ADHD Brainwave Imbalance
- People with ADHD tend to have less beta and more theta brainwave activity, linking to focus and executive function challenges.
- This imbalance also connects to fewer dopamine receptors and many common ADHD symptoms.
Brainwaves Map Subjective States
- Brainwaves are measured by EEG as collective neuron firing at specific hertz frequencies.
- The dominant detected frequency maps to subjective mental states like focus, relaxation, or sleep.
Boost Gamma For Peak Flow
- Use loving-kindness meditation, visualization, and awe to increase gamma and access peak performance flow states.
- Combine high-intensity exercise, omega-3s, antioxidants, and emotional music to further support gamma.
