Repetitive TMS for Alzheimer’s Disease Alters Brain Waves & Enhances Cognition (2024 Study)

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is making waves in the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research, offering a glimmer of hope for enhancing cognitive functions in patients. By targeting specific brain regions, rTMS has shown promising results in modulating neural activity and improving cognitive scores. This innovative therapy, coupled with real-time monitoring through electroencephalography (EEG), …

5 Types Of Brain Waves Frequencies: Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta

by GLOOM

It is important to know that all humans display five different types of electrical patterns or “brain waves” across the cortex. The brain waves can be observed with an EEG (or an “electroencephalograph”) – a tool that allows researchers to note brain wave patterns. Each brain wave has a purpose and helps serve us in …

Gamma Brain Waves: 40 Hz to 100 Hz

by GLOOM

Gamma brain waves are the fastest documented brain wave activity on an E.E.G. oscillating between 40 Hz and 100 Hz. Because they are the “fastest” brain wave activity, they also have the smallest amplitude on an E.E.G. (electroencephalogram) in comparison to the other major ranges of brain wave frequencies. Gamma waves play a role in …
