaves. After many years of research, there have been developed some very effective methods. We will see these methods in a while.

Target Frequencies

The BWE has one purpose; to alter your dominant brainwave frequency. The brainwave frequencies have been classified into ranges. Starting from the lower frequency to the higher, these are as follows:

• Delta (0.5 – 4Hz)
• Theta (4 – 7Hz)
• Alpha (7 – 13Hz)
• Beta (13 – 30Hz)
• Gamma (30 – 100Hz)

Every frequency is associated with a different brain state. With Brainwave entrainment you stimulate the brain to reproduce a specific brain state on demand. There are known brain states associated with the above frequency ranges.  Read more on Brainwave Frequencies and Brain States.

Auditory stimulation has a powerful effect on the frequency activity of the brain. Rhythmic sound waves entering the ears results in a phenomenon called “entrainment” whereby brainwaves match and resonate at the same frequency as the stimulating audio frequency.

There is considerable evidence that auditory entrainment is a replicable physical phenomenon. The use of auditory entrainment to challenge and stimulate the brain appears to result in improved functioning on intelligence tests, achievement tests, and behavior.
