Unpredictable Nature of Alpha Brain Waves During an EEG Recording
When the brain struggles to generate alpha waves, it can remain stuck in higher-frequency states such as beta, which are associated with heightened alertness and stress. Without sufficient alpha activity, the brain has difficulty “downshifting” into a more relaxed state. This may present as racing thoughts, persistent mental tension, and difficulty relaxing. Individuals may also experience trouble staying calm under pressure, brain fog, reduced concentration, mental fatigue, and poor sleep quality. As a result, the...
Audio-Visual Stimulation and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis
Audio-Visual Stimulation and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis The adrenal axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) is a crucial neuroendocrine system referring to a complex set of interactions and feedback loops between the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands. This system regulates the body’s response to stress, immune function, energy expenditure, mood, emotions, and libido. Components of the HPA Axis Hypothalamus: This small region at the base of the brain detects stress and releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). It plays a key...
