Alpha Wave Entrainment Protocols

Meaning

Alpha Wave Entrainment Protocols are clinically applied techniques designed to guide the brain’s electrical activity toward the alpha frequency range, typically 8 to 12 Hertz, using external rhythmic stimuli. These protocols commonly employ auditory (binaural beats), visual (flashing lights), or tactile stimulation to synchronize cortical neuron firing. The primary clinical objective is to promote a state of relaxed focus, mental clarity, and reduced cognitive arousal, which is beneficial for stress management and preparation for restorative sleep.
