What are the nature and function of

brainwaves including patterns, related

processes and states?

Gamma

Beta

Alpha

Theta

Delta

Epsilon

Page 5: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

The brain is powered by electromagnetic energy.

Whether we are mentally active, resting or

asleep, the brain always has electrical activity.

We can view and analyze the traces of electrical

activity that represent the brainwaves.

Like all waves, brainwaves have frequencies,

which are measured in cycles per second or

Hertz (Hz); the lower the Hz, the slower the

wave.

Page 6: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Gamma Waves - The deeply focused

brainwaves that support incredibly high

levels of information processing, joy and

compassion. Associated with meditation

practices of focused attention.

Very rapid pattern. Produces higher

levels of compassion and the ability to

process and analyze complex

information.

Gamma: 40 Hz – 99 Hz

States:

Enhanced self-awareness and insight.

Clarity of mind.

Euphoria.

Neural Processes:

Higher integration of sensory information.

Higher levels of brain organization.

Deeply influences waking consciousness and

perception.

Found in all parts of the brain.

Page 7: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Beta Waves - The brainwaves of deep

engagement and conscious thought. Also

called “multi-tasking monkey mind.”

Prolonged Beta can cause exhaustion

and feelings of anxiety and discomfort.

Beta: 13 Hz – 39 Hz

States:

Wide awake, focused and alert.

Sensorimotor awareness.

Peak physical and mental performance.

Processes:

Complex mental processing.

Analyzes new information rapidly.

Short bursts have been used to increase cognitive

functions.

Page 8: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Alpha Waves - The brainwaves of

relaxed focus, peak performance, and

the ability to forgive. TM Meditation

has been found to generate strong

alpha.

Creates a relaxed clarity and peaceful

yet focused mindset. Benefits reading,

planning and the imagination.

Alpha: 8 Hz – 12 Hz

States:

Open Focus

Beginning of drowsiness

Relaxed Alertness

Zen meditation

Processes:

Accelerated Learning

Can stimulate the release of Serotonin

Also the bridge between the subconscious and

the conscious – cannot remember deep

experiences in theta without alpha present.

Page 9: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Theta Waves - The profoundly

relaxed brainwaves of visualization,

emotional healing and creative insight.

Associated with mindfulness, open

monitoring meditation practices.

Associated with accessing long-term

memories and healing emotional

trauma.

Theta: 4 Hz – 7.5 Hz

States:

Hypnogogic State

Dreaming Sleep

Deep Meditation

Processes:

Creative Inspiration

Vivid Imagery

Long-term Memory

Out-of-body Experiences

Page 10: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Delta Waves - The high amplitude

brain rhythms of deep meditation,

physical restoration, uncommon

intuition and heart-felt empathy.

Many of the benefits of brainwave

entrainment technology are associated

with this brainwave pattern.

Delta: .5 Hz – 3.5 Hz

States:

Formless/expansive awareness

Very deep meditation

Deep dreamless sleep

Processes:

Healing and recuperation

Promotion of empathy

Immune system is strengthened

What is the nature and function of brainwave

entrainment (BWE), including answering the

following questions:

What is brainwave entrainment?

How is it used?

How does brainwave entrainment with iNET

(iAwake Integrated Neural Entrainment

Technology) differ from traditional binaural

beat technologies?

Page 12: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Brainwave entrainment is a frequency-following response that occurs within the brain in response to the frequency or cyclic speed of a specific audio signal.

There are numerous methods of brainwave entrainment but one of the more popular means is referred to as the binaural beat frequency.

What is Brainwave Entrainment?

Page 13: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

What is Brainwave Entrainment?

Binaural beats derive from the interaction of two distinct audible tones, in the

right and left ears, which requires headphones for delivery. So, for instance, the

left ear receives a signal is 590 Hz and the right ear receives a signal of 538 Hz,

which the brain processing, from that difference, of reorganizes at 7 Hz.

Page 14: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Audio soundtracks embedded with binaural beats

may be safely used to induce an altered state of

consciousness by way of entraining to a precise

brainwave pattern. Brainwave entrainment is used

to assist with meditation, focus, relaxation,

insight, etc.

The most common way to use brainwave

entrainment is to listen to tracks embedded with

binaural beats through stereo headphones.

Page 15: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

How does brainwave entrainment with iNET

differ from traditional binaural beat

technologies?

Traditional BWE embeds simple binaural frequencies into a nature soundtrack. This is severely limited in its capacity to engage the brain's neuro-electrical modulations.

iNET influences neurological activity through a sophisticated, multi-layer approach. See iNETTechnology section for more information.

Introduction

iNET influences neurological activity through a

multi-layered approach that combines numerous

brainwave entrainment strategies.

The iNET process significantly improves the

efficiency of BWE by seamlessly

integrating multiple entrainment methodologies

into a synergistic whole.

iNET captivates more of the brain's dynamic flows

and produces deep states of healing meditation.

Page 19: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Exhaustive Binaural Beats

Virtually every sound in the iAwake soundtracks

is binaurally encoded - even the mountain

stream and rain sounds.

The entire sound track becomes an all-pervasive

entrainment signal.

This allows the entire entrainment process to

happen much more rapidly and consistently,

providing greater benefits to the meditator.

Page 20: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Dual-Pulse Binaural

iNET uses a proprietary form of binaural

signal that combines the power of binaural

and isochronic entrainment.

This combination produces a more

persuasive entrainment signal, translating

into profound neurological benefits and

more effective entrainment.

Page 21: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Harmonic Layering iNET harmonically layers multiple binaural

signals to create a more effective entrainment

stimulus

Harmonic Layering replicates the natural

harmonics of neuro-electrical processes.

Page 22: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Rhythmic Panning An additional layer of entrainment is

produced by rhythmically modulating the

rate at which the soundtrack pans from

left to right stereo channels.

This process is similar to the trauma

therapy process called EMDR, and is

helpful in helping to better facilitate the

release of emotional energy.

When combined with the binaurally

encoded sound source, the entrainment

effect is much more pronounced.

Page 23: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Temporal Entrainment

Entrainment is further enhanced by altering

the pitch and tempo of virtually every sound

to rise and fall in perfect step with the

binaural and rhythmic signals.

This acts as a natural pacing technology,

slowly relaxing breathing and heart rate.

Page 24: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Carrier Wave Therapy

The carrier frequencies used by iNET range from

entry-level stimulation to very advanced stages of

neurological stimulation.

This creates a dynamic entrainment process that

lessons the need for multiple levels of carrier

frequency lowering.

Page 25: The Science of iAwake's Profound Meditation Program

Energetic Entrainment Uplifting bio-magnetic energy frequencies

are embedded in the soundtrack in an

envelope of white noise through the use of

energy medicine technology.

Long after each listening session the

meditator will continue to feel positive

effects because the energy continues to

interact with your bio-field.
