Help understanding brainwaves Ok, so I know a bit about brainwave entrainment, I've done some playing with it, but now I need to know how exactly it works.
So here's what I'm trying to do: I was attempting to write a computer program that, based on various inputs, will determine the likely effects of certain sources of electromagnetic radiation on the brain. Now, what I was originally doing using simple wave interference, but I realized there were two major flaws in that. First, I was treating brainwaves as originating in the center of the brain and being received over it's entirety...while it seems to me it most likely would originate and be received everywhere. Or worse, at some point that I can't easily determine the location of. Second problem is, I'm assuming that the brain is constantly producing waves of all frequencies, and the incoming waves will simply interfere with those to strengthen or weaken them...when I realized that the whole idea of brainwave entrainment is that the brain will change it's patterns to mirror the incoming waves.
So, really my question comes down to this: Am I making this harder than it needs to be or easier? Can I just assume that, if my cell phone is giving off 800MHz waves, any brainwaves which 800MHz is a harmonic of will be reinforced? Or are there a bunch of other variables that I need to add in to my calculations? Or, option three, is this stupid (well, I know that) and impossible? |
