What are the nature and function of
brainwaves including patterns, related
processes and states?
Gamma
Beta
Alpha
Theta
Delta
Epsilon
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
How is Brainwave Entrainment used?
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.
Integrated Neural Entrainment Technology
(iNET), including:
Exhaustive Binaural
Dual Pulse Binaural
Harmonic Layering
Rhythmic Panning
Temporal Entrainment
Carrier Wave Therapy
Energetic Entrainment
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.

Binaural Beats Rhythmic Panning
Carrier Wave TherapyTemporal Entrainment
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What are the benefits of iNET for the meditator?
Meditate deeply more easily
Experience a more powerful yet gentler
entrainment process
Accelerate your spiritual growth
Improve relationship skill
Release entrenched emotional patterns
Experience increased composure under
stress
Center Yourself
