Can you learn languages with brain waves?
Brain waves: Scientific evidence.
The studies on brain waves does indicate an increase in learning and memory.
Brain waves: The pragmatic reality.
Brain waves does help, but as a supplement to active learning, that is testing and retesting and drilling.
The best way to learn in my opinion is listen to classical music. It is much more interesting and fun then listening to brainwaves, while studying. However, after you study, is when brainwaves are important. After you study is when the brain reorganizes the information you learned. Therefore,use theta waves and theta wave combinations, that is, theta brainwaves combined with alpha and delta for 15 minutes after you study. Brain wave learning is closely connected to sleep learning. What I mean by that is after you study, if you sleep information will be retained more effciently. Try to study before you go to bed. You will see.
My program mp3 language learning will use brain waves in various ways to help you learn.
These are a list of brain waves and their functions.
Beta brain waves - 14-30 HZ Associated with focused attention towards external stimuli helpful for those with attention or motivation problems or hyperactivity, good for problem solving, arousal, dendrite growth.
Alpha brain waves- 9-14 HZ Alpha waves create a state of light relaxation which enhances focused concentration similar to a meditative state. That is, relaxed, detached awareness associated with visualization, sensory imagery a gateway to meditation is a bridge state between the conscious and subconscious mind. This brain state allows the brain to absorb information more readily and enhances memory recall. Also good for those with ADD and concentration problems. Use Alpha waves when you feel fatigued to help concentration.
Theta brain waves- 4-8 HZ The is the twilight state. The central accelerated learning state associated openness. This openness or childlike receptiveness is associated with enhanced imprinting and recall, fantasy, imagery, creativity, imagery flashes and universal openness, dreaming, deep meditation, drowsiness. It is the door to subconscious images hidden for years. Profound positive physical affects resulting from deep relaxation. This near sleep brain waves often associated with mystical insight. This brain state is the best for absorbing new information and learning languages; it is the doorway to memory formation. However, since theta waves can cause drowsiness.
Delta brain waves- .5 to 3 HZ Delta is connected to deep sleep. Connected to the deepest state of dreamless sleep which our bodies can focus all its energy on regeneration and growth, almost hibernation, with slowed physiological processes. Also associated with various hormonal processes as pituitary growth hormone release.
