The study conducted by Jausovec in 2006 examined the effects of alpha-frequency brainwave entrainment on memory. Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field.
The study involved participants who were exposed to audio-visual stimulation at a frequency of 10 Hz (alpha frequency). They were then tested on a variety of cognitive tasks, including memory tests.
The results showed that alpha-frequency brainwave entrainment improved memory performance. This suggests that this type of brain stimulation can enhance cognitive functions. Further research is needed to understand the specific mechanisms by which this occurs and to determine the potential applications of this technique in areas such as education and cognitive rehabilitation.
